On Tuesday, Jessica Alba issued the following apology regarding her recent binge of animal rights activism, or as the Oklahoma City police calls it, vandalism:
“I got involved in something I should have had no part of. I realize that I should have used better judgment and I regret not thinking things through before I made a spontaneous and ill-advised decision to let myself get involved with the people behind this campaign. I sincerely apologize to the citizens of Oklahoma City and to the United Way for my involvement in this incident.”
Hmmn. Is that really an apology? It’s kind of like a kid blaming his friends for the pot that his parents found in his top dresser drawer. Also, maybe instead of forcing Jessica to do stupid things like plaster shark posters to concrete walls, these activists should focus on more important causes…like getting Jessica to pose nude in a movie or something.
Anyway, now that Jessica has apologized, I wonder if this is the end of the story. Some commenter claims that “White Mike” “” the man behind the shark posters””is this photographer, but I’m not sure that matters. What I do know, though, is that since we first discovered the pictures of Alba vandalizing OKC, things have been pretty busy at The Lost Ogle. We’ve been cited by national media outlets like TMZ, Eonline, New York Daily News, and Access Hollywood, and we’ve been referenced locally by NewsOK, KWTV Channel 9 and Channel 6 in Tulsa. We’ve also had a large number of celebrity gossip blogs link to us. Our favorite link so far has come from HollywoodFail:
The Lost Ogle, a blog devoted to writing about Oklahoma City (proving there is a blog for just about everything now), found out that Alba had descended upon their city and plastered shark posters all over the place. She did so with help from a guy who loves sharks so much he wants to marry them.
Yeah, I guess there really is a blog for everything. I also guess that all the publicity we’ve received over the past 48 hours is pretty good for an “obscure local social blog” that (according to The Sports Animal) posts unoriginal content. Who knows what we’ll ever do or stumble across to top all this, but if it involves a hot female celebrity, hopefully she’s wearing a pink bikini.

She could’ve avoided all of this just by going to the Wormy Dog and getting shitty drunk with me.
Now that you’re kind of popular, will I be let go?
LOL @ IrritatedTulsan
Wow! I wonder if you guys were mentioned on the mother of all media outlets… The Sports Animal?
The Alba story? Probably. Us? Probably not.
I am honored to say I was part of TLO before it was cool…oh wait is it cool?
Nice work fellas!!!
This is what makes me laugh. The Hollywood paparazzi blog, as if that’s not a bit obsessive and annoying, suggests that a blog about a city with 1.3 million people around it officially proves that there is now a blog for everything.
I wonder what they would think if they knew there were more blogs than just the Lost Ogle..and that yes we do have high-speed Internet in Oklahoma City.
Ha-ha. The NY Daily News referred to thelostogle as a “local news Web site”.
Classic.
This is where I get all of my local news.
I’d consider you guys more factual, not to mention interesting, than most other local media outlets.
Are you working on Ms. Alba in a pink bikini for your next post?
If the Sports Animal knows anything, it’s unoriginal content.
Finally, the lost ogle is the (semi)famous ogle.
So will all you guys be leaving OKC and taking jobs at Entertainment Tonight, etc.? And why was Jessica Alba in town again? To make the people of OKC more aware of the plight of sharks? How far away is the ocean again? Sorry, but you’ve raised more questions than you answered.
