b'Anne Helen Petersen writes for BuzzFeed. Her book Scandals of Classic Hollywood is out this week.\\n\\n"I was obsessed with Entertainment Weekly from the very first issue and I obsessively catalogued it. I made a database on my Apple IIe where I put in the title of the magazine and the number and whether it was a little \'e\' or a big \'E\' on the cover and the different topics and then I gave it a grade. You know how in Entertainment Weekly they give everything a grade, so I\\u2019d be like \'Oscar\\u2019s Issue: A minus.\' But I learned how to obsessively track Hollywood industry even though I grew up in a very small town in northern Idaho."\\n\\nThanks to TinyLetter, Bonobos, and EA SPORTS FIFA 15 for sponsoring this week\'s episode.\\n\\nShow Notes:\\n@annehelen\\nannehelenpetersen.com\\nPetersen on Longform\\n[1:00] "The Down and Dirty History of TMZ" (BuzzFeed \\u2022 Jul 2014)\\n[1:00] Scandals of Classic Hollywood (Plume \\u2022 Sep 2014)\\n[3:00] EA SPORTS FIFA 15 Readers\' Poll Results\\n[5:00] "The Gossip Industry" (Petersen\'s Dissertation \\u2022 2011) [pdf]\\n[5:00] "Celebrity Gossip, Academic Style"\\n[6:00] "The Trials of Entertainment Weekly" (The Awl \\u2022 Jun 2014 )\\n[14:00] Longform Podcast #50: Edith Zimmerman\\n[28:00] Lainey Gossip\\n[32:00] "Jennifer Lawrence and the History of Cool Girls" (BuzzFeed \\u2022 Feb 2014)\\n[37:00] "Talking to Anne Helen Petersen About Leaving Academia for BuzzFeed" (The Hairpin \\u2022 Mar 2014)\\n[43:00] "Angelina Jolie\\u2019s Perfect Game" (BuzzFeed \\u2022 May 2014)\\n[45:00] "Confidentially Yours" (The Believer \\u2022 May 2014)\\n[50:00] "At Least One Real, Authentic Moment of Humanity With Cameron Diaz" (Alex Pappademas \\u2022 Grantland \\u2022 Jul 2014)\\n[53:00] "How I Rebuilt Tinder and Discovered the Shameful Secret of Attraction" (BuzzFeed \\u2022 Sep 2014)\\n[100:00] "Take Time" (John Herrman \\u2022 The Awl \\u2022 Jun 2014 )\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
