The world's most inept attempted insider traders (at Disney) are pleading guilty to fraud charges.

We hug them, we kiss them, we put our children in their arms. Who are the strange people in the furry costumes at Disney World, and are they pervs? After Donald Duck grabbed her boob, a 27-year-old is suing Disney.

Disney has finally completed its excruciatingly long quest to sell Miramax. Price: $660 million. Buyers: an investment group headed by Ron Tutor, a California construction mogul. Non-buyers: the Weinsteins, Ron Burkle, Rob Lowe. Watch Pulp Fiction in their honor. [LAT]

He's going to war. Z war! Also today: that Barefoot Bandit kid gets his own feature film written by a hottie boombalottie, old grampa Disney needs some help from its hip and popular grandkid, and some Dragon Tattoo casting news.

In your inspirational Thursday media column: Miramax may be nearing a sale, a motorcycle writer canned for writing honestly about motorcycle things, Science vs. Pepsi controversy resolved, Tina Gaudoin rejoins the WSJ, and NPR name change alert!

Now that home sales are plunging again and prices are set to plummet, it's time to take advantage of the opportunity to buy yourself a brand new home somewhere terrible. Which of these hellacious real estate nightmares do you prefer?

It really never will, declares HBO. Also today: lots of casting news, including a Real World cast member who continues to make good. New teen programming sounds teeny. And a romantic weeper finds its cast.

Here's a trailer for Tangled, Disney's terribly titled Rapunzel animated movie musical. The look of the film is inspired by "The Swing," though it's rendered in cold 3D computer animation. This is something of a disappointment.

We always laugh when, say, someone's arrested for brazenly offering weed for sale on Craigslist. Our apologies to those fools. It turns out that the dumbest criminals of all are trying to pull off insider trading. Very, very poorly.

As was whispered about on Friday, Harvey and Bob Weinstein's deal with Disney to buy back their little Miramax indie studio (yeah, we said "indie studio") has fallen through. Disney has gotten up from the table and won't return. [WSJ]

Film moguls Harvey and Bob Weinstein finally won back Miramax, the company they founded, from Disney, and now they're losing it again. The deal seems to have fallen through after weeks of negotiations. Can't these guys get a break? [LAT]

In a reimagined Duck Tales intro, the Beagle Boys enact sexually charged violence against Webby Vanderquack in a ransom plot designed only to replenish the sadistic Scrooge McDuck's money swimming pool. Why Disney never developed the storyline is a mystery.

There's nothing wrong with reusing good ideas, but we'd never have guessed that Disney ripped themselves off so many times. From Robin Hood to Cinderella, watching these classic clips from our childhood favorites will make you smile today.

If this catches on, half of Hollywood's females will fall into poverty. Casting for their fourth Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney specifies that fake breasts are not permitted, and actresses will be subjected to pre-shoot jiggle tests to check.

In a single hour, Macy's sold 72,000 bottles of Beyonce's new perfume yesterday. If you think that's impressive, check out all the other stuff she uses her famous face to sell. A portrait of the artist as a commodity.

This is quite the editing feat. Video from various Disney movies is sync'd up (almost) perfectly to match the audio from the Mean Girls trailer. The idea is brilliant, and the execution is even better.

In 1945, Salvador Dalí and Disney began collaborating on a project that would have been the surrealist's only animated film. With only 18 seconds finished by the original artists, the short was completed in 2003 from storyboards.

Disney is marketing Alice in Wonderland to Goths with a soundtrack featuring The Cure and "an extensive line of clothing and accessories" at Hot Topic, including a "black shackle bracelet for $10." So much for that. [WSJ]
