It it sad what has happened to the woman in my absence.  Turns out, I was really the poor kid&#8217;s life.  Chivalry does not permit me to be specific, but think fishnet stockings, MD 20\/20, and 14th Street. <span style=\"font-style:italic;\"><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I mentioned then that if Ms. Kelly cared to respond to Mr. Weingarten&#8217;s statements, I would provide the forum for her to do so. Here are her remarks:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Gene&#8217;s answer is indicative of his delusional belief that the world revolves around him. As many of Gene&#8217;s readers know, I write a daily blog for <span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">washingtonpost.com<\/span> (<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.washingtonpost.com\/celebritology\/\"><span style=\"font-weight:bold;\">www.washingtonpost.com\/celebritology<\/span><\/a>) which vies with our politics blog The Fix as the top blog on the site. I also do daily radio hits with Post radio about celebrity gossip and, this Thursday, will start my own weekly live discussion: Celebritology Live. When I&#8217;m not busy doing all of the above, though, I do in fact spend my time worshipping at a crude basement altar to Gene.
