GOSSIP CORNER — all the news that's barely fit to print.
Lupa has won the annual howling contest. Again.
The judges' statement: "Technically perfect. Emotionally devastating. The final note hung in the air for eleven seconds and two audience members cried. We don't know why. It just happened."
Second place went to the wind, which put in what judges called "a respectable ambient effort." Third went to a kettle.
Asked for comment, Lupa said she was "just glad everyone came out," which is exactly the kind of thing a four-time champion says. The Gossip Corner congratulates her, the wind, and the kettle, in that order.
