This morning former NYT food critic and media tour-taker Frank Bruni revealed the secret aliases he used, for reviewing restaurants! Way too late to matter. But we must know everything, from his bulimic childhood to his fraudulent credit card details.

In September, Yahoo touted Firefox to Internet Explorer users as a "safer" browser. Now it's doing just the opposite. Funny what an innocent little "search agreement" can do to one's perception of the world. [TechCrunch]

Of course, the Taliban have reportedly executed a couple people for voting and rocket attacks have killed a couple more people, but on the whole it is a very proud day for Afghanistan.

Björk and Matthew Barney have put their West Houston Street apartment up for sale now that the couple is relocating to Brooklyn Heights. But that's not the only property the quirky Icelandic singer and avant-garde artist are looking to dispose of, it seems. Björk's home in Snedens Landing, the tiny hamlet in Rockland County overlooking the Hudson River, is also available to buy ($1.8 million) or rent ($7,000 a month).

Backstabbing! Scandal! Lawsuits! And that's before season six of Runway even hit the air. It's been a long slog to get this season on the tube. So, what to expect? Plus, the finalists (we think)!

Saludos! My name is Joshua David Stein. Last night Top Chef Las Vegas premiered. I'm still struggling to make sense of it. Let's struggle together.

You may have been thinking the fact that you were laid off recently gave you a pretty good excuse to sleep in a little bit late, occasionally spend the mornings in your pajamas, and maybe even go an entire day without showering.

Sheila Bair, the head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, may not be worthy of coverage in the eyes of Vogue editor Anna Wintour. But maybe she can take some comfort from Forbes' new "100 Most Powerful Women" list. Bair comes in at No. 2, right behind German Chancellor Angela Merkel, who nabbed the top spot for the fourth straight year. [Forbes, NYDN]

Hero Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, who bravely took a beating from a violent thug after intervening to help an innocent citizen, is speaking, humbly! He says everyone would have done what he did. Go on you, tell us another one!
