She may have nailed her impersonation of Alaska’s foremost she-grizzly, Sarah Palin, and big snaps to her hairdresser while we’re at it, but Tina Fey says in her new ingeniously titled memoir, “Bossypants,” that playing Palin didn’t amount to big ratings for her main act, “30 Rock.”

A visitor to the National Gallery in Washington apparently saw something she really didn’t like in Gauguin’s “Two Tahitian Women.” Last Friday, she allegedly rushed the lush image and set to it with her fists, to the alarm of onlookers and gallery staff.

The once-mighty British television empire has fallen to the blitzkrieg of inane American tele-teens.

Talk about building a brand: He’s played an action hero and a president, and now Arnold Schwarzenegger is starring in his own combination comic book and cartoon franchise, clearly the logical next step for California’s former governor. Really, Stan Lee?

The business brains behind Google tells The Atlantic about his decidedly low-tech taste in information: “For me, there’s no better place to get accurate, fresh information—well-reported information—than a newspaper.” Schmidt reads both the paper and Web editions of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, and prefers “paper and ink” books to e-readers.
