  • I see your ‘Nick and Jessica,’ and I raise you a… hm. Never mind: Sales of celebrity weeklies are way down at the newsstands lately, even though Nick & Jess totally don’t have a prenup and Brit & Kev may just have to use theirs. Maybe it’s because Brangelina‘s getting all boring and domestic and Vaughniston sounds like a breakaway Soviet republic. [WWD]

  • Well Barney, what four-letter word can you find for this? Geraldo Rivera is flying off to Iraq to cover the elections, but back home he’s doing his part to “nudge” Katrina relief forward: at his daughter’s birthday parties, invitations requested that donations be made to hurricane relief in lieu of gifts. Alessandra Stanley, feel free to match. [NYP]
  • The Lion, The Witch and the Jewess: Our MEL-watch of popular children’s books continues, this time with Jessica Siegel‘s claim that when she was groovin’ on C.S. Lewis as a kid, she never knew Aslan was supposed to be Jesus. Turns out the story might actually be for everyone. Aw. A happy ending for the Jews after all![NYT]
  • Congratulations, Todd Haskell! You got a promotion and an article in the paper. Today’s your special day! Go new “Vice President Business Development, Advertising!” p.s. Can you do anything about that whole depleted-Times-staffer-health-fund thing I read about in that Auletta New Yoker article? Today’s your special day, tomorrow your special challenge. [NYT]
