A tipster just spent her entire lunch hour eavesdropping on SUV-driving PR menace Lizzie Grubman and Elle magazine PR honcho (and The City star) Erin Kaplan at Meatpacking restaurant Pastis. Too bad the tip was a fake.

The White House Correspondents' Association has started letting lowly blogs participate in the White House pool, and now the real journalists are all upset about it.

Congratulations to ...Blakeley for being the first person to answer today's Freeze Frame. Come on, guys! Click for the answer.

Today at Gawker.TV, Martha Stewart talks dirty, we discover the Miley Cyrus doll is a potty-mouth, Justine Bateman tells ghost stories, Neil Patrick Harris is a dirty Frosty the Snowman, and Kermit sluts it up on the Today Show.

Today on Tyra it was all about newfangled health and beauty tips. No quick fix scheme has ever worked before, but these new quick fix products are sure to get results...quick!

The bad thing about yesterday was that state politicians in Albany—the center of heterosexual evil in the Northeast—voted down gay marriage. The shiny silver lining was that we met State Sen. Diane Savino, new speechifying hero of equality!

Tiger Woods knows how to treat a lady right. Here's a sexy song to prove it.

This is a pretty darn cool video from Time Inc. about its forthcoming tablet. Cool, that is, if you can forgive the gratuitous feature for fingering half-naked models.

These colorful characters will instantly become your new reality show best friends when the MTV show about eight guidos in a summer house starts tonight. It's going to be epic. And yes, we will be live blogging the 10pm debut.

Yes, that's right: nobody's won the $1,000 prize for a Nikki Finke photo yet.

The official announcement today that Comcast will take over NBC/Universal marks the greatest counter-revolutionary change in show business history with flyover country now postioned to put its stamp on Hollywood, rather than vice-versa.

America just can't win. We stopped smoking—then we all got fat. So we lipo-sucked all the fat out and put it in our breasts, where it could do some good. Then we got sex-harassed at the gym!

It seems that this show, more than telling scary stories, is an excuse to have mid-level celebrities telling awkward tales about themselves. Last night it was Justine Bateman's turn.

On last night's Whatever, Martha!, Martha Stewart got all hot and bothered watching Bryant Gumbel and herself prepare a turkey. Watching Martha watch Martha seems insanely meta, but how else would you find out she gets off on spice rubs?

Sure you could give someone a doll that sounds like it might be swearing, or you can give someone you don't like a bear that actually hurls insults at them.

Hold onto your hat because Friendster is BACK, y'all! And this time, it's personal. And in their superultracool new video promoting the new ultrasuperawesome site, they somehow manage to look even more outdated.

Former Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fuld has been out of sight for months now. (He's been spending much of his time holed up at his house in Idaho.) His problems, howver, continue, it seems. Over the past year, he's unloaded part of his art collection, sold off his apartment on Park Avenue, and given up his memberships at several high-priced country clubs. And yet he's now a bit behind on the $212,000 property tax bill for his house in Florida— the one, as we first reported, that he flipped to his wife for next to nothing last November. [TDB]

Google's CEO writes in the Wall Street Journal that "frustrated newspaper executives are looking for someone to blame" for their decline, but they shouldn't blame him: His "fantasy news gadget" makes you pay for access to the goods. Freak.

In your terrible Thursday media column: Another print magazine dies, rumors of layoffs at ALM, the Dallas Morning News goes straight to journalism hell, and Town & Country is now officially sexy.

Off-Track Betting, the quasi-public agency that has provided so much joy to this city's population of gambling-addicted, alcoholic miscreants—and turned more than a few neighborhoods into cesspools in the process—has filed for bankruptcy protection and now plans to scale back operations. [NYT]
