Shame's Late Night Lovers Pile on David Denby

When it rains it pours. Ask David Denby, the embattled, embargo-flouting New Yorker critic who, over the course of one week, has drawn the wrath of both Scott Rudin and Shame's unsung co-stars Calamity Chang and DeeDee Luxe -- a.k.a. Late Night Lover #1 and #2. Tough crowd!

Best known as veteran performers on the NYC burlesque scene, the ladies had already taken Twitter swings at Denby's New Yorker colleague (and Shame hater) Anthony Lane a couple weeks ago. This morning, a few days after Denby blogged his own disapproval of the McQueen, the duo returned to their respective Twitter pages for their latest arousing tag-team effort.

Amazing! I cannot wait to see what fallout comes of Denby's inevitable "We Bought the Zoo, or whatever it's called" takedown. Does Crystal the Monkey tweet?
