Well-known fact: Hero naval captain Richard Phillips is the biggest hero next to Sully, due to his heroic act of getting rescued from Somali pirate hijackers. So why is his ungrateful crew staging a retroactive mutiny?

Can you guess what movie this image comes from? Check back for the answer at 4pm today.

• Interior designer James Huniford (left) has sold his townhouse at 26 Bank Street. The 3,822-square-foot home, which Huniford bought for $5.18 million in 2005 and listed for $8.2 million in June, sold for $7.25 million to Jocelyn C. White and Annabel Catherine White. [Cityfile]
• Former Dateline co-anchor Stone Phillips has put his 4,100-square-foot apartment at 8 West 19th Street on the market. The three-bedroom spread, which comes with library and soundproof media room, is listed for $4.995. Phillips paid $4.45 million for the place back in 2005. [NYP, Corcoran]
• Shopping center mogul Murray Goodman isn't giving up on his duplex at 960 Fifth Avenue. The 5,300-square-foot co-op, which Goodman first listed for $32.5 million in January, has since gone down in price four times since then. It's now down to $25.6 million, although that's still $24.2 million more than what Goodman paid for the place back in 1981. [Cityfile, Sotheby's]

If you like Afghanistan, golf or money (and pretty much everyone likes one of those things) today is a good day on the front pages for you. If you are Tiger Woods however, it's best that you read a book.

The always amusing Michael Musto of the Village Voice celebrates his 54th birthday today. Julianne Moore is turning 49. Daryl Hannah is turning 49, too. Actress Amanda Seyfried is 24. Ozzy Osbourne is turning 61. French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard is 79. Actor Brendan Fraser is turning 41. Retired Olympic figure skater Katarina Witt is 44. Freaky televangelist Benny Hinn is 57. And infamous polygamist Warren Jeffs turns 54 today.

• It's been a busy 24 hours for Tiger Woods. Just after admitting he'd "let his family down" yesterday, a voicemail he apparently left for alleged mistress Jaimee Grubbs surfaced and put a nail in his adulterous coffin. Now Rachel Uchitel, one of the other women he supposedly was involved with, is coming clean about her affair and will be giving a press conference later today. [TMZ, NYP]
• Meanwhile, Tiger and wife Elin are supposedly in "intense" marriage counseling. They're also in intense discussions with their lawyers, apparently. Rumor has it they're renegotiating their pre-nup and Elin may collect a "hefty seven-figure amount" if she agrees to stay with him. [CST, Us]
• Tinsley Mortimer's family sounds more white trash than high society. Her mom, Dale Mercer, got into a shoving match recently with the woman who's been dating her ex-husband. George Mercer—Tinsley's dad—says the 29-year-old woman, Krissy Morrow, is merely his "escort" and he's never even kissed her. But Krissy says she married Mercer last month. George says the marriage didn't count since he was "drunk as [expletive]" at the time and because he's married to someone else anyway. Let's hope all this nonsense—like the report Tinsley was seen making out with Constantine Maroulis on Tuesday night—is just another PR stunt for her reality show. [P6]

Lindsay Lohan's Rashomon-like love life takes three different turns in one day, Tiger Mistress #1 prepares to tell all, and the Salahis cancel Christmas. Come bathe in a sea of Thursday's gossip.

Tiger Woods is not the only one sexting. The Associated Press and MTV did a poll of teenagers and 'the young' to find out how much they sext. More than quarter fessed up and shared the details.

Sarah Palin would like to be referred to only as Governor, and dislikes foreign languages.

Oh, those Salahis. First they gatecrash the White House. Then they go on the teevee and say they didn't. Then it comes out they did, in fact. And now they may not accept an invitation to Congress to answer questions.

Men do not have breasts. But our chests are beautiful creatures in their own right, which is probably why the man-cleavage, or heavage, is taking America by storm. We are apparently in a new "golden age of male chest hair."

After moving to L.A., this hypersexual British socialite and reality TV star couldn't land a headline, no matter how many nips she slipped or how much body paint she wore. Then, Casey Johnson planted a sex toy in her bed.

Hollywood gays: Stay in the closet! That's what Rupert Everett ("Another Country," "My Best Friend's Wedding") told the UK's Guardian. Even though you may be happier in the end, your career will suck, which is the most important thing.

New York Times brass is publicly hinting that its 70 (!) blogs will soon be culled to a less absurd number. Worried your favorite will be killed? We've handicapped the survival chances of eight blogs for your convenience.

She started the year with the now infamous giant ribboned hat and finished it off by performing "Joy to the World" in a giant fur headwrap. What could she bring to the world in 2010?

It's like how Jesus is always appearing in pieces of toast in Argentina! Change we can eat and stare at the ceiling for hours on. Thank God this didn't come out during the election. [Boing Boing]

It's Top Chef penultimate episode time, which means we decamp to a new locale. So we're leaving Las Vegas and its lights so bright, palm sweat, and blackjack on a Saturday night. And good riddance, Palm Sweat City!

The new magazine landscape: Gourmet is gone; Vice has become an ad agency; a travel website meant to be a refuge for laid-off print journalists is tanking. Basically one good magazine job remains: Editor-In-Chief of World of Warcraft: The Magazine.
