Heraldrazzi vs. Boring Broadsheet

Boston Herald "Sweet Shot"
Perhaps the Herald is feeling a little pissed this week after their neimesis, The Boston Globe, launched their new feature, Sidekick, a tabloid-styled What's Happening section. The Herald's Inside Track ladies always have the top gossip on celebrities, athletes, etc. The Globe living section focuses more on things to see, do, etc. around the city than the "who" to see, do, etc. The Herald threw a few jabs at the Boston Globe yesterday. The Herald, claiming that "The Departed" is close enough they could bite they laid a dig into their competition who conversly wondered where "The Departed" cast and crew were. Stalkerazzi photos splashed on the page with the article in the Herald backed up their claim. Certainly proves that when you commit that much staff time to looking, you can find the famous faces around the Hub.

Boston Globe "Loch-Ness"
The Globe also ran a correction on the very article the Inside Track took issue with: The Globe mis-identified a celeb from a "Loch Ness Monster-like pics the BB was forced to print." The Police in Boston are big Herald fans, since they've got an eye on security it makes sense that Heraldrazzi would be first on the scene. Bostonist does get a kick out of the ongoing commentary on the "Boring Broadsheet" (we're also honored to be called the "boring blog" by one of the Herald's own). When Bostonist wants to find out where we could catch a glimpse of Leonardo we'd check for that in the Herald. But Bostonist is a working stiff, and doesn't have the luxury of being paparazzi all day long. Seriously though, can't we all just get along? Inside Track is a gossip column, save requests for the Globe to "depart" along with the film crews for the editorials.
