Gawker Media Launches Second Custom Publishing Weblog

In early August, we commented on the fact John Waters’ new movie A Dirty Shame won’t need it’s promotional posters retouched, as where the posters of Keira Knightley for King Arthur, because star Selma Blair has more than enough (albeit fake) curvature to satisfy. In fact, the movie may not need posters at all because Nick Denton’s Gawker Media has been hired by the movie’s producers to custom publish a weblog, called A Dirty Shame, about the movie. Written as a sub-blog of the Hollywood focused Defamer by Remy Stern who wrote Gawker Media’s first custom published blog for Nike called Art of Speed, the blog will discuss and promote the movie which opens September 24. It’s a weird, weird, weird looking movie but then, what John Waters movie isn’t? This A Dirty Shame blog should provide all the information and entertainment any John Waters fan could ever hope to find.
