Grey's Anatomy's Eric Dane and his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, are suing the snarky website empire Gawker Media over a video that showed them cavorting naked and intoxicated with a female friend. The video leaked online last month, and the two are seeking more than $1 million in damages for copyright infringement as well as an injunction that would prevent the video from being distributed further.

The video clip, which the lawsuit says was filmed last year, shows Dane, Gayheart, and former beauty queen Kari Ann Peniche spending some quality naked time together, having a totally boring conversation and … Read More

Thank you Gawker and Craiglist.

If it wasn't for these sites, we would have missed this oh-so-classy help wanted ad for a "Personal Introduction Assistant" or "Wingwoman."

Now, the employment posting wants applicants to be classy and dress well, and states the following about the ideal applicant:

"Must be able to do 4 things: 1) start conversations with beautiful women; 2) after that, remain totally silent, unless spoken directly to, but smile and look friendly while the man you are "winging" orchestrates the social situation; 3) socialize and block any man or woman attempting to interfere with the … Read More

As part of their wrap-up of the season finale of a show called Top Chef (it may be The Top Chef, we can't be sure), Gawker was dismayed at the single status of the show's lead, Padma Lakshmi. Usually we think of the writers and editors at Gawker as snark-spewing, clever gremlins, but they're really people; like you, us and Apollo Creed (yes, he is quite a character). So Joshua Stein has taken it upon his, clearly, strapping shoulders to get Padma Lakshmi married up. It's a noble goal. The hostess (with the roast-ess) has not … Read More

Oh Lordy. Office romance just got interesting!

Here's the story: two ad agency art directors were having sex in their Manhattan office one Friday afternoon a few weeks ago. A co-worker noticed, alerted his buddy from IT and the two peepers recorded the 20-minute session with their phones. The buddy then uploaded a 60-second video to his computer, sent it to some officemates and lo, a week later the clip ended up on Gawker.

Agency Spy broke the news about the video Monday, and Gawker got its hands on the footage and posted the clip … Read More

Have you heard about this revenge-bent Aussie cuckold making the interweb his personal Gotham City? According to Gawker, a man named Tommii Cosgrove has been waging a one-man smear campaign against a top Credit Suisse banker that goes by the handle Steve Rattner. Tommii Cosgrove claims that his wifey (Kelly Cosgrove) is an escort in Merry Olde and that this banker used to visit her when in London. Per Cosgrove, Rattner offered his wife a half million bucks and other perks to drop him (Cosgrove) and cozy up to Rattner.

The other accusations are legion and … Read More

I'm so naive...I thought Alanis would play a song.

Instead, I cringed through this smarmy "Alanis Morrisette Discusses Her Lesbian Days With Howard Stern" clip on Gawker. Howard hammers on about Alanis' hookups with women and tries to box her into easy-for-straight-folks-to-understand stereotypes, like when he asks, "What type of women were you attracted to? Ultra-femme? Or butch?" Alanis just laughs at him.

True, Howard asks very personal, raunchy questions of all his guests. And I'll confess this interview made me particularly defensive because I love Alanis. But I think Howard deserves to have none of his stupid questions answered: … Read More

We really, really didn’t want to cop an article from Newsweek but the Huffington Post and Gawker did, so when in Rome get crunk. OK, the bottom line is this everyone on a college campus thinks they’re the perfect person to write a sex column. The Onion lampooned this phenomenon in 2004. Honestly, how often do you remember some smarmy collegian saying, “No, I’m just a keen observer of people. These sheep, you know?”

So, a few big time colleges have magazines dedicated to the sexual aspect of campus life. … Read More
