Atlantic Monthly says that photographer Jill Greenberg broke the terms of her contract thus it will not pay and may sue her for the photo shoot in which she tricked John McCain into an evil-looking photo. An editor for the magazine also tells Fox News that they are sending a letter of apology to McCain. Today Greenberg is not taking as harsh a stance in defense of the photos with her husband and spokesperson Robert Green telling Radar, "She feels bad that the Atlantic has been dragged into this. Her beef is not with them. She's an artist who is expressing herself through the medium she expresses herself through." The author of the accompanying article has come out and said that Greenberg's art is "juvenile, and on occasion repulsive" and called her "an indecent person who should not be working in magazine journalism."

Photographer Jill Greenberg tricked John McCain into allowing her to shoot him in an ominous, unflattering light that created a diabolical image of the senator. After taking the cover shot for this month's Atlantic Monthly, Greenberg (who owns the domain Manipulator.com for her web site) asked the candidate to come over to another setup where she had previously placed a strobe light below where McCain now stood and captured him with an eerie shadow.

A look at some noteworthy television this week:

Today Gothamist has quite the conundrum on its hands…with so many good shows happening this week all over our fair city, how do we narrow it all down? There’s a bit of a hodge-podge of things happening tonight, so rather than file them all under comedy, it’s probably safer to refer to them as a canon of miscellany.
