It looked innocent enough, but now we hear that the loving, open-handed greeting Sharon Stone bestowed Sunday night on BAFTA-nominated Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel had "cougar attack" written all over it.

It's been two months since we introduced our new look to you, and for the most part, you seem to have embraced it. Still, we get the occasional complaint that the screen looks too cluttered.

In your sumptuous Tuesday media feast: Celebrity mags flounder, interns replace reporters, Ron Burkle's steaming mad, the New Yorker has jokes, and more!

A bunch of nuts from PETA turned up outside Madison Square Garden yesterday dressed as KKK members. Why, exactly? Because the Westminster Dog Show is currently taking place there and the American Kennel Club "promotes pure breeding of dogs that is harmful to their health." So that's what it was about! Unfortunately, no one seems to have handed the demonstrators the solid beating they deserved: "The most common reaction was to pull out a cell phone and start snapping photos."

When rumors broke that T.R. Knight was performing career surgery to extricate himself from Grey's Anatomy, we know some commenters thought, "Shoulda been you, Katherine Heigl." Well, guess what: now it is!

Esquire has a profile of every liberal's favorite Fox News jockey Shep Smith this month. It's cute-ish and funny, but a bit murky. Just who is this guy? Is he friend or foe?

Hollywood may never fully recover from the WGA-strike-plagued awards season of 2008, marred by trophy presentations on Veoh, a potluck Governor's Ball, and—most shocking of all—the complete cancellation of the Vanity Fair party.

We have no idea what the global financial crisis has to do with bowling, but Lucky Strike Lanes & Lounge is using it as a pretext to hand out 1,000 free Metrocards in Midtown next Tuesday. At least that's what the press release says, which you can view yourself below.

That's what the National Enquirer is claiming. The political salt-n-pepper actor has apparently been wooing Fatima Bhutto, a 26-year-old poet and journalist. Let's learn more about her.

In Africa with Diane Sawyer for Nightline, Hayek met a one-year-old who'd been born on the same day as her own daughter Valentina and was so moved by the coincidental bond that she popped out a breast and offered it to the grateful, suckling child. Adults who were born on the same day as Valentina will probably not be as lucky. (Also: Hey, Salma Hayek actually does speak English in a clear and natural manner! If only she could take a tip from real-life Salma's diction instead of hopelessly enunciating her 30 Rock dialogue as though she were a Grammy-addled Whitney Houston.)

Lycée Français de New York honored Dior president Sidney Toledano at its 10th annual gala at 7 World Trade Center on Friday night.

A New Jersey judge has revealed the secret to calling someone a "douchebag": Make it clear you're just kidding! That's why the Honorable Menelaos Toskos cleared the author of Hot Chicks With Douchebags of defamation.

Here's the perfect accessory for those of you who have watched your 401Ks implode in recent months (or those of you who've been watching the market tank this afternoon): The company that brought you that novelty Jesus action figures a few years back is now capitalizing on current events with "Wall Street Victim" figurines. "These poor people represent the emotions many of us went through as we watched our investments plummet to unimaginable lows and then plummet some more," reads the product description. At the rate things are going, though, the company's "Angry Mob Play Set" may end up being a more appropriate purchase in the near future. [McPhee.com]

It didn't take much imagination to see Harvey Weinstein wielding the whip hand two weeks ago when theSlumdog Millionaire backlash commenced. At least not as much imagination as Harvey summoned to deny it.

Last year Pepsi spent several hundred million dollars on a new logo. Everyone figured they had just ripped off the Obama logo. But now an internal document from the branding company has surfaced: Breathtaking bullshit.

Waitress turned self-appointed wealth expert Suze Orman is a terrible person, according to Slate's Big Money. That's because this evil financial sorceress recommends an investing strategy called "dollar-cost averaging." What?

We can't say ET seems an entirely logical place to unveil Inglourious Basterds (Mary Hart: "Looks exciting, Mark! And now from Nazi scalps to Nazi scallops, celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck previews his Oscar menu etcetc.")

However much you might wish to, there's absolutely no escaping the increasingly well-documented trend for men to sport major facial hair (especially if you've recently ventured into Williamsburg, which is like stepping into the Appalachians). Amid all the hype, though, a very important related issue has been neglected, namely, what horrible afflictions might befall a woman obliged to kiss one of these hirsute creatures? "Chafing, eczema or acne brought on by beards isn't that uncommon," says dermatologist Hema Sundaram, and she warns that facial burns that bleed might require antibiotics. We do hope that porcelain-skinned model Jessica Joffe's new romance isn't subjecting her to such horrors!

Alex Rodriguez, the baseball slugger who just confessed to taking banned substances, has at least one less legal headache. He's settled a five-year-old dispute with a carpet installer who claims A-Rod's dog bit him.
