In your gale-force Thursday media column: Juan Williams is controversial, more magazines die, Wonkette launches a spinoff, and teen sex remains incredibly popular:

• It's still unclear what set off Chris Brown and Rihanna's fight on Sunday night (and both have been tucked away in hiding since it occurred). Could it have had something to do with Leona Lewis? Paris Hilton? Was a sexually transmitted disease involved? One person Brown might want to consider explaining himself to is Jay-Z, who reportedly "hit the roof" when he found out about the attack and is now telling friends that Chris is a "walking dead man." [Star, OK!, Gawker, NYP]
• Mickey Rourke and Courtney Love have been secretly dating for the past three weeks. Sounds like a perfect match. [Telegraph]
• Prince Harry is in trouble for making racially-insensitive comments. [Sun]

Note: We're redacting the prosecution's list of the two video files and three images they allegedly found on Bruns' computer because of their highly graphic descriptions of sex acts involving girls they describe in two instances as "under the age of 10," and in two others as "under the age of five."

Gawker has obtained the criminal complaint and arrest warrant filed by federal prosecutors against Fox News producer Aaron Bruns, including the affidavit of the detective who investigated him. Here's how they say it went down.

Aaron Bruns, a Fox News producer previously best known for following Hillary Clinton on the 2008 campaign trail, has been arrested for possession of child porn, TVNewser reports. The network has suspended him without pay.

Esquire has a profile of every liberal's favorite Fox News jockey Shep Smith this month. It's cute-ish and funny, but a bit murky. Just who is this guy? Is he friend or foe?

• HarperCollins announced layoffs and a major reorg today. [NYO, Gawker]
• No one wants to take the editor job at OK! [Page Six]
• Ron Burkle's magazine distribution company is suing a bunch of publishing companies for trying to drive it out of business. We should be so lucky. [NYP]

A Fox News anchor finds the words "Top Cop" so difficult to read off the teleprompter he finally just gives up and says "ah, whatever." It's not the first time this has happened!

What will the Obama years mean for Fox News? Plenty of MSNBC bashing; Rush Limbaugh martyrdom; and conservative think tank hacks complimenting conservative media hacks. This video compilation foreshadows four years of fairness and balance.

Jessica Alba, a creature made manifest by a teenage boy's gypsy wish, is getting probably the only good press of her life, for calling Bill O'Reilly an asshole while being interviewed by Fox News.

On all the liberal conspiracy networks — CNN, MSNBC, etc. — the inauguration is the most momentous event ever. History! For those who hate hope, Fox News is on the air. Compare after the jump.

Whats going on with Twitter? First Fox News gets hacked, then Britney Spears. Is no one safe from this epidemic?

This is currently the lead post on the official Fox News Twitter page. Hackers are cool again.

"Let's hope the Magic Negro does a good job," is the New Year's wish of "Jen and John C," courtesy of the Fox News crawler. Hey, thanks for that. Click through for the clip:

The holiday season gives an ever-scrutinized media elite the one true liberation: That feeling no one's really watching! The madness descends in this clip from Fox and Friends:

Did you know that when the stock market goes down, media bosses get poorer like magic? It's true — and the fact that it's a totally obvious point doesn't make it any less fun!

Media Matters offers an admirably comprehensive look at Fox News dog-man Sean Hannity's most wet-brained (but creative!) Obama smears of the entire campaign. Here are the five cleverest, RadicalTerroristBlackPowerCriminal:

Fox News is famous for its pathologically agressive flackery—hiring the meanest flacks in the business, and smearing reporters, detractors, and competitors. But rival CNBC is learning to be just as bitchy as Fox itself!

Fox News' Roger Friedman has made an annual holiday tradition of probing Will Smith's tax returns. And Smith traditionally insists he's not a Scientologist, despite showering the cult with money. Especially this year.

These last few months, Fox News anchor Shep Smith has been acting weird. Liberal weird. Now we're sure something's wrong, because good ol' Shep is talking up Hussein Obama, and talking down god:
