12:14p - Entertainment Weekly wank!
This showed up on Defamer (part 1 and part 2) the other day, and I'm surprised no one posted it yet.
In short, the manager of actor Ken Wahl (Who?) goes off on EW writer Dalton Ross on a blog that snarks on EW. Hilarity ensues.
The manager sents a letter to EW Review:
My comment to DALTON ROSS is that he is an IRRESPONSIBLE REPORTER for writing an extremely libelous account of his interview with Ken Wahl. He pestered publicists that were hired to promote the "Wiseguy" DVD for an in-depth personal interview of actor, Ken Wahl claiming he was a "fan".
DALTON ROSS, in the midst of pounding several drinks in a very short interview seemed hell-bent on making Ken Wahl look bad and showed he obviously had an axe to grind with Ken Wahl. His article was basically taken from 10-12 year old, mostly false internet gossip. He literally repeated this crap word for word. DALTON ROSS in my opinion is no better than your everyday sleazy tabloid reporter. He falsely accused Ken of having "layers of extra weight", which is an outright lie. I would imagine that DALTON, in his scrawny little frame, felt inferior to Ken's Manly physique. He seemed to focus on what Ken ordered to drink, embellishing on YEARS of false statements that Ken is an alcoholic, yet failed to say, he himself was pounding beers like there was no tomorrow. He had made a false statement that Stephen J. Cannell, creator of "Wiseguy", fired Ken from "Wiseguy" and then contradicts himself by quoting Stephen J. Cannell and Ken Wahl that it was a "mutual decision" (which this latter of the two is the real truth). DALTON ROSS failed to do a little bit of research to find out that Ken is NOT an alcoholic, he IS NOT IN HIDING, as he is often out in public. I suggest "Entertainment Weekly" fire this guy. What's wrong DALTON? Did your wife call you Ken one night in midst of passion, (however, it's obvious you don't have any passion) after just watching the "Wiseguy" DVD?

Dalton (or a reasonable fascimille) replies in the comments with this:
Ken Wahl is a fat drunk and he can take me to court if he wants. I stand by my story, as well as my excellent "More like Lindsay Lo-hot!" joke in last week's 'list.
And this, which I'm sure has to break a ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/community.gif) jurisimprudence law or two:
You people are really starting to frighten me! Look....I work at a big magazine, and you don't. End of story.
Okay!

5:14p - I can't believe no one has posted this
Especially given some of the threats thrown around by various wankers.
Some is finally, actually, SUING THE INTERNET for people on it calling him names.
Legal note: This is in no way a defamatory remark about the man involved and if he tries to sue me for calling him a whiny bitch he's going to be a very disappointed man as my worldly wealth amounts to 57p
