Happy Friday! Enjoy the following while you spend the last few hours of your work day only pretending to work:

\-- Speaking of work, check out these photos of [Desk Jobs Around the World](https://flavorwire.com/168492/bureaucratics-photographic-world-tour-of-desk-jobs?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). The Liberian Traffic Police headquarters has seriously great natural light. (Flavorwire)

\-- The Telgraph has[ an interesting interview with Diane von Furstenberg](https://fashion.telegraph.co.uk/news-features/TMG8430291/Diane-von-Furstenberg-interview.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). That woman knows how to make a wrap dress, *and* give good sound bite. (The Telegraph)

\-- Also a good interview: Russell Brand, whose autobios I really have to recommend. Okay, I haven't read the second one yet, but *My Booky Wook* is laugh-out-loud funny.[ Here, he talks to ](https://nymag.com/movies/features/russell-brand-2011-4/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)[*New York*](https://nymag.com/movies/features/russell-brand-2011-4/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)*.* (New York)

\-- I kind of can't believe that [the tabloid cover featuring naked, pregnant Mariah Carey belongs to....*Life and Style*](https://laineygossip.com/Mariah%5FCarey%5Fpregnant%5Fnaked%5Fon%5Fcover%5Fof%5FLife%5Fand%5FStyle%5F06apr11.aspx?CatID=0&CelID=0&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)? No offense, *L&S*, but you guys thought it would go to *US Weekly* at least, too, right? (Lainey)

\-- The NY Times has an interactive program where we, the readers, [get to try to balance the US budget.](https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2010/11/13/weekinreview/deficits-graphic.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) How hard could it be, right? RIGHT? (Hint: I said the phrase, "dude, this is hard," after about six seconds. And then I went crazy with taxes, and I still could barely make it work. I would *never* get re-elected.) (NY Times)

\-- You clearly want to read about Francine Pascal's [own lavaliere. And the rest of her wardrobe.](https://racked.com/archives/2011/04/07/francine-pascal.php?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) (Racked)

\-- Apparently, [Victoria Gotti has handpicked Lilo -- excuse me, JUST LINDSAY -- to play her in a movie about John Gotti](https://www.celebitchy.com/149841/victoria%5Fgotti%5Finsisted%5Flindsay%5Flohan%5Fplay%5Fher%5Fbecause%5Fof%5Flohan-gotti%5Fconnections/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Now, what you may not know about me is that I once worked on Growing Up Gotti and I am completely sure that the "connections" Victoria is talking about isn't actually a reference to the Lohans being mobbed up, but because I think they used to be neighbors. Also: they have very similar extensions in right now. (Celebitchy)

\-- DEAR SWEET FANCY SANDWICHES:[ Heidi Montag, Danielle Staub and Worst Bachelor Ever Jake "Angry Pilot" WhateverHisLastNameIs are filming a reality show together](https://www.refinery29.com/reality-hell-the-grossest-reality-stars-in-america-are-now-back-on-tv-why?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Is it too mean to wish for the earth to open up beneath them and swallow the three of them whole?(Refinery29)

\-- Apparently, if you want Conde Nast to pay you eight million dollars,[ all you have to do it invoice them.](https://blogs.forbes.com/williampbarrett/2011/04/03/conde-nast-paid-8-million-to-scammer-who-sent-one-email/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) All over the world, freelancers are muttering, "yeah, I *tried that."* (Forbes)

\-- I'm sure you've seen the Funny or Die video with Helen Mirren and Billy Crystal, When *Harry Met Sally 2,* but[ if you haven't, it really is kind of inspired](https://www.funnyordie.com/videos/0247468f28/when-harry-met-sally-2-with-billy-crystal-helen-mirren?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).
