Mediaite:

The premise is simple: investigate the accuracy of the daily anecdotes, the rampant rumors, and the cubicle grist known as celebrity gossip. Think of it as TMZ meets Smoking Gun. Or maybe Perez Hilton meets Columbia Journalism Review. Whatever -- the prevailing idea is that even seemingly unknowable information can be investigated in today's info-rich economy.

Mr. Abrams
Thank you. You get it.
Where gossip is concerned: Rumor is the fire, and lack of facts--the kindling.
Your "gossip cop" site is LONG overdue; and much appreciated.

Dan Abrams has the personality of a prune. His law degree has served him only to get in the door so he can show what a jerk he really is. His show was rarely interesting and thankfully he's hardly in front of the camera. Now he wants to launch this pile of manure so he can generate ad revenue? Please! He could use some advise from Katrina VH at least she has something valid to say.

Aspiring to be like Perez Hilton, in any way, shape, or form, is career devolution. Dan Abrams went from being respectable to hosting a stupidly-named website with a stupidly-described function. But I guess if traffic is all that matters, then focusing on the "accuracy of rumors" is certainly the future of journalism.
