Chipotle’s Chicken Burrito. The worst “Mexican Entree” on Men’s Health’s worst foods list. I knew I didn’t like Chipotle for a reason. Their #1 worst food—Outback Steakhouse’s Aussie Cheese Fries who have 2,900 calories per order.

my friend wants to hook me up with this guy.

This guy saw photos of me at my friend’s apt and wants to meet me. Sigh. She said she’d ask me if I was interested. This is how he described himself to her when she asked how she should ‘describe’ him to me.

Here’s my personality: I was briefly moonlighting as a fashion model, but I get $8 haircuts from a 72-year old Italian guy. The haircuts are terrible, but I love to drop a huge tip and hear him brag about his pudgy grandkids so I keep going. Afterwards I kick myself every time I look in the mirror for 2 weeks until it grows out. A month later I wonder how the old guy is doing, cancel my appointment at the SoHo salon that serves you a pinot noir while you look at awful Julian Schnabel prints, grab my 8 bucks and go back to see the old guy again. He says, “Geez, where ya been, I thought-a you move to Brazil to grow teak trees or somethin’ crazy like dat!” and I say “Not a bad idea, Vittore: not a bad idea at all.” Then he wrecks my sideburns like a drunken matador.

I think I am actually intrigued. Assuming he really wrote this. Which is a big assumption.

what NEVER to do if you work in PR.

For those of you who haven’t been following this, I thought I’d share these threads about the Edelman PR/Walmart/Ethics scandal.

It is a really good study in what to never do.

The WalMart saga:

republicans rectangle valentine's day.

the RNC is now offering free v-day e-cards featuring their favorite Democrats

This Valentine’s Day, you can share some conservative love by sending your sweetheart an e-card propaganda from the RNC — a pretty pink rose-colored card featuring a head-shot of Hillary Clinton, or Barack Obama, with romantic tag lines like,”If I could rearrange the alphabet, I’d put T and AX together” (Clinton) or “My liberal heart bleeds for you” (Obama).

Marc Jacobs' pornalicious boy toy has a potty mouth.

This guy just will not shut up.

Once again he took to his blog to start, I mean, hmmm...errr...dispel... any rumors about him doing anything with Marc Jacobs. Riiiiighhht. If there is no story, then why talk?

The afterparty was just as amazing. The Daily News claimed there was alot (sic) of sexula (sic) tension in the air:

"And then there was Jacobs' sometime fiancé Jason Preston, who found himself face-to-face with ab-rific porn star Erik Rhodes. All three of them got dirty on the dance floor and in a banquette. It was Jason touching Erik and Erik touching Jason and both of them touching Marc all night long.
When we asked Eric about his relationship with Jacobs, he just lifted his shirt to reveal a 12-pack. Guess we had our answer."

Sorry that's not exactly what happened... but it sounds like a good story right. Like i talk by showing my abs and it just happens to mean :"yes daily news, marc and i fuck our brains out". Like i said before, this just goes to show you, that you cant believe everything you read.

They all wish they had Tom Brady's genes.

Peyton has on the hat. They are all gross. Ewe. If only they had Tom Brady’s genes. Winner or loser, he’s damn sexy.

New York Post hits new LOW.

I didn't think it was possible but apparently it is.

Bloggers invited to go to Applebee's to meet "REAL" Americans

Bloggers invited to meet 'real Americans' at Applebees

When I saw this on Gawker, I didn’t know whether to laugh or just be sad for Applebee’s and for Tyler Florence, since he has been degraded (by his own laziness, arrogance, and perhaps alcoholism) to shilling for them.

According to Gawker, the folks at Rubenstein PR have invited bloggers to eat for free at Applebee’s Times Square where they can meet and interact with “real Americans” and ask them about politics. Ahem.

There are problems with this on so many levels—-what is the insinuation here, that “real Americans” are the tourists dumb enough to come to a mecca of great food and somehow end up at Applebee’s which they have next to their strip mall at home?

Side note: according to the book Applebee’s America, which is a great read for a marketer or entrepreneur, their Times Square joint is the #1 grossing location for them in the country. Which means the inability for Middle Americans to stray away from the chain is true. Either that or foreign tourists really believe that Applebee’s is indicative of American cuisine. Either way, ewe.

Their invitation via Gawker:

Subject: Blogging from Applebee’s

Hi Ben -

I hope you are well. I wanted to see if you would have any interest in setting up camp this week or in the next few weeks at Applebee’s in Times Square so you can interview “true Americans” about the election, candidates, etc. We would obviously set up an area for you and provide food throughout the week. We thought this would give you great insight into what Americans think for your blog, etc.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Bobby Knight calls it quits :(

A sad day for us Hoosiers: Bobby Knight Resigns.

He resigned from Texas Tech, but was a Hoosier at heart, always ( as am I…I did my BAJ there).

He has said he is never to coach again. He left the job in the hands of his son for the final 10 games of the season.

Say what you want about Bob Knight, but I was a Hoosier before he got fired, when he got fired, and after he got fired and that man has integrity. It might not be black/white like others but he was who he was without apology, and to me that is admirable.

Serge Becker + his drama

The guys over at NY Mag have the full scoop on all of these shenanegans going on with Serge Becker and his weed man. To think that he does not have a weed man and there are not shitloads of cocaine going through The Box and La Esquina, especially the former, is just craziness.

OF COURSE IT IS THERE. Have you been to The Box? Anytime there are midgets and showgirls--cocaine is not too far around.

To follow this story as it unfolds is very hard so bare with me.

Basically, Cordell Lochin got arrested for moving a shitload of weed.

Serge Becker, part-owner of The Box and La Esquina, responded by telling NY Mag that Cordell Lochin, was merely an “indispensable advisor” not a partner like he claims.

However, a December 15 memo from a government attorney calls that "statement" from Becker into question, pointing at an undated letter from Becker that describes Lochin as “more than just a business partner.” That letter pleads for leniency because his company is “in the design stage of our second location of ‘La Esquina’ in Miami Beach at ‘the Gale’ hotel.”

The attorney’s letter, which you can view here on NY Mag's site, points to conflicting documentation (shocker!): “These issues create a question whether any ownership or operation agreement relating to La Esquina was changed as a result of defendant’s arrest on the pending charges to create an appearance that defendant had no ownership in the establishment.”

Then there’s the matter of Lochin’s ownership in The Box. According to the federal prosecutor, a September 2006 Investor Prospectus indicates Becker and Lochin were then in the process of negotiating a $500,000 investment in The Box in return for a 25 percent share of its parent company, Variety Entertainment Group. An e-mail from Becker to the defense counsel indicates Lochin had a 40 percent stake in that Box investment.

What doesn’t seem to be in dispute is that Lochin was drawing a $50,000 salary from La Esquina, plus a $6,250 monthly share of La Esquina’s profits, plus a $1,000 monthly check from The Box (documents indicate Becker and Lochin were reinvesting their profits from the latter), adding up to an annual income of $177,000. WHAT?! Yes, I'd say he has a share.

the weekend of lindsay lohan: sunday

...and then her weekend ended on Sunday where she was caught in the action making out with another Italian actor, Dario Faiella. Riley Giles, who?!

Sigh. All in a good weekend of work right LiLo?

the weekend of lindsay lohan: saturday

Saturday night she was spotted making out with the older and super sexy Italian actor Eduardo Costa. This guy is like the Italian George Clooney (although at times GC would like to think he is Italian I think). He is super hot. Score for her here...definitely moving up from Friday's activities.

the weekend of lindsay lohan: friday

The Daily Mail has pictures of Lindsay Lohan slutting it up all weekend in Italy [we knew they brought her there for a reason!] Hohan is being honored at some third tier wanna be film festival in Capri, but I think they really brought her there so she could channel her inner slut!

She was spotted kissing 3 men in 3 days. Doesn't she realize they are photographing this shit??? Her first victim was waiter, Alessandro Di Nunzio. They met at a restaurant and exchanged numbers and spit! Classic.

Riley Giles is an idiot.

I can't believe he is selling all of these stupid photos. What the f? This guy is a loser. For once, I am on team LiLo.

...and another one bites the dust.

Can any Hollywood starlet between the ages of 19-30 avoid a DUI? She should've stayed in Hoboken.

Heidi Montag makes her engagement ring into a pendant

Via US Weekly, on stands today: On the season finale of The Hills, Heidi Montag announced she needed time "to think" alone and then walked out on fiance Spencer Pratt. The season finale ended with fans wondering what was next for the couple most viewers love to hate until we saw a montage on TMZ of them going Christmas tree shopping listening to some Mexican holiday jams. And then we saw the inpromptu Montag lip syncing session.

So there wasn't really any question that they were together....however, in an exclusive interview in the new Us Weekly, "an often tense Montag and Pratt explain why their engagement ended, and claim they are still together – but with no plans to wed."

US Weekly must be pissed. The Hills is so popular these days they must have thought they had the market on lock with this cover. Then Jamie Lynn got knocked up and sold out to Ok! Sigh. US Weekly keeps losing the big stories, they better get their shit in gear.

Anyhow, back to Speidi:

Says Montag,"We're just going back to being boyfriend and girlfriend..." as Pratt interjects without mockery, "...when our relationship was flawless." Was it ever flawless? Hmm...Didn't it cost Heidi to lose like 100% of her friends?

So where is Montag's engagement ring? "I turned it into a pendant," she says. "It wasn't my dream ring. I don't like what it represents. (What the heck does that mean?) I might sell it."

Meanwhile, Pratt says he's sorry: "I need to accept that Heidi wants her princess wedding and that she is the boss." (He is such a DOUCHE!) Montag, for her part, doesn't sound ready to give up quite yet: "I have a high tolerance for pain. I've lived with Spencer." *Burn*

These two are officially losers. The 5 minutes of fame is over.

I bet $50 the cheap ring is on ebay in less than a week.

Kristin coming to The Hills?

There is no freaking way LC is going to let this happen.

Kristin is a total no ma'am.

Didn't she swear off of reality tv? She is such a hussy!
