“There was a time when Paris Hilton topped that list, when she was the most famous person for being nothing we had ever seen,” Mr. Passikoff said. (Ms. Hilton is now in third place.) Interestingly, he noted, many consumers associate Ms. Kardashian with entrepreneurship, far more so than other celebrities. [Emphasis added]

Mr. Bewkes, our favorite PEPE LÉ PEW-producing media mogul, tells us why He's not a media mogul:

In the old media business world, people spoke of moguls who were often self-promoting guys and undisciplined when it came to deals and the like. "We're not moguls anymore," Bewkes said later. "We're reasonable people" who try to make the right decisions.

Okay Jeff, let's compare You and Jack Warner. He was a mogul. He might have been self-promoting and undisciplined. He and his brothers brought sound to the movies. His studio also produced Casablanca, something You couldn't do in a million years. Or let's compare You and Henry Luce. Okay, we grant we don't like Luce. He was a tyrant and a news-slanter. ("They saw Ike, and they liked what they saw!!!!!") But he also founded a number of big magazines. You merely shuffle papers.

On the other hand, by dint of Your job You are a mogul. Despite Your essential impotence You wield more power than some heads of state. For a mogul to say He's reasonable is like Hef saying He's chaste. And any Guy who'd remake The Wizard of Oz word for word may not be making the right decisions.

Oh Jeff, given what Your Empire -- I mean, Your lemonade stand disgorges we wonder why You'd have any concerns for Your son. Or was a CONGRESSMAN in the audience?

But Morrison's own attorney, Bob Josefsberg, said there was some very believeable testimony that the singer did expose himself.

Hey Chuck, CHUCK -- you lost the election. There's no need to toady to news hacks anymore.

Some of those urging Crist not to grant the pardon pointed out that Morrison, had he been convicted today, would be put on a sex offenders list, especially since he exposed himself to minors.

"Do you consider a sexual predator designation so low on the ladder of crimes that he should receive a pardon?" Alyce Burke asked in an e-mail. "Quite a strong statement to be made by you while the state and the country battle with sexual predators."

Woebegone cities like Detroit might start to come back if -- if -- government realizes jobs must come from business, not from government. And only business could reclaim all the newly freed-up land otherwise doomed to urban "farming" and wilderness for people who preen. But most cities will remain quarantines for poor people, with all the ills and unions and pressure groups attendant thereto; and even the most resourceful and insightful businesses may not get up the strength and mass needed to overcome that. Regardless as FDR said, "The country needs and, unless I mistake its temper, the country demands bold, persistent experimentation. It is common sense to take a method and try it: If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something." Never was this truer than with the cities.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! Recently we mentioned BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ' attempt to immortalize himself with The Great Gatsby, and now the casting's public: AUDREY HEPBURN II is playing Daisy. NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! It's far worse than Mia Farrow, who at least was cute once. Where do these hacks get the unbudgeable idea she's attractive? For Daisy to sweep James Gatz off his feet she must be ultraspectacular. That she's something of an airhead does not at all detract from that. Would he even notice Audrey at one of his wild parties? She'd be the wallflower. And Leonardo's playing James. NO NO NO NO NO!!!!! The only person who could ever have played him was the young Bing Crosby. Think I'm wrong? In his early years he was agreeably flippant and lighter than air, a go-getting optimist with a ready smile, and enigmatic too, just like Gatz. (Being every man's pal and every woman's lover would not hurt.) Leonardo merely looks effete. He also looks dull, and Gatz was not dull. SPIDER-MAN's playing Nick, which means no matter how good he is he's still SPIDER-MAN. No mention of who's playing Daisy's husband Tom, which suggests BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ is ready to screw up big time -- to the sound of ooohs and aaahs from the Gang of 27, and the usual rave reviews.

Which raises another thing: Gatsby's famous for its elusive, sideways understatement. Is this quite the right property for the creator of MOULIN ROUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

P. S. For what it's worth, Warner Baxter, who played the title role in the lost 1926 silent version, doesn't look like him either. Neither did Alan Ladd. Robert Redford was closer but I think he's missing a certain spunk, although he might have worked quite well as the sardonic Nick.

Come to think of it, the young Fred Astaire could have played Jay Gatsby too -- with the advantage of dancing feet.

Of course it has nothing to do with the PRODUCT, an increasingly hard-to-take concoction whose smell emanates even through the Web sites (which are also holding things down); it clearly has nothing to do with, say, devoting twenty-seven typists to show-biz and five to the Congress.
