Long-running soap Guiding Light airs its final episode next month, which means fictional lesbian couple Olivia and Natalia will be no more. The actresses behind the sapphic duo, however, are (ingeniously) using the web to keep their love alive. Hoorah!

We got what we expected from alleged Hannibal Lecter stand-in and Vogue editor Anna Wintour appearance on The Late Show: a staid, polite exchange. Regardless, it only made us love Wintour more — and she actually came off looking good.

The British government may soon outlaw "legal" highs, like chemical-laced synthetic "cannabinoids," which mimic the effects of good old fashioned marijuana. Well, doesn't that in and of itself tell you something? Nature beats man. [BBC]

Bill O'Reilly and Spike Lee are very different people. One's white. One's black. One's liberal. The other's conservative. One's a director who touches on controversial topics and the other's a controversial television personality. But they both use urinals. Sometimes together!

Flickr deleted a controversial Barack Obama caricature; it nuked thousands of pictures over some comments about Obama. What sort of political expression is allowed on the Yahoo photo-sharing service? Unclear: Flickr decided a conversation on the topic was... not allowed.

We had a mole inside the Late Show's studio audience today, and it sounds like Anna Wintour will reinforce her reputation when the program airs in several hours: Stiff, cool and sharp-tongued.

The L.A. County coroner has ruled the King of Pop's death was caused by an overdose of anesthetic. Today's screaming headlines aside, the trial about one doctor's incompetence sounds more sad than sensational.

Harvey Pekar is Twittering via surrogate, an advice columnist is complimenting herself via email archive and a radio producer is turning a movie theater into her own personal catwalk. The Twitterati are doing a little role playing.

August 24 @ 3:45pm [Submit your own Gawker Stalker sightings to stalker@gawker.com] Tottering down the street on super platform sandals bleating into a cellphone. Her crazy eyes were fully visible and her pupils were basically spinning.

Kari Ann Peniche, whose naked playtime with Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart we posted last week is going on E! to talk about the scandal. Meanwhile, her bosom bathing buddies hit the road to get out of the paparazzi's eye.

Philly pseudofameball Arthur Kade is constantly forced to top his own previous heights of assholedom just to maintain his ongoing performance art project. He does this by appearing ever more insane. Taint hair complaints are okay; but this is sublime:

One guy is really "burning up the blogs" with some "controversial wishes for the President," according to MSNBC. Hey, a great excuse to publicize yet more crazy death threats against Barack Obama!

You've heard of the "staycation." One more travel trend that is now benefiting from the recession, at least according to spin doctor Mark Penn: glamping. For people who don't have any interest in going camping and actually roughing in, but can't really afford to stay in a $650 a night hotel room in Europe for a week, glamping—or glamorous camping—is all the rage, Penn says.

Tonight The Rachel Zoe Project returns to Bravo, which means that evil assistant Taylor Jacobson comes with it. There is a "Taylor" in every office making life hell for everyone, and for that, she must be punished.

Photography Lounge wondered which of Silicon Valley's two hottest startups had the coolest office. A better question: If Twitter and Facebook are such game-changers, why do their staff work in such depressingly old-fashioned conditions?
