Infamy

Infamy
: Imagine my surprise to wake up to see Page Six pick up [by way of Gawker] the item about Tina Brown (below). Poor Tina. She didn’t diss me; she only ignored me; when you’re famous, you have to do that all day. I thought the interesting part of the item was the second half, about her pals dissecting her wrinkles. But then, I’m not a gossip columnist anymore.

In any case, give the Post credit for noticing that weblogs are a great new source of buzz. They picked up a Gawker item last week and they came back to the well.

    I think it was the “I started a magazine, too, honey…” line that hooked them.

    Yup – one the best digs at Tina Brown ever.

    The “mutter” made me happiest. I’m still chuckling as I imagine the scene.

    Jeff: I told my wife the story and she said you’re her new hero.
