The Week In Narcissism: Courtney Love, Jason Binn, Lloyd Grove
↑ Courtney Love dragged off to Bellevue after bottle-throwing, obscenity-screaming, post-abortion incident. Just when ya think the old girl can't bring the tabloid magic, she really pulls through. Bless you, Courtney! Happy birthday!
↑ Haley Binn and husband, Gotham publisher Jason Binn, take Aspen and Manhattan. High society + high anxiety = high barfability.
↑ A nasty peek under the cover of the garbage bin in which New York's gossip columnists work — starring Daily News boy Lloyd Grove as Oscar the Grouch.
↑ Looking for a talking head for your TV show? Try sampling from our ever-growing list of available black pundits!
↑ They didn't respond to requests for comment (we pretended to be reporters for you!), but the Society of Publication Designers has evidently secretly fired executive director Bride Whelan. Allegations be flying!
↑ Ed Needham, free from Rolling Stone, is the happiest editor in New York.
↓ Someday the NYT will print the four-letter words that my grandmother uses every day.
↓ Is Cargo editor Ariel Foxman's happy family a dysfunctional nightmare? For the record, it's been brought to my attention that the business end staff is very happy in their jobs, although the word from editorial is sad all around.
↓ A long week for the NY Post. Oddly, after your blaring huge-type front-cover exclusive is incredibly wrong, people start to think that you behave fast and loose with facts. How 'bout that?
