marvel_colbert_comic_hp.jpgMarvel Chief Brings Comics to Fake News [GalleyCat]
If you're a fan of The Colbert Report, you'll recognize the image at left as the mock-up comic book cover that Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada prepared for Thursday night's show.

Playboy To Publish Nude Paris Hilton Lookalike [FishbowlNY]
Normally, we aren't too impressed by celebrity lookalikes. But this Paris Hilton lookalike, Natalie Reid, really looks like Paris Hilton, so much so that the real Paris invited the fake Paris to the real Paris' house for an evening of debating the intricacies of Israeli diplomacy in the Middle East conflict. Or not.

Breaking: James Brown Son-In-Law, Hip-Hop Entrepreneur, New UN Ambassador Wanted In Rape Case [FishbowlNY]
D. Anthony "Chip" Lumar, this week named as a UN ambassador along with Russell Simmons, is wanted for rape in Atlanta.


Dozier Working On 'Getting Her Legs Back' [TVNewser]
The HooK: "Two months after she was critically injured in a roadside blast in Iraq, CBS reporter Kimberly Dozier...is doing 'great,'" says her Charlottesville pal Coy Barefoot, a WINA radio talk show host who received an email from Dozier last week.

Another Washington Times Exposé? [FishbowlDC]
An anonymous tipster alerts us to the fact that the Nation's Max Blumenthal is doing an article on the Washington Times. Will he shed more light on some of the comments made by George Archibald, which we reported a while back?

Rock Legend Yard Sale in Encino [FishbowlLA]
Tom Petty's first wife, Jane Petty, is having a yard sale. Actually, it's billed as an "Estate Sale," but no one died. And I don't think Tom ever had an estate as in stately manor as they lived in Encino. They were married until 1996, so it's possible that some of Tom's old stash is kicking around in a dresser drawer.

'Design Matters' Named to Top 100 Podcasts List [UnBeige]
We couldn't believe the good audio-meets-design news we heard today. Debbie Millman wrote to tell us that her show, "Design Matters" was named as one of the Top 100 Business Podcasts by iTunes.

'CNN Of Hip-Hop' To Relaunch [FishbowlNY]
AllHipHop.com, the so-called "CNN of Hip-Hop," is set to relaunch next week with a redesign — the first significant overhaul since its 1998 launch — and weeklong celebration that includes a concert at the Hammerstein Ballroom and barbeque hosted by G-Unit at an undisclosed location.

Pop Quiz: James P. Othmer [MBToolbox]
As a creative director at Young & Rubicam advertising in New York, today's interviewee developed brand advertising and award-winning commercials for some of the world's leading companies, an experience that led to his new novel, The Futurist.
