Flashbacks: Celebs sound off on the Monica Lewinsky fiasco, Dianne Wilkerson before the fall, and a Phoenix writer's night in junta hell
By Ian Sands

THE GRISLY DETAILS
10 years ago
November 6, 1998 | Michael Crowley collected choice quotes from celebrities regarding the Monica Lewinsky scandal.

"Just when you thought there was nothing new to say about the Monica Lewinsky scandal, the latest issue of Rolling Stone offers opinions on our overfellated president from an all-star cast.

Dane Cook Day?!
By Sara Faith Alterman

Of all the comedians who launched their skyrocketing careers from Boston, of all the Ding Ho legends and all the Harvard Lampoon superstars and all the innovative comedians who have helped develop this city into a place where material can blossom from festering slop to tightly-woven tapestries of comedy gold...

J.K. Rowling Brings a Grandfatherly Harry Potter Fan To Tears
By Sharon Steel

Before the Breakdown: Steven Jan Vander Ark at Sectus

Serious drama is afoot in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter! We wrote about what the end of the series meant for some local HP disciples last summer, but there's a new, extremely serious rift in superfan land happening right now. It's between author J.

This Thing is A Lot Like That Thing: Strike a Pose!
By Sharon Steel
Tee hee! We're all a-titter over this week's Observer cover, although we can imagine Anna Wintour has an enormous bee buzzing in her bonnet right about now. Oh my!

Here is this April's cover of Vogue, featuring LeBron James and Gisele Bundchen. It was shot by Annie Leibovitz: click for what might have been her "inspiration."

More Notes on the Project Runway Finale
By Sharon Steel

Proj Run! Ian beat me to the official rundown, read on if you want to hear more post-finale ramblings.

Christian took it all, which was totally expected even having known in advance that his collection would be the least wearable and even more "costume" (read: couture) than Chris's stuff ever was. I knew he would win as soon as Jezebel deliciously leaked each of the collections (note: ringers Chris AND Sweet P.

Keith's Got a Brand New Bag
By Clif Garboden
Celebrity endorsements -- like high-end designer luggage -- must carry a lot of weight. So much that, as showcased on the entertainment-news site The Bosh, bag-maker Louis Vuitton has invested in the cachet of both Rolling Stoner Keith Richards and household-name photog Annie Leibovitz to push what we can only assume is a line of leather grips suitable for transporting anything from Vercase do-rags to designer smack.

Fashion Quiz: Who is the fiercest of them all?
By Sharon Steel

A. Avril Lavigne, our favorite little married pop-punk foul-mouthed songstress, who just scored an exclusive design deal with Kohl's? Will it be Hot Topic meets Chanel? Or will it just be pink and black and Kelly Osbourne?

B. Karl Lagerfeld, who delivered the following zingers (among many more) in a nine-page Q&A cover story for Prestige Hong Kong:

Daily Street Art: Back from Paris and Iansanity
By Caitlin E. Curran
Daily street art posts have been minimal lately, due to my recent absence from the office/country, but I'm back and voilà! I've brought street art pics back pour vous. From the fifth arrondissement of Paris, Hemingway's old stomping grounds, I've got some shots of famed figures in stencils, by the not-so-famed artist Jef Aerosol (he's getting there, though).

When A Size Zero Simply Isn't Good Enough
By Sharon Steel

Model Ali Michael, backstage at Anna Sui, via Style.com

Christina Binkley's style piece in today's Wall Street Journal arrived just in time to close National Eating Disorders Awareness Week -- and also to remind me of the fact that as much as I love fashion, shit is fucked up.

Ali Michael is 17-years-old.

Every Princess Begins Her Journey With a Dream!
By Sharon Steel

Oh, Oscars! Movies, pretty dresses, a masturbatory ceremony, long commercial breaks, annoying jokes, weird panning shots into the audience of men wearing bronzer and ladies squeezed into Zac Posen gowns. Hurrah!

One thing about the Oscars, though: the swag. Even if you're a pitiful loser, everyone in attendance still walks away with a shit ton of free nonsense.

How To Go From Designer Douchebag to Sartorial Deity In Just One Step
By Sharon Steel

©CARINA MASTROCOLA

On Project Runway, Michael Kors is an asshole. He is the Jewish, Long Island-y version of what Christian will be in about 40 years. However, he is a Top American Designer (thx, Heidi!) and therefore an expert on fashionologie. And, we must admit, usually, for the most part, he's got decent taste, and he gives witty soundbites for us to mock.

Like Hope, Only Different: Comedians for McCain
By Carly Carioli

On the off chance you're one of the three people who hasn't seen the original, the above will be much funnier after you watch this.

One thing we're gonna miss about the Hollywood writers' strike: dudes are gonna have less time on their hands for stuff like this. We only wish Mitt had dropped out a week later, if only so we coulda heard Fred Armisen warble "I saw my dad march with MLK."

"We Are the Way to Happiness"
By Sharon Steel

Apparently, the "way to happiness" isn't a Project Runway marathon or a really good, healthy relationship or a nice vacation or your dream job. It's Scientology, 'course! And Tommy Cruise is here to explain it all to you over the eerie strains of the Mission Impossible soundtrack. Gawker is currently hosting an exclusive Cruise Scientology Indoctrination video, and we urge you to go watch the entire thing.

Oh crap (Spears content).

Ellee spread the word over on Slop earlier (complete with a fantastically crafted illustration - Ellee, you are a Photoshop genius), but Pat Lyons*, over at the NYT's Lede blog, considers a entirely different aspect to the story:

"The father of the child is variously reported to be 18 or 19 years of age, and she is 16.

Daily Street Art: Peeping Toms and NYC street art that's not from the Banksy exhibit
By Caitlin E. Curran
In Boston (Allston), who's watching whom?

Captured by mikeyallswell.

Not in Boston: Don't worry - it's not the oft discussed Banksy (who we personally find hilariously inventive, even though the fact that the dreaded Brangelina is now worshipping him makes us feel nauseous, but that's a discussion for another day) and his controversial exhibit at the Holasek Gallery in Chelsea
