Entertainment Weekly's recent article on The Reader's Oscar chances featured a funny/sad quote by Harvey Weinstein, in which he compared himself to Billy the Kid. It's been a popular quote! Because it's very silly.

We could make some clever comment about the economy, but we'll spare you. Take our survey, and someone will win a $300 AMEX card. Survey ends Wednesday at 6pm EST, so get at it. [Rules]

Let's say you just launched a new product line, or opened a small boutique. You desperately need to advertise your company, but you don't have the cash to buy ads in magazines or plaster billboards across town. What to do? The website Public Ad Campaign created an instructional video that explains how to open up break open a New York City phone booth, remove the silly poster for Verizon or Burger King or whatever, and replace it with a poster of your own. Yes, of course, it's totally illegal—and you'll need a bunch of tools to do it—but as evidenced by the video below, it's not like passerby will pay you any mind while to carry out your guerrilla ad campaign.

Aaron Bruns, a Fox News producer previously best known for following Hillary Clinton on the 2008 campaign trail, has been arrested for possession of child porn, TVNewser reports. The network has suspended him without pay.

The trailer above is just a sampling of the vaguely lesbionic tussling that can be found in Polanski's short film Greed, which is exclusively showing over at Dazed Digital. The project is the latest work from artist Francesco Vezzoli, who's known for creating trailers, premieres, and now a perfume ad for products that don't actually exist (you may remember his fake coming attraction for a Caligula remake starring Courtney Love, Benicio del Toro, and Helen Mirren). Finally, we've found a plausible explanation of the trailer for Crank 2: High Voltage!

Do you listen to satellite radio? Do you find Howard Stern's antics amusing? Do you have some spare change buried in your couch? Get to work. Unless Sirius XM finds a buyer in the next few days, the company will probably file for bankruptcy protection "within days." [NYT]

Press release of the day: Do you care deeply about landmine victims, and also about your own personal cleanliness? Now you can combine those two interests, with the world's grimmest bar of soap:

They honor our drunken Cinderellas, and they humor our aging, slap-happy sirens. But when it comes to allowing the Paul Blart: Mall Cop phenomenon through customs this weekend, the British resistance has spoken.

No one has seen ailing Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro in public since 2006, when he handed over power to his brother Raul. But from his sickbed, he's penning weird musings about Rahm Emanuel's surname.

Tara picked up, if they add "soul-diva, syndicated-TV-judge alter-egos." [THR]

This cruel Grim Reaper of an economy has gone too far. It came for magazines. It came for books. It came for banks. But now, it has come for our Muzak.

It's every actor's (and visual-aid-friendly comedian's) dream: James Schamus calls you up out of the blue, and asks you to come in for a "general meeting."

Oh, dear god: The Obama White House is liveblogging itself. What's the point of liveblogging this stuff ourselves when we can just read this stuff in our pajamas?

• After 36 years in business, La Goulue is closing on April 5th. [NYT]
• Justin Timberlake is not involved with Southern Hospitality. Got it? [People]
• Sasha Petraske's Dutch Kills is opening in the next two weeks. [Gothamist]
• Looking for a cheap V-Day dinner? How about White Castle? [B&B via Eater]
• A bunch of restaurants have removed peanut butter from the menu. [NYT]
• It's not going to earn any points for the food, but Travel + Leisure has named Delicatessen the best-designed restaurant in its annual design awards. [T+L]

There's nothing funny about the allegations that Chris Brown may have attacked Rihanna, but at least the proceedings received a long-overdue dose of Hollywood lunacy over the past twenty-four hours.

First Lady Michelle Obama will be featured on the cover of the March Vogue, photographed by (sigh) Annie Leibovitz. Because she's a new fashion icon, of sorts.

It's all our fault! We thought it was pathetically hilarious that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel lived in a basement apartment on Capitol Hill. But right-wingers want to make it a tax scandal.

In the March Harper's there's an article about last fall's Frankfurt Book Fair, where the publishing industry gathered to bemoan its recession-era fate. Will a world with poorer authors really make publishing more pure?
