• Congrats to playboy rocker Lenny Kravitz, who has been sued for the third year in a row over the leaky toilet in his old Soho penthouse. The lawsuit is now at about $800K — for that kind of money, we sure hope that toilet held the vomit of some really hot supermodels. [TSG]
• If, unlike Tom Cruise, you chose not to eat your baby's placenta, consider it as a hair product. [Malcontent]
• A photographer tries to burrow his way into Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's Namibian birthing compound, only to receive a solid beating from their security guards. [TMZ]
• The indie snobs at Pitchfork aren't that superior to a bunch of 10-year-olds. In fact, we prefer the little kids' reviews. [Stereogum]
• A note to LA: Judith Regan's all yours. Enjoy her fury, relish her bitchitude, and listen closely for tales from her well-abused PAs. [LAT]
• Will we ever fully understand the sad death of ElleGirl? [FishbowlNY]

• God bless the web, which is saving the two non-Murdoch news networks. Also, Dick Cavett thinks Brokaw was drunk. [NYO]
• Why is Brian Williams, not the traditional Katie Couric, Bob Costas' sidekick for the Olympics opening parade? Either because Katie is busy with morning work, as NBC says, or maybe because the peacock doesn't want to build up anchor who's about to bolt. [Chicago Tribune]
• Tom Ford looks like Jeremy Piven, according to VF focus groupers. [WWD]
