So we're kind of two minds about the joint venture relationship blog that Web celebs Julia Allison and Jakob Lodwick just launched. On the one hand, we think it's kind of sweet. And on the other, we're throwing up a little in our mouths. (Okay, so Lo insists on full disclosure: she's mostly throwing up in her mouth and Em mostly thinks it's sweet. Then again, Em sobbed so hard when she saw A Walk to Remember that she had to cancel all her evening plans because her face was too red and puffy.)

We challenge you not to be totally annoyed by this site. And then we challenge you not to get totally hooked. (Kind of like Stephanie Klein's blog except lighter on the please-shoot-me-now-before-I-keep-reading element.)

Jakob seems like he might be kind of a douche, but then again, it's men like him who help the D&D guys survive junior high (attention-starved nerd all-growed-up scores babely girlfriend). Plus, it's true what Julia says on her own blog: if you met her in person, you'd probably like her. We did, even though we kind of hated her a little bit for her perfect apartment and how good she looks in sweats, ponytail, and no makeup. Plus, she taught us how to find excellent interns who work for nothing but the love. And for that, we are eternally indebted. Mwah, you guys. Stay cool and never change for anyone. H.A.G.S.!

How exactly does one, Julia Allison, come to be a Relationship Expert? I mean, the title of her latest post is "Ignoring Partner's Flaws Pretty Good Idea After All" - which I admit I'd laugh at if I saw it in The Onion. BUT it's publicly demeaning for Jakob, no? Not that I'm on Team Lodwick - God, it was probably his idea to start the joint blog. If anything, I'm on Team Lo here (sorry Em!). These two are def vomit inducing.

As someone who walks across the street rather than chance even the possibility of being in the background when a local news crew is filming, they are are utterly incomprehensible to me. That said, naming their production company "Attention Horse" is pretty excellent.

I am really confused as to why this blog exists. That being said, I have to admit that I am actually on Julia Allison's mailing list, AND I remember when she dumped her 40-year-old Jewish boyfriend and all the readers at AMNY.com left her nasty comments about how she was an idiot and she'd never have another good relationship after throwing that one away. So, I guess she showed them, and I'm happy for her. But still confused!
