· Radar's Maer Roshan was mailed a package containing human excrement yesterday with the return address of Suge Knight after Radar named Knight one of its "monsters" in the last issue. Knight's rep says the letter didn't come from him. [Page Six]
· Nobu chef Nobu Matsuhisa couldn't get a table at his own restaurant. "'This is Nobu,' he said to the unseasoned reservationist. To which she replied, 'Yes, this is.' He tried again: 'This is Matsuhisa.' She then explained that Matsuhisa was their restaurant in Beverly Hills." [Page Six]
· "Woody Allen on Madison Avenue near the Jewish Museum, where the exhibition on Jewish Americans in movies and broadcasting makes no mention of him. Told by a passerby of his omission, he laughed and shrugged, 'More persecution'" [Page Six]
· Some African-American Bloomberg staffers were offended when senior executives dressed up as rappers and performed their own rap song about the company. "It's appalling for this company, which has little parity in its payment and promotion of blacks, to take any opportunity to have a parody and a mockery of black culture," said one employee. (From now on, white people are not allowed to rap. Ever. It's racist.) [NY Daily News]
