If Alex Tourk had a MySpace page, he would have moved Gavin from the #1 spot on his Top 8 after he heard about the affair, and deleted Gavin as a friend. So Gavin trying to be nice on Alex's birthday was like Gavin trying to re-friend Alex, and being denied. Gavin's gonna rot in Alex's hypothetical friend request box for all of eternity because they aren't even RealSpace friends anymore.

Alex was going to announce his future plans on Wednesday, but Gavin had go steal his thunder. Again. We didn't know what Alex was going to say before that, and now we really don't know. That would have been, like, news. Thanks a lot, Gavin!

Name-dropping isn't our thing (unless it's our name that's being dropped, duh), but we interviewed Alex back when we were a bright-eyed, pixie-haired intern at 7x7. The interview was for the Hot 20 Under 40 issue. We can remember being clueless as to who Alex was before the interview, only that he worked for Gavin and was really important.
