Dealbreaker.com's Fictitious Muffie Funny

I checked out the launch of Dealbreaker today; the new finance gossip blog by Gawker founder Elizabeth Spiers. So far so good. It holds promise as a jossip rag for the shadowy and discreet Wall Street community. But the introduction of Muffie Benson-Perella as the blog's new gossip columnist was quite right on. This supposed blue-blood twit is, seemingly a work of ficition. But the intro post by Muffie clearly fooled many readers and a firestorm of indignant readers posted their thoughts! Very fun and creative.

Apple Turns 30!

It's been thirty years since the founding of Apple. Talk about turn around from PC victim to media innovator. Wired News has a great gallery on the Villians and Heros of apple over the past years.

Say Goodbye to Brit.

Ooof...what is Britney thinking these days. From marrying dicey guy Federline to driving with her kid on her lap in LA. Then smoking and leaving a gas depot's restroom with no shoes on. Have we no esteem for one's rep?

And such a good start from The Disney Channel and all.

Parkers vs.Cruise

Well, it looks like testosterone control freak Tom Cruise is now banging heads with the Parker brothers, creaters of South Park. Looks like South Park offended TC with the a Scientology bashing episode on the show. Not only did they stop there, they did a take of a Tom like character toiling around in the "closet!"

The supposed episode repeat in question was suddenly canceled. Seems Viacom may have been pressured to kill it as its other studio arm, Paramount plans to release M3, Cruise's much anticpated 3rd sequal to the Mission Impossible franchise. Maybe TC threatened to pull his flick this summer.

iPodders lose their Sense

We all realize the change happeing with today's youth - Gen Y and younger. This digitally tethered generation are losing more patience with simple etiquette and engaging life.

Stuck at a red light on 36th street, I observed an attractive twentysomething in front of me nodding to the grooves of her earplugs. Then to my surprise she begins to cross the street and is confronted with a whale of honking horns. The light was green! I grabbed her by the shoulder and pulled her back. She frowned at me and cursed. Upon pointing above at the light above her I exclaimed, "iPod or death!" She squirmed and bolted the other way with R&B blarng from her skull.
