for the love of…

You know how it ends.

Worshipping Wealth

Wuhan, China: People burn incense to worship the god of wealth at a Buddhist temple.

But if you stand too close to a red-hot star, this is what happens:

Elliot Mintz at Paris Hilton’s birthday party

[ Elliot Mintz, Paris Hilton‘s PR ]... finally succeeded in doing what publicist-watchers had long feared he would, managing to squeeze not just his nose, but his entire head and neck up his demanding client’s hindquarters.

For the love of money is the root of all evil:
which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith,
and pierced themselves through with many sorrows

Nick Denton and Julia Allison: a portrait of the Dark Lord as a young Media Whore

Nick Denton Julia Allison

The New York media world is even more incestuous than we imagined.

Can this really be true? Is Nick Denton, the Dark Lord of Gawker Media, really nothing more than the sum of Julia Allison posts? It would explain so much, so very much.

With her shockingly revealing photomontage, Vangroover‘s very own Civixen, in her Gawker alter ego Hez, has dared to open the lid on Pandora’s very box, when most sensible people wouldn’t go near it without a full HAZMAT suit.

Who can we turn to for informed insight on the revolting details of this deal?

    RentYourSoul :

    Pierre Ayotte, noted in his press release as a “friendly upcoming Internet opportunist”–i.e. not The Devil Himself, just to be clear–would like to rent your soul for ten bucks a week.

    An esteemed German thought leader :

    Johann Faustus was born in Roda in the province of Weimar, of God-fearing parents. Although he often lacked common sense and understanding, at an early age he proved himself a scholar, mastering not only the Holy Scriptures, but also the sciences of medicine, mathematics, astrology, sorcery, prophesy, and necromancy.

    Blues legend Robert Johnson :

    Many have dubbed Johnson the father of modern rock and roll. Of all early bluesmen, Robert Johnson can be considered one of the more prolific. Although he did not live long enough to become as popular as many of the other earlier blues artists, his music has influenced a number of musicians who dramatically changed music history.

    Angelyne :

    I am everything glamorous and I love HOT PINK! I love pizza, chocolate, angels, and aliens, did you know they talk to me? I have many friends. Ooooh have you seen my art? Did you know I was almost the Governor of California? They would have had to make me a BUST by the Hollywood sign! I have thousands of fans and can’t seem to keep men off of me. You can buy my phenomonal self portraits! Join my fan club!

what time is it?

What a week! And it’s only Wednesday!

Bonus: Guess What Time It Is!

 

Hacked and hacking, plus super bonus rotten weather meaning I have nothing better to do than sit inside and fret about my poor, dead blogs, the WP.com bug that is replacing all my P tags with DIV tags, and the 1400 people who came to this blog so far today looking for the sex tape of a drug-addled, quite possibly insane woman who is, besides, bloated and criss-crossed with track marks, methface, and surgical scars. Way to go, porn surfers. Your karma must be even more toxic than Britney right about now.

 

Plus, I’m really, really cranky. If only I could AFFORD some nice brandy, I might calm down. Well, anything’s possible, right?

Thought for the Day: Celebrity Dentation Edition

No, I’m not one to talk.

No, of course not. Perish the very thought!

I mean, it’s been six years since I saw a dentist other than, you know, casually in the street or maybe in the lineup at Starbucks and even then, it’s hard to tell that they’re dentists you know: they don’t exactly run around wearing white coats and rubber gloves, dragging a drill, the smell of formaldehyde, and an anxious receptionist with a clipboard behind them all the time.

Sometimes, sure.

But still, what with my gravity-free wisdom teeth and multiple crossaddictions to the tooth-staining substances in coffee, red wine, and the blood of innocents, my dentation cannot be said to be up to Osmond standard. Not to put too fine a point on it, if you made a wedding dress the colour of my molars everyone would assume you were not only experienced, you were in half-mourning.

But there are those, even those whose job it is to be photographed expensively, whose teeth put mine to shame. Although there is debate about the subject, the chainsmoking, red-wine-swilling Helena Bonham Carter cannot be counted among them. While stained, her choppers still resemble human teeth, unlike those of this man:

Diddymaw

The Diddymaw will. not. close. Has he done so much coke that he can’t breathe through his nose anymore? I thought that shit was supposed to eat a hole through your septum…surely it should open up the passageways, rather than close them down, presuming, of course, that he doesn’t use his sinuses to store, warehouse-like, condom-wrapped packages of marching powder.

Like this woman:

Amy Winehouse has meth teefs

Don’t get me wrong: her teeth are nice and clean. No, I think the problem with Amy Winehouse‘s teeth is that her substance-laced post-nasal drip has simply started to dissolve them.
