One highlight of the week was Sam Marlowe's interview of top model Carissa Ainsley, who also happens to be Dirk's ex. The hard-hitting piece was edited into fluff, mostly devoted to Carissa's cats and their lavish gem-encrusted collars.

   SamMarlowe http://twitpic.com/7id5t - My interview with The Model goes live tomorrow. Here I am interviewing her. Can you see the disdain in my eyes? 16 Jun 2009 from TwitPic
2. 
   SamMarlowe Ugh! I hate editors! Annoying model Carissa Ainsley was bad enough. Now they add horrid adjectives to my copy! http://tweetmystery.ning.com/ 16 Jun 2009 from web
3. 
   SamMarlowe For the record, I refuse to type "exquisite" "dazzling" or "delicate cough" in any sentence. I need six aspirins and some Alka Seltzer... 16 Jun 2009 from web
4. 
   CarissaAinsley Oh, oh, did you see the article on me! I thought the picture of me was good. And that reporter, Sam something, loved my Bengal babies... 16 Jun 2009 from web
5. 
   CarissaAinsley Oh, no! I just read farther. Not only did Sam, reporter lady, call Nubia a "she", poor boy, but she had to mention their jeweled collars. 16 Jun 2009 from web
6. 
   coffee_boy @SamMarlowe Saw your story today. I'm a big admirer. Of your writing too. Like Emily Dickenson. http://twitpic.com/7jpsw 16 Jun 2009 from twhirl

   SamMarlowe Sold my soul to Glamour for $3 a word. My expose about a superficial wannabe is now a rave about cat collars and manicures. I need a drink. 16 Jun 2009 from web
8. 
   dirkrockwell Have you peeps read the new article about Carissa Ainsley? Yes, she really is that vapid in person! 16 Jun 2009 from TwitterFox
9. 
   dirkrockwell Fun game: Read that article about my "glamorous" ex-wife and take a drink for every time it calls her "glamorous." Buzzed by paragraph 3... 16 Jun 2009 from TwitterFox
10. 
    AlexBerkley Call from Dorkboy whining about story on his ex. Want's equal coverage. Dude, like I care. This is gonna be SO much harder than I thought... 16 Jun 2009 from web

Word is her next story will be on Dirk, and she's out for blood.

Artist Lilli LeMue debuted her latest works this week at a lavish gallery opening. Also in attendance was that femme fatale reporter, Sam Marlowe, who turns out to be an old friend of Lilli's from way back. Lilli's ex boyfriend, Alex Berkley (Dirk's agent), was unable to attend because he had to stay home and tend to his ill wife (Dirk's Cousin Riva).

Reviews were...mixed. But the big scoop was that Dirk and Lilli have been officially "outed" as Hollyweird's hottest new couple.

3. 
   lillilemue I always say that art is created to elicit a reaction. And mine did! 17 Jun 2009 from web
4. 
   lillilemue The work reflected a noble, ancient and time-honored tradition in expressive technique. Egyptian aristocracy would have swooned! 17 Jun 2009 from web
5. 
   lillilemue For the record: I think calling the Health Inspector was a complete overreaction. 17 Jun 2009 from web
6. 
   AlexBerkley @lillilemue Critics. What do they know?! Don't let their desiccated notion of art get you down. True talent will win out. 17 Jun 2009 from web
7. 
   lillilemue @AlexBerkley Thanks for the smiles, Alex. You could always make me smile! 17 Jun 2009 from web in reply to AlexBerkley
8. 
   dirkrockwell @lillilemue Sorry the critics couldn't understand the genius of teflon-coated canopic jars. They didn't "get" my last movie, either. 17 Jun 2009 from TwitterFox in reply to lillilemue

But of course, Dirk Rockwell isn't the only celebrity on Twitter. Meet Phoenix MacAllister, an up-and-comer in Hollyweird. Dirk and Phoenix don't really get along.

3. 
   AlexBerkley WTF? "My people"? So much for personal account. Guess if I want to rant I should rent a storage unit in the middle of the Mojave 4 privacy. 17 Jun 2009 from web
4. 
   AlexBerkley Although from an agent's standpoint - Phoenix MacAllistir/Dirk Rockwell...1 is fresh meat the other, roadkill. (remind self must delete this 17 Jun 2009 from web

6. 
   PhoenixMac @SamMarlowe you did that article on Carissa, right? Loved it--she's a doll. (you could profile ME for the GQ piece instead of Dirk. *wink*) 17 Jun 2009 from web
7. 
   CarissaAinsley A girlfriend just told me Phoenix MacAllister thinks I'm a doll! Dirk hates him, which is a recommendation to my mind... May have to meet! 17 Jun 2009 from web
