davincicode.jpgStart Packing Up the Cameras, Folks [GalleyCat]
For everyone who's speculated that the real reason for the Da Vinci Code lawsuit is to drum up publicity for the Holy Blood, Holy Grail authors, here's more fuel for the fire: A publicist pitched me this morning on Michael Baigent's The Jesus Papers, which promises "explosive new evidence that will challenge everything we know about the life and death of Jesus and the very the foundations of Western thought."

Media Matters: The Fox Chyron Police [TVNewser]
Left-leaning watchdog group Media Matters takes Fox News to task for its "revealing Oscar coverage." Basically, the network took the lower-thirds down when beautiful women were on the air. I feel bad for the poor MM employee who had to compile this.

Lunch at Michael's: Fun with Gil [FishbowlNY]
It was mellow today at Michael's. Several interesting pairings and sightings: Michael Caruso (former ed of Men's Journal) was there with Men's Health editor Dave Zinczenko (do we see bigger abs in the works for Caruso?). Glamour's Cindi Leive was there with two boys from Slate (Do we smell a syndication deal?).


Jack Mocks Wolf, In Person [FishbowlDC]
Today on his way back from Dubai, Wolf Blitzer got to meet crotchety ole Jack Cafferty for the first time — a meeting that led to the normal musing and awkward ad-libbing.

Does Crime Pay? Part Two: Ask Michael Jackson [FishbowlLA]
Wiretapping is so passe. The latest hi-tech crime du jour is flier-tapping. If Michael Jackson has any brains at all, he'll release the pilfered jet video of his chat with Mark Geragos on iTunes with "Just A Little Bit Of You" dubbed over it. Read our lips, Michael: Number. One. Single.

Interview: dress code's Andre Andreev and Dan Covert [Unbeige]
Andre Andreev and Dan Covert have most likely been welcomed into your homes already; their work for the MTV's VMAs was beamed around the world in 2005. With stints at Karlssonwilker, XLARGE, and Odopod under their collective belt, the two took jobs at MTV while building a design empire at night. Equal parts big name branding, silk-screened concert posters, and renegade art projects, dress code is an impossibly prolific firm for two designers who've yet to turn 25.

Do You Need an Agent? [MBToolBox]
Did you not even know if that was a possibility? Writer Durant Imboden gives some advice on when to look into it and how.
