I know more than you.
I make lots more money than you.
I'm smarter than you.
I'm sexier than you.
I appear on TV all the time.
I work ten minutes a day.
I rule the universe.
I'm going to live forever.
You are an idiot.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.

THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

Heidi Pratt is heading back to NBC.
The "Hills" blonde, who doubles as an aspiring pop star, will perform during the 2009 Miss Universe Pageant telecast next month, Access Hollywood can exclusively reveal.
Heidi treated fans to snippets of her singing while in the Costa Rican jungle earlier this summer on "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" and viewers of the Miss Universe Pageant will get to check out what Heidi sounds like on the big stage on August 23.
Heidi will perform the song "Turn Ya Head" off her debut album, "Unleashed," which came out in July.
Other stars who are set to take the stage at the pageant, which will be co-hosted by Access' own Billy Bush and "Celebrity Apprentice" star Claudia Jordan, include Flo Rida, Kelly Rowland and dance kingpin David Guetta.
Flo Rida will perform "Right Round" and "Jump" as a two-song medley during the pageant's swimsuit competition.
Kelly and David will perform the song, "When Love Takes Over" together during the evening gown portion of competition.
The Miss Universe 2009 Pageant airs August 23 at 9 PM on NBC.

Why do people think YANGDOM is still worth zillions?
And who wants to bet the NASDAQ still has another up day?
(We post this exclusivity because YANGDOM ran a link on its home page.)
P. S. at 5:20 p. m. Two more reasons for YANGDOM and GE BANCORP to have posted this: 1. She can't sing and 2. She has new appliances. But then we could have said that of a hundred other starlets. And that's the thing -- we keep having to say it.
