HuffPo Suspends Writer for Doing 'What We Were Taught and Told to Do'

Ryan Tate · 07/11/11 03:52PM

The Huffington Post indefinitely suspended a young blogger today for rewriting too much of someone's news article. This is pretty ridiculous, given HuffPo's systematic, officially-sanctioned approach to rewriting too much of people's news articles. Just ask a HuffPo veteran.

An American media exec snuck into News of the World's offices shortly before the scandal-plagued magazine printed its final issue.

Rupert Murdoch's Reporters Illegally Spied on the British Prime Minister

John Cook · 07/11/11 02:20PM

Last week, when News International chief executive Rebekah Brooks faced down News of the World reporters to explain why the paper was being cashiered, she warned darkly that all would become clear when the full extent of the rot at her company became known. Today another shoe dropped: Reporters for News International's Sunday Times and Sun illegally accessed former Prime Minister Gordon Brown's bank account, legal files, and family medical records.

Real Housewives of New Jersey: Music From Another Room

Richard Lawson · 07/11/11 01:14PM

It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas on last night's episode of Orange You Glad, with trees decorated and a general holiday cheer filling the air. Though there was also a chill, a deep sad wintry shudder that drafted through Franklin Lakes.

Jim Newell · 07/11/11 12:04PM

Barack Obama performed the latest scene in his ongoing "last reasonable man in Washington" reelection act today, during an impromptu White House press conference following the latest semi-failure of a debt ceiling meeting. Democrats need to untwist their panties about cutting entitlements. Republicans need to stop being monsters. John Boehner, though, is a great guy. C'mon, people: let's stop the nonsense and eat some goddamn peas.

Halle Berry was trapped in her house by a stalker. William and Kate have left the country. Anthony Weiner flew to Miami to reconcile with his wife. Gwyneth Paltrow went on vacation to rub her bikini body in your face. Monday's gossip doesn't know if it's coming or going.

Jennifer Aniston Is Back in the Game

Richard Lawson · 07/11/11 10:11AM

Some would argue that she never left, that she's just staying in it, but either way, her new movie performed pretty well. So did Transformers, duh. Though Zookeeper fared less well.

Which Star Likes to Get Sexy in Public?

Brian Moylan · 07/11/11 09:52AM

This celeb gave her (closeted?) boyfriend some oral attention under the table at a busy restaurant. This tweener tried to commit suicide four times. And this actress is screaming for top billing. Maybe she can make a deal, ahem, under the table.

Nancy Grace Can't Let Casey Anthony Go

Matt Cherette · 07/10/11 08:27PM

After a Florida jury acquitted Casey Anthony of murdering her two-year-old daughter, Caylee, on Tuesday, some were hoping HLN host Nancy Grace would finally eat crow for the years-long media war she waged against Anthony.
