"A lot of bloggers will just grab stuff and make judgments... I love the fact that he?s successful because he?s not trying to be negative."

The celebrity PR people love the extra-nice blogger, who apparently gets invited everywhere (and makes millions). The blogger's name is Jared Eng, and the blog is called Just Jared. Man, I was just thinking about how nobody's going to use the name Jared anymore. Before the recent massacre, Jared was a good new baby name, likely to be chosen by parents attracted to the ultra-popular "J" names ? Jacob, Joshua, Justin ? and wanting to get a bit more unusual. But, post-massacre, there's a new thirst for syrup...

[M]ore than a few publicists have taken to nicknaming Mr. Eng the ?nice Perez Hilton?...

?I don?t throw anyone under the bus,? he said. ?It?s all objective and/or positive.?...

Mr. Eng had a very sheltered childhood, growing up in Fresh Meadows, Queens, the third oldest among five boys. His Chinese-American parents raised him strictly, limiting his television diet to 30 minutes per week....

30 minutes! Outrageous slacking! Somebody call Amy Chua! That boy's a disgrace!
