With Hurricane Gustav, we get another episode of "Watch Us Stand in the Elements" -- don't the media make you want to hurl?
Hurricane Gustav gives the media another chance to show just how special we are. The main bulletin: We are such hypocrites. We'll tell you what to do in a hurricane -- flee -- but we won't follow our advice. And on the New Orleans story, the levees deserve the close-ups rather than the journalists. But Monday morning, TV anchors and reporters served up another episode of "Watch Us Stand in the Elements." Among those being lashed by the elements on Monday were Al Roker and Ann Curry of NBC,

Triumph goes to the RNC, talks to Cooper and Blitzer - VIDEOS
Filed under: Late Night, Video, Celebrities, Talk Show, Reality-FreeI thought I'd get this in before we get too far away from the Republican National Convention. Conan O'Brien sent Triumph The Insult Comic Dog to St. Paul last week to cover the convention, and as usual the results are hilarious. He manages to get an interview with CNN anchor Anderson Cooper. Well, at first Cooper just sends him a note from across the convention hall (I won't spoil for you what the note says) but Triumph finally gets a face

Anderson Cooper Calls The Lohan Family "Horrific"

The Silver Fox Is Easy
Anderson Cooper isn't fussy! Page Six spotted him getting his hair cut at a barber shop in NYC for $15. Andy should have saved his sexy pennies. I have a Flowbee at home.

Also, if you’re looking for more Bon Iver goodness check out stereogum, where the guys there have rounded up fo

All The Sad Young High School Literature Teachers… [Summer Reading]
"I would would love to teach any of the Russians including guys like Babel. Definitely Wilde and Virginia Woolf. I would want to do Illustrated Man by Bradbury. Mafouz, Naipaul, Saramogo, oh and Crab Walk by Günter Grass as a weird interesting look at WWII. Plath is wonderful. I could go on. For me I want to deal with books that in Kafka's words 'wound and stab us.'"--My favorite high school teacher emailing in response to this.* *I went to a generally mediocre Catholic high school but every medio

And Lo, The Jonas Brothers Did Absolve Russell Brand Of His Sins [Benevolence]
Heading into Sunday night's VMAs, one could never have predicted that The Jonas Brothers would end up central to the ceremony's only real controversy; and yet, thanks to Russell Brand's purity-tweaking jokes and Jordin Sparks's impassioned tirade against sluts, there they found themselves. Would the squeaky-clean trio retaliate by wagging their ringed fingers in Brand's face, or would they take Courtney Love's colorful advice to sample "some pussy and some cock and shut the hell up"? According to the BBC, t

Loose Lips [Beyonce]
Beyonce said that gaining 20 pounds for her role as Etta James in the upcoming movie Cadillac Records was "so much fun," but that when she had to lose it, she was "so angry with myself. I was like, 'D'oh! Why do you have to go through this?" Sort of endearing that she said D'oh! • Amy Winehouse, making bad decisions? You don't say! Apparently the beleaguered singer is ditching producer/ hottie Mark Ronson for her new album. Sadness! • Dandy Anderson Cooper gets his haircut on the cheap: he spends $15 at

So far, the single greatest example of this is HuffPo's constant reportage from their own "HuffPost Oasis" in Denver. At left, an unretouched screengrab from their front page today. The Oasis is remarkably popular with journalists, considering that we have no idea what goes on there but we don't think it involves free b
