Dear Gwyneth Paltrow: Ever Hear of Brooklyn? [and Fuck You]. Love, The Daily News

Daym, Daily News!

Now granted, Gwyneth is:

* Friends with Madonna = v. annoying
* Has a daughter named Apple = v. annoying
* Has a new website called GOOP where she "shares" all her best secrets and "nourishes your inner aspect" (whatever the fuck that means) = v.v. annoying

However, in this particular case, I'm not sure a frothy glass of haterade is *really* warranted, NYDN.

OMFG: LOST, Motherfuckers!!!

My elation concerning the LOST season premiere tonight can only be described as: total fucking insanity.

I'm so excited, y'all...and I just can't hide it.

Our blogging buds at Brooklyn Based are excited too...so much so that they decided to throw a Lost Viewing Party tonight at the Bell House featuring a rad, Lost-a-riffic recap rock band: Previously on Lost.

The Bell House
149 7th Street (between 2nd & 3rd Aves)
Brooklyn
7pm

See you there!

[Here are 4 sneak peeks of tomorrow's epi (Sawyer = shirtless in one)].

Park Slope Lesbians REPRESENT, Y'all!

Not that we're getting all soft around here, but on this day of change and new beginnings, we'd like to say a big fat fucking congrats to Jessica Chesnutt and Natalie Sauro. Jess and Nat are two Park Slope residents who are gonna be the first same sex couple to exchange wedding vows atop the Empire State Building this Valentine's Day.

The pair were chosen as part of contest held by Brides.com.

Of course, same sex marriage is *still* not legal here in NY so the whole thing will mean fuck all in the name of the law, but we're stoked for the ladiez nonetheless (and really, really, really hope that the laws concerning same-sex marriage get changed v. soon, cause right now they are RETARDED).

Rawk on, Jessica & Natalie!
