Goddamnit. I jumped to the Obama stuff and forgot to restart on page 2.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reportedly asked Mayor Bloomberg not to back Harold Ford, Jr. in his run for the Senate (against Kirsten Gillibrand).

This not only guarantees Bloomberg’s involvement, it pretty much cements Ford’s victory.

Did Google name their new super-phone (Nexus One) after the Nexus-6 androids (the phone runs on the operating system “Android”) in Philip K. Dick’s novel, “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” (which became the movie Blade Runner)? Dick’s heirs seem to think so.

It should be noted that Google paid George Lucas a tidy sum of money to use “Droid” in their ads and sitch.

Let me see if I get this straight:

At this point in 2008, NBC was averaging 7,600,000 viewers in their 10:00 p.m. Monday -Friday slot.

In September of this year, they averaged 7,900,000 (thanks to the 18,500,000 who watched the premiere). In October, it was 5,300,000. In November, it fell to 4,800,000. December brought it back up to 5,100,000 (yay!), which is only 2,500,000 less people than would normally be watching (or 49% of the current audience).

So what’s a shitty network to do? Why, give Jay his old 11:30 slot again! Right?

And here’s the beauty: Conan has (allegedly) been given an option — if he’s willing to move to 12:05-1:05, then Jay will get 11:35 – 12:05 OR Conan can fuck off and Jay will re-take is old Tonight Show slot in its entirety.

Also allegedly, I found out about this not long after Conan did. Which speaks volumes about the good folks at NBC. Which is also why I predict that Conan will turn down NBC’s shitty offer. I say he goes to Fox.

Just you wait and see.

Plaxico Burress, your request for a work-release furlough has been DENIED.

Back in your cell. Try not to shoot yourself (again).

At 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, a man decided to jog naked near “the green space south of the White House.”

His jaunt lasted “less than a minute” and the Secret Service took him to a hospital “for a mental evaluation.”

We live in very interesting times.

TEQUILA’S SHOT AT CASEY KIN has more hot and tasty Twitter tweets from the grieving “widow”:

“Her family abandoned her for 5 years, her friends never called her, ONLY I DID and I HAVE PROOF IN ALL MY TEXT MESSAGES & BBM 2 PPL!!!!”

“Now that she’s gone her family and so called ‘FRIENDS’ pop up at my house, stealing our stuff & acting like they care? BULLSHIT! Money doesn’t buy you class.”

(Agreed, Exhibit A!)

“Who was there for her? I WAS! I took care of EVERYTHING! While her ‘friends’ used her.”

“Sorry I tried 2 keep my mouth shut as long as I could but I’m tired of these RICH ppl who pretend like they are better just cuz they have $$.”

“Some ppl think just cuz they’re rich that they can stomp all over other ppl. Even if that means taking away their daughters happiness!”

“My wife hated [her family]. Just wait til I tell everyone the truth I have proof, and the family is a piece of shit. No wonder she wanted to marry me.”

(Agreed! Only someone that truly hates their family would ask you to join it!)

She is also reportedly “in negotiations” to appear on Larry King Live.

(“Chlamydia, hello!”)

And what does Tila say todayon her blog about the woman who Casey Johnson allegedly robbed last year (and whose lawyers sent Tila a cease and desist letter because of all of the names Tila has been calling her on her blog)? “Prostitute,” “bitch,” drug addict” and “con artist.”

And if you’d like to see a fame whore pretend that she wants the paparazzi to leave her alone so that she can grieve (before posing for them and giggling and talking about her upcoming projects), click here (and then get tested).
