    There's such a glaring omission on nearly ... [Year In Review]

    deathproof.jpgThere's such a glaring omission on nearly all the "best of 2007" movies lists. Why will no one understand that Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof" was one of the bestest, smartest, coolest, entertainingest movies of the year? Because it so was. (If it weren't for that darned "No Country For Old Men," it might have been the best.)

    Awkward Omissions: Much Of Village Voice's 'Best of NYC' Written By Former Staffers

    subject_image2.jpg
    The Village Voice's annual "Best of New York City" issue is out today, and their suggestions include the expected: the best bookstore "that's not The Strand" (Alabaster on 4th); the tortured: "Best place for my mom to cruise for young gay men" (The Container Store? Bleary midnight headline session maybe?); and the inspired: "Best straight-headed ho" (The Reverend Al Sharpton). New York landmarks like Brian Lehrer, Fanelli's and the Staten Island Ferry make appearances and the Voice does us a favor by pointing us in the direction of the city's best Irish bartender. Curiously missing, however, are attached bylines, which ran in last year's Best Of—and, we hear, were meant to run this year as well.

    We suspect editor Tony Ortega (Disclosure: a former colleague, who is, I think, not terrible at his job) realized that most of the people who'd contributed BONYC pieces over the last few months had either left or been fired since? Might make for a bit of an awkward staff meeting following publication!

    Word has it that pieces from Mara Altman, Adamma Ince, Deborah Kolben, Sean Bosler, Tricia Romano, Keisha Franklin and Laura Conaway make up most of the issue, though you won't find their names anywhere in it.

  • To: Perez Hilton. Cc: Gawker: "WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU FUCKED???? PEZHEAD, 1999?"

  • "I really don't do this at all, but I saw this child who is so scared and full of hope on t.v. to night. I see a girl who is being pulled in all different ways who changes her looks to please who it is she's trying to impress the day before or the day she gets up.

Lindsay we did not ask to be born. can't change who we are but we can change our ways and stop hanging with trashy people. God says greater is he that's in me than he that's in this world.the bible is your basic instructions before leaving earth.laugh if you want but you need to find a sprit of God in you life be for the world takes your life a way. i see teens like you all the time in drugs alcohol and sex with who ever. there parents don't care or they have there own life's or there parents live in a 2nd child hood threw the child. trying to out smoke the child out drink the child or see how many boy friends or girl friends the parent can still. if your parents really love you they protect you from things that will destroy you not give the bad things to you. a good friend stops you from hurting your self so does a good parent. never saw any thing you have ever did in moves or any thing else just saw your eyeson t.v. so sad and looking for salvation.

  • "Is that jared kushner in the toyota camry ad I just saw?"

  • "GAWKER IS THE KKK YOU RACIST BASTARDS. YOUR PUBLICATION SMELLS OF UNINFORMED, LATE ON ART, NO CLASS, INFORMATION. YUCK."

  • "It occurred to me that Christianity was used as a bullshit get out of jail free card by those intent on harming others, but claiming to be working for a higher power, when in fact most that I have met are nothing more than carrying on their own devious revenge for the dissatisfaction with life, the eternal existentialistic question, so acting like the gods they pretend to worship to gain mass favor, they seek to be forces of nature.

    Many groups use religion as a weapon although few actually believe in the theology. Many religions use angels and demons who ultimately belong to the same team, like an offense and defense similar to the tactic of good cop-bad cop in order to manipulate others, show the faiths strength or the ultimate goal in most religion seize power and make money. The church may forgive you but the demons from a similar sect will haunt you in order to prove a lack of vulnerability and God's principal of infallibility. The premise of being like God, infallible often supersedes the worship of the deity, there are many deities within the religion of Christianity, and if the U.S has its way of setting precedence with democracy, the seat of God will become an elected position.

    My rumor started many years ago after being tormented my members of the mafia, the demon wing of the Catholic religion, playing on the same team as well fed evil henchmen. Catholics are not alone in their use of good and evil dining from the same trough, in fact, all religions have their henchmen who do the dirty work. My point was to show how Christianity, offering forgiveness by simply divulging to truth and exposing oneself to the evil henchmen although absolution is supposedly granted and the fact the sometimes by not prosecuting a criminal or alleged criminal, the outcome can be worse than the trial and possible punishment. My idea came from a film with Kevin Spacey playing a death penalty proponent who tricked everyone into thinking he murdered someone, sacrificing his life for the cause. I am not
    that noble, I just wanted to prove a point. In my opinion the best case scenario for my experiment would have been to be charged with a high profile crime that I falsely admitted to committing, in fact the worst thing I ever did was juvenile delinquency, minor marijuana infractions and driving under the influence, supposedly. The crimes I slightly admitted to were murder, espionage, rape, being a drug lord, and I carefully flirted with being affiliated with Arabs who might be construed as enemy combatants, but in actuality I was attempting to generate a campaign for a Nobel Peace Prize through discussion and the enlightenment of atrocities of human rights, something that happened to me while being tortured and sequestered for no reason and while being charged with no crime.

    So, I am admitting and my theorem was proven that confession is simply a way for the church to get inside of your head and make your punishment more direct and seemingly omnipotent. And there are worse things than being accused of a crime. In the US justice system, the some play good cop while the some do the dirty work and prosecute those that deviate from the law, or admit to things they never did. Like any scientist it takes years of trial and error, like looking at an X-Ray to see what lies beneath the skin of the religious affiliation or the judicial system. And by allowing the demons or the women to extract revenge and balance the equation, the Angels and the men stay clean and can scoff at the notions of injustice
    that are the foundations of society. I learned that men and the church are not racist or gender biased they just do not want to lose their weapons while trying to keep a strangle hold on the building or development of current empires.

    The separation of Church and state is a brilliant premise because it keeps each others hands clean of involvement and allows for the revenge factor. I often wonder when I watch people kneel in church and pray whether they are concerned for their own spiritual well being or are they praying for retribution and revenge upon someone who has done them wrong.

    So instead of a fat lawsuit for being accused and persecuted for something that I never did, I am perusing the options for balancing an equation so heavily weighted that the outcome is astronomical in dimension."

    Yeah, that occurred to us too.

    Glaring Omissions: "He Enjoys The Life Of Having Many Prostitutes"

    dellGlaring Omissions reproduces tips received from readers in the last week that weren't covered on Gawker, either by accident (it happens!) or by design (it happens more often).

  • "I just emailed you about that Bruce Willis sighting at San Gennaro. Since you guys do in fact look at the emails, do you know of where i can get an email to send my resume or know of anything job openings? I love celebrity gossip and really looking for some kind of work in it, even entry level? anything would help. thanks so much!"

  • "Quentin Tarantino takes a garbage truck ride in England. He has gained 50 pounds since the flop of Grindhouse and is worried that he won't be able to make another great film again and have children. It has been rumored that Cinematographer Chris Doyle has been angered at Tarantino's use of drugs and prostitutes in China. Since Tarantino lost his virginity to a prostitute as in stated in the movie TrueRomance which he wrote based on his life, he enjoys the life of having many prostitutes."

  • "Hey well i love reading celebrity gossip but i never thought i would be writing one of these to anyone. I know of a guy his name is fidel de leon toledo. he i guess is like an escort, he follows celebrities everywhere and tries to keep the media away. i see him a lot. i do concierge for the airport. and i know that he will be staring in lindsays new movie 'hippy'. now the thing about this is that one of my collegues said that it is a stunt. they will film it and start going out as his uncle is a big time hollywood writer. you can just go to imdb.com and search his name. I have seen Fidel work and he is actually very good. With fidel's job being keeping media away if any network like fox, enquirer, star, etc. state that they will be working together or "rumored" to be working together I can guarantee you he will have no choice but to stop so every other gossip will just come out. I can guarantee you that with my life!!!"

  • [All from the same person] 9/6: "Not my sighting, but someone else's...it's posted on youtube. Siouxsie Sioux at Thalias Restaurant 8th ave and 50th st Sept 5th...some time at night. She was in town doing promo work for her forthcoming solo album coming out in October."
    9/11: "How come you didn't post this? Do you not know who Siouxsie is? Grandmother of punk rock!!!"
    9/17: "Still didn't post"

  • "These are notes from a captive prisoner who has been trotured and had his life ruined by psychotics for nothing more than the pursuit of capitalistic business relationships on a global scale.
    I sought to leave this country over ten years ago, and have been falesly accused, tortured, poisoned, threatened and homelsess on multiple occasions.

    Miss USA, chikenshit, pyscho stalker bitch, a poem
    A face so hideous only the devil could smile
    Whispering lies, treachery and deceit to keep the hostages shackled and bound because in truth Miss USA is the biggest chicken shit coward in the world clutching to hostages to prevent the total collapse of the economic system or attack much worse than 9/11.
    Evil coursing through the veins of oppression while holding the hand of your captor like a loyal bitch and doing his cowardly dirty work because he knows his place in the world is shit unless there is facilitated a global revolution overthrowing Religion, the royals, aristocracy and thus removing all blood claims to the land and making all men equal.
    Litter of the world unite, Miss USA, spread your revolutionary disease with your cancerous mole covered hideous face.
    An inferiority complex so big the only pill to swallow is to destroy historically relevant places in the world and create wars in regions that have historical value and act like the savior adult, when the world knows who causes the conflicts.
    Hideous crooked teeth with gunk and slime emitted from herpes diseased lips
    A whore so smelly, Miss USA, she spreads her legs and welcomes all semen , the fabric of the USA flag is like any whore house sheets at closing time. Don't mind the disease and the consequences; leave that for the abused bastard children to pay."

  • "I have been searching all over to find any leads there [the "Sex and the City" people] are filming. So far today 7 am and 3 pm, 100 extras were used outside of 1010 Fifth Avenue at 82nd Street. The description of the scene is "actress sees ,actor and meets him." Could be Carrie and Mr. Big? If you have any other tips for the upcomming week(s) PLEASE let me know"

    • Oh, don't worry, we will.

    Glaring Omissions: Tom Cruise Is Not Fooling Anybody

  • "That dead parrot story has been on the 'most read' list of the NYtimes.com all week. The editorial observer article about the parrot was also on the list for several days, but it seems off now. Why Gawker Why? Why parrots? sigh."

  • "In my opinion, when the story broke last week regarding Nicole Kidman's past miscarriage with Tom Cruise, I couldn't help think that it sounded "off" and out-of-place, for her to just bring up.

    I wouldn't be a bit surprised if Tom Cruise, paid, pleaded or threatened her to bring up such a priviate, senstive issue, with him; especially, now. Maybe he solicited one of those psychologists that he's not glib about, on how to get sympathy through the media. Since, he made an ass out of himself and exposed his freaky, narcissistic, superior, alien-hybrid side; he knows he's got damage control issues big time. I think it's weird that the Beckhams and the "Cruises" actually think they are enhancing each other by displaying their super-hero friendships. Maybe, when Victoria realizes America could care less and she looks like a monkey with a skateboarder hair-do, she'll fire up her broom and go back to her Motherland and take Tom Cruise with her.

    Those kinda tips?
    I just think Tom's not fooling anybody."

  • "Dude the best place to get prostitutes is www.erosny.com... you can literally browse hundreds of girls. Its like Amazon.com for whores."

  • [Sent to Balk]"Hello, Sean --

    My name is Jim Colucci -- I'm a publicist working with the ensemble comedy team at the new hit weekly comedy show, "Shoot The Messenger."

    The show is a political news satire created by "The Daily Show" co-creator Lizz Winstead -- it has been running for about two months at the Under Acme theater on Great Jones St., and has been a big success, drawing very nice sized crowds. Now, we're particularly excited about this week's episode (on Monday, 9/17), which will feature guest star Chuck D, of Public Enemy.

    I'd love to invite you to attend the show -- and with such a fun guest star, we'd love to get the word out before the show, so any mention on gawker.com would really be great!

    Thanks so much, and please feel free to call me at with any questions."

  • "after seeing that "pick-up" video, I finally see what rob townsend looks like. well, now I know why I've never seen him at any of the private house parties in the pines and why he has to keep writing about the public spaces!"

  • "do you think it is morally wrong to use as a joke-y prop in a photo shoot a dirty dead mouse hanging from a mousetrap?"

  • "Please pass along this message to Balk's cock.

    Setting: Comm 101 GCC
    Topic: The City and the Pillars by Adam Gopnik
    Result: A complete class tribal meltdown worthy of quantam physics. What a self preening ass Gopnik is. He comes across as a Sesame Street character with an anti american bend, should this alone not cause a rift in the space-time continuum? I was one of two people expressing opinions in the negative regarding Gopnik. His benefactors came to his rescue singing his praises with exponential usage of the word like. This greatly helped their cause of course. Please make it stop. My life was moving along just fine in the era known as BAM. I was following basic Gawker law of strict avoidance of any of his work along with any other New Yorker happy-bile. *sigh* The terrorists have won.

    In closing please pass along my love for commenters Momo, KarenUhOh, Ellagood, Sarahheartburn, conbon, Sexbot, Cajunboy, htotheomo, Mathnet, the demi-god known as Lolcait and the rest who make life just worth living after all. Oh yeah-please marry off Newtojezebel to Adam Gopnik-in theory the positive/negative should cancel each other out.

  • "I just started working in publishing, and thus, I just discovered gawker (I'm a big fan of the snarky wit, so, holla). Getting down to it, I was reading the post about modern love, which reminded me of SAVAGE LOVE (in the portland mercury), which is amazing. I guess my point is, look at it and write more pithy goodness?

    probably useless, but hey

    p.s. i think i have an e-crush on balk. whoever the fuck he is."

  • "Seeking clarification on the Arriana Huffington/ Cory Booker relationship. Really, I like fusion, but I don't put strips of baloney in lime kool-aid"

  • "To the President and Editor,

    I broke the story concerning the Bourne Ultimatum advertisement outside of Matt Damon's apartment under a pseudonym email address to GAWKER weeks before THE POST or ANY OTHER MEDIA outlet covered the story. Due to your ineptness and insulated coverage of a news worthy event (including the blockbuster movie of the summer), Gawker will receive no coverage or sprinkle of respite based on your poor or, rather, absent coverage.

    [name reluctantly redacted]

    P.S. All contacts with celebrities or newsworthy events will be streamlined unequivocally to your competition. Good luck.

    Life is not meant to be easy, my child; but take courage: it can be delightful.

  • "Why have you not mentioned Toni Senecal's triumphant return from maternity to schlock news on Fox 5? She virtually invented the "stand in the street and be really loud about a fake trend" style of journalism that's the lifeblood of our network broadcasts. Even after the part about wanting a "mocktail" b/c she's a nursing mother? Toni
    puts on a few post-baby pounds and you don't acknowledge her - safe place for womyn my ass."

  • "Jesus Christ, I'm so yay'd up and I'm trying to go to sleep but I can't so I'm just writing to say that I love your website. Except that you should make more fun of that enormous pussy Foer and less of poor balding Frey, because poor balding Frey doesn't deserve it so much; he's just a cracked out and largely demented Hemingway; and Oprah is mostly a bull; and Nan T is incapable of a counter-HARPO blitzkrieg; and Frey is mostly a mediocre writer who unwillingly contracted Severe Over Hype Syndrome. THANKS DUMBSHIT MARKETERS! On the other hand, JSF is a fucking puss, and his nauseating sentimentalization and juvenile stylistics make him worse than that dude who wrote Tuesdays With Morie. Oh, and I cry every time I realize that I spent mad euro on his (Foer's) book -- I was vacationing in Nice at the time and wanted a good 'beach book'; Extremely Dumb and Incredibly Lame proved a tragic let-down. Oh, and I think that chick that Emily chick or whoever appears sexily on Red Eye is as hot as they come. MORE RED EYE, PLZ.

    P.S. Fuck that Ronson chick!! AND FUCK L.A. Less than zero fuckers etc..

    Glaring Omissions: TV Watch's Rob Frydlewicz notices something ...

    TV Watch's Rob Frydlewicz notices something sinister in monster Disney smash High School Musical 2: " However, one quizzical omission dawned on me as I watched. Despite its all-inclusive cast of characters (Whites, Blacks, Hispanics, mixed race, smart, dimwitted, overweight, jocks, even a kid with gay tendencies were all represented), where was the Asian-American kid?" Eh, you know how those kids are, Rob, he was probably studying quietly in the library. [TV Watch]
