Rowland apparently started something called Project Migration this past summer. The organization sells products "made by single mothers in Africa;" proceeds ostensibly help improve their water supply and health care. And, what do you know, this effort just happens to require a professional photo shoot starring one Hilary Rowland (see attached video), which the sometime model just happened promote to her public Facebook wall:

Every day at this leftist gay gossip site, Gawker, I write a "Recessionomics" column, which is like John Maynard Keynes after a massive head injury, but before he learned anything about economics. Finally, Rush Limbaugh has endorsed its econometrical findings.

New York's former top cop languishes in jail, but you can revisit the highlights of his life and some private moments on his voluminous Flickr page, which for some reason exists. That's Kerik doing martial arts in Korea in 1975.

What the hell was going on on The View today?! Bill O'Reilly was dressed as Count Floyd. Barbara Walters was possibly Lydia Deetz. O'Reilly argued with Whoopi about his book. Then O'Reilly got booed for dissing Rosie. But... why?

Graydon Carter—the George Washington of Vanity Fair—was (allegedly) on a jet to Bermuda when layoffs hit the magazine last week. That's okay! Graydon (allegedly) has a very generous way of making it up to the layoff victims.

• Will new talk shows hosted by Wanda Sykes, George Lopez, and Mo'Nique revive the late night format? Probably not, but they're going to try. [WSJ]

Project Runway is all about vision and delusion. The vision to have a vision. The delusion to repeat that vision with a new vision. The vision of inspiration, the delusion that vision can be your inspiration. Ah, so confused!

Historically, big tech companies start building new gigantic corporate campus instead right before they implode. Oh, look: Yahoo's drawing up plans for a 42-acre project and hadn't laying off thousands of workers.

In your finally Friday media column: BBC execs must struggle by on $150k, Michael Wolff looks in the mirror and compliments himself, rumors of office closures at Newsweek, and more on the Time Inc. layoffs.

The success of New York Times business reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin's tome Too Big to Fail has provoked a debate in the fractious newsroom: is he a plugged-in wunderkind or an in-over-his-head cub reporter who mooches off his veteran colleagues?

Not everyone is unhappy about the recession, apparently. In a recent poll, one in four people said they were happy that the economic downturn took place because it helped them "realize their priorities in life." [Reuters]

Did you hear the breaking news? Nancy Pelosi's socialist health care bill is almost as long as Infinite Jest! And that means it is bad. It is a bad bill, because good bills are short.

Who amputated Google? For one Gawker editor's laptop, running Firefox and Windows, the buttons for "Google Search" and "I'm Feeling Lucky" were amputated from Google.com. Instead, there's this taunting minimalist slogan:

The gods of Hollywood do not like change. At all. So when Harvey Weinstein did the unthinkable and moved a hit show to another network, we knew it was only a matter of time until their wrath would be appeased.

It's been a busy month for Bethenny Frankel. First she got engaged to her boyfriend Jason Hoppy; then, a couple of weeks ago, she confirmed she's a little more than two months pregnant. With the Real Housewives of New York City currently filming its third season, we thought it would be worthwhile to get some parenting advice for the mom-to-be from one of her costars. So, naturally, we reached out to model-cum-designer Kelly Killoren Bensimon—a mom with two daughters of her own, Sea, 11, and Teddy, nine—to offer parenting tips for Bethenny. Kelly's advice, thoughts on women who breast-feed in public, and why she wears shorter skirts now than ever before is below. Join us, won't you?

God damn teenagers: they're going to (community) college in record numbers. Also they're finishing high school in record numbers, because why not?

Politico—it is a tiny niche newspaper in DC with a money-losing website—is expanding! They are going to do a "local news" thing out there in Washington, where "local news" means "The Redskins."

If you loved the idea of a Hermès-branded helicopter, you're going to be thrilled to hear that Ferrari is now in talks to stamp its name of a line of luxury homes. If the deal goes through, you'd have to move to Abu Dhabi to actually be able to move into a house with a prancing horse statue on the roof. But that may not be such a bad thing considering you'd be close to the long-delayed Ferrari indoor amusement park that, when finished, will boast the world's fastest roller coaster.

We warned you against a bunch of "topical" Halloween costumes to avoid because they were going to be played-out and everyone would wear them. Well, Regis and Kelly ignored all our advice and dressed up as every one.
