The first America's Cup 2013 disaster is underway: the racing sailboat Artemis has capsized in the San Francisco Bay near the America's Cup pier. One of the eleven crewmembers has died.

On February 19, one of the largest bank heists in history was pulled off and almost no one noticed. No getaway vehicles were left idling, no guns were pointed, no panic buttons were pressed—but somehow several crews in two dozen countries working in perfect precision walked away with $40 million in cash.

If you enjoyed the rant, in which Janet Hubert (aka The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Aunt Viv 1.0) called Wendy Williams a demon, you'll probably like this new interview about her being fired from the sitcom. She's still not over it.

We hear that Michael Musto, the Village Voice's longtime society columnist and the last remaining vestige of the "classic" Voice, is one of the five Voice staffers targeted for layoffs— the proposed layoffs that caused the Voice's editors to quit today.

Evil corporatist archconservative billionaires the Koch brothers are considering making a bid to buy several big newspapers from the Tribune Co., including the LA Times and the Chicago Tribune. Unions and liberal politicians are justifiably alarmed by this prospect. They're trying to pressure the shareholders not to sell to the Kochs. Here's another, perhaps more productive idea: let the Kochs buy that crap.

Rupert Murdoch is thisclose to finally cleaving his entertainment properties from the dying, scandal-ridden newspaper side of the business. Today he announced a new logo: A pair of chopsticks on a plate? Two lasers streaking across a black sky? A broken saucer?

As a shared thoroughfare, the city sidewalk works best when its users maintain an acute awareness of their surroundings. This should involve recognition of fellow flaneurs, nearby vehicles, and the general pace of pedestrian traffic. There is an iffy yielding system. While it seems like organized chaos, there are rules to the side of the road.

This 38-year-old gymnastics instructor was profiled on last night's season finale of My Crazy Obsession for her Troll doll affinity. She goes by the name of Michelle Kerrins, but she is such a Shelly. Her obsession is amusing enough, but it's really her delivery that makes her story so riveting (her "Troll 2" license plate doesn't hurt either). Forget the cartoon adaptations, this woman speaks like a Troll doll should speak, her helium-filled peanut shell of a voice enthusing things like, "They're in all my crevices!" and "I like the odd things in life." Oh, me too, Shelly. Me too.

The sun has risen, and it's time for "Hey, Science," our boldly scientific weekly feature in which we have your most provocative scientific questions answered by real live scientists (or related experts). No topic is off limits in our ongoing quest for truth and time-wasting. This week, doctors explain: Why do cardio exercise when you could just do cocaine?

This magnificent specimen of American womanhood, who was photographed flipping off NBA player Joakim Noah at last night's Bulls-Heat game, is so much more than just an angry sports fan. She's also a serial wife and once-accused husband-murderer.

Spring Breaking wet blanket Selena Gomez released the video for her new single "Come and Get It" earlier in this week. In it, she plays an angel-baby version of Melissandre the Fire Priestess and sings a coded message to the Monkey God Bieber. One thing missing from her "glam tribal" get up, however, is the bindi she has brazenly sported to otherwise sacred cultural events like the MTV Movie Awards and Dancing with the Stars.

Everyone has trouble finding things on the internet: A restaurant's address, the date of President McKinley's assassination, minute details about a specific person, hidden confidential files mistakenly put on a public website. Luckily the National Security Agency, that monolithic embodiment of the contemporary surveillance state, has compiled an exhaustive guide on how to find information on the internet. It's a strange document.

Village Voice editor in chief Will Bourne, who'd only been with the company since November, just walked off the job, after being asked to cut five of the paper's 20 remaining editorial positions. Respect.

The only writer keeping the wild spirit of bohemianism alive today is Katie Roiphe, who once saw a fight.

The town of Gloversville, New York—population 16 thousand—isn't big enough for two ice cream trucks. Or one man's anger-management issues.

Fifteen farm workers in California who had no choice but to flee indoors to escape the smoke and ash descending upon them from the massive wildfire burning nearby were summarily terminated the following day.

The Dow is at record highs. Are you happy? No, because you are probably broke. And almost half of you people don't even own any stocks at all. Why?

Farrah Abraham continues her it's-not-a-porno media tour regarding the porno that she did with porno god James Deen, which includes a quintessentially porno shot of her porno vagina squirting porniferously. Abraham maintains that Backdoor Teen Mom is a sex tape, something originally intended for her own private use that should never require, oh you know, a media tour. She maintains this, you see, because Farrah Abraham thinks she is smarter than you. What a clown.

A member of Colombia's dreaded "Los Topos" gang who escaped prison after being incarcerated last year was caught by police this week despite having undergone a very "convincing sex change."

Joe Muto, the former producer for Bill O'Reilly who did a short-lived star turn as "the Fox Mole" here on Gawker about a year ago, will plead guilty today in a Manhattan criminal courtroom to misdemeanor attempted theft and attempted computer tampering charges.
