The Televisionary blog was curious about David Rosenthal, the guy taking over as showrunner of Gilmore Girls from beloved series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, who is leaving the series along with her writer-producer husband Daniel Palladino. (The official story: They wanted a multi-year contract, but studio Warner Bros. would only offer them one year.) As it turns out, Rosenthal is a curious choice to guide the mother-daughter story for multiple reasons, not the least of which being the time, according to a quoted LAT magazine article, he abruptly quit his gig at Spin City and divorced his wife so he could focus all his energies on writing and mounting a creepy, mysogynistic play about his obsessive desire to sleep with Heidi Klum:

Nope, we checked: Even in the German version of In Touch, Heidi Klum's baby is still—um, how do we say this without giving the little tyke a self-image problem?—quite unpleasant to look at. We suspect it might not be hers.

· Details' list of "well-endowed men" includes Liam Neeson, Matt Dillon, Kevin Costner, Bruce Willis, Jason Priestley and Sean Penn. "One celebrity stylist claims to have heard (from gossipy ex-girlfriends he's worked with)" that Tobey Maguire, Johnny Depp and Colin Farrell are also eligible for the list. [Page Six]
· Mayor Bloomberg, Heidi Klum and Kyle MacLachlan were spotted getting a sneak peak at John McDonald and Steve Hanson's new Dos Caminos Soho on West Broadway. (Oddly we were there as well, but at least one of us was paying too much attention to the margaritas to notice the mayor or Heidi Klum.) [Page Six]
· Actor Nathan Lane, responding to producer Cy Feuer's attack on the 1992 revival of "Guys and Dolls", saying Faith Prince was "too tough" and Nathan "incapable of playing a Jew" : "Faith won the Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards and became an overnight star. I was nominated for my first Tony and won the Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards...and now if you'll excuse me, I'm late for Hebrew School." [Liz Smith]
· What Heidi Klum looks for in a man: "Good body odor. When they get really musky, it can be real good." [Liz Smith]
· John Kozero, a spokesman for Fireman's Fund (an insurance company that underwrites a number of reality shows) on the proliferation of reality-show lawsuits by participants claiming to be hurt or humiliated: "This is a litigious society, and there are a lot of underemployed attorneys out there who need to make money, [But] it's clear that producers seem desperate to top one another in terms of stunts and effects."

Lessons Learned from This Week's (REGULARLY UPDATED) Edition of Chic Happens:
1. If you're Christina Aguilera, note that pulling down your top and having your female stylist "suck your tit" may be considered a bit declasse in the London magazine world.
2. When starting your own tacky sandal line, introducing the single half of Chic Happens to any hot boys you know may be good insurance against bitchy comments in his REGULARLY UPDATED HintMag column. (Okay, so it was never explicitly stated that Heidi Klum's personal trainer was hot; I'm just assuming.)
3. When doing a photo shoot for Maxim, do not wear a skirt that says "I Love Cocaine." [Ed. NoteJust out of curiosity, where does one get a skirt that says "I Love Cocaine"? Not that I'm thinking of buying one. And would said hypothetical skirt be available, in, oh, a size 2 or 4?]
