Seipp on Nikki Finke

...who's an annoying lefty entertainment columnist for LA Weekly.

Seipp's column got pulled because she called Finke "crazy," which Finke deemed libelous.

Apparently she's kinda dumb:

Until fairly recently, Nikki was ignorant of even the basic blogospheric knowledge that the IP addresses of commenters are easily checked. What this means is that, for instance, if you post once on my blog under the name Nikki Finke, and then again as a lawyer threatening me with libel for disrespecting Nikki Finke (as she did last year, much to general amusement when I revealed that bit of Internet sock puppetry to my readers), it might be better to post the second comment from someone else's computer.

That's inconvenient, though, if you rarely leave the house. I haven't run into Nikki in years, probably because these days she looks like Jabba the Hut, if you can imagine Jabba after he's said to hell with the diets already. She doesn't allow herself to be photographed, so the only picture she's made available for publication is one from her debutante days more than three decades ago.

Correction: The pic posted at Seipp's is apparently a joke I didn't get. I'm told it was a pic of Divine, the transvestite from John Waters' films.

I KNEW There Was a Payoff To This Post: Nikki Finke-- not crazy in the least.

Thanks to Riehl World.
