SpitzerGate Leads Ari Emanuel To Question Where All The Honest Politicians Have Gone

It's been too long since we've cuddled up with HuffPo powerblogger Ari Emanuel: The dissolution of his Ari's Frustration of the Day column by no stretch of the imagination suggests the Endeavor partner has suddenly developed a Zen-like acceptance of his rightful, bitch-hugging place in the universe. On the contrary, it seems that certain lurid acts committed by state-level politicians have nudged the bug that's taken permanent residence inside his hindquarters further up the Ari Coast than ever before:

You can't effectively govern the people in public if you can't effectively govern yourself in private. Period. End of story. How can we allow you to make decisions that affect the private lives of others when you can't even control your own? [...]

ClooneyGate: The Saga Continues

It's been nine days since George Clooney supposedly entered the blogosphere as a proud liberal, seven days since The Envelope broke the story that Clooney did not actually author the blog post that bore his name (and the subsequent removal of the offending fauxblog), and five days since Arianna Huffington apologized to her readers for ClooneyGate. Still, the scandal that won't die refuses to...die...as The Envelope today once again challenges Huffington on her version of How George Clooney's Unattributed Quotes Became A Blog. Their report is long and complicated enough to resist easy blockquoting, but here's a taste anyway: More »

ClooneyGate Update: Clooney Deblogged


The disappointingly short-lived ClooneyGate is more or less over except for the hysterically overblown graphics and our desperate attempts to stoke the feeble flames of semicontroversy for another fifteen or so seconds, but we nonetheless note that the HuffPo has removed Clooney's entry (excerpt still available here) from the site. According to an update on scandal-breaker The Envelope, Team Clooney didn't ask for the deblogging, but responded to Huffington's explanation thusly: "This wasn't a misunderstanding. It was misrepresentation." As of this posting, however, Clooney's rather lengthy contributor bio is still up at HuffPo—just an oversight that will soon be corrected, or a subtle signal that Arianna's door is always open should Clooney ask his publicist to whip him up a blog post? Developing... More »

ClooneyGate: Actor Declares, "I Am Not A Blogger!"

Just a couple of days ago, we celebrated George Clooney's brave coming out to the blogosphere, in which the actor used Arianna Huffington's lefty cocktail party to proclaim himself a proud liberal. There's only one problem with Clooney's very public breaching of his blog-cherry: Sure, he said those things that wound up on the Huffngton Post, but to other, MSM sources, and never wrote a blog entry for Arianna. The LAT's Styles & Scenes blog lands the scoop: More »

Latest by Chris: This makes a lot more sense. I wondered why Clooeny was still harping about Murrow - who does he think he is to appropriate a single historical incident/era for himself? Tom Hanks (See index entry "Hanks, the moon and"). more »

Rob Reiner Dogged By Political Controversy, Fat Jokes

Director/activist/protoliberal Rob Reiner is being pilloried for allegedly misusing $23 million in public funds to buy TV ads promoting preschool in California, Reiner's passion project; according to the LAT, he's now finding politics to be even more brutal than the notoriously harsh skullfuck-and-leave-you-for-dead-after-a-bad-opening-weekend world of Hollywood: More »

George Clooney Joins Blogosphere, Immediately Outs Himself

Black and White Clooney, perhaps bitter about being shut out at the Oscars while showier twin Fat Clooney walked away with the Best Supporting Actor trophy and needing to feel a little more loved, today joined Arianna Huffington's stable of celebrity bloggers by proudly outing himself...as a liberal.

What's Eating Ari Emanuel? Moonlighting WIth The Godfather Edition

It seems that Endeavor superagent and HuffPo powerblogger Ari Emanuel has already hit the creative wall. In just the sixth installment of his wildly popular "Ari's Frustration of the Day" (really, is there anyone in Hollywood who doesn't know what bug Ari is excising from his hindquarters on a particular day?) Emanuel's succumbed to madness, offering barely a nod to his reflexive Bush-bashing in the service of utter nonsense: More »

Ari Emanuel's Intervention

You know what we need to cleanse our palate of all of this Britney Spears baby nonsense? A tall, cold glass of political opinion poured from the pitcher of one of Hollywood's top agents. That's right, folks, Endeavor partner and Official Agent Dance Mascot Ari Emanuel, the man on whom Jeremy Piven's soon-to-be Emmy-winning character from Entourage is at least partly based, has once again dropped by Arianna Huffington's online cocktail party. Here's the beginning and the end of his post; feel free to extrapolate interpolate the middle: More »
