Defamer takes the comments plunge

Joining the gossip-fray at Defamer is invitation only, to a point: "We’ll be sending out a first round of invitations to frequent tipsters, assistants, bloggers, loose-lipped craft servicepeople, etc etc this afternoon, so monitor your inbox. Soon, you may have the ability to express a heartfelt OMG in reaction to Lindsay Lohan’s latest flirtation with vehicular manslaughter." They have the paid staff to keep it up. Most of the first wave of commenters are anonymous, plus Richard Rushfield of LATimes.com.
