Post Number 10,000


A few months ago I noticed I was approaching this milestone. At one point I thought about trying to do something special for the post, but since I didn't know where it would end up or when exactly I figured I would just post something normal. But, then I said to myself that 10,000 posts is a whole lot of posts and that I wanted to at least have a post titled 10,000 posts so I would have some way to look back at where and when it happened.

I know lots of you think that I have a staff running around helping me with all the writing, or that it is a different person or a series of people who have been doing the writing in these 10,000 posts. If you want to keep thinking that, then please go ahead. I think it is fun.

The reality is that about 3.5 years ago I was bored at my desk one day and had just read a blog. It was quick and simple to post something so I did. I thought I would maybe have the time to do it for just a week and then I would give it up or move on to something else. At the beginning it was much tougher to find the time to post everyday because I hadn't learned how to fit the blog into my life. When someone writes a post other than myself, I give them credit and tell all of you. Every other post has been written by me. The same guy who wrote post #1 is writing post #10,000 and wrote all of them in between. It is the same crappy grammar, questionable proofreading, and all the other attributes of a guy who is trying to type as quickly as he can before someone walks in and notices.

Back when I started, Blogger didn't allow you to set a timer on the posts so if you wanted to post ahead, you had to either save everything as a draft and have someone go in and publish or publish everything all at once really early in the morning. If you go back and look you can sometimes see my 5am posts.

The end of the second month I was doing it, around Christmas, the place I was staying for Christmas had this storm and all the power went out for four days. I remember thinking to myself, well, this would be a good time to stop. But, I didn't.

Everyday I try and find the time because I love coming back here each day to see all of you. I know I don't actually see all of you, but I feel like I do. I love the community and people. I like the discussions. I like the skepticism. Without all of you coming back everyday and being here everyday, I would have given up a very long time ago.

I appreciate each of you coming here everyday. I appreciate it when you send me an e-mail or drop me a line or add me as your Facebook friend. Although I suck at always replying to all the e-mails, I do read them all and love the tips and videos and everything else you find that seems like it would interest me.

Over the years there have been days where I didn't think I could manage them both. Despite what many of you think, I am a lawyer and I work full-time. I also have billable hour requirements and hearings and trials and client meetings. Oh, and I have to find time to eat at least one buffet a day. But hey, that is a quirk.

Anyway, despite the juggling and stress, this is the place I love coming every morning. This is the place I like to be, and I thank you for the opportunity to share my rants whether they be right or wrong or misguided. Thank you for reading what I write and I know there are funny days and not so funny days. I know there are days that are more filled with news than others. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. None of this would be possible without all of you.

Alli Morgan said...

Thank YOU, Enty! This is the place that I love coming most every day, as well. I appreciate all you do and the incredibly awesome post on my Facebook wall for my birthday. It made all my other girlfriends who are readers jealous! I can NOT tell you how many times I have linked to this site for my radio show, for my friends, or for some other reason because you had the scoop no one else did. I appreciate you! (because your insider info sometimes makes me look smart. :) )

hotchacha said...

Thank you so much for making this one of my favourite stops on the internet.

You rock.

GoGo said...

Congrats Enty!
Appreciate your hard work and I love spending my AMs with you and e'eryone else here! Can't wait for Post 20,000! You're the best!

Carissa said...

Enty, you rock! Thank you for making us SO happy and for making a little ole' stay at home mom with crazy kids laugh at least once a day! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now go and show that buffet who's boss!

Carrie L. said...

Enty, I came across your blog about two years ago and have been hooked ever since. Whether it's trying to get through the day at a job I hate, or trying to forget how much pain I'm in, your blog gives me a fun escape each day, and the community of people here is just awesome. Thank you for 10,000 posts - I'm looking forward to the next 10,000 more!

Cheryl said...

I'm still here and I love the twice a year revealapalooza.

ItsAJ said...

Thanks for the blog, Enty. Love it especially the Blind Items and the pics.

Here is hoping for 10,000 more posts!!

chopchop said...

Aww, Enty, you're gonna make me cry. *sniff*

Thank you, Enty, for entertaining the hell out of me. Happy 10,000!

lifeiscrazy said...

Congratulations Enty - thank you for taking time out of your day to entertain the masses. You are always a bright spot in an otherwise mundane day.

Lil said...

Aww Enty, we love you too. It's your distinctive voice, your morality (or lack thereof) and the awesome community you've helped to create that keep me coming back here day after day. Thank you so much for everything you do here, Enty. Looking forward to all of us sticking around for another 10,000 posts. :-)

KellyLynn said...

No, Enty -- Thank YOU. If it wasn't for your sometimes questionable editing, off-the-cuff comments, and unvarnished reality that you give us, we wouldn't have stuck around. Oh, and the blind items. We love the blind items.

Just think, without your daily doses of gossip, this community of CDaNites wouldn't have formed. (Of course, neither would that much smaller hoard of tinfoil-hatted-Enty-conspiracy-theorists.) Without you, the intelligent gossip lovers would still be wandering aimlessly from blog to blog, looking for a comment threads that didn't start with "first!".

So, again, thank you.

Patty said...

Thanks for the posts, Enty!
Being that I'm in the Eastern time zone, I don't see your posts till the afternoon. I start checking at 12:00 and keep checking every chance I get till you post the blind item. Love the photos,the humor, sarcasm, and of course the juicy gossip!

Also, thanks for fixing those ads that started playing automatically! I couldn't get the PC (at work) to mute fast enough!

Jeannies Bottle said...

Enty, I can't go a day without checking in with you. Thanks for creating one of the best celebrity blogs out there...second only to Dlisted, but let's be honest, Michael K's humour is hard to beat!

One teensy thing...the blind items need to get a bit easier...you can do it, you're lawyered up already!!!

Angie said...

this is my #1 stop each day....THANK YOU for making my days much more tolerable and entertaining.

TinselSass said...

Enty, congratulations on Post 10,000... here's to your good health and many many more posts.

Thanks for creating this wonderful space for laughing, sharing, secret-revealing, truth-telling, inspired captions and yes, gossip.

Cheers to Enty and to all of you!

Liz said...

Thank you for your blog.

I really enjoy reading your take on what's happening.

Privacy said...

congrats enty! here's to another 10,000!

*glass raised/clink*

MontanaMarriott said...

Awww Big Guy, congratulations! and thank you for creating such a wonderful site and community for us all!, YOU ROCK ENTY!

Sporky said...

Thanks Enty, looking forward to the next 10,000.

And thanks for your nice words when I got married last year, they really helped put things into perspective for me. You're awesome! XOXOX

trouble bubble said...

Congtatulations on post #10.000, Enty! Love and warm hugs to you from Lithuania (I'm sure you don't even know where it is). You have one big fan on the other side of the world!

Oh, and I totally believe everything you say about yourself. That's because I am a naive person in general. Lol :)

Lady J said...

Aaaawww shucks Enty! I LOVE your blog, it is one of my favorites. Thank you for keeping me entertained over the past two years! Congrats on making it to 10,000!! :)

delilah said...

congrats E!

Ms Cool said...

Congratulations! That is some crazy posting. Thank you for doing it. I love the diversion. Thank you, too, for the favor you did for me when I was looking for a magazine and all the DANIEL CRAIG pictures.

Theresa said...

Thank you Enty for your awesome blog and all of the hours I've spent reading, laughing, shaking my fist, and giving my two-cents. There are 3 websites I go to religiously, every day, without fail: CDAN, Dlisted, & Gmail. Thank you again, because I really do enjoy & appreciate your blog, and you!

Staceylynnie said...

I started reading your blog from the (almost) beginning, at work. Now I am a stay at home mom and continue to read your blog. You have made the transition much easier.
Thanks for the sweet escape!
HUGS!

Random Ramblings said...

Enty, thank YOU for your blog.. we should be thanking you, not the other way around :) i LOVE your snarky comments and your blind items.. and your humor and subtle hints make this worth blog wonderful.. Plus, we cannot forget your guest bloggers like Jax and Adriana Costa.. thank YOU for having us around :)

KLM said...

Thanks for making my work day like 80 times more fun than it should be! Always love coming to CDAN for fun.

valerie said...

Thank YOU!

Sonia in MO said...

Congrats on the 10,000! And thanks to YOU for making my gossip fix so fun every day :)

Linnea said...

Therese, me too! They are like my GTL!

I am also one of those people who just love to come to cdan to get a different take on things and a fresh perspective on the gossip i hear everywhere else.

Where else would i have learned about tommy boy and xenu?

Who else would ever question Sandy Bs adoption, just to take a recent example? I love it, the jadedness, the cynisism and the good heart.

Beth said...

Thank you Enty!

This the my favorite place to come to everyday. The posts are always entertaining and a good escape from the real world!

I look forward to every post and will still be here for post 20,000!

Cheers!

jfwlucy said...

What I like best about your blog is that it doesn't go out of its way to shame people who don't deserve it. It's the rarest of things -- a gossip blog with some real ethics and just a dash of compassion behind it. Thanks.

jax said...

ditto what they all said.

you know what you've done for me personally..and somewhat professionally, and continue to inspire me on a daily.

i am very lucky to count YOU as my friend,confidant and mentor in the bloggy bidness.

thank YOU!

Borg Queen said...

I love ur site. Its just as funny and snarky as Dlisted.com. You have the best gossip and blinds. The Blind Reveals in January/July are what I look forward to all year long. Keep up the good work ENTY. Live long and prosper. LOL.

canadachick said...

Thanks big guy - We love you right back, you can't tell but right now i am toasting you with an alcoholic beverage and trust its not easy as i'm at work ...shhhh :)

Cougarific said...

Enty, you are the best. Your comments are always on point and your kindness shows often, while keeping the bitchiness of gossip intact without being mean or boring.
You rock! Keep up the great work! We appreciate you!!!

Now! said...

Tillykke fra Danmark! I read you every day from Copenhagen - although for me, it's an evening blog! - and enjoy your work.

Unknown said...

Enty, I'm pretty sure I found you on day three, I have been here through geezlouise and jax. I keep coming back because it is THE most entertaining blog I read. I always read ALL the comments - I don't even look at comments in other blogs because the community here is intelligent, respectful and enormously entertaining. I too, wish you another 20,000 - and I know how hard it is for a lawyer to fit this kind of blogging into a day. Thank you.

Anonymous said...

Love you Enty - you are so appreciated and I can't wait til you come online every morning. Love my CDAN family as well!

Sadie said...

Enty...I stumbled upon your blog more than a year ago and I am TOTALLY addicted. I even come on the weekends when I know you don't post but my brain just won't compute that. Thanks for all you do!

jess said...

Congratulations!!!! and keep them coming, as long as you are honest in every post I'll keep coming back.

-I started reading CDAN about a year ago and it has been fun, all of the stories, the comments and the community of CDAN is funny and keeps a good thread going.

__-__=__ said...

Love CDAN! Thanks so much!!

lmnop123 said...

Thank YOU Enty and Congratulations on your ten thousandth post.

I love the fact that you appreciate, respect and acknowledge our comments. This is why you're one of a kind.

Anonymous said...

Thank YOU! I love this site, and start checking in every day around noon (another east coaster) and it sure makes the long afternoons in the law firm go faster. I go back and forth between here and Dlisted, which I also love. I think you're just as funny as Michael K, but more heterosexual and safe-for-work, and your commenters are a lot classier. I'm so glad you were bored at work that day two years ago, and hope you continue to find time for the site for years to come, although you do realize I can hardly go to any movie now that I know so much about the stars that there are only about ten people in Hollywood for whom I don't feel loathing/ disgust/ pity/ scorn.

Icecat said...

Thanks Enty!!

Ellen said...

Thank you for making me laugh every day. This is by far the best blog. It is the only blog that I make a point to read every post because I know if I don't, I am missing something good.

A couple years ago someone mentioned this site on the Awful Truth message board and I am forever grateful to that person because this blog brightens may day! Thank you!!!!

Candy said...

Thanks for all the hard work you put in for us Enty. I am a stay at home Mom and as much as I love it, I can only handle so much Dora and Max and Ruby. I love coming to your site to read what you and everyone has to say. And it NEVER fails to make me laugh out loud. Thanks for giving me some adult "conversation" in my day.

Maja With a J said...

Thank you enty and congratulations! I've been on here for a couple of years, started commenting some time around "Timmy/ Shimmy", and keep coming back every day!
10,000 more?

bonnjill said...

Congratulations on post 10,000! I totally agree that we should be thanking you, not the other way around. I love your blog and love the fact that you share kindness as well as snark. You are simply the best and my days would be boring without you!

Stacey Charter said...

been here since pretty close to the beginning big guy and I thank you for doing what you do.! You are fantastic! Better then bacon i say!

Shmooey said...

For me this is a late afternoon/night blog.


I enjoy reading and participating in the comments more than the actual blog posts, because most of them are really depressing and/or revolting (is there anyone in show business who isn't a secretly bulimic, drug addicted, prostituting, cheating, closeted homosexual????).

When I first started reading this blog, I did send an email with a funny video I found in the news to Ent Lawyer, but I didn't get a reply, so I don't know if it was ever read and so I haven't sent another one since.

Cardamoms said...

We love you Enty! You make Monday through Friday a little more fun. Thank you for finding a way to make blogging work with everything else you're doing (I agree - buffets are very important).

Adventurous Kate said...

Love you. <3

That is all.

Vikingwench said...

I'll have a wine cooler or 6 to celebrate tonight on your behalf!

JJ said...

Congrats and thank you for keeping us entertained.

Luv ya!

L'auteur said...

Thanks for all the blogs, Enty. I wouldn't miss a day of them...I always feel current on Hollywood gossip when I read your blog...sometimes I laugh, sometimes I'm sad...but I'm always entertained once I've read it!

sassyyankee said...

Enty,

You rock! Thanks for all the hard work you do for us! This site is the one place that keeps me sane every day. You make us all feel so appreciated when it is us who should be thanking you ... thanks for giving us a unique perspective on all the gossip AND giving us a great community to come to each day. And for our cool birthday greetings!!

Here is to 10,000 more!

krista said...

thank YOU enty!

ms_wonderland said...

Wow, 10,1000 posts! That's a lotta typing. Thanks for keeping up with it, and giving us your view on gossip.

CDAN is a teatime pleasure for me here in the UK and I always think od you bashing out posts in the early morning over in Cali!

Wonder Woman said...

Enty, this is my favorite gossip site but don't let my lack of comments reflect that. This site is a part of my daily ritual. You reeled me back in the day with the MV blind and I've been here ever since. By the way, I think I figured it out! Since now I know that you read EVERY email and my long MV comment would just probably get lost, I'll be sure to clean up my thorough research and deductive reasoning and send you my answer. (I'm down to two people, but OMG...really?! Yeah, it blew me away.)

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this wonderful blog.

Sue Ellen Mishkey said...

Thanks for the blog Ent. It has saved my sanity many a time. Because, really, there's only so long you can study, before you feel yourself going mental.

And thank you to the posters. Thanks for not being a bunch of idiots, like almost every other gossip blog poster out there.

West End Girl said...

Thank you for doing this and as an overseas visitor, making me feel enormously welcome.

Bring on another 10,000 posts!

RocketQueen said...

Thank YOU, Enty!
I've been hanging around for going on two years now, and it is not only YOUR voice that I enjoy, it's this commenting community. For the most part, we are mature, kind of thoughtful people, a nice change from some of the shitty commenters on other sites. In addition to that, I've been able to make personal friends with some of the commenters on Facebook who I now LOVE, and will always be grateful to you for that.
Fuck the haters - go big man!

Lil said...

Wonder - WHO????? That's the one blind I REALLY want to know the answer to. Please share. Please?!? I love hearing people's thoughts on that one. :-)

Stacy said...

Thank you, Enty!

gralismom said...

Thank YOU Enty. Every week day you are my guilty pleasure when the kids are napping. I really appreciate all the hard work you do for us. Thanks. And thanks too all you commenters - I'm mostly a lurker, but I feel like you're all my cyber pals anyhow. :-)

Add a thanks from me for making the afternoon a little easier to handle!

Little Miss Smoke and Mirrors said...

Congrats on the milestone, and thanks for all you do, ENTy. Lova ya!

Green Wave Gal said...

Thank you Enty!!!! :)

You've "introduced" me to some awesome people (your fantastic readers), some of whom I've already met in real life. They are definitely an on-line group of friends that I can count on for support or an ear (eye?) any time! I wouldn't have met them if not for CDaN!

PotPourri said...

I love your blog! You are keeping it real. You are just one of us, writing a blog. Keep up the good work.

annie cat said...

Wow 10,000th post! Congrats Enty and THANK YOU for your blog. Its one of the few gossip ones me and Vivien actually make time to read everyday. =)

MnGddess said...

Thanks to you, Enty-poo, I have another unique insight into Hollywood, and more importantly, have made a whole new group of semi-same friendships! I cherish my new friends, and I cherish you. I hope to meet you one day and buy you a drink. And an In-and-Out burger.

jax said...

enty..you and i share 33 friends on Facebook..wow!

i think that speaks volumes to how you've enriched our lives.

Marna Palmer said...

Thank you Enty for all your funny commentary, tireless dedication to your blog, and for being a great friend. Love you!

Reese said...

Thank you Enty! Love you much; you are one of my favorite online stops during the day. You and this site (and the other CDANers) are endless fun.

XOXO!!

Kim said...

Congratulations on the milestone! Love the blog, (especially) love the reveals, love the comments and commenters, love the whole CDAN experience to be honest. I even read the blog while I'm on vacation. I can't remember what life was like before I found this place. I'll raise my martini glass to you tonight.

skeeball said...

Thanks Enty!! your daily posts help me get through a horrendously horrendous job on a daily basis!! and I sneak on cause I share the office with my boss!! thanks for removing the sound ads, I almost got caught!!! LOL, but it would have been worth being written up!!!

Jasmine said...

This actually made me a little misty eyed!
I still remember how touched and ridiculously in awe I was when you sent me that facebook birthday message.
You are so awesome and I just want you to know that I believe you are exactly who you say and I appreciate all the hard work you do to provide an outstanding blog where we can all share our feelings on the myraid of topics in today's headlines
Love u enty and here's to another 10,000!!!

Jasmine said...

And next time I am in LA (which will be in late June) I would love to take you out to a buffet of your choice to celebrate!

Unknown said...

Enty, reading your posts and everyone's comments is not only fun, it's helping me get through a really nasty period at work. Nothing like humorous gossip to lift one's spirits. :-) Thanks!

Green Wave Gal said...

Hey Jasmine-Can I come? I live in LA! :)

MAC said...

Enty,

Thanks for preventing me from getting any work done. You and Michael K kill me on a daily basis.

Love the blog and all you do!!

Congrats

ThoughtElf said...

WOOT! 10,000 juicy bits of goodness is a lot to be proud of Enty.

Here is a bouquet from all of us:

Enty,

I love gossip so I stop here to read what you write and what the Enty community write lol. It has been very enjoyable. I normally stop at 11 central time and if I dont' see anything here I come back every half hour lol.

ThoughtElf said...

Ooops. Let's try that Bouquet again!

trouble bubble said...

I also would like to mention how I love, when commenters go personal and share their own experience on different issues with this community. It just shows how complex life is. There are people with eating disoders, recovering addicts, victims of abuse, parents of abused children, homosexuals, single parents, divorsees etc. among us. I love how people come out and are free to share their point of view. It also teaches me to be more tolerant and less ignorant as a person. Thank you, Enty, and thanks to everybody here!

memyselfandi said...

Congratulations Enty! I've been reading for about a year and you are by far my favorite site to stop at.

I appreciate the time you put into this. It is definitely something I look forward to everyday. And moreso on Jan 1 and July 4 ;)

Here's to 10,000 more posts! Cheers!

Pookie said...

i love you and am incessantly proud of you.

never cease being the extraordinary man of excellence that you are.

chihuahuense said...

awww!!! thanks for the laughs enty! and thanks everyone else for the serious and seriously-funny comments.

mazemerizing said...

So sorry I missed the first year (or so), but I've been reading your blog religiously since Timmy/Shimmy. I occasionally go to DListed and others, but CDAN is still the best. Thanks!

Nicole said...

Ditto what the previous posters have said, Enty! You're my first stop each day when I log on. When I had a baby 2 weeks ago, your site was the only one I checked while I was in the hospital. Thanks for all you do, and here's to another 10,000 posts!

jagerlilly said...

You're the best - We love you!!!

ellie said...

CHEERS ENTY!!

redronnie said...

Wow..it's been a slice, you are the best blogger out there, funny, witty and charming - love you, love the delightful community of Enty fans...here's to another 10,000

SnowCherries said...

Thanks for your blog and for creating this little community! I look forward to seeing what you have to say every day :)

ali said...

Thanks Enty! This is my one stop gossip stop

Queen Beatnik said...

Thanks and congrats. I remember finding your blog in January 2007 and being instantly hooked on it. Back then you used the Blogger dots dark template and it inspired me to start blogging too (although I'm not nearly as prolific as you are).

Thank you for giving me hours of free entertainment via CDAN -- even though it drove Hubby crazy during the Timmy/Shimmy time because I wouldn't get off the laptop. Thanks also for not being too nasty or snarky with gossip and for telling it like it is. Please keep posting lots of juicy gossip. Thanks!

Hendrix said...

CONGRATS ENTY!

Whatever you do, DON'T GIVE IT UP!

I admit an addiction to this blog and working in the business myself I have been trying to figure out who you are for a long time. (No clue yet - you must be good!)

It seemed to me that you had a ghostwriter because the tone of the posts changed somewhere in the middle. To my mind, the earlier posts were more conversational, personal, and did more chronicling of your daily life, which I really miss. (I understand why you may not do that anymore, but I still miss it!)

But the gossip is good as gold and the blind items are great. I know gossip is bad for my karma, but I don't spread it (and after 26 years in this business, I have a LOT I could spread!)...so I read it. So I guess my karma is only half bad.

My only wish for you is that you watch your cholesterol! That stuff like those KFC sandwiches...that's slow suicide, Enty - and what would we all do without you? ;-)

Happy 10,000th!

nunaurbiz said...

Love you, Enty! MWAH!

mooshki said...

Oh Enty, I love you so much. You are the best friend I've never met. I can't imagine what my life would be like if you hadn't started blogging, and I don't know what I'd do if you ever stopped. THANK YOU! And congrats on your milestone!

Lolita Breckenridge said...

Congratulations, Enty. You are sassy fries drenched in awesomesauce. I love this site, and the community you have built around it. xoxo

Maharesred said...

I lurked here for a couple of years before I finally joined in. Just wanted you to know that you're my favorite! Thanks for all your work ( on behalf of lurkers everywhere, and there are many )!! xo

timebob said...

omg my dead heart just started to beat a little.

Thank you Enty for filling up my time at work. And making all this typing I do commenting seem like I am very busy to my boss.

Win-Win!

Meg said...

Happy 10,000 Posts, Enty!
I discovered you a couple years ago while googling the gossip. I think the posts are smart, funny and generally only call people out when they are truly being db. Best of all, (unlike other blogs), the commenters are the same...well, for the most part. :) Yours is now the only one I read daily (well TRY to read daily; sometimes life gets in the way). So yay for YOU!

carriboo said...

Congratulations Enty! We love you! And appreciate al lthe hard work. :)

I would like to add that I found this site through a link on Gawker. They post the blind items there.

Now I hardly ever check Gawker, preferring to come here instead - much better community.

captivagrl said...

I always look forward to stopping by for a few minutes. Thank you for providing such an entertaining blog. I enjoy what you and the commentators have to say.

wenx said...

Thank YOU, Enty *hugs* I know you put a good bit of work into this, and I appreciate it tons. To me, you and your readers are the coolest people on the intarwebs to hang with :)

selenakyle said...

I've been along for the ride for many of the 10,000 and am proud to be a CDANer!

I think it was late 2006 when I started reading...whenever Enty ran the story about the old movie star with the late-night Viagra overdose.

Wow--time sure flies when we're have a blast ragging the rich and famous!!!

nancykate said...

Congratulations Enty! Please don't ever stop!

By the way, I still remember the first time I found this site, I ended up on the computer for HOURS catching up. I was obsessed. Still am!

awesome balla. said...

thanks enty. it takes a lot of dedication and love to be a writer, especially on top of another career. reading this post has finally given me that last nudge ive been looking for to finally get my own blog underway. ive forgotten how much i love to write and share my thoughts with others in a creative and funny way. seeing someone who isn't even considered a writer, and the passion and joy they get from composing, well thank YOU.

JRD said...

Adding my thanks to you for this blog. It's awesome and attracts great commentors for the most part.

Love you and love the little community that exists here.

WriterMommy said...

This is the only gossip blog I read anymore. I just keep coming back and can't wait to see your take on the lives of our favorites...and not-so-favorites! <3 Love you Enty!

AphraelDanae said...

Thanks Enty for sharing with us - whether it be gossip, musings, or random randomness, know that it is read and appreciated.

Cheers!

Love you Enty! Big kisses from Oz!

I join the throng congratulating you. Haven't been reading for too long, but became addicted pretty fast. I'm hoping by your 20,000th post that I'll have finally managed to guess a blind....

You make my day, every day! Thanks!

Unknown said...

Thank you Enty!!! I am a dedicated fan of this blog - worked for three years as a director's asst and then left the West Coast to come home and get my Ph.D.... Needless to say, your posts always remind me of the hilarity back there! Thank you so much for the time and good humor you devote every day!

Merlin D. Bear said...

I have so much in common with the people leaving comments above: late to the game, backed up and read everything once I found this site, love the thoughtfulness and compassion in the posts, love the comments and feel like I know most of the posters, admire the intelligence obvious in both posts and comments, can't even read PH et. al. any more (let alone comments there,) get depressed on weekends because Enty doesn't post, wrack my brain over blind items, sometimes save reading this blog for a treat because I enjoy it so much....This blog, Enty and all of the fellow readers are like no other, and that's the truth. How many other gossip sites engender such devotion from their readers? None, I think. Thank you for 10,000 posts, and here's to 10,000 more. Salud!

Liz said...

Thank you, Enty! Love the blog! Can't wait to read the next 10,000.

Oceansandsun said...

<3 you Enty! You inspired to write my own-for-fun-no-one-else-reads-blog. You're my fave stop of the day always!! Keep it up!

Sarah Jane said...

Unknown said...

thank you enty - sending big loves to you for entertaining me daily over the past few years and also for introducing me to a bunch of wonderful people who have become friends.

Unknown said...

oh and congrats!

Robin the Mad Photographer said...

Congratulations on hitting the 10K mark! This is definitely one of the websites I read every day, and besides, who else would have posted all my blathering & photos from the NYC NIN show last summer? If you were closer, I'd bake you something yummy (chocolate-chip espresso brownies? chocolate-chip oatmeal cookies? the blueberry muffins that brought down the Berlin Wall?)...so when are you going to get your butt out here to Boston so I can do that, damn it? (Or at least send me an address where I can FedEx you something...)

Take care of yourself, OK? *hugs*

Cheryl said...

Happy 10,000th blogpostday, Enty. Whoever you may be, I'm truffle shuffling in your honor today. xoxo

I think you and MK are the best, very different but you tell it like it is without being cruel, and thank the Gods neither of you have turned into something vile like Perez Hilton who sets the bar as a blog, twitter so low it still boggles my mind he gets even 3 people to read him. You can have character and an opinion without being evil, or cruel but still tell the story. Bravo sir, and thank you for many hours of entertainment.

Anonymous said...

Congrats, Enty. Sorry I'm late to the party but the hospital I've been working at lately has blocked your site specifically as being too entertaining. ("This site is blocked: Entertainment").

Miss you, and I promise to keep reading at least on an intermittent basis. Glad I found some time today!

Miss X said...

Thanks for listening to us (i.e. no longer running the annoying ads)! And for actually giving the answers to some of your blinds. This is the ONLY gossip site I visit daily.

MMSG said...

I LOVE YOU MAAAAN

janet85 said...

Congrats on the milestone Enty. I'm not a big commenter, but I read almost all the posts you make, and have come to CDAN for years. You have a great blog, I love reading your posts.

Go Enty! Keep on entertaining us. :)

braverwoman said...

Enty, To quote the incomparable Barry White, when it comes to gossip blogs, "You're my first, my last, my everything!"

Been checking in daily since Timmy Schimmy days. That's had to be 2 -2 1/2 years. I love the community, the comments, the reveals twice a year and looking at reader pictures. What a smart, beautiful community we are. Maybe this year I'll get the courage to send my own picture in. Love you and THANK YOU! BW

Janelle said...

No no, thank YOU, Enty!

You have the best entertainment blog out there! I even come on the weekends when I know you don't post!

Here's to 10 MILLION more!!

Jasmine said...

@Green Wave Gal, Of course you can come!!!
We should totally gather all the California peeps together and, even if Enty doesnt make it boo, have a little CDAN get together!

I'll try to hit him up on Facebook with this idea~
bug him too and maybe we'll get a response!
:D

Jasmine said...

Enty? Are you listening to us?
Might I recommend the excellent Indian buffet in the valley that my friend took me to a few months ago?

ChasingHeaven said...

Enty, Did we just become BFF? Yep!

*Swoon* Love You.

Hard to believe you've written 10,000 posts and that I've read every single one of them!

I think I linked to you from Trent @ PITNB on your very first day and have been back every day since!

I'm currently unemployed (not by choice) so thank you for filling my days with laughter and making everthing seem so much more bearable!

Katja said...

Thanks for the cool community to chill in Enty! Katja

Okay, I'm extremely late to the party as well... Congrats, Enty. You've created an awesome community in addition to dishing some interesting gossip (always with your unique spin). Keep it up! later 'gator.

I've only been reading for a short time, but you are better than Lainey, Michael K and the Fug Girls all rolled into one. Love your outlook! You have a lot of common sense.
