Today in media insider jokes:
> The demise of movie mag Premiere means our gal Libby Gelman-Waxner (aka screenwriter Paul Rudnick) has no chance of a columnist comeback. Blurbing his own collection of articles, If You Ask Me, Rudd wrote: "I have known Libby for many years, and she approaches film criticism with all the reverence she holds for dessert. If you love movies, if you love to laugh, if you'll believe anything, then this book is for you, if you ask me." I was once a film-obsessed adolescent who inhaled every page of Libby's shameless sass -- in fact, you might even say she made me the blogger I am today.
> Attention all latent lurkers: Dan Savage has just declared that the moment you officially cross the line from idly curious to closet is, well -- if you're reading this, it's probably too late. "You can act gay and talk gay and not be gay," he writes in this week's column. "But you can't act gay, talk gay, and put up profiles on gay.com without actually being gay. At that point you've jumped the rainbow-striped shark." Congratulations!
> Anderson Cooper thinks Stephen Colbert is dreamy (or anyway he's wild about the newest Ben & Jerry's ice cream flavor).
