Beside Scott Lamb, we never thought we had much in common with Salon. Sure, we're big proponents of indie journalism and pretending our website isn't merely a makeshift blog, but hard news? Wire feeds? Paying attention to women's issues? That's just not us.

And then came Curtis Sittenfeld's "Divorce on the D-list," perhaps the most ink given to the breakup of D-lister Kathy Griffin and Z-lister Matt Moline. We, too, were My Life On The D-List religious viewers. We, too, cared as much about her plastic surgery as her punchlines. We, too, wondered how Matt lost so much weight without gastric bypass surgery. (Okay, Curtis didn't exactly care so much about that.)

But alas, the Prep author found the Internet – and the tabs – as devoid of divorce details as we did.

But there's scant information on the Internet to satisfy my concerned curiosity, and Us Weekly — who, for crying out loud, gave even Chad Michael Murray and Sophia Bush's breakup a mention on the cover, with an exclamation point — had only one clinical sentence about Griffin and Moline on their "The Record" page. When Aniston and Pitt ended their marriage, I analyzed the news with my sisters and friends, but no one I know seems aware of, let alone interested in discussing, Griffin and Moline.

And just when we thought we couldn't find solace anywhere, we clicked the "Letters" link. Among the tears:

• I too thought they had a great relationship. I was even more amazed to read an article that mirrored my feelings so closely. It's nice to know there are other people out there that feel as badly as I do for them.
• I was just stunned when I heard the news. It's obviously none of my business, but I felt invested in them and I want to know what's going on!
• I guess he couldn't handle her being the smarter, sharper, wittier, more talkative, more whorish one, in the couple. such is life.
• i also really want to ask the same questions the author asks about the failure of the marriage. did the reality show have something to do with the break up? was what we were seeing fake?

And now we actually feel bad that when we were backstage with Kathy just a few weeks ago, we didn't bother to ask these questions. Journalistic malpractice: 1, Jossip: 0.

Divorce on the D-list [Salon]

Now that she's officially made a career out of her D-list lifestyle, Kathy Griffin no longer has time for those not on any list — including her husband Matt Moline.

Comedian Kathy Griffin has filed for divorce after 4 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences, court documents show.

Griffin, 43, married Matt Moline in Los Angeles in February 2001. The couple have no children.

The divorce papers were filed Friday in Superior Court. Griffin asks that the couple's assets be divided and that Moline be denied spousal support.

So sad, especially after he worked so hard to lose all that weight. Now who's going to co-star with Kathy if Bravo resigns her show? Kimberly Stewart? Star Jones?

• David Pecker did more than pay off Arnold Schwarzenegger's mistress Gigi Goyette — he also tried to pay to keep a 1983 Playboy tape featuring the governator out of circulation. Two-thousand dollars later, the tape is still available online.

• Kathy Griffin claims that Star Jones Reynolds tried to put a "hit" on her. Namely, that Star tried lobbying E! to include a a contract clause saying the self-proclaimed “D” lister, her family and friends couldn't say anything derogatory about the former Bridezilla. Guess she'll be tossing all her Payless shoes, too.

• Michael Jackson is back doing what he does best: scaring kids (only this time he's hiding his entire body). Well, sort of, since parents and their offspring could see most of its tiny portions through the white Lycra suit he wore at Dubai's Wild Wadi park when he rented it out for families.

• Hurricane Kimora! At least that's what it felt like at the Fashion Rocks for Baby Phat event at Radio City Music Hall last Thursday. Ms. Simmons was screaming at staffers and throwing tantrums. And we wouldn't have her any other way.

• "Gay American" ex-Jersey governor Jim McGreevey is enjoying his newfound out of the closet freedom. He spent Sunday night dining at Maroons in Chelsea with – what else? – a muscle-bound Chelsea boy.

• So where was Prada-wearing devil Anna Wintour on Sunday night? Busted on national TV at the Roger Federer/Andre Agassi U.S. Open tennis finals. She was supposed to be at Diane Von Furstenberg’s Sunday show, where the lights literally coming down on the front row. No doubt her PETA detractors were as disappointed over her absence as DVF herself.

• If you take anything away from Fashion Week, let it be Damon Dash's smart observances: "People are really famous for being famous these days." Really?

• Fellow Elaine's patron Elaine Kaufman and Beatte Telle, the model at the center of this all, claim Roman Polanski did none of the thigh massaging Harper's editor Lewis Lapham claimed in a 2002 Vanity Fair article and again on the stand during the libel lawsuit.

• Walter Cronkite is boinking Carly Simon's sister Joanna. That's all we're going to say, because it makes us as ill as you are at this very moment.

• Melissa Gilbert is through with the Screen Actors Guild, actually admitting her decision not to seek a third term as president stemmed from internal fighting.

• New York mag continues exhibiting its personality disorder, finding the show critics hate (The Comeback) and defending it as a guilty pleasure.

• Upon learning even New York magazine staffers get denied from trendy nightspots, we don't feel so bad about the disastrous results trying to name drop Jossip at PM.

• When they're not taking over the radio waves with ubiquitous Top 40, Clear Channel is loading up on the Queer Channel, a new GLBT program debuting August 7. Which is sure to please their conservative investors.

• Jane Fonda gets up on her high war horse again, this time targetting the Iraqi war. You know, since her Vietnam efforts won't so well in the 70s.

• Whee, the teen fashion mags go back to school. This year's challenge: Making 15-year-old girls look more whorish.

• It doesn't take much, but somehow Kathy Griffin continually reminds us why she stays on the D-list.

• Lil Kim lies on the stand — and in her documentary.
