Dig's Joe on Ramen Diet?

Joe Keohane, editor of the Weekly Dig, will be leaving the paper to embark up on a lucrative career as a freelance writer.

Best of luck to him, but, given how hard it is to make a living as a freelancer, Bostonist hopes he likes the taste of ramen noodles. Even Keohane jokes about that his future "vast freelance wealth" in the press release announcing his departure. (Did you know that the inventor of instant ramen just died? Freelancers and college students, please offer a moment of silence right now.)

The Dig probably won't change much, as Michael Brodeur, who already edits large chunks of the paper, will be taking over the reins. But Bostonist is amped up about the addition of Cintra Wilson's syndicated column, "Dregulator," which kicks off January 24.

On her website, Wilson describes Dregulator as "Bi-Monthly Lowlights of the Yellow Press (A Rundown of the Worst in Celebrity Tabloid News)." Normally, the world needs another celebrity column like it needs a hole in the head, but Wilson's been working this beat for a long time and is far more clever than the picture-heavy web gossips.
