Then roll to just a couple of weeks ago when they mention me again with the title "Dip." You must love the classiness of this magazine already.
Now former reporter turned editor Ryan Lee continues his tirade about me in his latest blog postings.
When Will The Recession.... ...eliminate the industry of Public Relations?
Working with PR representatives can be more excruciating for a root canal. Their entire job, the entire point of their existence, is to drum up publicity for their clients. So if they aren't setting up interviews for their clients (as promised) and they aren't sending out pictures of their clients (as promised), then what in the are they doing? I've been working with a particular PR rep since last week and she couldn't be more unhelpful. When she finally did email me the promised photo, it took every ounce of restraint in my body to simply reply "Thank you" instead of letting her know what I really think of her "help."
Speaking of annoying PR flacks, yesterday I received an ANGRY call from fan favorite Jonathan Jaxson/Shelton/Whatever the Hell He's Calling Himself Today. He was super pissed about the inaugural edition of The Talk column, which cast a little sunshine on his overall shadiness. As is his style, he huffed and puffed about how great he is and how "frivolous" our report was, and he practically demanded an apology. Of course he received no such thing, and it took every ounce of restraint in my body to.... :)
Finally, I must say that within the PR profession, there truly are SOME professionals. Nothing can make this job easier than when a PR rep is on his or her , and so I can't post this rant without expressing my sincere appreciation for those classy folks. But way too many people who call them PR reps are simply Chatty Kathys who con people into thinking that they can actually help expand a client's brand.
The Shadiness Never Ends
Good morning boys! I hope everyone in Atlanta is starting to thaw out after yesterday's snow storm. It's funny because at different points throughout Saturday night, several of my friends said they were convinced there was no way it could snow Sunday, considering how warm it was. That alone made me sure that it was going to snow, and the city wound up receiving several hours of considerable flurries.
My boyfriend went away for the weekend and was unable to fly back last night due to the weather. It's just as well because he would've been off work today anyway, since he's a school teacher and for some reason school can't be in session the day after snow. It's always such torture to be watching Good Morning America and getting ready for work while seeing all of the school closings that so many children and teachers are celebrating.
I got a delicious e-mail this morning from Atlanta blogger Chris Vise regarding The Talented Mr. Jaxson/Shelton. I told you last week about how Jonathan Jaxson called me to bitch me out and demand a correction on the item we ran about him in The Talk. Well it turns out, Jonathan was right -- a correction is in order. That's because in our article, we reported that Jonathan was working as a publicist for Kim Zolciak from "The Real Housewives of Atlanta." Well it turns out that Jaxson is no longer employed by Zolicak -- continuing a history of brief and shady career opportunities for Jaxson -- but the "Real Housewives" diva is now suing Jaxson for allegedly sabotaging her website, and saying that she's so broke she couldn't even afford to use Blogger, which is free.
Since he'll probably be creating a new name, and a new PR firm in order to land a new hustle soon, we think Jaxson/Shelton should start calling himself Jonathan Disaster.
I despise this human being. Some would say bad publicity is good publicity, but I know how that part really works. This guy has an obsession with me and it won't stop. Who is this nearly bald gay freak of nature who claimed me meeting my father and coming out on TV was something that destroyed my family???
