YouTube Divorce Lady Tricia Walsh-Smith mulling Real Housewifehood?

Tricia The New York Daily News is quoting an unnamed inside source saying that YouTube's most infamous /only divorce-video-making housewife may end up on "Real Housewives of New York," the Bravo reality show that makes a gang of fearless cameramen climb to the "upper echelon of society, where money and status are an essential way of life."  I like the idea that money could be a way of life. What would that mean?  Do they need any errand boys? I'll gladly rifle through Trish's husband's drawers and edit her next YouTube video--or wait, does the possible turn on RHoNY mean she's moved beyond YouTube? Oh Trish, don't forget us little people!

Arrington vs. Cashmore: Tech titans clash in Hollywood

Last night at the Vanguard night club in Hollywood, there was yet another sign that the Silicon Valley tech scene is taking on Tinsel Town attributes (read: ego, expensive 2,000-person parties DJ'd by Perry Farrell, internecine territory squabbles and--crucially--more and more celebs caught on video).

Blog czar Michael Arrington (above) of the popular technology blog TechCrunch was accused by detractors of ejecting unwanted company from his exclusive Hollywood Boulevard shindig (co-thrown by PopSugar). The outcasts were, specifically, Mashable.com's Pete Cashmore, a young pretender to the tech blogging throne, and the crew from Valleywag, the tech scene's online tabloid.

Facebook party: fun for the ladies

Facebook's party last night at the chichi Austin hot spot Pangaea was the swingingest SXSW party I've been to. I'm guessing it was better than Google's, at least according to the dispatch from L.A. Times blog czar Tony Pierce, who didn't give it the thumbs up

Even though there was no sign of famous, and now slightly more infamous, FB founder Mark Zuckerberg, there were plenty of interesting folks there, an endless fountain of Red Bull-based drinks, and some pretty great bass-booming music supplied by DJ BT and company.

I was certainly grooving to it.  And I wasn't the only one:

Dudes

Honestly, I did not cherry-pick this photo -- pan left or right and you'd see the same. Semi-surprised at the dancing crowd's demography, I looked around to see if there were any females who might help me figure out what was up with the dude-o-rama.
