Oh, if we had a nickel for every time we tried that line, George...

And body-image issues must be chief among those problems, it'd seem. Thanks, media.

Slobodan Milosevic died Saturday, as you certainly know by now. Since then, authorities have determined that he died of a heart attack and that an unprescribed medication was in his bloodstream, and they have not yet been able to rule out suicide. The good news, however, is that actor Bill Murray was unharmed.

We know you don't like the media, Donnie. And we know the media aren't perfect. But here's the thing: You go to war with the media you have, not the media you might want or wish to have at a later time.

Considering anyone with a camera crew is down in New Orleans right now for Mardi Gras, the town has become a happy media melting pot. To wit, our man in Louisiana reports that the other night, at a restaurant called Cuvee, he was sitting at the table next to cable news anchor Bill Hemmer, who's lately on Fox News after being dumped by CNN last May. At one point, the Today show's Al Roker happened to walk between the two tables. "Hey, Al!" said Hemmer, but the look of confusion on Roker's face made it clear that the he had no idea who the perky white guy was. "I'm Bill Hemmer," he clarified. "You know, I was on CNN."

Major, breaking, top news from CNN:

The Coop, clearly in his element on St. Charles Avenue.

Sigh. See, like we said, the problem was that Coop didn't actually write the 40YOV blog post; correspondent Randi Kaye did. Which meant we were looking for jokes that didn't presume our Anderson was the one teaching readers how to become revirginized.

• Mass Appeal mag turns 10 and launches a spinoff, presumably for even masser appeal. [Folio:]
• Emeril says Cindy Adams fabricated a quote from him. Only in New Orleans, kids, only in New Orleans. [Times-Picayune]
• Reporters go out in the snow to tell us it's snowing, and a CNN hero wonders why. [NYT]

Yes, we saw it, too:

• Fighting back against Fox News, whose ratings dwarf CNN's, Jon Klein savors small victories. Which makes sense, because there ain't been a whole lot of big ones. [NYT]
• Conde Nast is running out of ad inventory. [WWD]
• Nick Kristof manages the delicate trick of making Jack Shafer feel a little bit bad for Bill O'Reilly. [Slate]
• Icahn and Wasserstein's TW plans don't don't help thing. [NYT]

Jeez, the poor guy. It must be terrible to feel abandoned by the administration in your hour of need.

CNN headline, right now:

Thank God we have serious news organizations on the web, to clarify what really matters.

If you're still shopping for a V-Day gift for your favorite newshound — or, hey, if you're looking to buy us a little something — we've found the perfect piece of jewelry: The Anderson Cooper pendant. Priced to move at just $20, this custom-made bauble is, like the man itself, stylish, compassionate, and rightfully indignant (if not, in this case, topped with silver). Plus, we're pretty sure giving it will get you laid.

Only if that wabbit stops taunting me, replied Mr. Fudd.

Burnt Danish? Great. Now breakfast is ruined, too.

We haven't read the article, but this is an easy one: No, there is no limit.
