Denton's personal favorite is Lifehacker, Gawker's take on self-help. There's the sports blog Deadspin - noteworthy journalistic coups include an investigative article revealing that football star Manti Te'o had an imaginary girlfriend and the publication of photos said to show Brett Favre's penis - and the feminist site Jezebel. Today, Gawker Media encompasses seven sites with 260 full-time employees. The company had two freelance bloggers who were paid $12 per post. It was initially just two blogs, the snarky - though the term was not yet in popular usage - media gossip site Gawker and a technology blog, Gizmodo. Like when they're standing on a fire escape, in a haze of pot smoke.ĭenton started Gawker Media 12 years ago in his living room. As Denton himself has put it, what journalists put in their stories is inherently less interesting than what they say after work. By Gawker's definition, if it's interesting, it's news. His various websites have stood for nothing if not the proposition that decorum should never stand in the way of entertaining readers. After all, he has probably done more than any individual to loosen up the mainstream media. They ended their argument with a bet.ĭenton should have known better. "You can't use that - I mean, realistically, in the New York Times."Ĭraggs insisted that I could, and I would. "'Midway through his first joint, Nick Denton said a revolution was coming.' " Now, memes about William’s asshole abound, of which I of course disprove."You just wrote the lead of his story," Craggs said, nodding toward me. Remember when Prince Andrew jerked it for two days straight in 1993, among so much else? Got it? It’s funny to think of a member of that buttoned up family having sex, even though sex scandals far more insidious than this have plagued them for ages. So the blind item is essentially saying this: Kate is allegedly fine with Prince William allegedly getting pegged by women outside of their marriage, as long as he doesn’t get too close emotionally like he once did with Rose Hanbury, a woman who looks just like her.
Kateheads were outraged by this: what a betrayal that now that every time Kate looks at her beautiful niece, she’ll think of the Rose Hanbury rumors! But Kate has met baby Rose and, according to Us Weekly, is “overjoyed for her sister.” Interest in the alleged affair has re-emerged in the last few weeks because Pippa Middleton, Kate’s younger sister, named her daughter Rose. “Cholmondeley” is pronounced “Chumley” in the same way “Worcestershire sauce” is pronounced “Woostershire sauce,” which is not all that important to what’s happening here, but still interesting enough to note. Hanbury is Kate’s former close friend, looks a lot like her, is a member of a generations-old landed gentry family in Britain, and married the 7th Marquess of Cholmondeley, David, in 2009. (Harry and Camilla’s relationship is reportedly quite icy.)īut back to the women. Harry and William’s father Prince Charles famously cheated on their mother Princess Diana, and according to the Mail, Harry blames his father’s affair with his now-wife and queen consort Camilla Parker Bowles for setting off the chain of events that lead to Diana’s death. Now, unlike Felipe and Letizia and the Fabulous Markle Twins, tabloid rumors of an alleged affair between Prince William and a woman named Rose Hanbury have dogged (pegged?) the royal couple for at least two years, and some publications like the Daily Mail have even gone so far to say that it’s the reason Prince Harry is now estranged from his brother. Pegging, in this context of a cis man with a penis and a cis woman with a vagina, is a sex act wherein the woman, wearing a strap-on dildo, penetrates her partner anally. Could the blind be referring to Prince Felipe IV of Spain and his wife Princess Letizia? Or Prince Harry and the Princess of Montecito Meghan Markle? Sure, but for the purposes of this hypothetical exercise let’s say it’s Will and Kate. “The royal” in question could very well be Prince Wiliam and “the old fashioned” wife who doesn’t mind her husband “getting his sexual needs fulfilled elsewhere” could very well be Kate Middleton.
