Today's tidbit, from the New York Times, is that Martha Stewart Omnimedia, parent company of Martha, is looking for a new CEO, one that can, as the New York Times notes, "refocus attention on the company - and away from Ms. Stewart's legal troubles." Hmmm. Still, as her millions of fans will attest, Martha isn't solely the sum of her allegations. For an excellent assessment of why our favorite domesticatrix has such a fundamental appeal, see Caitlin Flanagan...
...what is the deal with this Seinfeld guy? Oppenheimer, whose credits include unauthorized biographies of Martha Stewart and Barbara Walters, doggedly interrogates Seinfeld's childhood pals, ex-girlfriends and business partners in search of an answer.

"Wind is competitive," wrote Mark Moody-Stewart, the former chairman of Royal Dutch/Shell who now co-chairs an alternative-energy task force for the Group of Eight, in a recent report. "This is not something to look forward to for the future--it is here today...
Tauzin now views the June 12 letter as an attempt to mislead the committee. "They tried to sandbag us," says Johnson. Stewart spokeswoman Allyn Magrino refused to comment on a possible Capitol Hill appearance. If Stewart comes in for a Tauzin meeting, it will be a return engagement. In 2000, he appeared on her show to promote his Cajun cookbook, Cook 'N Tell. This time he wants to swap more than recipes...
