- Trekkies, mark your calendars: Christie's will auction Star Treak memorabilia October 5, 6, and 7; the items will be on view from September 29 - October 4 in New York, and admission is allowed with ticket (puchase a catalog) - and you can also pre-order your catalog
- Get ready for The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency - her new show on Oxygen (we want to add that we really miss her from ANTM)
- The NY Sun has an editorial about the new Apple Store
- Excellent summary of Columbia Commencement from Bwog: You’ve got to hand it to PrezBo—for having given three commencement speeches already, he’s still churning out zingers like eviction notices in Manhattanville, as well as ponderous pronouncements such as how the Iraq war might have been avoided if we were all a bit more educated.
- Susan Sarandon endorses Jonathan Tasini for the Democratic Senate bid because Hillary voted yes on war
- With people looking for Jimmy Hoffa in Michigan, the Smoking Gun re-educates us all on the man
