< BACK TO Fresh Intelligence Kimmel Gives Gawker Gal Crazyface
Things got ugly quickly when Gould found herself in the unenviable position of defending Gawker's cheesiest feature, the Gawker Stalker map. Overcome with a flurry of facial ticks (eye rolling, uncontrollable blinking, lip biting, nervous laughter), she tried to explain away the site's slipshod reporting as "citizen journalism," while claiming in the next breath that, "People don't read it with the expectation that every word of it will be gospel." Backed up by sharky Michael Jackson attorney Mark Geragos and rehabbed homophobe Isaiah Washington's publicist Howard Bragman, Kimmel laid it on thick, and even closed the Gould segment with some snark of his own: "I just want you to think about your life," he said, "because I would hate to see you arriving in hell and someone sending a text message saying 'Guess who's here!'" At last check, the clip was ranked seventh among thousands in YouTube's entertainment category.
She makes Amanda Congdon look like Nancy Grace, and Rachel Sklar look like Christine Amanpour.

Posted by: Moon Over My Hammy on April 9, 2007 10:43 AM Kimmel is a dildo. I like his show. Maybe he should watch it and see that he does the exact same thing in his opening skit. Posted by: lauren on April 9, 2007 8:36 PM She looks like her ego and faux hipster elitism got the best of her and basically farted out of her face. I felt embarrassed for myself watching that. Those weird facial ticks are barely bareable with Calista Flockart, Ellen Pompeo and Renee Zellweger -- this girl should stick to print. Who has the nerve to type out mean-spirited high school commentary and then show her face on national TV? an ego maniac with job connections! Posted by: bobaloo on April 10, 2007 12:07 AM Advertisement I can't believe the person you guys are criticizing here is *not* Jimmy Kimmel. He's a complete douche. Also, she was obviously nervous as all hell. The reason her mannerisms look weird is that she wasn't coached by one of those TV consultants who teach people to keep eye contact and don't blink and stuff. That said, Gawker Stalker is stupid. Posted by: Tuffy on April 12, 2007 10:02 AM Emily acted like a lady, even though she was not treated like one. Had I been on that show - with a few men ganging up on me - I would've lost my cool and let the rage take over. I would've been yelling: "LISTEN HERE, JIMMY BOY! LOOSEN THE SUSPENDERS & LET ME FINISH MY SENTENECE. I'M SORRY, DID I BREATHE AND GIVE YOU THE IMPRESSION I WAS FINISHED SPEAKING?" I would've turned into a complete diva and made an ass out of myself. Emily went the other route: she giggled, rolled her eyes, and remained calm. What else could she have done? Kimmel wouldn't even let her get a sentence out, which is unfortunate. Had he let her speak, she would've been able to explain how Gawker works (as reflected in her post). Kimmel was bitter because there was a recent post on Gawker saying that his girlfriend wasn't funny - everybody ripped Sarah Silverman a part in the comments (I sorta did too). What's funny? Emily Gould did not make that post. She's a Silverman fan! Gould actually made a Gawker post saying she DID think Silverman was funny. Kimmel dug up that old drunk sighting story and tried to act like that's what was bothering him. That post was made ages ago, but I'm considering making: "WHEN ISN'T JIMMY KIMMEL INTOXICATED?" Tee shirts now. That's a pretty good line, heh. In the end, Kimmel has one less fan now (just when I was starting to like him, he acts the fool). I also think Silverman should consider her options at this point. Her ex-boyfriends were so cool. She used to date David Cross - a FUNNY comedian. Cross even showed up at Jessica Coen's (former Gawker editor) birthday party! TAKE NOTE, KIMMEL. Bloggers are not your enemeis, we can work with you.

RADAR used a GAWKER STALKER sighting in order to get an 'exclusive' - pathetic: http://www.gawker.com/news/radar/gawker-exclusive-how-a-radar-exclusive-gets-made-222936.php I've also spotted misinformation on this blog several times and have witnessed Radar getting "scoops" from smaller blogs without giving them credit. I'll be going through my newsreader and see a story in a tiny blog - 20 minutes later Radar has the story up as an "EXCLUSIVE!". Kinda funny how that happens, eh? I find grammar/spelling errors on this blog constantly, but I never notice any on Gawker. I like Radar Online, but they'll never be Gawker so they should just quit tryin'.
