In your motivated Tuesday media column: Free weed with magazine subscriptions, Incisive Media gets all 'Up With People' and shit, Jason Horowitz gets a new job, and Roger Ebert picks up a chip.

Remember the good ol' days of 2006 when people were plunking down millions of dollars for penthouse apartments at the Plaza sight unseen? Those days have long since passed, of course. Fortunately, there's always the continued litigation to keep the memory alive. [NYS Supreme Court]

We thought the Late Show portion of Anna Wintour's Make-People-Like-Me-Before-My-Contract-Is-Up Tour 2009 would be a disaster. Until Letterman asked about The Devil Wears Prada. Then we knew she was safe, because she could never come off worse than Miranda Priestly.

The grunge princess has long terrorized the world and the English language with her ramblings on MySpace and Twitter. She's the first celeb sued saying something on Twitter, but now the fight is getting personal—and ugly!

We're not sure how to break this to you. So we'll just say it: People in China go to Ikea just to hang out. And sleep on the beds.

The new chairman of the New York Fed is not a banker or financier! It is Denis Hughes, the president of the New York State AFL-CIO. And the deputy chairman is Columbia University President Lee Bollinger! Crazy! [WP]

Last Friday, David Paterson insinuated that he was the victim of racial bias, suggesting that a racially motivated campaign had been organized to keep him from running for governor this fall. A good deal of criticism immediately followed (and today Paterson attempted to back away from his remarks). But if Paterson had been planning to stick with that line of attack over the weekend and possibly coordinate a march on Albany with Al Sharpton, well, that doesn't appear to have been on his agenda. A few hours after raising the race issue on Friday, he cruised out to Water Mill to attend a country western-themed fundraiser at the home of author Jay McInerney and heiress Anne Hearst, where he had an opportunity to play a little charity blackjack with the likes of Kathy Hilton and Countess Luann de Lesseps. And you were thinking that the Hamptons tended to be exclusionary! A few more photos of Gov. Paterson's fun-filled Friday night below.

Steve Jobs really is getting better! Rumors that the Apple CEO is being an impossible bastard to his staff have been confirmed by the Wall Street Journal, to whom said staff leaked details of their torment. Old Steve is back.

It's almost time: time for Tucker fuckin' Max to unleash his movie ["One of the best comedies released over the past generation."—Tucker Max] on the world. You know who thinks this movie is fuckin' awesome? Tucker fuckin' Max.

The real estate market has recovered, clearly: Home prices in 20 American cities only declined 15.4 percent during the month of June as compared to a year earlier. But that's a slight improvement from the month of May, so we must be headed in the right direction. Right? Hello? [Daily Finance]

Wanna spend eternity on top of Marilyn Monroe? The widow who owns the crypt in the mausoleum above the star's final resting place has put the plot up on eBay, even though her husband is interred there. Creepy!

Wikipedia, once an internet free-for-all, has announced it will now screen changes to certain articles. The New York Times' ethics columnist, meanwhile, is joining the eternal backlash against anonymous blogging. Two steps toward a nice, peaceful, boring and neutered internet.

Steve Rattner has some company today: One more prominent Upper East Side financier and Democratic mega-fundraiser is now facing an embarrassing financial scandal. Hassan Nemazee, who served as the New York finance chairman for John Kerry's presidential campaign in 2004 and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for Hillary Clinton and, later, Barack Obama, was arrested on charges he "tricked" Citigroup into lending him as much as $74 million using phony documents. Nemazee was charged with one count of bank fraud and is expected to appear in federal court this afternoon. Although judging by some of Nemazee's shady political tactics over the years, it's possible that this wasn't first time he's forged a document or two. [Bloomberg]

Yesterday, we asked: "What's up with Arizona?" And we asked because of Steve Anderson, the Baptist preacher who prays for Jesus to kill the president and thinks gays should get the death penalty.

Famed Madoff affair-haver Sheryl Weinstein demonstrates the rapid motion that earned Bernie Madoff the nickname "Winky Dink." So when does she whip it out?

A homeless woman has landed a (coveted?) four-month internship with Elle magazine, proving that unemployed journalists need only fall a *little* farther to get "back in the game."

Aug. 25 @ 7:45am [Submit your own Gawker Stalker sightings to stalker@gawker.com] I stood in line at Starbucks Astor Place behind Anna Wintour and her husband J. Shelby Bryant. They both ordered cappuccinos.
