Like a waffling yard sale lady who, push come to shove, simply couldn’t part with her prized collection of People “Sexiest Man Alives,” Nick Denton has succumbed to a crippling case of seller’s remorse.

As a result, Defamer is being absorbed into the company’s power-crazed flagship title. Defamer posts will now appear under http://defamer.com/, while simultaneously feeding into the Gawker homepage.

Gawker’s managing editor Gabriel Snyder, a former West Coaster who covered Hollywood for Variety and W, will oversee the transition. As for your trusty Defamer team, we’ve opted to explore new horizons. Stv, Kyle, the McCluskey Twins, and myself will be here through the remainder of the week. Watch this space for exciting announcements on what’s to come.

Questions? Observations? Muffled sobs? Leave them in the comments. Media inquiries: Ask Mr. Denton directly. (Read his take here.) Gawker is hiring someone to cover Hollywood gossip. Applications, and all other matters, to Gabriel.

there are some bloggers you simply cannot replace.

this appears to be evidence that mark lisanti, with all due respect to the others, was everything.

still, it baffles me how a site generating 1 million unique visitors a month can’t be profitable.

one thing they dont tell you about lcd and plasma hd tvs, if you dont get an hd signal from the network or if the program isnt shot that way, then your tv will give you a horrible 480i image that is not just bad, its really bad.

it hurts to watch.

thus, when i discovered that abc 7 here in LA, kabc, is broadcasting the red carpet arrivals in hd, i said buh bye to e-crest and now i can see the glitz as if it were indeed 2009.

thats not a countdown to the oscars,

thats a countdown to time the celebs will walk the red carpet

basically, a countdown to seacrest.
