CULTURE BUZZ: Gould, a former Gawker blogger, has written a front-page feature for The New York Times Magazine to enlighten the 40+ set in the ways of Blog Love. Emily Gould and Joshua David Stein used to blog for Gawker. They had a secret affair about which Gould blogged anonymously. When when they ended their fling, it was a big deal among media hounds, and they both went public — he in Page Six Magazine, and now she in the Times.The whole fiasco is very Sex And The City. But with Jews. And people who don’t speak in couplets.

CELEBRITY BUZZ: The pet chow of Martha Stewart has passed away and is remembered in a photo essay on his famous owner’s blog. For a lady whose heart many would claim is the color of gun metal, Martha really manages to tactfully handle the process of grieving for a pet (although her wrapping the corpse is, admittedly, mildly creepy).

CELEBRITY BUZZ: Considered by many to represent the “real” Carrie Bradshaw, Allison is a media staple whose entrepreneurial methods of self-made online publicity have garnered her continued attention (and will continue to do so as the Sex And The City movie inches closer to its premiere date). Even Gawker, the foremost authority on How To Publicly Belittle Media Figures, can’t help but obsess over her every move, pose, or post (and they arguably made her career in the first place). Love her or hate her, a profile in The New York Times (not to mention the Guardian)can never hurt someone whose livelihood depends on coverage.
