SocialTimes: There’s a service that uses Twitter to predict where food poisoning is likely to hit. This could be helpful, but the term “food poisoning” is so vague. Are we talking vomiting after a meal? Or just the way you feel after you eat McDonald’s?

GalleyCat: Coldplay has recorded an original song for the new Hunger Games movie, just in case you needed another reason not to see it.

TVSpy: Amelia Earhart is not related to Amelia Earhart. Carry on.

When Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post, a popular theory that emerged was Michael Bloomberg purchasing The New York Times (if it ever went up for sale). However, David Remnick, editor-in-chief of The New Yorker, says that’s not going to happen. Why? Because Bloomy hates the Times.

Remnick, appearing on This Week, explained “Mike Bloomberg is a great innovator, but I have to say, I’ve heard straight from the horse’s mouth that he detests the New York Times… Mike Bloomberg thinks that the New York Times has an opinion page on the front page and he loathes it.”

That probably settles that issue, but still, you have to wonder Bloomberg could end up buying the paper simply because he hates it so much.

If Bloomberg did, then he could change the Times to fit his vision. Which we imagine would feature plenty of articles praising Bloomberg.

Jennifer Lawrence is your Vogue September 2013 cover girl. In the accompanying profile by Jonathan Van Meter, Lawrence says that she doesn’t like goat cheese or people who forget to wring out sponges. She’s so real!

The September issue of Vogue hits newsstands August 20.

The Financial Times has named Andrew Edgecliffe-Johnson its US news editor. Edgecliffe-Johnson has been with the paper for 16 years, most recently as global media editor.

Martin Dickson, FT’s US managing editor, said of the move, “Andrew has been a superb media editor, who has won great respect across the industries he covers. With his history of excellence in reporting, editing and team leadership, he will be a strong and dynamic US news editor.”

Edgecliffe-Johnson is succeeding Gary Silverman. Silverman will remain US deputy managing editor and add US national editor to his role.

David Epstein is leaving Sports Illustrated for ProPublica. His new role will be investigative reporter, which suits him perfectly.

Epstein has been a senior writer for SI for the last seven years. Epstein and Selena Roberts (who also recently left SI) are credited with breaking the A-Rod/steroids story in 2003. Epstein has also won the Society of Professional Journalists 2010 “Deadline Club Award” and Time Inc.’s Henry R. Luce Award for public service.

In related news, ProPublica has added Nina Martin and Megan McCloskey as investigative journalists. Martin comes to ProPublica from San Francisco magazine, where she has been for the majority of the past 10 years. McCloskey comes to ProPublica from Stars and Stripes, where she served as a national correspondent since 2009.

The Wall Street Journal must be taking bikini season seriously, because it just shrunk its iconic “What’s News” feature. Today’s What’s News sidebar is a single column, instead of the customary two.

The What’s News section has been a Journal A1 staple for many years. It packs snippets of the day’s articles, along with items not found in the paper that specific day. The content was separated into Business & Finance and World-Wide. Now only Business & Finance remains.

In a memo announcing the move, Gerard Baker, the Journal’s managing editor, said What’s News was changing for a few reasons.
