The UN Human Rights Council has a special rapporteur investigating affordable housing conditions in New York, which is depressing, frankly, unless you are Jonah Goldberg, in which case it is hilarious.

Business Insider thought to ask CNBC if they planned on apologizing for the network's epic snafu on Friday, when reporter Jim Goldman misreported Microsoft's announced expense reductions as revenue reductions, news that "bombed" the NASDAQ. Guess what? Nope.

This Glenn Beck tweet links to a blog that has misread a piece of obvious (and terrible) satire, penned by a right-wing talk radio producer. Just like he did last week. They don't even get the unfunny jokes they make themselves!

The New York Times fired Critical Shopper columnist Mike Albo for taking a free junket to Jamaica, in violation of ethics policies. Which might make sense, if the Times itself hadn't specifically cleared him of violating ethics policies.

Here is just the latest example of how a large PR agency can be a huge, huge, huge, hustle, staffed by hustlers, who will charge you too much money to do dumb, simple things, on the internet. Edelman!

the author giving you the justification to just give up trying to read that copy of The Plot Against America that's been on your nightstand for the last two months, in an interview with The Daily Beast via The Guardian.

• Bad news for CNN: The network now occupies fourth (and last) place in the cable news ratings. Not only did it fall behind Fox News and MSNBC in October, it also dropped below its sister network HLN as well. [DF, NYT]
• More bad news for newspapers: Sales were down 10 percent between April and September; the New York Times' weekday circulation has now fallen below 1 million for the first time in two decades. [AP, NYT, AdAge]
• As rumored, Forbes carried out a round of job cuts today. [NYT]
• Ricky Gervais will be the host of the 67th Annual Golden Globes. [LAT]
• If you love Top Chef and Top Chef Masters, you'll be pleased to hear that a third iteration, Top Chef: Just Desserts, will debut on Bravo next year. [THR]
• Rosie O'Donnell's new Sirius XM show debuts next week. Get excited! [USAT]
• Self editor Lucy Danzinger has no need for the Town Cars normally provided to Condé Nast editors. After she's finished running six miles in Central Park in the morning, Condé's bravest editor straps on a helmet and bikes to work! (Except when it's snowing or she has an important meeting, of course.) [NYT]

That's right, little Camille is finally legal. How did she celebrate? With a birthday bash that any teenage boy would love. Strippers, costumes, necking! Girl knows how to party.

A New Jersey neurosurgeon named Gregory Przybylski is the proud new owner of Bernie Madoff's Mercedes station wagon. The fun-loving doc scooped up the vehicle (which he says is "a part of history") for $14,250 at a government auction last Friday. Meanwhile, the RV that once belonged to fraudster Sam Israel was auctioned off as well, selling to a Brooklyn car dealer for $27,500. [NYP]

Nikki Finke officially crosses the Forgetting Who She Is Rubicon in one groundbreaking headline.

Yahoo finally shuttered Geocities today. Acquired in 1999, Geocities was one of the costliest dot-com duds of of all time: $3.5 billion for an ugly, cash-bleeding homepage hosting service. And to think Google's founders were simultaneously begging server funds.

David Spade, a real human with a real human heart, is so wounded by the criticism of his new ad "starring" his dead pal Chris Farley that he's come forth with a heartfelt statement from his flack.

So. What is crazy accidental Illinois Senator Roland Burris up to, these days? Oh, just Senate stuff, you know. Talking about health care. Giving speeches. Asking utterly insane questions at pointless hearings about imaginary Czars.

For the first time since 1995, the Golden Globes awards will have a host, and that host will be idiosyncratic British comedy star Ricky Gervais.

So the official wedding pics of Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump are all over the internet. Boring, right? Yes. If you can make them better, we'll pay you.
