MARKETS STILL PLUNGING!!! Oh, I'm sorry, you wanted NEWS.
MADOFF'S WIFE!!! The NYT asks: "How much did she know, really?" Although it's amazing she found time to listen to anything, in between face-scouring appointments:
BAD APPLE!!! "Somewhere, right now, a plaintiff lawyer is preparing to file a lawsuit against Apple on behalf of shareholders who will claim they were deceived by the company’s statements about the health of chief executive Steve Jobs.”
BILL RICHARDSON STRIKES AGAIN!!! The former would-be commerce secretary is accused of diverting $90m of government money to a financial organization in exchange for political donations.
GOSSIP GIRL SPINOFF!!! The Hollywood Reporter says a spinoff about the teenage years of show-mom Lily van der Woodsen is in the works.
PUBLIC RECORDS!!! While the government has claimed to "lose" crucial e-mails over recent years, it's now "found" plenty, after a $10m investigation.
LOHAN TOO THIN!!! All depends on your definition of "too" and "thin," of course...
ARIANNA HUFFINGTON!!! Gives her "citizen journalism" project to her godson to look after. Shameless? Much?
Good day.
