Media-Whore D'Oevres



"Ugly Betty has officially moved to New York, and the city is all the more beautiful. Monday night, the cast and crew were given an official welcome when The Diamond Information Center hosted a party at Highbar ... Lindsay Lohan headed up to check out the view.

The News Corp. chief joined execs from Time Warner, CBS, Liberty, IAC, Marvel and Comcast on Wednesday at the Grand Hyatt in Midtown for the start of a two-day confab sponsored by Goldman Sachs, one Wall Street institution that has thus far survived ... Murdoch said he won’t be doing any deals in the near term despite having cash on hand. 'We’re not doing anything while the economic future is as murky as it is now,' the News Corp. chief said." (Variety)

"Barack (Obama) can only succeed if we also elect more champions in the Senate to stand up to the incredibly powerful oil lobby. Those leaders are emerging—and three of them are in close Senate races. Kay Hagan in North Carolina, Mark Udall in Colorado, and Al Franken in Minnesota are all real, clean-energy heroes who need our help to win. And they're fighting against Republicans who have taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in contributions from the oil industry. Can you help elect three champions of clean energy to the Senate? You can donate by clicking here." (Al Gore/Moveon)
