Sure, last night might've been the official start to Passover, but in media land, we're not the only ones who miss deadlines. Which is why only today are we getting around to polling various personalities from inside the bubble as to their holiday plans, whether they're more likely to suffer from mother's guilt (and celebrate Passover) or daddy's drinking (and celebrate Easter) — or, like us, both. Let's see who else will be dipping their herbs (in gin) twice.
Jeff Bercovici, Women's Wear Daily
I attended a seder in the west village last night. We had Maxwell House-sponsored haggadahs that seemed to have been translated from Hebrew into Yiddish, then into Russian, German, and finally English, by someone who spoke none of those languages. This morning I had pancakes and pork sausage for breakfast. Take that, Yahweh!
Joe Scarborough, MSNBC
Going to be hosting an Easter egg hunt for my little girl's friends at our home in Pensacola, FL. If it's anything like last year, all the adults will be enjoying adult conversation and beer while I am dressed up like a 6'4" Peter Cottontail, sweating my rabbits' feet off.
Sunday to church and lunch with the family.
Tray Butler, HX
Normally Easter is the weekend of my annual pajama party, which has become a notorious tradition among friends over the years. I’m actually putting the ‘jamas and jelly-bean shots on hold this year for the sake of a more wholesome holiday, heading South to hide Easter eggs for my four-year-old brother. (Yes, there’s a bit of an age gap. Long story.) I’ll also hopefully catch up with a few friends in the ATL, and those kids are crrrazy. I’ll be packing some PJs, just in case.
Jack Shafer, Slate
I worship no deity, including the newly improved Jesus Christ. That means I'm available to break bread wirth anybody who asks me to attend their celebration. I have no invitations in hand, so I'll probably grill something and drink beer on Sunday.
Choire Sicha, New York Observer
Well, I don't know the month of Nisan from a Nissan. I prefer to use any of these less-high Holy Days to sit idly at my desk, IMing with the goyim. After sundown, I'll be playing poker, chain-smoking, and eating pepperoni pizza. Please send someone around on Sunday to roll away the emotional stone that keeps me trapped in my house on weekends.
Jesse Oxfeld, Gawker
I will, as always, be heading to the American Jew's promised land: The New Jersey suburbs. I believe today's Pesach Express leaves Penn Station at 5:20. I should be back in the city by 11 (as I was last night, too), ready to commence Gawking again in the morning. In observance of the holiday, though, I do write while reclining.
After the jump: Post-It Keith Kelly, Times ad man Stuart Elliott, Gawker gal Jessica Coen, Huffington Post's Rachel Skarl, and the NYO's Gabe Sherman.

A few of you might need to grab some napkins from your office kitchen before reading the tales of a drunk fem-blogger pillow fight at the Byrant Park Hotel.
Seven of NYC's hottest bloggirls got together in their PJ's, all giggly and holding wine glasses, to dish about how pissed they are when editors have no idea who they are.
Puking at Schiller's, running for coffee in a trench coat, and having random people obsessed with you? Just another day in the life of an anorexic girl tied to her lap top.
Whether they blog for their 15 minutes, or just to expunge their neuroses to the world, Rachel Sklar, Jessica Cutler, Brooke Parkhurst, Melissa Lafsky, Mimi Foe, and Heather Hunter spill their blogguts to ring leader Nadine Haobsh.
It turns out to be a pretty fun article, and from what it seems, a happenin' little soiree. It's just so fabulous that these girls can afford to "eat" at Da Silvano, wear DVF, and drink K1 and Starbucks on their blogger/stripper/lawyer/daddy's credit card salaries.
Who knew there was more to a blogger's life than sweatpants and forties?

As Rachel Sklar jumps out of the Fishbowl for a taste of oxygen – and, inexplicably, Greg Lindsay finds himself with the want and the time to fill in – she's taken a detour from her usual tasteful gossip rounds for actual sit downs with some major media players. Frank Rich on showtunes? Love it.
But, by and far, our favorite in Rachel's series of send offs (well, of the two) is with Men's Health editor (and editor's letter photo punching bag) David Zinczenko, for who we hold a special place in our heart (we bought on on eBay) if only for his totally platonic friendship with Dan Abrams, who we're certain refer to each other as "brah." And given Rachel's willingness to slap David with the reality of his book being nearly as gay as Details means we're going to miss her that much more.
Of Nipple and Ripple: Eric Bana, shirts; Adrien Brody, skins. How do you decide which coverboys go topless? Will there ever be topless men on the cover of Best Life? If so, will you send it to me?
Some celebs feel that going shirtless is the right thing for them at that point in their careers–Adrien Brody, for example, was showing off how his hard work made him worthy of heading up an adventure flick [December 2005 issue for King Kong]. Bana [Jan/Feb 2006 for Munich] was in a solemn historical drama, so he didn't want to equate Munich with his abs. As for Best Life, I think [Editor] Steve Perrine and his team have created a very different aesthetic with a very different message, and sell-through is climbing rapidly. So, keep your shirt on.
At the MPA event, Jon Stewart asked: "Why is your magazine so gay?" Everyone howled, because, well, there are hot, shirtless guys on the cover often. Do you think of gay/straight appeal when you're considering content? Is that something you even think about? Since you bill Men's Health as a full lifstyle brand (trifecta: health/career/relationships) how do you address the gay/straight readership?
We're a magazine about health, nutrition, fitness, relationships, fashion, technology, career — last I heard, gay men and straight men were both interested in that kind of info. The reality is, straight or gay, American or European, white or black or Hispanic, men are just a lot more similar than they are different. We all have the same core concerns, dreams, fears, ambitions. As far as the covers are concerned, I dunno. Nobody ever calls Cosmo or Glamour or Shape a lesbian magazine, even though the women on the covers are often exposing a lot of skin. So come on: Why the double standard?
Ya know, Zinczenko's right. We don't call Shape or Self or their like lezzie mags even though they routinely feature fitness models in Lycra, offer sex tips that don't involve men, and use the word "lipstick" far too often for it not to mean "lipstick lesbian." So in honor of Rachel's departure and David's abs, we're gonna do it: Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Shape, Self, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Redbook, O, Jane, and Vanidades: You're all big dykes.
Whew. We feel much better.
