Now where am I going to get my Hollywood insider scoop without feeling dirty afterward?

Defamer is getting "folded" into the bigger Gawker media network, and will be a mere shell of its former self.  All of its current editors are leaving and I've noticed a tone shift already. (Blind items?  Really?)

Mind you, I am not above indulging in salacious gossip.  I'm just picky about where I get it from.  Defamer was not only one of the best written, most well-informed gossip sites, but they also had some Hollywood street cred.  And the commenters are amazing.

It looks like that is all going to go away now.  Damn.
