Have you heard that Twitter is the future of news? If so, we're in for a world where Apple's introduction of a copy-and-paste feature for the iPhone is the most important news ever.

In your socialist Tuesday media column: Nancy Pelosi helps newspapers (symbolically), Courtney Friel says "OMG," rumors of cheapskatism at Interview, and naptime for Jim Kelly:

Just because there was bad news today doesn't mean you can't remind people that there's a little good news to report, too, right? The full release below.

Our long regional nightmare is over. The City has ended. MTV's New York City-set Hills spin-off sputtered and died weeks ago, but they've finally hauled its carcass across the finish line. Let's dissect.

Bad days for MySpace CEO Chris DeWolfe: A tell-all book about the lowbrow social network's shady origins is hitting the shelves as a Wall Street analyst predicts layoffs. How long will he last?

There's been a flurry of activity at 75 Wall Street lately. But not the good kind! Over the past few months, condo buyers have been filing suit to extricate themselves from contracts they signed during the boom times, demanding that developers return the down payments they put down when the apartments were worth 30 or 40 percent more than they're worth today. One of the buildings particularly under siege right now: 75 Wall, the David Rockwell-designed condo conversion that has adopted some of the most desperate tactics to drum up buyers in recent weeks. The building's developer, the Hakimian Organization, is now facing three separate suits from people now seeking an out, all filed by the New Jersey law firm of Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer. Whether any of them end up getting their money back remains to be seen. In the meantime, you can look over the suits for yourself after the jump.

Conde Nast could really use some good news. Instead, today's news is that the company is planning cuts in its media group, which handles its biggest advertisers and marketers. That's even worse than it sounds.

After originally reporting that Natasha Richardson had died, Time Out New York is now reporting that the actress, who was in a skiing accident yesterday, is not expected to survive her injuries.

If we're in the middle of a deep recession, no one has bothered to mention it to the management of The Pierre. The iconic hotel is reopening on June 1 after a lengthy renovation but it has no plans to adjust its prices for the downturn in the economy: A "classic room" will run $816 a night and suites are available for $1,640. Hurry up! These prices are only available if you book now; the hotel says it plans to raise them just as soon as the hotel opens. The very generous introductory special doesn't explain why the reservations line is currently picking up on the first ring, but, hey, it could have just been rare moment of downtime.

Ohh Hoda Kotb. The perpetually drunk Today Show hostess was celebrating St. Paddy's day pretty hard on-air this morning. Over at CBS, they were only pretending to drink. Take a cue, Hodes.

Here's an accessory that Andrew Cuomo should really consider keeping around the office so he's prepared the next time he grills another Wall Street CEO: the Truth Wristband Kit that was just released by Make magazine. How does it work? "The wearable device dynamically reflects your psycho-emotional response to the world, promoting internal states to be externalized and made into interactive forms of expression. Measuring the galvanic skin response (a marker of emotional arousal commonly used in lie detector tests), this device's lights turn from blue to red as the wearer becomes aroused." In other words, Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis and the boys at AIG don't stand a chance. [Make]

AIG bonus-getter wore a Che T-shirt because he burned capitalism to the ground.

Why is Jake Tapper profiling Paul Rudd and talking about Bromance? Because he can and because there's not much happening on the White House beat these days anyway. Suck it, Chuck Todd!

British former reality TV star and current terminal cancer patient Jade Goody is a national obsession. She will die soon. But not soon enough for OK! magazine.

Sweet merciful crap it's back. Ye TV Gods finally bestowed another installment of Gossip Girl upon us, having kept us wanting for nigh on a month. So was this long-awaited episode good??? Nah.

Less than a week after Shep Smith's cruel on-air mocking of his colleague Glenn Beck, Dennis Miller last night told Bill O'Reilly that Beck "makes Howard Beale look like John Wayne."

Andrew Cuomo has some fresh detail on where all those AIG bonuses were directed: The attorney general says 73 employees of the company received more than $1 million and one lucky AIGer took home a $6.4 million bonus. Sadly, he didn't list the recipients by name, so you won't be able to go over to their homes and ask for your money back. Not yet, at least. [NYT/Dealbook]

Huffpo-er Jeremy Abelson interviewed famous American Julia Allison about how her "brand" will "make money." Not to get too technical, but it involves having people pay her for...stuff, that she does.
