» How your Emily Gould gossip sausage gets made.

This post on Emily Gould’s blog makes me feel like that guy who wrote in to Gawker the other day: ‘Do most people in New York really ACT like this?’

Maybe it’s an easy out, but I don’t know Jakob or Mary. I never pretended to be their friend and I never would. Plus, while others might disagree, I don’t think I’ve been unduly mean or critical of either of them. (Related: This is also why drinks with someone who unfollowed me at the same time she posted this sounded a little uncomfortable.)

On second thought, I sort of love the new Madonna album.

So much better than the horrible Sunsilk song. Which, by the way, is that about superheoes or celebrity activism? They’re both so trendy right now.

  • Alvy Singer: Here, you look like a very happy couple, um, are you?
  • Random woman on the street: Yeah.
  • Alvy Singer: Yeah? So, so, how do you account for it?
  • Random woman on the street: Uh, I'm very shallow and empty and I have no ideas and nothing interesting to say.
  • Random man on the street: And I'm exactly the same way.
  • Alvy Singer: I see. Wow. That's very interesting. So you've managed to work out something?
