New word: doxxing , the practice of piecing together detailed personal information from initial stuff you glean from Internet-available sources - such as when you find an e-mail address, then burrow through that to find phone numbers, addresses, info on chat rooms. It's a form of stalking. Hacker(s?) on the website exposed.su have either doxxed or hacked directly into celebrity private info, publishing photos, credit reports, mortgage details, Social Security numbers, etc. And now, says the FBI, the louts are "using" the info.

By Gregory Rodriguez Kim Kardashian's butt is real. Some haters said it was fake. To prove them wrong, she had a doctor take X-rays to show that it was implant-free. Odd as it sounds, when a symbol of trumped-up celebrity has a part of her anatomy authenticated, it's a perfect expression of Americanness. So, I'm adding Kim Kardashian's butt to the list of the things I celebrate. Americans have a complicated relationship with authenticity.

Then, there's the city's ongoing two-headed horrors: The ghastly case of Kermit Gosnell, the so-called West Philly doctor who is charged with butchering babies for cash. And, in a scene straight out of Misery, there's the Tacony dungeon horrors.

Perhaps that underappreciated philosopher, Kim Kardashian, said it best: "New Orleans deserves this. " The reality TV star is dating running back Reggie Bush of the New Orleans Saints, who won the Super Bowl Sunday night. The victory came four years and five months after Hurricane Katrina almost wiped the city off the map. The Saints' only championship in their 43-year history is emblematic of New Orleans' recovery. When residents had reason to give up, their spirit prevailed.
