"Scalpers respond with a metaphysical question: Who is a true Miley Cyrus fan? Anyone who watches Hannah Montana? Someone who shrieks ecstatically at the mention of Cyrus’s name? Who swoons? Scalping provides a way to calibrate a fan’s passion by what she is willing to pay for a ticket. 'I love Miley $50 worth.' 'Well, I love her $100 worth.' "
Add in an "OMG" and this sounds like something I'd write for Seventeen.

Gossip Girl is Art, "Totally Meta" says The New York Times, Me
"Professing his deep admiration for the show’s revelatory narcotic effect, Mr. Phillips cited the overlap between issues he’s tackled on canvas and the many themes explored on “Gossip Girl,” such as 'lost virginity, teen pregnancy, divorce, rape, manslaughter, suspected homicide, teen suicide, gay sexual identity, eating disorders, criminal blackmail, theft, as well as drug addiction and sex with multiple partners.'"
-The New York Times
"Does life imitate Gossip Girl or does Gossip Girl imitate life? Now that's a philosophical conundrum for the ages! They've already got their three real-life cast couples making out on screen (Dan & Serena, Blair & Carter, Chuck & Vanessa) and all over NYC. And now there's another totally meta GG connection! Taylor Momsen, perhaps inspired by Little J's work designing dresses for Eleanor Waldorf, is designing clothes now too! "

Recent Insights From the New York Times
In their review of Twilight, that vegan vampire-babe filled saga I've been counting down to for Seventeen.com:
"Based on the foundational book in Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling multivolume series, “The Twilight Saga” (four doorstops and counting), this carefully faithful adaptation traces the sighs and whispers, the shy glances and furious glares of two unlikely teenage lovers who fall into each other’s pale, pale arms amid swirling hormones, raging instincts, high school dramas and oh-so-confusing feelings, like, OMG he’s SO HOT!! Does he like ME?? Will he KILL me??? I don’t CARE!!! :)"
The Sunday Times Magazine, on Miley Cyrus:
"In the video for '7 Things' she wears Nick’s diabetes dog tags while singing about how his vanity and insecurity undermined their relationship. The Brett Ratner video shows a variety of bummed teenage girls crying, screaming, punching teddy bears and freaking out. Miley is its charismatic center. When she flashes Nick’s dog tags and a picture of the two of them together, she seems so vindictive and so embarrassingly vulnerable, just like . . . a 15-year-old suffering her first serious heartbreak, basically. 'When you mean it I’ll believe it, if you text it I’ll delete it,' she sings, perfectly capturing our confusing age of technologically mediated courtship."
And this delicious bio of Obama's new chief of staff Rahm Emanuel:
He was born Nov. 29, 1959, in Chicago. He received a liberal arts degree from Sarah Lawrence College, and a masters from Northwestern. He served briefly as a civilian volunteer on an Israeli military base during the Persian Gulf war of 1991. In his youth, Mr. Emanuel badly cut a finger on a meat slicer while working at an Arby’s. The wound became infected, and he lost half of the middle finger on his right hand. The shortened digit is something of a trademark. As a young man, Mr. Emanuel trained as a ballet dancer. His brother, Ari Emanuel, a Hollywood agent, is the model for the abrasive agent Ari Gold in the HBO series “Entourage.”
