Lindsay Lohan’s New Fashion Line Handily Equipped With Kneepads For Fellow BJ Queens!
5:05AM Molly Friedman | As with any story involving Lindsay Lohan, we have good and bad news to report. We noted back in March that the queen of all things Lesbian Chic would finally follow in every other bored starlet’s wobbly footsteps and design a clothing line. And, being the non-traditionalist that she is, Lohan intended on sticking to leggings. Which made sense, considering the practical usage of leggings when taking a walk of shame, in need of a secure and moisture-proof hiding place for substances, and stretching out one’s legs while passed out in SUVs. And leave it to Lindsay to turn the otherwise boring piece of clothing into a racy collection of pieces custom-made for any girl looking for a comfy place to rest her knees mid-blow job. Not to mention a surefire way to slip on a pair of “ankle gloves” and alert every male within 30 miles just how eager you are to spread said ankles:
Defamer Interviews Harmony Korine: Bringing Michael Jackson and Skydiving Nuns Together at Last
6:15AM Defamer Hollywood | It was a rough spring at the movies for compulsive watch-checkers like us, but we took consolation in knowing that a honest-to-God hero would be arriving come early May. What? No, not that wuss Iron Man, but rather Harmony Korine, whose new Mister Lonely marks the filmmaker’s first writing-directing effort in nearly 10 years. And what a decade: Adrift in Paris, anchored in Nashville, survivor of two house fires, briefly reteaming with his Kids director Larry Clark on the teenagers-fucking milestone Ken Park, and ultimately conjuring Mister Lonely from a vision of nuns plunging from airplanes and the garish subculture of celebrity impersonators.

Defamer Visits The Dark Underbelly Of The Marilyn Monroe Collectibles Circuit
9:30AM Mark Graham | So! Remember the Marilyn Monroe article we published on Tuesday, which poked some holes in Keya Morgan’s (pictured, left) claims that he brokered the sale of an alleged sex tape to a wealthy (and still anonymous) businessman in New York for $1.5 million? Well, it turns out that Keya Morgan’s attorneys were none too pleased about our piece. What follows is a back-and-forth between Keya Morgan’s lawyer and Defamer’s incomparable house counsel, Gaby Darbyshire. While we’re not very interested in getting involved in squabbles between Keya Morgan and Mark Bellinghaus (apparently, there is some seriously bad blood between these two Marilyn Monroe fans), we do stand by the story that we printed on Tuesday night. For those that are interested in reading the chain of emails, they are printed in full after the jump.
Exclusive: Debunking The Marilyn Monroe ‘Sex Tape’ Hoax
11:00AM Mark Graham | Yesterday, news broke that an ancient sex tape allegedly showing Marilyn Monroe giving a blowjoy to an unidentified male had not only surfaced, but had also been sold to an anonymous New York collector for $1.5 million. The NY Post’s Hasani Gittens broke the story after interviewing Keya Morgan, a memorabilia collector who claims to have brokered the sale of the 15 minute reel. However, what the Post failed to mention in their story is that Morgan is well-known within the tight-knit circle of Marilyn Monroe memorabilia collectors for being a sycophantic, press hungry namedropper (check out his likely self-penned IMDB bio) whose main objective is to promote himself and the Monroe documentary that he is working on. Not only has he been known to casually claim that he has dated both Mariah Carey and Renee Zellweger, he has thus far refused to disclose either the names of either the seller or buyer of the tape; additionally, he has not been able to provide evidence that this alleged sale even occurred.
