With the sort of hard-hitting exclusive for which they've become infamous, Sridhar Pappu brings a stunning story to the front page of this week's New York Observer. According to media reporter Pappu, the Post's gossip maven Cindy Adams has secretly died several weeks ago.

[Disclosure: due to the Observer's inexplicable new policy of only hiring writers with unpronounceable names, I have a small piece in this week's issue.]
