Jeanne-Claude, the artist who, along with her husband Christo, turned Central Park into a sea of orange for two weeks in 2005 for no other reason than it looked super cool, has died. She was 74. [NYT]

Falling off the wagon can be dangerous, especially for a violent drunk. Not nearly as bad, there's a pudgy pregnant actress and a hunky star with a lesbian girlfriend. Let's circle those wagons, folks, and start guessing.

Watch. Smile. Repeat. It'll make your day better. Promise.

FAA computer glitch is causing massive flight delays, cancellations. Good luck at the airport today.

Some people freak out when a bloodthirsty cameraman from TMZ approaches them, sticks a camera in their face, and fires off a round of zany questions. Tim Gunn handled himself with typical aplomb when a paparazzo picked up his trail at LAX yesterday.

It is en vogue to say that Craig Ferguson is the best late night host on TV right now. And for good reason. He uses a reptilian puppet to interview his guests.

If you're a sexxxy lady, reactionary New York Post sex columnist Andrea Peyser will rhapsodize about your long, smooth legs. But if you're an ugly, fat, liberal lady (by Peyser standards), Andrea Peyser wishes you death. Lonely, ugly, fat death.

• Another one of the 15 homes around the world that Nic Cage picked up in recent years has been turned over to a new owner. Cage has closed on the sale of his 48th-floor condo at the Olympic Tower, albeit for quite a bit less than he'd been hoping to get. The 3,550-square-foot apartment, which had been listed for $9.75 million when it went into contract last month, reportedly ended up selling for $7.5 million. [NYP]
• Fortress Investment Group co-founder—and former billionaire—Randal Nardone has dropped the price of his condo at 240 Riverside Boulevard for the second time since he put it on the market for $11.75 million in February. Nardone, who plunked down $22 million for a pad at 101 Warren Street last year, is now asking for $9.2 million for the place. [Cityfile, Corcoran]

The AP's layoffs continued yesterday. Small AP bureaus seem particularly vulnerable. We updated our comprehensive AP Layoff List this morning with several new tips we received overnight, and we'll continue to update today as new info comes in. [The List]

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

AOL announced today that it plans to shed one-third of its workforce, or 2,300 jobs, as it prepares to be spun off by its parent company, Time Warner. The most ironic part? The man most responsible for uniting AOL and Time Warner in what has since turned out to be the most ill-advised merger in history, is the happiest he's been in years. Steve Case, AOL's co-founder, just sold his Paypal also-ran, Revolution Money, yesterday to American Express for $300 million. [Bloomberg, NYT]

All the papers trumpet the cost of the Senate healthcare bill, released today. It's the dumbest thing they've done in a while (and the Post gave away Madoff's shirts the other day).

• Down-and-out former pageant queen Carrie Prejean must be getting really desperate: She's turning to Donald Trump for career advice. Trump suggested she "become a major porn star," make tons of cash and then "give it to worthy causes." Clearly, it's this type of forward thinking that has made Trump the business titan he is. [P6]
• Nic Cage's lawyer now says the countersuit by the actor's former business manager—Samuel Levin claims he warned Cage about his "compulsive, self-destructive spending" years ago—is "ridiculous." As for Cage himself, he's in Somalia right now facing down evil pirates since he's under the impression that his life is one big action movie, but says he'll sort everything out once he gets back to the States. [P6]
• Lou Dobbs is taking a vacation now that he's no longer with CNN. Mexico is not on his travel itinerary, in case you were wondering. [NYP]
• Larry King's 10-year-old son is the luckiest boy in all of Los Angeles today: He's been signed to host his own cable TV show. Ain't nepotism grand? [TMZ]
• Amy Winehouse's dad says his daughter's new breast implants are leaking, which is why she's been in the hospital recently. But presumably that's to be expected if you poke yourself with needles all day, no? [Sun]

Mark Sanford, the South Carolina governor who coined the best euphemism of the year when told aides he was "hiking the Appalachian trail" as an excuse for doinking an Argentinian woman who was not his wife, faces questioning.

A new CIA secret prison has been found. In a luxury horseriding center in Lithuania. Hey, just because you're detaining people illegally and torturing them doesn't mean you can't enjoy some nice surroundings.

Last night the President sat down for an interview with Major Garrett on Fox . Garrett began savagely beating him with a sackful of copies of Going Rogue. Not really! It was quite civil. Although a little strained at times.

Levi Johnston and his 'handler' Tank Jones personally snubbed Page Six boss Richard Johnson at the Fleshbot awards. The next day an unflattering item ran in the column. Today, it gets worse for the young Alaskan.

Doug Hoffman was the ultra-conservative candidate that Sarah Palin, Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity backed in an election upstate. The district then went Democrat for the first time in 200 years. But don't worry, it was all an ACORN conspiracy.
