Is Rolling Stone preparing on launching a “Perez Hilton-esque” music blog–with “look at me and all the famous people I drink with” correspondent Austin Scaggs as figurehead, and six unpaid interns who will reportedly “have to work 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday” doing the actual legwork–within the next month or so? And what on earth might “Perez Hilton-esque” mean in the context of RS, anyway? Will Scaggs be photographed on red carpets wearing shower caps and ill-fitting hoodies? Is minimal competence at MS Paint required of the interns? The mind reels. [Gawker]

As long as that hack follows in Perez’s footsteps by bareley getting laid for a year, this whole thing is fine by me. Also, please tell me the blog will incorporate Mp3s from upper-middle-tier “indie” artists (maybe encoded at like 96k?) under a title like “The Breaking Edge” so that I don’t spend the rest of the day feeling like I live in an unjust universe that rewards mediocrity.
@cosmiclove: Am I a sucker for admitting I really dig Lowdown?
@Captain Wrong: No. I kinda like it, too.
@Captain Wrong: Where is he performing? I can’t remember the name? Last time I was there was to see Blur.
Oooh, Perez Hilton for the grandma set. Sign me right up for that.
@Captain Wrong: I’m all over that, boo. Me, you and his dad.
