Last night, in a close race, Boston City Council member John Connolly lost his bid for mayor. But to his credit, he commemorated his defeat in the most Boston way possible: Getting into a public fight with his son's hockey coach. Whose name is Sully.

James "Whitey" Bulger, the Boston crime boss who inspired Jack Nicholson's character in The Departed, was finally arrested in Santa Monica, of all places, after more than 15 years on the lam.

Here are some of the crazed rumors we've heard about the Vanity Fair story that John Connolly is writing about alleged financier-perv* billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, of whom it is alleged that he retained a procurer of underage girls. Oh my God, we heard that Bill Clinton came into 4 Times Square and told Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter that this expose of Epstein must not run and of course Graydon folded like a paper doll. And also we heard alleged former Epstein alleged friend Ron Burkle is Danny A's backer on every club he opens and Burkle does that to harvest pretty young things then flies them to L.A. and allegedly sells them to Epstein and alleged movie-producer Steve "Bing Laden" Bing and it is this cabal of partying hedonists that has prevented the piece from running! And also we heard that Prince Andrew (the one who divorced Fergie!) and the royal family interceded, promising to shut down Graydon Carter's restaurant The Waverly Inn if this piece runs and that is all why it has not seen the light of day yet!

Maer Roshan's new mag Radar isn't even on the stands yet, and it's already stirring up controversy. Radar reporter John Connolly was assigned an investigative piece on Doug Morris, the head of Universal Music Group. Ex-Sony Music chief Tommy Mottola has been trying to negotiate some sort of deal with UMG and wants the piece "to go away." The story isn't finished yet, but Morris is reportedly nervous because Radar is backed by ex-HBO exec Michael Fuchs, who once fired Morris when they were working at Warner Music Group. Morris returned the favor by getting Fuchs fired shortly thereafter. Next up: UMG artist 50 Cent writes rap song called "Fuchs you, bee-yatch!"
