That Eater guy is one of Jackles's many exes. He's the one who insisted she never blog/Tweet/lip dub/Vimeo a single word about him. Word has it that after a couple of months dating, she couldn't stand being unable to gloat about him, so, weasel that she is, she started up with this nonsense -- real subtle, Jackles -- and then started blog-braying about birth control methods. Tipsters insist she also leaked news of their relationship to that website she claims repeatedly has "ruined her life." Apparently this man, clearly no dummy, immediately saw the crazy and what do you know? Dumped again!
Every few weeks Jackles Tweets something painfully pathetic his way. Today she pleaded with him to recommend a restaurant because, you know, New York City suffers such a dearth of decent places to eat. And he replied in a deliciously nasty way. Click here to get its full, delicious effect. Well played, Eater guy.
Ha!.com
ReplyDeleteThat was such a cry for attention on her part. She reached out, on Twitter. So very public. Doesn't she work for Time Out? I believe they have a freaking restaurant section. Barring that, Google, Citysearch, Zagat, etc. might have assisted her in this endeavor. I really don't like it when competent women feign helplessness in order to get attention from someone. DIY!!
ReplyDeleteAnd as for his response, "Oh no he didn't."
Should we start the countdown to the I. AM. SO. FREAKING. HAPPY. post?
ReplyDeleteOHHHHHHHHH SNAP!
ReplyDeleteEater is my new hero.
Toupee, Eater guy, toupee (as the Queen of her thrown would put it).
ReplyDeleteSomewhere in Aspen, Rambo is grinning.
ReplyDeletePointy is probably smiling too. Hell, she is always smiling.
ReplyDeleteBefore we start deifying this dude, let's remember that he did date (and screw) her. At the minimum, he has some seriously bad taste.
ReplyDeleteJulia doesn't drink [all those pictures are just pictures] and Julia doesn't have sex.
ReplyDeleteShe says so.
HA!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is so f-ing awesome.
Julia got full on Pwnd.
she is such an ass.
TEAM LEVENTHAL.
The comments in that Gawker piece are interesting. Sheila pretty much comes right out and says JA tipped off Gawker.
ReplyDeleteThis must have been what prompted JA to e-mail Sheila: "Could you be any more of a bitch?" Which Sheila dutifully posted. Oh Sheila!
And allow me to just chime in here and reiterate how weird their dinners out together must have been, since Julia eats no meat, doesn't drink wine (except that occasional glass or two she is always telling us about), and thinks of sugar as the most important food group.
ReplyDeleteOh, to have been the fly on those restaurant walls.
I don't know if that was a smart move on Ben Leventhal's part. Isn't he implying he's a sugar daddy then, if he dated her? Or is he clueless about the fact that their relationship is now common knowledge? Eh, I still think it's a dick move on his part. If Julia didn't have the ability to get under his skin, then he'd just ignore her.
ReplyDeleteCould be an implication to many things we do not know about. Dan Loeb? Dr. Metzl? Or just what he figured out she really wanted.
ReplyDeleteWhile I am not at the altar, I don't see it so much as a dick move, she is brillant at getting under everybody's skin. Hard to ignore as well.
@ anon 9:44,
ReplyDeletebut he HAS repeatedly been ignoring her. she twitters to him constantly in a very obnoxious "OMG!!! look at me!!!" way. it's very pathetic and desperate.
i think this finally required a reply.
If you actually Google Sugar Daddy restaurants in NYC, there is a bar in the Four Seasons of that name. Interestingly, it is a "women in tight, cleavage-baring designer clothes prance around, looking to pounce on thick, watch-wearing suits," a sleazy pick up joint, according to NYMag.
ReplyDeletehttp://nymag.com/nymetro/bony/nightlife/2005/11373/
although that review was from several years ago and I think it is no longer called "Sugar Daddy"
ReplyDeleteI love Twitter's advanced search. Jackles has sent Ben FIVE twits in a month's time. This brilliant message today is his first reply.
ReplyDeleteShe started twit-stalking him on his birthday:
Happy Birthday, old man. Let 30 be the year you finally get a date.
Jackles was using the "neg." Didn't know she was a Mystery fan.
ReplyDeletewhy does the Eater Guys' reply eventually direct you to the Buenos Aires Restaurant site...is it really a burn, then?
ReplyDeleteOMG, that crap she posted about the sleepovers at his place (33 at his, 3 at hers). Her chief complaints were the money ($15 cab ride) and time (45 minutes on subway to save money). Yeah, I wouldn't like spending hundreds of dollars of my worker bee salary, or riding the subway for hours, just for the privilege of "dating" somebody who didn't want anyone to know we were dating, either.
ReplyDeleteIf Ben was having her come over, service him, and find her own transportation back to her place, that speaks volumes on how he really felt about her. I think she felt it, too, and that's why she started being indiscreet on her blog. Better to have that as the reason for the inevitable breakup, instead of having to admit that he just didn't give a shit.
Anon 10:14, I'm sure the joke wasn't meant to go any further than the animated typing into the Google search box.
ReplyDeleteSurely less than 24 hours till the "i'm just so very very happy AND grateful AND blessed and lucky yes lucky to be surrounded by my special special scrunchy sisters/ handmaidens/bunnies" post or maybe a VERY SPECIAL lipdub!
ReplyDeleteI am 34 wks pregnant and i am finding this mildly diverting. But i wish she would mix it up a bit . That is all.
@ anon 10:17...
ReplyDeleteharsh, but true!

he sounds like a total jerk, but that's about what she deserves.
She knows the exact number of times they slept together. Somewhere is a very pink and super secret Jackles offline diary.
ReplyDeleteNotice she makes a point of making clear they only slept together, not necessarily had sex. It appears she really is a mocktweeze.
ReplyDeleteHah, like all that drinking she doesn't do.
ReplyDeleteI really love that Facebook notes link for Jackles' ramblings, because I don't want to give her non-sitey a single hit. I admit, did visit there during Fashion Week to see the Barbie insanity. However, I swear, there are a half-dozen more NEW pictures that have magically appeared in between the pictures of her Fashion Week coverage that I already saw. Am I that non-observant, crazy, or what?
ReplyDeletemetzl?
ReplyDeletei've been out of town, dudes. can anyone explain?
# Oh man. I cannot believe I hauled my tired ass out of bed at 1:45 am for a text "to go just talk." I AM INSANE. And I really will JUST talk. 10:47 PM Dec 13th, 2008 from txt
ReplyDelete# HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH Oops. 8:12 AM Dec 14th, 2008 from web
Very discreet...
jab's reply: @benleventhal I hate you. EMOTICON EMOTICON EMOTICON, suck it!
ReplyDeleteThe above is no joke. Just in case she deletes it, that really is Jabby's twittered reply to leventhal.
ReplyDeleteAnd just below that, she is all "God, life doesn't get any better than this."
Boingboingboing.
And below THAT, she is all yay wow. oh. wow. etc etc adinfinitum, apparently trying madly to signal to the world at large (and ungrateful exes in particular) that she had a really swell date tonight. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteumm, she just posted a pic of herself smiling with an "I'M SO HAPPY YOU GUYS" caption.
ReplyDeleteIt is TERRIFYING how well you all called it. Does she CARE that her INSANITY is so transparent? Does she KNOW to care? I know we are encouraged to ignore the mental illness of JAB, but this is just creepy.
she just blogged about how HAPPY SHE IS now! congrats to all who called it.
ReplyDeletehaha jinx, anon
ReplyDelete...I think she made sexytimes with Dr. Metzl tonight. Or least that's what she's implying with the newly posted song about "making one lose control, etc. etc."
ReplyDeleteJulia got laid. Ben Leventhal doesn't give a crap. Julia is pouty.
ReplyDeleteand now some bla bla will happen in SF which will make her all sad faced about something...(maybe kevin rose will be mean to her?) cue manic content from the past -old photos/made up journal entries....aaaaand scene. Lifes rich rich tapestry continues.
ReplyDeleteaccording to her twitter, she is at home, presumably alone, wearing an aqua blue tutu and drinking champagne (thought she didn't drink?). WHO DOES THAT?!
ReplyDelete@Jessica you have it wrong: she is wearing ONLY an aqua blue tutu.
ReplyDeleteMental image just made me gouge my mental eyes out.
Honnestly, I actually think she posted that because she is in on the joke. The girl with the Mary site posted that IP readings showed Julia has viewed her page like 300+ times, so it's pretty obvious she would be a regular on here, as this has way more content/comments. She is home alone and is an online junkie. I actually think she read what everyone wrote, and posted it, hence the "HAHAHA" at the bottom.
ReplyDelete@anonymous
ReplyDeleteughhhh i must have missed that part. as jab would say, "wow. just, wow. um, wow."
Oh, it is just Our Lady of the Pink Lightbulbs, trying to drive the boys (that is to say, the exes) crazy at the thought of her sitting around in ONLY a blue tutu after having had a glass of champagne with whoever the hell her date was.
ReplyDeleteIs there, at long last, nothing that is not for effect?
That's a rhetorical question, obvs.
Plus if she jerks with this site as well, it's a two-fer. That would actually be clever, for a change.
ReplyDeleteShe does read here, and she does post things with an awareness of what we've said. So...where is your limp bouquet of roses, Jackles? We've been begging for a second pic of them ever since Valentime's.
ReplyDeleteHmm...so now she's posting her crap-tent for us Mean Girls? What about all her little bunnykins, lamby pies and ducklings? What will the impressionable tweensters in her precious target audience think about all this? Oh, the puzzlement all five of them must be feeling. Gosh.com
ReplyDeleteLooks like she was able to get a table at Dorsia.
ReplyDeleteOooh, American Psycho shout out. I like. Imagine what fun he would have had with little Jules.
ReplyDeleteFluffy, wow, she was in bed, yet answered a 1:45 am TEXT message booty call, oops, I mean coffee date? If there was ever a time you could ignore a text message, it's at 1:45 am. Or you could just talk on the phone... Yeppers, she said it herself, she's INSANE.
ReplyDeleteanon 9:39
ReplyDeleteWhich Gawker piece?
The one linked to in the post.
ReplyDeleteSince when is Jabby in bed at 1:45 AM? Har!
ReplyDeleteJABA/Leventhal follow each other on twitter. Yet JABA has dropped following her business partner Rambo. ???
ReplyDeleteNow Mary is following JABA the Nut, but it doesn't appear that JABA is following Rambo.
ReplyDeleteMore interesting: Meghan is following Julia on Twitter, but not Mary.
ReplyDeleteApparently Julia thinks saying that she's "lifecasting" on a plane is the same thing as actually blogging content about a topic from a plane. Just yesterday she only posted a pic of her dog and stuffed animal all day, so exactly why does she need to lifecast from a plane? Let's be real, she's using the Virgin wifi to read this blog, not to lifecast.
ReplyDeleteWhen one has no life to cast, the life cast is rather boring, no? Only tragically boring people like Miss Julia Baugher get excited about dates, movies and reading books. NORMAL people engage in these activities every single day and don't feel the need to broadcast it to the world. And when people do broadcast their every movement, their life is quickly reduced to boring tripe. Fictional lives are fun and exciting 24/7 because they are FICTION. Julia wants to live in a fantasy world of fabulous but she just ends up looking pathetically pedestrian.
ReplyDeleteActually I get excited about dates, books, movies and a lot more. Where is the joy in life if we don't get excited about the daily pleasures?
