Cord Jefferson proposes: a moratorium on saying "fuck the haters." Because you probably are one. [Mollygood]
After weeks of blogging about it, our own Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson, off in Saudi Arabia, had his kidney removed and placed inside his dad. We'll let you know more when we do.
Still fuming in the stink of an iodine shower, an IV drip in my right hand making my typing difficult, I’m buzzing from a sleeping pill and thinking about what’s right to write when one will be waking up to a whole new life.
How about this:
I am not scared, because every last little thing was worth it.
Mollygood’s eternally optimistic editor, Cord Jefferson, has admitted that he “can’t imagine a bigger nightmare than being on a reality TV show,” which makes me want to sign him up for one behind his back. Just imagine the breakdowns, the rants, the binge drinking — it would be glorious.
Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson is now contributing to Stereohyped, the same day Rebecca Aronauer is no longer working with Jossip. (Word has it she's going to be contributing to another media blog.)
• That cute polar bear in Germany raised by scientists has turned into a psychopath. Resident misanthrope Cord Jefferson says, "This is so perfect. This says so much about humanity."
• As you might remember from yesterday, we love Hot Chip. And so do their PR people and they gave us their new track "Made in the Dark."
• Beauty has no race. At least it shouldn't.
• 3000 words on how and why Alycia Lane is crazy. Having to introduce yourself as "Alycia with a Y" would do that to anyone. CONTINUED »
Over the weekend, we sent Mollygood editor Cord Jefferson to Las Vegas for the opening of The Palazzo, the new hotel and casino from The Sands Corp., which also operates The Venetian. Cord pulled down levers, sheets, and a few stories to tell as part of his stay. And while he already shared some of his trip on our celebrity site, he sent this extra goodness in just for us.
On the final day of press happenings at the Palazzo Resort and Casino's opening weekend, reporters from around the country were invited to tour the Canyon Ranch SpaClub, the Palazzo's offshoot of the wellness brand made famous by intoxicated celebrities. I was tired and am largely uninterested in wellness, but I felt obligated to attend the tour because it was one of the few events I could make (and because earlier someone had sent the concierge to my room with an aromatherapy kit).
Our guide, a smallish woman, tremendously nice in the way that people employed by casinos are, waited patiently as journos – many of whom appeared to share my lack of interest in health – trickled into the facility, which requires its own floor of the hotel in order to contain its reported 134,000 square feet. I introduced myself to a woman standing next to me who was from Los Angeles and whose name I forgot; she appeared to lack interest in me. When the tour started, I moved away from her toward the rear of the group.
If you’ve ever woken up on a Saturday morning and thought, “thinking isn’t for me today” and spent the day watching MTV, you know that Stephen and Lauren of Laguna Beach hooking up again is a big deal.
We’ve had that experience; our colleague Cord of Mollygood has not. And yet he has used all our witty rejoinders about the recent re-pairing on his website. Our resolution for 2008 is to get our revenge.

Cord Jefferson may think a certain Jossip editor is a jerk. And that certain Jossip editor may be writing in third person at this very moment to adhere to the constraints of Jossip style.
And still, we must take a moment to acknowledge Cord's lament on the suburbs. Namely, that the suburbs suck. And they do. We grew up there.
Usually, Cord's misanthropy is directed at washed up celebrities, which is funny and all, but making fun of Victoria Beckham is like shooting fishing in a barrel. Making fun of the suburbs, however, is like shooting fish at close range.
Let’s be honest. Britney Spears is over. And Jossip’s own Cord Jefferson of Mollygood has had enough. In today's perfunctory post on Britney, Cord has this to say:
Blah blah, blah. Blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah? Blah blah blah those boots blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And her kids, blah blah blah – BLAH – blah blah blah blah. Blah blah.
Because when we’re honest with ourselves, do we really care about the latest minutia about our national train wreck? No. We just want to see pictures of Britney looking like shit to feel better about our own meaningless lives.
Blahs blahs are enough as long as the photos are high quality, which they are after the jump.

• What's more depressing: that people want to keep their hunting gun by their bed or that some couples can't share and are ordering two of these shot gun racks?
• We didn't mean to mock Rebecca Romijn twice in one day, but she looks so much like a certain drag queen we couldn't resist.
Sometimes I just have to say, “what the fuck?” and the royal we doesn’t work as well. These are my thoughts—raronauer
Cord Jefferson over at Mollygood thinks I am a jerk for not paying for the new Radiohead album.
This from a man who once said Victoria Beckham’s forehead looked like an everything bagel.
I might be a jerk, but at least I'm not an idiot. Check out Cord's justification for dropping ten bucks on a free album.
Ever wondered what happens when you take a straight Mollygood editor, ply him with booze and stick him in a room full of make-up toting drag queens? Well, here's your chance to find out. While listening to crappy 80's dance music. [Queerty]
