The New York Press is getting their Gawker Stalker on with their latest cover story about stalking Claire Danes...and how you, yes you, can also follow her home! All you need is the internet, a lot of free time and an obsession in which to fuel your fanboy/girl fire. The payoff? Well, for the author of the article, Becca Tucker, it was a cover story complete with creepy photo, headline and font. Just close your...

Resumes are being accepted to fill a sudden vacuum in the self-proclaimed “drug ring” that is Gawker. On Friday afternoon, at the end of a long Gawker post about palling around with the n + 1 crowd – who happen to be publishing a long think-piece on Gawker in their new issue – editor and cewebrity Emily Gould abruptly announced that managing editor Choire Sicha was to resign. And she would be joining him....

Finally, we have two reasons to discuss Lost. First a warning: stop reading this if the show is still on your DVR, unwatched.

Ex-Gawker editor Jesse Oxfeld joins New York just in time for the magazine's big story on where celebs are in the city! Well, he's only quoted (as is current Gawker editor Jessica Coen), but given that yesterday's Post went ga-ga over Brooklyn celebs and where you might see them, forget the locusts, it's the day of the celebs. For the record, Gothamist's favorite star-sighting is not seeing Harrison Ford (with, ugh, that earring!) have dinner at Cafe Luxembourg or Nicole Richie at Balthazar Bakery (so tiny - and with DJ AM!), but it was seeing Elaine Orbach at the Vitamin Shoppe on Broadway and West 72nd Street. It was just the combination of famous, obscure, and Jerry Orbach-related that makes us tick.

- Restaurant Girl visits Bondi Road, which is operating sans gas at the moment. It doesn't seem to have hurt them any: she calls their seven-course sampling menu ($30), which they created due to their situation, an "orgy of fish delights."

The NYPost has a feature about maps mashups, and they even give a shoutout to our Gothamist Map Mashup (look for a re-release next month!) We've been tracking NYC mashups for months-- and currently have dozens in our maps archive. Here are our top ten mashup picks:

Gawker is launching their new map feature today. It's a pretty simple concept: each day they'll have an intern manning an email address, and as "Gawker Stalker" missives come in, the intern will plot them on a map. This way, you can stalk your favorite celebrities in real time. Why you would want to stalk Lindsay Lohan is beyond us-- but that's an entirely different story. The new map feature brings up some obvious security and privacy issues. The Daily News gets the requisite PR flack quotes:

We loved that show "Ed", we really did. Did you know that the town in it, Stuckeyville, is Nyack, NY? Anyway, we were quite happy to see Tom Cavanagh (Ed, himself) is back on the tube, this time in the form of Tom Farrell in a show called Love Monkey.

- Some families of September 11 victims want to block the building of Santiago Calatrava's PATH Transit Hub at Ground Zero

Once in a while, the Today Show can really come through, because it's made any possible Ethan Hawke sighting marginally more interesting. See, during a Today Show interview, apparently either Hawke or one of his handlers told the Today Show (probably in a pre-interview) - or maybe the crack Today Show research team dug this up - that he gets mistaken for Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath. Gothamist couldn't tell if Hawke was irritated or amused, but them's the breaks when you are white, chiseled and prone to growing suspect facial hair from time to time. So, if you're wandering around the West Village or Chelsea and see Hawke, tell him how much you love his duet with Shania, and how you were doubtful of him hosting Extra, but now you love catching up on all the Jennifer-and-Brad gossip with him. Finally, email Gawker Stalker. It's probably a nice break from all the "Damn! I can't believe you let Uma get away!"

Swore it was you. I have seen you at Sweet Sue's a few times and I believe today I saw you on 9th street in Park Slope. I've heard from various newspapers that you are no longer with Uma I have to say it is sad to see such an artistic couple no longer together.
