1/17 — Ran into STEPHEN BALDWIN on Saturday evening at the Starbucks on Park Avenue across from Albertsons. It didn't even occur to me that it was him when he first passed me, because he was way chunkier than I expected, more heavily tatted than I remembered, and semi-concealed beneath a beanie and ski pants from his trip up the hill. But as I left he was posing for pictures with other tourists and locals who did recognize him, so I guess it was him. Not quite Canada, SB, please keep moving.

First the Vogue documentary, The September Issue, had its Sundance premiere in Salt Lake City. Now we learn that Anna Wintour had to fly coach to get there. When will the insults stop?

New York Times faux-trend specialist Allen Salkin's dad knew Bernie Madoff in college. Sort of. Other than that, the only thing you'll learn from this piece is that Salkin's dad loves cream cheese.

How desperate is the New York Times for cash? So desperate that the company's talking with shady Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim, already the fourth-largest shareholder, to give them "several hundred million dollars" more.

"Hero of the Hudson" this, "Pilot Saved Them All" that. Did everyone around here forget the co-pilot usually has the harder job in a crash-landing?

It's time for another sampling of the weirdest overheard quotes and anecdotes from Sundance—but unlike yesterday's edition, this installment features a cameo from none other than Mariah Carey.

What distinguishes Push: Based on a Novel By Sapphire from every other Sundance movie? Let's start with Mariah Carey sporting the faintest hint of a mustache and go from there.

1. Star Gael Garcia Bernal is utterly adorable in person, and may very well fit in one's front pocket.

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow once said that if she wasn't a broadcast host she'd "try to find a way to professionally bully people about what they drink." She'd be good at it!

Today's New York Post calls for death to all geese in New York City. Haha, we thought, until we remembered all the other funny Post front pages that got us into a war.

I don't know about you, but I am pooping kittens in anticipation of Wednesday's Lost season premiere. The great big mystery machine is my favorite thing on the air. Let's look at a little preview.

What has our favorite semi-anonymous ad vandal Poster Boy been up to lately? Just tearing down the commerce-based capitalist infrastructure and replacing it with a vision of public utopia.
