Port Authority Starves JFK Cat Town!

The saga of the happy cat camp at JFK airport has become even more grim today. A memo from Port Authority General Manager Susan Baer reveals just how far the Authority is willing to go to feed their sick blood lust.

Gossip Roundup: Jonathan Rhys Meyers In Rehab!

  • Tudors hottie Jonathan Rhys Meyers has entered an undisclosed treatment facility. "He felt a break was needed in order to maintain his recovery," says his rep. "What! What was he addicted to, beauty?" asks our Josh Stein. No Josh: Alkie-hol. That's why he was so fun! [People]

  • Also, do she and Laurie David secretly hate each other? [Gatecrasher]
  • Martha Stewart has her priorities in order. "Any man hoping to please her better like cats. After her divorce, one would-be suitor 'sat down in a wing chair in my parlor and, all of sudden, there were six cats sitting all over him.... He said, 'I hate cats.' ... I didn't see him again.'

    My own attitude almost reminds me of the epigraph to Nabokov's Pale Fire. The one from Boswell's Life of Johnson in which Dr. Johnson is ruminating about a crazed young man going around London shooting cats. And then reverting to thoughts of his own cat, Hodge, Johnson says (I'm doing this from memory: "But Hodge shan't be shot. No, no, Hodge shan't be shot."
