FishbowlNY - Turning the Page For New York Media
Monday, Jun 20

We're not starting any fires...

But here are some bullets:

  • Paying for access: OK? The celeb glossy ante is about to be upped by Britain's OK! Magazine, who are prepared to pay stars for "exclusive access to their homes, weddings and newborn babies." And the stars get approval. Which is good, because Jessica Simpson and Ben Affleck could use the cash. [WSJ.com]
  • GMA and "Today" - how did Tom and Katie play? Ah, the intersection of two self-perpetuating media stories, convneniently packaged in one juxtapository blog post. [EW's Popwatch]
  • The transaction that dare not speak its name: Ben Widdicombe, we have no idea what you're talking about. [NYDN (3rd item)]
  • Phone rings, door chimes, in comes Fast Company: Eleventh hour deal to save John Byrne's happy family, courtesy of Morningstar's Joe Mansueto. How Mansueto it is to be loved by, well, someone. [NYP]
  • Weekends are for puppies, cuddles, and the Saturday Wall Street Journal: The NYT on the Saturday WSJ's softer side. It's like the mini-wheat of the newspaper world. [NYT]
  • After Xenu of the planet Teegeeack zoquos, he likes to ushnu: Radar, Radosh, everyone's an expert on cults. Here, Danny Rado gives you the lowdown on Scientology. Jessica Rodriguez would be proud. [The Week via Radosh.net]
  • Fox News leaves them gasping and choking: In other news, sometimes they spray insecticide. More from the man with the exclusive. [TV Newser]
  • Is it me, or is there a reason Nancy Grace is smiling?: Look at the post below. Draw your own conclusions. [MSNBC/Newsweek]
