I somehow get the feeling Nikki Finke didn’t much like the new Arianna Huffington-led celebrity blog that debuted today:
"She has now made an online ass of herself… she is finally played out publicly. This Web-site venture is the sort of failure that is simply unsurvivable, because of all the advance publicity touting its success as inevitable. Her blog is such a bomb that it’s the box-office equivalent of Gigli, Ishtar and Heaven’s Gate rolled into one."Yea, I know I never want to get on Nikki’s bad side...

I just object to her using the term blog for her celebrities' ramblings. There's no place to comment, and therefore, it's a one-sided dialogue, which is just a logue. Maybe a monologue, but certainly not a weblogue.
See my post here, if you haven't yet:

I'm out of the loop. But how the hell is she getting SO MANY PEOPLE to post on her blog? This thing has got to be costing an arm and a leg.

Especially on a political blog, not allowing comments implies that you're above criticism, which in turn suggest you couldn't take the heat if you had to actually defend your ideas.
