Take it away, Nikki Finke and Sharon Waxman!

What is your traffic?
I’m obsessed by the news. Not by my traffic. People keep telling me it’s extraordinary. I know that since the inception of the site there have been 65 million page views this week. Give or take. That’s what I can tell you. That’s what the source meter says on my site. I don’t know. It’s called Sitemeter.

You told me the numbers I published back in March were wrong?
I don’t know the number you seem to desperately want. I don’t have to tell you anything.

What is your vision for taking it to the next level?
I don’t know, but I sure want to find out. We have a strategy that we want to pursue.

What does that involve?
I’d rather not tell you.

You plan to hire a senior journalist in New York? How soon?
Soon.

Let’s talk about the deal? Seven figures? Eight figures?
I will not confirm or deny anything.

So what was the deal?
It’s the GNP of a small country.

What the f—- does that mean?
It’s cute.

It’s meaningless.
It’s cute.

It’s cute to you.
I’m also using the line, “I’m working for a 30 year old.” I don’t take this as seriously as you do. Hell, it’s just life. Not the second coming. I didn’t hire a publicst. It was a deal worth waiting for.

If they could have found a way to work Deborah Solomon in there I’d die content.
