Dahvi ShiraIt's with a heavy heart that I tell you fine folks—all you Twi-hards, Robstenites, Brangeloonies, Gyllenspoonsters, Gosselinatics and the rest of you—that after two wonderful years with the Awful Truth, I'll be hanging up my pink Britney wig. I'm moving on from the gossip game...
I'll be writing for a pop music blog, which means Brit-Brit and Lady Gaga and (God help our collective eardrums) Paris Hilton will still be very much a part of my life. However, unless Jon and Kate and the Plus 8 release a Christmas album, I won't have to ever type their names ever again.
Please hold while I breathe a giant sigh of relief.
Ted and Taryn think I'll miss waxing poetic about Twilight and Robsten the least, since my zest for this pretty pair has always been lukewarm.
It's true, my taste for unattainable men is more the Adam Lambert variety than some sulky high school vampires, but I don't hate Twilight.
I've seen a zillion Jennifer Aniston movies 10 times worse than Twilight. How's that for a ringing endorsement of the franchise? At least it's not Management!
I've had some more than memorable moments here at E!:
- Playing the role of a lifetime as the Ghost of Britney Past in last Halloween's Truth, Lies & Ted.
- Literally crying at my desk when news broke of Heath Ledger's death (ditto that for DJ AM).
- Hanging on set with the side-splittingly funny It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia cast.
- Looking Tom Cruise straight in the eyes on the red carpet and living to tell the tale.
The only thing I never got to do during my tenure here at E! was run into Lindsay Lohan and give her a comb and a hug, but perhaps that's for another lifetime.
Big ole bear hug and giant thanks to my A.T. crew, Ted and Taryn, as well as to all you celeb lovers out there who are as entranced and mortified by the batsh-t crazy people in Hollywood as I am.
