David Paterson to seriously consider bowing out of the race for governor, since the president and his advisers don't think he has a chance of winning next fall, especially if he goes up against Rudy Giuliani. Paterson rejected the suggestion yesterday, and indicated he plans to move ahead with his campaign. This morning the two men came face to face when the president touched down in Albany to deliver an economic address at a nearby college. So how did that go? It was a little bit awkward, not surprisingly:

Last November, New Yorkers were greeted one morning with a Fake New York Times, produced by pinkos. Today the same people—The Yes Men—have dropped a Fake New York Post on the city. Let's look, then!

The catchphrase of the night was "pulling a Kanye," naturally. [People, Us]
• Mischa Barton just isn't a morning person... or perhaps she's having dental issues again. A source from her CW show, The Beautiful Life, says she's often so out of it in the mornings that she holds up filming, and she'll stare into her coffee for minutes on end, mumbling, "Who will fix my coffee? I need someone to fix my coffee." [P6]

I just wanted to get out of there." [P6]

Disgraced, impeached Illinois governor and media joker Rod Blagojevich thinks he would do well in New York because no one has yet told him to go fuck himself. Not to his face, at least. [New Yorker]

Obama thinks that ACORN should be investigated for that whole pimp video thing.

Courtney Love may or may not have been spotted peeing. Mischa Barton may or may not live in reality. And David Hasselhoff definitely got drunk. Welcome to your Monday morning Gossip Roundup!

When Katie Couric took over CBS Evening News, everyone thought she would fail. But she hasn't. In fact, she's being praised for her poise, grace and interview style. And now producers want to make her bigger, stronger and more popular.

Whitley Strieber, author of The Hunger and Nature's End, has signed with Gersh Agency.

Take that, Dick Cheney! Federal officials this weekend made three arrests in an interstate terror investigation. Sure, it's good news for democracy, freedom and the such, but it could be great news for President Obama.

The world's absolutely abuzz over news about the Emmy Awards, which are kind of like television's Oscars and very important. In case you missed them, here are some things you should know about the winners, the losers and the critics.

It's the moment we've all marginally aware of: Zooey Deschanel and Death Cab for Cutie singer Ben Gibbard are officially married. The couple, who may be queen and king of indie land, did the deed in Washington state. Appropriate. [People]

The Office is one of those shows where you get jealous of the fun they seem to be having with each other on set, and tonight's cold open lip-dub was a perfect example.

In grand Floridian style, a priest has been accused of knocking up an ex-stripper.

Fox News has been accused of riling up winguts for the wacky, psychotic 9/12 protests. And while Glenn Beck and company deny such antics, there's now proof. We're nearly speechless...

Sigh. What's going on here? First there was poor Annie Le's murder at Yale. And now there's another murder an equally storied spot: New York's ritzy Essex Hotel. It's gruesome, sad and mind-bogglingly familiar.
