I know; going to spend the weekend rewriting this until it's perfect, both sober and drunk and on lots of coffee. The good thing is that none of their writers, including the famous ones, are any good, and I get the sense that Hogan can tell good from bad. Wolff, for instance, is only allowed to write for them because he's one of those ridiculous New Yorky celebrity writers who's really not famous for anything in particular. It's also promising that they print Santo Padre's stuff, which isn't particularly funny at all; Conan clearly wants funny political stuff but can't seem to find it. I'm thinking that I can regularly appear on that blog.

The Oscars are this Sunday night 22nd, and that's a big deal for Vanity Fair -- so I would imagine also a big deal for their website.
The Vanity Fair party is the biggest one that the stars attend (and people always try to crash) just following the main Oscars ceremony and they will probably be uploading Academy Awards photos and stories through Tuesday or so.
