Seth Abramovitch · 10/11/11 09:26PM

Hopefully you've by now found some practical use for Gawker's Handy Guide to New York City's 1%, i.e. our magnate magnet, but in case it's been a late day at the office, fret not: Occupy Wall Street forces successfully mobilized today, targeting the Upper East Side homes of five of the city's top fat cats: News Corp. CEO Rupert Murdoch, conservative billionaire industrialist David Koch, real estate developer Howard Milstein, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon and hedge fund manager John Paulson. All of them stand to save billions come December, when a state tax on millionaires is set to expire.

Watch Susan Boyle Butcher 'Unchained Melody'

Matt Cherette · 10/11/11 09:22PM

It's pretty much a given that when Susan Boyle performs on live television, she does so while standing completely still amid dim lighting and fake fog in some sort of floor-length "polygamy chic" dress. As a performer, Boyle is usually either truly great or tragically bad. Unfortunately, her rendition of the Righteous Brothers' "Unchained Melody" on tonight's Dancing with the Stars results show was closer to the latter.

Matt Cherette · 10/11/11 08:46PM

Back in August, talk show host Tavis Smiley and Princeton professor Cornel West embarked on an 11-state "poverty tour," footage from which is airing this week on Smiley's PBS program. The two men appeared on tonight's Factor (broadcast from Boston in front of an audience) for what was supposed to be a poverty-themed debate about everything from Occupy Wall Street to Herman Cain. But as you might expect given this is Bill O'Reilly's show we're talking about, the audience was treated to lots of finger-pointing and shouting instead. Here's video of the debate's meatiest moments.
