Shelley Ross is a former executive producer at Good Morning America and the CBS Early Show. She's most famous for being disliked by her employees, and then having said employees snitch to the media about how much they hated her.

Have you read Misconception, a page-turner of a "reproductive thriller," self-published by fertility specialist Dr. Avner Hershlag? Well, you might want to jump on that baby now, before a major publisher buys it and hikes up the price considerably. That's because Hershlag — who happens to be the dad of Natalie Portman — has been shopping the book around.

Pervy American Apparel CEO Dov Charney told The Village Voice's Rosie Gray that he is "touched" to be "one of Gawker's death subjects," and while we never thought we'd say this, we are deeply excited to be touching Dov Charney (apparently to death?):

From the New York Post today:

The Atlantic has compiled a list of Sarah Palin's feuds that have broken out in the media, which it can't stop updating as more and more come to memory. Here's the long list thus far, which includes this lil' old website here.

Inspired by San Francisco, a new bill before the New York City Council seeks to put dietary restrictions on meals that come with free toys. They better watch out. I'd hate to run into Ronald McDonald in a dark alley.

Barack Obama is having a big live Facebook meeting later this month. Ordinary Americans can submit their questions here, and then Facebook's billionaire 26-year-old CEO and his underlings will decide which ones the president actually answers. Internet democracy is great.

Ke$ha invites Britney to get naked with her. Rosie O'Donnell is on Team Chris Brown. Christina Aguilera giggles at her "hiccups." Lindsay Lohan causes another fender-bender. Tuesday gossip is hit or miss.

Last week, the owner of the fiery death trap Deepwater Horizon oil rig, Transocean Ltd., announced in a SEC filing that it was handing out huge bonuses to its top executives for the "best year in safety performance in our company's history." Transocean CEO and big bonus recipient Steve Newman also made a point that of the 11 crew members who died on the oil rig last year, 9 of them were Transocean employees. Who cares about those other guys, right? Unsurprisingly, that filing pissed off a lot of people. So now they're really sorry for saying that... really!

Now that we know who the 2011 NCAA champions are, we can really start to focus on the brackets for Katie Couric's CBS Evening News replacement. And if any of you had 60 Minutes correspondent Scott Pelley as your top pick, TMZ says you're right! Possibly.

[Biggest Star in the Universe] + [Cornrowed Product of His Seed*] + [Widely Loathed Director Addicted to Twist Endings] = Apocalypse Soon.

That was fast: Six months after he started seeing Alexandra Lenas, Sean Parker is engaged to the singer/songwriter. Parker has made a number of sudden life changes since Justin Timberlake played him in The Social Network, actually.

It's semi-official: Katie Couric is leaving as the CBS Evening News anchor. Although only old people watch evening newscasts, the position still carries a definite cultural cachet. Who's next? We handicap, below.

It's tempting to fly Southwest Airlines these days to avoid being totally extorted by the bigger carriers, even if you have to endure seven layovers between New York and Chicago. But by now you've probably heard about the Southwest flight that had to make an emergency landing after the roof literally tore open last week. Scary, sure. But that's not necessarily cause to avoid flying Southwest altogether, right? Well, yesterday three more Southwest planes were found to have cracks similar to the five-footer from last week.

Madonna's private school for girls in Malawi has collapsed amid scandal. Now it looks like another one of her charities is up to something weird. Her international educational charity Success for Kids is being looked into by the FBI, according to The Daily. It is unclear for what, exactly, but it's not for being too fabulous. Something about "several irregularities and suspicious activity?"

The chairman of the British soccer club Fulham, Mohamed Al Fayed — who's still creepily obsessed with his son Dodi's relationship to Princess Diana — has some choice words for fans of the team who don't like the new Michael Jackson statue outside of the stadium:

While Libyan rebels can't seem to hold any ground in a protracted fight with forces loyal to Muammar Qaddafi, the Brother Leader's slimy son Seif al-Islam has come up with an ingenious proposal: to put himself in charge of a "transition to constitutional democracy," according to the Times, speaking with diplomats in the know. That's pretty rich coming from a guy who last month said of the rebellion, "We will not be tolerant. We will fight to the end," and blamed terrorists for the unrest as opposed to his family's four decades of repression. But hey, he's gotta try something, right? And we're sure he'd be willing to relinquish whatever power he gives himself once that "transition" happens, too.

Remember Transocean Ltd., the company that owned the BP-operated Deepwater Horizon oil rig that exploded in a hellish ball of fire, killing 11 workers and setting off the massive Gulf oil spill last year? In documents filed with the SEC on Friday, the company announced it was handing out bonuses to senior executives for overseeing the "best year in safety performance in our company's history." Perhaps that's because, as Transocean CEO Steve Newman wrote in a statement, "Of the 126-member crew [on the Deepwater Horizon], 115 were safely evacuated." He also points out that only 9 of the 11 dead were Transocean employees.

Everyone knows people who buy designer clothes are shallow assholes. But it looks like everyone is a shallow asshole. People apparently hold other people in higher regard simply if they're wearing clothes with a designer label.

The synthetic fake weed known as "spice" — the scourge of America's armed forces — has claimed the career of another Naval Academy midshipman, bringing the total number of students expelled for taking bong rips of expensive oregano to 12. From Reuters:
