"Quirky" comedienne and author Amy Sedaris has gone into contract on a fourth-floor apartment at 50 West 9th Street, off Fifth Avenue. Listed at $1.25 million, the one-bedroom co-op features arched doorways, a wood-burning fireplace, and all the original wood ceiling beams, floors, doors, and hardware. Amy won't be making the move from her current digs on Christopher Street alone: Her pet rabbit Dusty, her collection of plastic food (like the ham bone, right) and possibly the ghost of her murdered imaginary boyfriend, Ricky, are expected to go along for the ride. Photos of Sedaris's new abode below.

Just a couple of months ago, Naomi Campbell went crazy on a British Airways flight, reportedly kicking and spitting at the airline crew and cops, after she was called a racist name or lost her luggage, depending on who you believe. She pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service on Friday, a slap on the wrist considering the six-month sentence she could have earned. Will Naomi use this latest lesson to turn her life around? If history is any guide, odds are she'll be back in police custody somewhere in the world—and delighting tabloid journalists—by the end of the year. Just a few moments of high drama in the life of Ms. Naomi Campbell after the jump.

A shocking revelation from Eric Gioia: Apparently, Craigslist is being used to peddle sex. "What used to happen on seedy street corners and brothels has now moved to the Internet," Gioia observed before explaining that the ads in the erotic services section were "thinly disguised solicitations for sex." Tomorrow Eric will explain to us what this reference to "420" is all about. [NY Sun]

Are you a newly unemployed Wall Streeter looking to keep up your expensive eating habits? College kid looking to save a few bucks? Good news! The economic downturn seems to have inspired renewed interest in dumpster diving (well, with the media at least), which, in case you're unfamiliar with the practice, involves scrounging through giant trash receptacles outside grocery stores and restaurants in search of still-fresh food to eat. (There's no actual "diving" involved, at least as far as we can tell.) We know what you're thinking. Yes, it's horrifying and disgusting. And yet who knew the activity had so many accomplished alumni? (Including the Times's former dining critic Ruth Reichl, no less, although she also explains it was about three decades ago.) There's a whole political context to being a "freegan"; something about evil corporations, the Man, and saving the planet. Or something. But just think of the cash you'll save! How many gourmet food shops toss out perfectly good cuts of Wagyu beef, just because they're four hours past an arbitrary expiration date? But where do you start if you're a novice with a sophisticated palette? There are so many dumpsters around the city. And some of then have, like, dead bodies in them, not tasty Asian pears!

Tinsley Mortimer is shooting a Gossip Girl cameo in the Hamptons today. The details of whom the star socialite be playing, how many words she will actually utter, or just how long she'll be on the show haven't been disclosed. Needless to say, any specifics that do emerge will be breathlessly reported by NY Mag as soon as humanly possible. [Paper, Just Jared]

• Loews heir Jon Tisch is rumored to be paying $48 million for an apartment at 2 East 67th Street, the co-op that's also home to Leonard and Evelyn Lauder and Arthur Carter. Tisch and second wife Lizzie have been renting at Trump Park Avenue since Jon sold his duplex at 950 Fifth Avenue to Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz back in January. [NYDN]

Fortune's Andy Serwer: "I once told a guy I know who runs a giant hedge fund that if I ever made as much as he did in a single year—about $30 million—I would promptly pack it in. 'That's why you will never make $30 million,' he retorted. Duly noted." [WaPo]

Dumping Nicole Richie turns out to have been a lousy career move for Adam Goldstein, otherwise known as DJ AM. Back when he was with Richie a couple of years ago, he was commanding six figures. Now? Despite momentary flings with Mandy Moore and Jessica Stam, demand for the spinner in places like New York, LA and Miami has dwindled, as have his fees. Let this be a lesson to you, Sam Ronson.

CBS News oldtimer Bob Schieffer is a bit perplexed at the mating rituals of young people, especially "gangs" of guys and girls who hang out with their friends before meeting up at bars to get "plastered." We're perplexed about who encouraged Bob to talk about this on air. Watch it for yourself, after the jump.

Frances McDormand turns 51 today. Hope Joel got you something nice, Fran. Also celebrating today: Met artistic director and legendary conductor James Levine turns 65. Real estate mogul Jerry Speyer is 68. Singer Jason Mraz is 31. Selma Blair turns 36. And skincare aficionado Nicholas Perricone is 60, although what with all the firming mists and wrinkle creams he uses on an hourly basis, he doesn't look a day over 57 or 58.

Keith Olbermann's feud with members of Rupert Murdoch's media empire seems to be expanding. Last night, Page Six's Paula Froelich called the MSNBC talk show host to comment on a story which suggested Olbermann was jockeying with Chris Matthews for Tim Russert's job as the host of Meet the Press; worse was that the claim that Matthews had even been heard discussing with a man presumed to be his agent at Russert's memorial service in Washington. Olbermann fired back, quickly naming Froelich the "World's Worst Person," ahead of Murdoch himself and the Rupe-owned Sun newspaper. The Post's item was published in the Post today. Olbermann's lashing after the jump.

Here's something new you'll be seeing around town soon enough: "eco-friendly" car-washing carts. After what must have been years of research, environmentalists have determined that the car washes you're used to—the one where you drive through a battery of mops, bristles, and sudsy foam while you (or your children) scream in delight—consumes a ton of a water. Which is bad. Because then there's less of it to waste watering gigantic lawns or filling up Olympic-size swimming pools that no one swims in!

Martha Stewart has been refused entry to the UK. The media queen/convicted felon was apparently planning to travel to London to speak at the Royal Academy, but the British government denied her visa application. So we keep allowing Naomi Campbell into the U.S. despite the fact she beats every other American that comes into contact with her and you guys are going to play tough with Martha? There really is no justice in the world. [Telegraph]

Tyra Banks won an Daytime Emmy for "Outstanding Informative Talk Show" last night. And she had a few words to say to her detractors, too. The clip of her acceptance speech after the jump.

Jed Walentas, the son of Brooklyn real estate baron David Walentas, is no longer single. The DUMBO heir tied the knot with a photographer named Kate Engelbrecht "sometime during the last two weeks," a family spokesperson told the Brooklyn Paper. So hush hush! And at an undisclosed location, it seems! This means one of the city's richest real estate heirs is off the market. The good news. Perhaps the good news is that he married someone roughly his own age, not a 21-year-old Hawaiian Tropic model. A goofier photo of the newest addition to the Walentas family after the jump.
