Media Whore

GAWKER COMMENTS
I'm sorry...who is this Julia Allison person? Is she, uhm...like...an east coast Kardashian or something?

Let's at least give the girl credit for becoming a fame whore sans sex tape.

Julia Allison is dreadful and the only reason she's famous is because Gawker is always in a state of near orgasmic excitement about her. Do us all a favor and just stop talking about her please.


You are witnessing the desperation of a whiny, attention-whoring climber with no regard for anything but money, fame, and the self.

People who are actually getting laid do not complain about other people getting laid. They either laugh about it or ignore it.
Julia, what are you saving it for, a rainy day?

The only reason Julia Allison is an F-List celebrity is Gawker.
Stop already.

I can see the Law and Order episode now:
Christopher Meloni: sorry, miss, but even famewhores are not above the law
Julia Allison: fine. but can I get a photo with you first?


I'll say this for her: There are not many young women dressed in that get-up and crouched in that position who can make a horny young man seriously consider a life of celibacy.

Who is that lady in the picture and why does she look like something that was scooped out of the Pussycat Dolls' litterbox?

I once dated a girl who wanted fans more than friends. It was an utter nightmare.

Can I be honest here?
I still don't know who Julia Allison is? What she does? Where she came from?
I've just read the name over and over on Gawker. Other than that -- nothing.
I guess that means she's doing it right?
Or maybe I'm just a dizzy dame who don't know nothin'.
@__: You don't want to know. Just keep on walking, sister.
@__: Julia Alison exists so that when nothing happens in New York/The Publishing Industry/The Media, Gawker editors have someone(thing) to write about.
@__: If Julia Allison didn't exist, Gawker would have invented her and maybe they did.

Someone actually wants to be "the next JA"? Isn't that kind of like billing yourself as a poor man's Courtney Love?
@__: But that is someone I've actually heard of.
@__: touche

As a Denverite, I can say that Ms. Allison has managed to find, in Mr. Cutler, a bigger bitch than she is.

And as Jay Cutler walked out of the club, he asked his Brah: "Who the hell was that? Has she been on any magazine covers?" His Brah explained about the Wired magazine thing. He gagged and said "What, she's some nerd centerfold girl or something? Nahhwwaaay, brah!" Jay deleted the number from his phone, and proceeded to the nearest strip club VIP room and spent $10.4 million in about 50 minutes. The next day, Jay woke up with a hangover and a new enthusiasm for the world, contemplated the bullet he just dodged. The End.

Why is this shit even in the Post? It involves a former Denver football player (who sucks and now plays for Chicago) hanging out in a cheesy Chicago nightclub with a deranged bitch from the Midwest who lives in a studio apartment in Manhattan, writes a blog, and apparently only drinks water. Like I fucking care. Jay Cutler probably fucks a different girl in between insulin shots.
If JA wants to make it in NYC, she needs to learn discretion fast. Sorry, but the whole "micro-celebrity" thing is nothing more than a couple of articles written by a group of lazy journalists. That shit doesn't exist, so can we please stop pretending it does and feeding the egos of these sad people who desperately need psychiatric help?


Allison has a history of the TMI post, followed by fauxgret. Remember her pronouncement about then-boyfriend Jakob Lodwick? (I actually don't and am too disinterested to research it.)
@__: remember when she posted JL's bipolar on her tumblr, deleted it when someone called her out on it, then brought it up the next day in Gawker livechat?
fauxgret not once, but twice!
Julia Allison: @__: Dude, that was a year and a half ago.
@__: Yeah. That totally means that it didn't happen.
@__: And thus it never happened!
It must be nice to have short term memory so you don't have to remember when you've hurt other people.
@__: A year and a half ago. Yet you haven't learned from your tactless mistakes.
@__: Nobody here likes you.
@__: You know, I barely know who you are (I'm relatively new here, having spent most of my time at Deadspin), but, uhm, that probably wasn't the smartest thing to say.


So You Want to Be a Fameball?
I like this article. I'm quietly a bit of a fan of Julia's, simply because she fulfills all of the above criteria so awesomely, and doesn't ever fall into the pitfalls. It really does take some talent to be able to be the ultimate fameball; even if it's an obtuse and reprehensible talent to many, it's a talent nonetheless. It can't be easy. Suddenly, I feel vindicated.

Please stop writing about her. She is dull, dull, dull, dull. Thanks in advance!

Julia Allison Bores Everyone She Meets
Has anyone else noticed how bored people look when photographed with dating columnist Julia Allison? As this Ken Burns-style clip reveals, the relentless egoblogger's picture companions look desperate to be somewhere else.

Not boredom so much as perhaps shame from being so near to that always open mouth.

Has anyone else noticed how bored people look when READING about Julia Allison?
@__: Still haven't found any answer on why the fuck Gawker keeps writing about this noncelebrity.

Ok...here goes:
1. Don't know.
2. Who gives a shit.
3. Julia's college roommate.
4. Some guy she fucked.
5. Don't know.
6. Don't know.
7. Guy with a beard.
8. Founder of some internet thingy?
9-??? More beardo.
Guess the jokes on us. If you read Gawker too much, the only person you recognize anymore is JA.

During the glory days of Warhol, faux fameballs were intelligent enough to know that it was all a jolly fraud. They surrounded themselves with like-minded jokers. They were quite happy to goof on the straights, get high, and giggle. Julia Allison and the rest of the post-pubertal girl scout troop really BELIEVE this shit.
@__: I find it absurdly entertaining. She's sort of making it work, and that is something, when a lot of stuff is stopping working.
@__: If your definition of "making it work" is "beating a dead horse."
@__: I think that JA really wants to be Paris Hilton, and that's because she thinks that's a cool person to be. I'm not sure if any of the Warhol "superstars" wanted to be Connie Francis. Umh, maybe one or two, but my sense is that they knew it was silly.
@__: If your definition of "making it work" is "trying too damn hard".
She works so hard at random, uh, "play" that it gets old as fast as she does. We all know she drags people around with her to make her look like she has friends who give a shit, who do it either becuase she pays them to (unlikely, but who knows) or because they're her friends, but even they could not care less about whatever fameballness she's trying to achieve - and it shows. I've seen happier expressions at the dentist's. Cognitively-speaking, she's a head trip - and not a good one - and subconsciously I think most people can't help but recognize it.

Seriously. Is this the best you can do Gawker? NYC has 8.5million+ people. Bring us somebody interesting or relevant.

I don't think I can ever forgive Gawker for introducing the world to this creature.

Julia who?
