LA Blog ‘Defamer’ Launches, Hollywood Agent’s Cell Phones Explode

Nick Denton‘s at it again. This time, he’s launched Defamer, an LA-based weblog designed to skewer Hollywood just like Wonkette has skewered Washington D.C. politicos and Gawker has skewered the media elite of New York City. Already slamming Jack Valenti for his senility and Rosie O’Donnell for being a retard, the new weblog will obsess over “celebrity agent-swapping, aborted pilots, producer bully tactics, aggrieved production assistants, ridiculous script deals, the newest technology in breast implants, and, above all, sweet, sweet box office.”

Finally, a weblog that won’t fawn over Anna Wintour and the oh-so-hipness of New York City but rather the more important saline-enhanced life of LA’s Celebu-wood. If Defamer comes even a bit close to the snarkiness of Gawker, there’s going to be a lot of celebrities calling their agents and lawyers asking them to send out un-enforceble cease and desist letters.
