The Forbes Web Celeb list is out (earlier than last time) and I’m not on it — phew! The pressure is finally off. I was really worried about what Leo LaPorte’s friends thought of me. Just kidding, but I really was sick of the paparazzi, the constant autographs, the E! biopics, Kid Rock asking me to get breast implants and marry him like every goddamned five minutes and the groupie sex was just wearing me out. Who knew you could get callouses from a strap-on? Anyway, I’ve been replaced by Kathy Sierra or something: Shiny Shiny remarks that I was “kicked off the list” and that they are not amused about it. For reals. Kicked off — yeah! Don’t let the LonelyGirl15 hit you in the ass on the way out, loudmouthed sex blogger! Additionally, DollyMix officially calls bullshit on the way it all came down.
Hey, competition for those four spots reserved for women is fierce. Actually, I got more than one nice email from Forbes staff and the editor saying they were sad to see me off, (prolly just being nice, aww) and hope to see me on it next year. It’s been a purposefully quiet year for me press-wise, so I’m not terribly surprised. But here’s a thought: Sarah Meyers has her own reaction to the Forbes Web Celeb list and formula, adding something Forbes doesn’t include: powerful branding and influence. It’s an interesting list. And there are more women on it. Hello.
