Former Ramones manager and most recently a real estate agent "to the stars," Linda Stein, was found murdered yesterday. The character who shows Charlie Sheen apartments in the movie Wall Street was reportedly based on her, and Michael Gross published a profile on her in NY Mag in the early '90s. Mrs. Stein was also the ex-wife of music industry mogul Seymour Stein. The NY Sun reports her body, which had "blunt impact injuries," was......

Last night the 59th Annual Emmy Awards took place on the left coast, but New Yorkers made out very well. New York productions/creative types that took home the gold: Late Night with Conan O'Brien (writing), The Daily Show (variety-comedy show series), 30 Rock (best comedy), and Dick Wolf (for producing Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee). In the would-have-been arena, America Ferrera won best actress in a comedy, Ugly Betty, which was originally supposed......

Mets third baseman David Wright has been embraced by the public for his baseball skills, team work, and adorable face. He's been hitting a .316 average in spring training and now the Mets plan to settle up some important business with Wright: What song will be played when he goes to bat?

And there's the hope of a good Steve Carrell bit, not to mention awkward reaction shots of Candy and Tori Spelling during the Aaron Spelling tribute.......

Ah, along with the impending cold front, holiday sales, and smell of pine (from the tree sellers on the corner), Gothamist is enjoying the rites of winter with today's announcement of the Golden Globe nominations. The Golden Globes, best known as the boozy, somewhat suspect, but first awards ceremony of the year, picking rollicking wine-n-buddy movie, Sideways to lead the film contenders, with 7 nominations in the Best Comedy/Musical category; Closer and Million Dollar Baby......

L.A. Times entertainment reporter Patrick Goldstein looks at the California recall nuttiness in his column, The Big Picture. After analyzing Arnold's win ("once hard-nosed political reporters got their mitts on Arnold, he would crumble like a bad Schatzi strudel. Well, they proved to be about as scary as Don Zimmer throwing a punch at Pedro Martinez."), Goldstein goes through a few candidates he thinks might have the stuff to run against Arnold. Here are a......

It's good to know that Winona Ryder is basically like the Welcome Wagon for any semi-cute up-and-coming would-be rocker - at least someone is looking out for the lads. That's why she was the focus of a VH1 All Access:Winona Rules!
