"The last time they were seen taking to the skies together it was in a 1948 Ford convertible. Now, 30 years after that scene at the end of Grease, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John flew again - this time in Qantas airline's new Airbus super jumbo .. But qualified pilot Travolta looked as though he was fighting the ageing process, wearing what looked like a toupee." (Thisislondon)
"Colin Powell’s endorsement of Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee, has put him at odds with his own son, former Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Michael Powell. Michael Powell, who served as a policy adviser to Vice President Dick Cheney, is a surrogate for John McCain and represents the GOP nominee on the campaign trail. He endorsed McCain early in the Republican primary in January .. The younger Powell .. who still has much of his career in front of him, has lined up solidly behind McCain. If McCain becomes president he could appoint Powell to several administration positions." (TheHill)
"Hours before raving about girlfriend Samantha Ronson on her blog, LiLo was flirting with TV’s Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford. We’re told the 22-year-old actress, who recently 'came out' about her girl-on-girl love for the DJ, has also got a crush on chiselled Chace, 23. After meeting him at the Diesel XXX Rock party in New York, the pair swapped numbers – and she has been calling him up to four times a day ever since." (3AMGirls)
"We've come to expect a certain amount of raw 'manliness' from our American Presidents, but George W. Bush may have been the straw that broke the proverbially camel's back on the importance of that particular skillset. What is a President if he -- and invariably it has always been a he (averted gaze) -- cannot crack a Macadamia nut 'tween his forefinger and thumb? Previous to 'Dubya,' Presidents from George Washington, who excelled in the manly arts of colt-breaking and wrestling to the rail-splitting Lincoln were expected to be manly men. They had what I like to call 'the rib-busting ox-strength.' Reagan, after his fashion, ostentatiously cleared brush. And Teddy Roosevelt best of all understood Power and exercised it at every opportunity." (Ron Mwangaguhunga/HuffPo)
"When it rains, it pours, especially if you're over-leveraged Sumner Redstone. Despite Monday's stock market rally, the share price for his videogame publisher Midway Games hit the skids and lost a whopping 12% of its market value ...Redstone already is said to be in talks with bankers to renegotiate terms on $1.6 billion in debt because of the losses in value of his contrlling shares of CBS and Viacom used as collateral. Geez, it wasn't long ago that other media moguls were envious of Redstone for having the foresight to invest in videogames -- which he once boasted were 'the hottest part of the entertainment industry' -- not for Viacom but for his personal portfolio."

"Which two Washington Times reporter got into a heated shouting match yesterday in front of the entire newsroom? Hint: One of the reporters is the same one alluded to in this post..." (FishbowlDC)
"'Diversity' was the buzzword for Spring, and we're happy to report that our top ten list (of supermodels) is a multiculti mix—with just two new faces hailing from modeling's most prolific breeding ground, Russia. The girls who caught our attention come from Senegal, China, India, and West Philly." (Style)
"McCain camp denies report that they've conceded Colorado, but GOPers there say the state is slipping away from them." (Markambinder/Twitter)
"It was a British invasion Thursday night as Glenda Bailey and guests toasted British interior designer David Collins to celebrate his debut residential collection, The Charles, in the London Penthouse of The London New York. Rachel Roy, Olivia Chantecaille, Oluchi Orlandi, Bazaar's Laura Brown and Kristina O'Neill and Project Runway finalist Kenley Collins showed up to the event, where they were served canapés by (who else?) Gordon Ramsay." (Fashionweekdaily)
"The go-north strategy assumes McCain thinks he can hold Virginia. But, even though VA wasn't named in yesterday's CNN story about states at least one McCain insider considers 'gone,' his chances there are looking awfully bleak, even if you assume a surprise Bradley effect. If Virginia's gone, too, then PA really is McCain's last shot." (TNR)
