Trust me when I say that I know gay bloggers can be bitches. (OK, I guess it's possible that box of shit I got in the mail was from someone else.) But they've got nothing on these Hollywood blogger-chicks with real vaginas.

As The New York Observer reports, the Internet has turned the Tinseltown press corps into the Wild Wild West, and Nikki Finke (Deadline Hollywood Daily) and Sharon Waxman (The Wrap) are starting to make Hedda and Louella look like Laverne and Shirley:

“People around Hollywood are terrified of (Nikki),” said Waxman. “I’m surprised how terrified people of her. A journalist only has so much power as you give them.” To which Finke responded: “I can’t believe that she’s saying that with a straight face. Her site is getting no traffic and is inaccurate and boring. And no one in Hollywood is talking about it. She must be desperate.”

Several posts on The Wrap -- down to analyzing how much Deadline Holllywood could sell for and another where a contributor calls Finke “emblematic of a true danger that now exists in journalism: the unchecked reporter”-- have come after her.

Finke, characteristically, returned the fire.

“When I started my Web site, Sharon would say to me, ‘I hate your Web site,’” said Finke. “She said, ‘You take all your time and everyone is talking about you and I hate it.’ And I said ‘Sharon, if you’re my friend, aren’t you pleased? If you had something going for you, I would be pleased for you.’ Then she said ‘No, I hate it, I hate it.’ Then she lied to me about what she was doing! She said she was going to start a blog about politics. Totally lied to me! I had to hear from everyone else that she was going around to people and saying she was going to compete with me. What friend does that to another friend!”

Waxman called that account “inaccurate,” and added: "Nikki has her own view of reality which does not always accord to reality as others see it. The way she twists things and the way she always manages to bend the facts -- and I put facts in quotes -- is in a way that suits her.”

Maybe so, Sharon. But something tells me she misses the days when all she just had to deal with were death threats and dead fish left on her windshield ...
