I don't know Melena Ryzik. I have nothing against Melena Ryzik. But "The Carpetbagger" was David Carr... not Ms. Ryzik, nor "The Baguette," aka Paula Schwartz, not Cieply or Barnes... The smart people at the NYT should give Ms. Ryzik a break and let her start with her own catchy moniker. (It's worth noting that she chose Awards Daily to tell her story and not any of the gossip sites.) It was MCN that gave The Carpetbagger the nickname, "The Bagger." This came some time after my first encounter with David Carr, at the Golden Globes party for The Lord of The Rings: Return Of The King.
