Unfortunately, what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas. Last night MTV took over the Strip and filled it with up and comers, the standard rock, rollers and rappers and of course...the token has beens. Last week The New York Times reported on some problems at the network over the past few years. For one thing, critics say the Video Music Awards, intended as a raucous counterpoint to more staid ceremonies, has become stale......

It's Friday afternoon and if you are anything like us you are sitting in your office, wishing desperately that you could be, oh, outside? Trust us, we feel your pain. (Well, at least this part of Gothamist does). So here, why not let the Post entertain you, just a bit, with some good old fashioned schadenfreude.Three angry women claim an Upper East Side plastic-surgeon-to-the-stars turned them into freaks by stuffing massive, Pamela Anderson-sized breast implants......

Gothamist was a bit underwhelmed by this year's Golden Globe nominees, and we were thinking of not liveblogging. But, gosh darn it as we watched the E! preshow and saw the starlets sparkle their way down the red carpet, we realize it was hopeless, so here we are. Let it be known that: - Keira Knightley looks gorgeous in her white Valentino - and there's something surprisingly youthful about the dress, even though there's that......

Six female employees have filed a bias suit against their employer, investment bank Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein Service, claiming that they were denied opportunities and financial rewards - and that their male colleagues created a "boys' club" environment including hookers at lunch and rude behavior. Proving that you can't make this up, the suit includes allegations that one woman was called the "Pamela Anderson of sales/trading" by her boss. (We imagine her boss is trying to......

2:04 AM - The media is being told they have to wait a while before the TWU will talk. So with that, Gothamist is going to bed to get ready in case there is a strike - we're going attempt to check out the Brooklyn Bridge in the morning, which is supposed to be really cold tomorrow morning. Dress warm and dream of the strike being resolved by the time you wake up. Thanks for......

The sound we all heard yesterday was a million bloggers laughing, when it was revealed that Fred Durst had filed an $80 million lawsuit against a variety of entities, including ol' Gawker Media, for posting his unimpressive sex video online. Clearly, since the likelihood of Durst getting any substantial amount of money is doubtful, Gothamist started to think about how this could be settled: 1. Nick Denton gets sentenced to be Fred Durst's butler- it's......

Okay, let's get this straight: Jayson Blair now has two big media gigs. One will be reviewing the movie based on the lying lie-y ways of fellow liar, Stephen Glass, for Esquire; Blair was hired for his "unique perspective" or some such PR blah blah to aptly accompany the loads of press this hiring would elicit. That's pretty meta, Gothamist must say. Brilliantly played, Granger, brilliantly played. And he'll also be writing for Jane magazine......

News from Page Six that porn star Jenna Jameson was having her autobiography ghostwritten by NY Times rock critic Neil Strauss instantly made it a must-read for Gothamist whenever it does come out. Yes, it should be a wild and crazy book about being the hottest porn star today, but more importantly, Neil Strauss is ghostwriting it. Strauss' last contribution to pop culture memoirs was with the one of the best books about living the......

When we last looked at this story, we wondered if Spike Lee had a legitimate reason to complain about TNN changing its name to Spike TV. Well, Lee was granted an injunction against Spike TV from using the name "Spike." The judge wrote, "Contrary to defendants' position, the court is of the opinion that in the age of mass communication, a celebrity can in fact establish a vested right in the use of only their......
