Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch recently endorsed Republican Bob Turner in the special election for Anthony Weiner's old congressional seat, helping him pull off the upset against Democrat Dave Weprin. Koch, who supported Obama in 2008, wanted to punish the Democratic party over "President Obama's open hostility to the State of Israel." But that was all a few weeks ago! He's now changed his mind and endorsed Obama, after being invited to a fancy party.

You know how your boozy friend Kathleen always pours that third glass of pinot noir and then says, "It's good for your blood pressure anyway." Well, apparently that lush Kathleen is wrong.

Facebook admits it went too far. The social network is quietly retracting a cookie that continued to report your Facebook user ID even after you "logged out" of the site. But it's not sorry about five other cookies that persist after you sign off. What, you didn't think Facebook would ever let you actually for real seriously 100 percent sign out, did you?

A terrible bottom-feeding tabloid called the Los Angeles District Attorney published a picture of Michael Jackson dead on a gurney today, in a gossip rag called The Prosecution's Opening Statements Against Dr. Conrad Murray. You can see it here.

In your torpid Tuesday media column: Bill O'Reilly has another idiot book coming out, MSNBC is doing poorly, Salon.com relaunches, James Murdoch's flack quits, and speculation on Time Inc's next CEO.

Because we've been in a low-grade one, it appears, for years. Now that Adm. Mike Mullen has publicly accused Pakistan's intelligence agency of helping attack the U.S. embassy in Kabul, stories of heretofore secret Pakistani malfeasance are starting to leak out. It's almost like someone wants to start a war or something.

Our collective image of Vogue dominaeditrix Anna Wintour has always been as a hard-nosed ice queen, a Darth Vader under a helmet of hair, the stern and bitchy inspiration for The Devil Wears Prada. Due to some recent events, are we going to have to change our assessment?

HLN hopes Dr. Conrad Murray's trial for the manslaughter trial of Michael Jackson will be as good a ratings boon as Casey Anthony's trial for the manslaughter of her daughter, even though Nancy Grace will barely be around this time, because she's busy doing this.

International dramatic chipmunk Julian Assange had his ghost-written autobiography published without his permission last week. He got very angry about it! But it's a moot point, since nobody's buying it: Julian Assange: The Unauthorised Autobiography sold just 644 copies in its first three days on sale in the UK.

Here's a trailer for the thriller Man On a Ledge, which is about a woman in a ditch. No, just kidding, it's about a man on a ledge.

Meghan McCain has successfully scared a conservative blogger into silence.

Sharon Stone has got herself a lavish Beverly Hills manse that she really doesn't want anymore. And unfortunately for her, nobody else seems to want it either. This is the fifth time since 2006 that Stone has listed the home on the market.

Last night I was busy hanging out with a boy and watching Terra Nova so I didn't watch The A List. Instead I ran into Dustin & Jayden, Manhattan's most obnoxious homosexuals, this morning after they woke up on a bench in the 57th Street NRQ station. Here's what they had to say.

Where does Michele Bachmann stand on normalizing trade relations with Cuba? Well. It's not particularly high on her priority list, let's say! Not merely because they're dirty commies. But also, apparently, because Cuba is working with Hezbollah to potentially set up missile sites on the island. Perhaps you might even call it a... Cuban Missile Crisis? Or is this something of an exaggeration?

I was just watching the Livestream of the Occupy Wall Street protests (I'm too lazy to actually visit the protests, 13 minutes away) when who did I spot but Susan Sarandon! She chatted with protesters and was interviewed by a CNBC writer.

Last night's episode of The Witches of Westwick had some of the ladies traveling north to meet their enemies, while others faced demons more domestic. All told, another miserable installment!

The chuckling cheeseburgers at Fox & Friends broached the topic of Chaz Bono, who injured his knee on Dancing with the Stars. All three hosts cringe at the mention of Chaz's name.

From morning booze at Starbucks to drive-thru booze at Sonic to just being a sad guy drinking booze at Burger King, we are living in a Golden Age of "being able to buy booze at fast food joints rather than being forced to buy booze at the gas station across the street and sneak it into the fast food place in a Big Gulp cup." But will this Golden Age persist?

I tuned into Fox and Steven Spielberg's much-delayed production Terra Nova last night with some trepidation. It was almost a duty to see just what this very expensive sci-fi show was going to be like but I also had a sense it would be sadly predictable and boring. Boy, was I wrong.

Tareq blames everything on Journey, then nuzzles a whoremonger and poses sexily in bed. Naomi Campbell blames her bad personality on abandonment issues. Kate Middleton spends four hours doing her hair. A male TV actor comes out of the closet. Tuesday gossip stopped believin' years ago.
