As the Indy Arts romance beat reporter, I bring you the best celeb gossip story EVER (via smartbitchestrashybooks.com, your best source for romance news and snark). From the blog of the New Republic (yeah, wrap your head around that, real quick):
According to numerous eyewitnesses, George suspected the woman was snapping photos of him and Sarah, so he asked her to stop. Fabio got up and went over to George’s table — not to apologize, but to explain that the photos weren’t of George. “I thought you were a nice guy,” Fabio, 48, said to George, 46. “Stop being a diva.” Those were apparently fighting words, because George stood up and the two started arguing until George went to push Fabio! “The waiters broke it up before it got out of hand,” the eyewitness reveals.
Fabio’s only comment: “George is lucky he didn’t end up in the ER.” God willing, there will be pictures, which we will post as soon as we see them.
I’m so conflicted! Who to root for? Can I just express my love for the golden-tressed (romance novel) cover model? He’s pure cheese, but in a self-conscious way, like William Shatner. And he seems like a pretty cuddly, sweet guy. Then again, you have to respect George Clooney — the man’s socially conscious, and he makes excellent films. But I still haven’t forgiven him that Oscar speech about how progressive Hollywood is, right before they passed over Brokeback Mountain for the relatively safe Crash.
At any rate, we know who wins in the camp and hair departments:

I just thought I’d pop up from reading period for a moment to say: those of you who have never seen the classic British scifi series Doctor Who need to watch it RIGHT NOW. It’s on alluc.org. Studying is for dweebs. Incidentally, if you’re a sci fi geek at all, you need to check out Entertainment Weekly’s list of the best sci of the past 25 years. It’s devastating to productivity.
(guess how my studying is going? hi there, professor!)
Also, the ninth Doctor? Unbelievably cute.

Let me make one thing clear right off the bat: I started my blog because I needed an outlet for my thoughts and feelings during the 2004 elections, not for the prestige and loyal readership it might bring me. I just needed a personal creative space where I could jot some things down that someone might be able to Google.
Now, if my friends happen to read my blog, great. If they e-mail others about it, fantastic. If people I don’t even know check it out—and according to my hit counter, as many as 62 a day have—so much the better. And if, say, Harper’s, Rolling Stone, or any other publication ever wanted to publish some of my blog entries for money, I guess that’s their prerogative…
Look, if I wanted to be a “professional” print writer, I could easily do it. Last week I posted a very insightful piece on why Saturday Night Live is emerging from the bleak shadows of the past several years and may be on the cusp of experiencing a renaissance. Nearly three of the seven people who commented on the posting said they could envision the piece being published in the New York Times’ Arts & Leisure section. Hey, I didn’t say it, they did. And to be honest, by the looks of the section, they could use some new blood over there. Just saying.
The Onion is genius. And if any would like publish this blog and give the Indy money, that’d be cool.
