Pink is the New Blog is a total ripoff of Stereogum. Scott's been posting Britney photos with (much funnier) fake dialogue for years. PREACH

Why reinvent the wheel... Who did it first? Who cares? It's more about who is funnier!

As for Ashlee getting Punk'd... They told her that the latest gallop poll indicates that 87% of 100,000 Americans polled said that they're over the lip-sync thing and respect her as an artist... Then, Koochter pops out and said "You done got Punk'd... We're just kidding! American still hates you!". It was a bit harsh...

For the curious, here's how Ash got punk'd.

She was at an art exhibit and they fooled her into thinking she had placed a jacket adjacent to a burning candle, starting a fire which in turn set off the sprinklers and ruined the paintings. Or something like that. They're running out of ideas obviously.

no disrespect, but pink is the new blog is a really great site that totally stands on its own message. where britney and the rest of the pop catastrophe is played out guilty pleasure stylee on stereogum et al, the minds behind pink live for that stuff, totally guilt-free. which of course makes them AWESOME!
go pink!

"Pink Is the New Blog", is nothing new. Trent, the guy who runs the site, is blogging stuff that many other sites have blogged before he ever gets around to it. Most of the time, within a few hours, but I've seen things he's posted that are days old. And he doesn't always give credit where credit is due. I stopped reading his site after a few days when I realized he's just regurgitating stories with a "pink" twist.

I have been reading Stereogum for at least a year now. Scott's a lot more interesting and has much wittier things to say... Most of the people who post about celebrity gossip give credit to one another, but Jake is right, "PITNB" doesn't. And I have never seen one blog wage war on another- it is just ridiculous to come in to one website and say it's not as good as another (especially when the one you're representing is something of a newer, less credible blog).

apples and pomegrantes, people. first schmirst - trent is effing funny. and let's remember this all started when someone called his site out as 'a total sterogum riffoff,' which is so far from the truth. i mean, is thesuperficial a stereogum ripoff? the consistently brilliant goldenfiddle? wait - i forgot. this is hipster town, and those guys prolly aren't on the pre-approved list. why can't be all just roll rodney king style? sheesh. it's called 'peacefully coexist.'

hey, let's get on topic here people, there's more important things to talk about, like ashley getting punk'd.

as a side note, I've always thought it was funny that ashton kutcher, who is quite popular with the gay men, is on a show called punk'd, the prison word for, uh, "hi, how're you doin?"

i'm definitely not a fan of any of the simpsons, but seriously i wish people would stop lynching her over the SNL snafu. TONS of people do it. britney, janet, j.lo etc. and even rockers do it constantly- or at least use backing tracks to make it sound better. all american bandstand did was promote lip synchers, as other variety programs sure as hell do, even nickelodeon's all that. (lol i caught it this wknd when i was babysitting haha and ashanti was lipsynching HORRIBLY!)

I think Ashlee was lip synching her bawling. It was faker than Lindsey's tan.

Now what would have been great is if they punk'd her in this way, they had someone like some respectable rock writer in on the punk telling Ashlee that she is one of the most original artists out there and that she is becoming a serious punk icon and influence and she is the Chrissy Hynde of Generation Y. Then Ashton would come out and yell "YOU'VE JUST GOT PUNK'D"!

Maybe, Pink is the New Blog did rip off Sterogum (at first), but Steregum ripped off Ultragrrrl, with the neverending (seriously) stories of shitty indie bands. So I would say that Trent is doing everyone a favor who would rather see pictures of Ashlee's ugly face, Britneys big juicy titties, and Lohans shrinking waste, over shithole music from shithole bands.

Lots of bands lip sync for TV. At least Micky Dolenz learned to play the drums. He's got skillz!

Hey guys, some of you say, Ashlee sucks and so on. It´s okay when you dom´t like her music but I do and I like Ash as a person. I don´t like Eminem but I don´t go on Em fanpages and say he sucks he´s an asshole, this is really kindergarten. Just let Ashlee live and do her music you needn´t listen to her. But shut up !
