- Police fired back at an armed man who shot at them in the Bronx. The suspect died from the one shot that hit him.
- An NYPD chopper made an emergency landing a Queens soccer field early this morning. A neighbor said, "I was taking out the trash when I heard it. It cleared the houses by like 30 feet, and the fence by maybe 10."
- Wonder why Bill O'Reilly and Keith Olbermann haven't been attacking each other as much lately? Apparently GE and News Corp. honchos made a deal to stop the bickering!
- The East Hampton Library says a zoning board is trying to block them from building a children's library—apparently fearing it would attract youngsters from poorer communities.
- A Boston University graduate student in physics has to pay $675,000 to record labels for illegally downloading songs like Nirvana's "Come As You Are."
- An agent to Variety's Peter Bart about Sarah Palin as talk show host: "Sarah will make millions. But I'd shoot myself if I had to watch her."
- And Jennifer Aniston looks, uh, perky in these photographs of her on the NYC set of her upcoming film, The Bounty.
