Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've also worked with writers who have reacted to my gentle suggestion that one of their precious, ungrammatical commas might perhaps be removed as if I'd insisted that Maria Callas perform "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy" as the final aria in Bellini's "Norma."

Snerk

Not that there's anything wrong with "Yummy, Yummy, Yummy."

I loved that song as a young child. But it wasn't until I read Hec's bubblegum pop book that I realized it was about oral sex.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Of all the factors blocking the economic revival of New Orleans, the shattered health care system may be the most important — and perhaps the most intractable.

Except for tourism and retailing, health care was the city’s biggest private employer, and it paid much higher wages than hotels or stores. But there are now 16,800 fewer medical jobs than before the storm, down 27 percent, in part because nurses and other workers are in short supply.

Only one of the city’s seven general hospitals is operating at its pre-hurricane level; two more are partially open, and four remain closed. The number of hospital beds in New Orleans has dropped by two-thirds. In the suburbs, half a dozen hospitals in adjacent Jefferson Parish are open — but are packed.

On Gawker the majority of guesses are saying that it's Will and Jada.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Gawker ran a piece on this. ISTR Will Smith and his wife.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I had a minor meltdown yesterday when my publicist told me that she's scheduling radio interviews and I need to have a landline because cells sound like ass.

I don't have a landline. And i have an open office plan with a technical staff that are like toddlers, so I can't have a private phone conversation.

I was like, "oh well, no radio! sorry!"

I always need people to interpret blind items for me. I'm celebrity-gossip-impaired unless it involves a dude in eyeliner.

Is there an office or meeting room you could borrow for bits of time, Allyson?

I don't have a landline.

Can you borrow one from a friend?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do you know anyone with a landline that you could use, Allyson?
