Ellen Barkin sued ex-husband Ron Perelman in 2007 shortly after the couple divorced. (She claimed the temperamental tycoon had promised to finance her film production company, but then never followed through with it.) The verdict is in and Barkin is $3.4 million richer as of today. And Perelman is now only worth $9.996 billion, poor thing. [Gawker]

This is the man who brought Newark to a standstill on Sunday when he walked past a chatty TSA agent and made his way into a secure section of the terminal. (The "dopey lothario" was on his way to hook up with a woman, apparently.) Do you recognize him? Would you recognize your own father if the photo in question was this blurry? Probably not, but on the off chance that you do, you're advised to get in touch with law enforcement immediately. He could be picking up ladies at public transportation facilities this very minute.
