Emily Gould of Gawker did a recent op-ed for the New York Times about her guest experience on CNN's "Larry King Live" last month, in which substitute host Jimmy Kimmel flipped out on her because of the Gawker Stalker:

He especially took issue with an entry last summer, when a tipster had reported that Mr. Kimmel was “visibly drunk and talking loud.” It’s hard to believe that Mr. Kimmel, a late-night talk show host who has made on-air inebriation a cornerstone of his public image, was truly upset that people knew he’d gone out drinking. So what was he really angry about?

More likely, Mr. Kimmel was trying to defend the symbiotic relationship that has existed between celebrities and the mainstream entertainment media since the dawn of Hollywood, and which the Internet is steadily eroding.

As an aside, I hate the new feature on nytimes.com where you doubleclick on a word or words and it gives you a dictionary excerpt, instead of just selecting that text for you as would normally occur. I was just now trying to highlight the title of Emily's op-ed, to paste into this blog post -- and my browser choked because the New York Times thinks I need a pop-up window to give me the definition of the word "and." I like the web the way it's supposed to work.

Reader comment: Scott Gregory says,

If you hate the NYTIMES "dictionary" feature too, and you are using Firefox with Adblock, block

*.nytimes.com/js/common/screen/altClickToSearch.js

Definitions of "and" no more!
