There are many things that can be attributed to ruining a marriage. Infidelity. Mistrust. Abuse. But word that news anchor Paula Zahn and husband Richard Cohen are headed toward divorce has an added twist: An insider told Page Six, "Things really started going downhill for Paula and Richard during the Pale Male and Lola incident."

The Brooklyn grand jury is still hearing evidence for the Imette St. Guillen murder, with prosecutors looking for an indictment against Darryl Littlejohn, a bouncer at the Falls, which is the last place St. Guillen was seen. The Post says that the DNA evidence that links Littlejohn to ties found around St. Guillen's hands will be presented today. Gothamist found it interesting that the Post described that evidence as cracking the case "wide open," since most of the other evidence is circumstantial. Littlejohn's lawyer, Kevin O'Donnell, has been very vocal about how he does not think his client will get a fair trial - as well as how the police evidence is not very strong.

927 Fifth Avenue co-op owners Paula Zahn and her husband Richard Cohen for , according to the Post. Last year, when it seemed like 927 Fifth was going to evict Pale Male and his feathery common-law wife, Lola, from a perch outside the building, many people protested, included Karim, and Karim was later arrested for allegedly harrassing Zahn and her son. Now, Karim's lawyer says that Cohen made up the story (but Karim is glad that Zahn dropped the initial charges) and is looking for $1 million in damages. That would buy a lot of Pale Male surveillance equipment.

And in protester news, Pale Male admirer/activist, Lincoln Karim who maintain the PaleMale.com website, was charged with stalking 927 Fifth Avenue co-op board first lady, Paula Zahn, yesterday. There have been a number of incidents where Karim has approached Zahn's children (including telling her 7 year-old son with co-op board president Richard Cohen, "Your parents are going ot pay for this"), and last night, Karim was charged with harrassment, stalking and endangering the welfare of a child. Protesters made their way to the 19th Precinct, where they thought Karim had been arrested on civil rights issues; Mary Tyler Moore also went to the station house.

There was hope this weekend that fancy co-op 927 Fifth Avenue and advocates of red-tailed hawks Pale Male, Lola, and their kin could come to a resolution. The apartment building had unceremoniously dumped Pale Male's 11 year old nest last week, stirring up that time old match-up: Man vs. nature. Richard Cohen, president of 927 Fifth's co-op board (and husband of Paula Zahn), spoke to the NY Times over the weekend, saying the eviction was "a last resort" because the situation (with the carcasses and the bincolar wielding bird watchers, we guess) had become "problematic." "It takes a week to 10 days to rebuild a nest. Trees fall in nature. They lose nests. They are resilient animals." Cohen, you saying stuff like this is why your 7 year-old son is being harassed with people yelling at him "Bring back the nest!"; Gothamist isn't saying it's right for protesters to bother a helpless little kid whose dad might be a dip, but when you destroy the home of protected animals... Gothamist imagines that 927 Fifth and advocates from the Parks Department and Audobon Society will continue to discuss various ways everyone can be happy.

The NY Times had a pro-Pale Male editorial and the Post has a conservationist explain that needing to build a new nest may affect Pale Male's breeding ability. Plus our readers debate the issue.
