What's going to happen next year when television news collapses in on itself like a huge black hole? There will be no more tv news reporters to have children. And if tv news reporters don't have children, then with what, pray tell, will other tv news reporters have sex. And if tv news reporters don't have sex with the children of other tv news reporters, there will be no more babies, thus ending the cycle of children of tv news reporters, so the tv news reporters won't be able to have secks with anyone, but then again, they won't exist because television died. And then we will all die, slowly and painfully. That makes me sad.

Thank GOD! For a second I was terrified this was going to make me think about Michael Wolff having sex. False alarm, yay!

I'm just sad for her that the Amazon baby gift registry is talking to Page 6. Greenfield thought they were better friends than that.

Ahh, you make the mistake many make. Having a mistress has to do with money, not looks.

The fact that this guy has a wife AND mistress, with the looks he has, says something about the depth of the male dating pool in NYC. Something not good.

Facebook should give its users a "Sort-of Married" status option.

@stabbycat: It should give the same status he undoubtedly gave his mistress: "Technically married, but this marriage has been over for a long time, baby. We're really just in it for the kids." For his wife it should just show "Married."

Irrelevant to this post, but relevant to me-glorious-me: I hate Facebook status notification. After simply turning off my relationship status, Faceook sent a message to every one of my friends saying that I was "no longer single." Within five minutes, I was getting text messages asking me who the lucky person was.

Facebook should be eradicated.

@BadUncle: Users can modify which status messages are announced (or not) under the account privacy settings. (The same place where you can control who sees what of your profile.)

That isn't to say FB doesn't have it's flaws, but sometimes the users need to be a bit more proactive.

@LeftCoastLady: See, I disagree. It should not be incumbent on the user to be "more proactive," but for Facebook to be more discrete. The default setting shouldn't zero out privacy. And users shouldn't have to learn this setting issue on, oh, say, Gawker.

@BadUncle: I've been playing phone tag for weeks with a friend whose status updated as "no longer in a relationship" trying to find out if she is recently dumped, or just decided to hide her relationship status.

@BadUncle: See, I'd put more onus on the user because, in theory, if you're accepting someone as your friend, then you shouldn't care if they see the various status messages.

Why should FB's default be set to more discreet just because users have varying levels of friends (co-workers, clients, etc.)? That's asking the application to be far more intuitive when all a user has to do is click a few checkboxes to determine how much information they want to share with the world.

And if users don't know about this information, then maybe they need to take some time to learn about FB's policies a bit more before installing all those insane applications where there is more potential for your privacy to be compromised.

@LeftCoastLady: In any other social network - be it of the flesh or of the screen - the organization doesn't notify it's membership of every movement one makes. But, let's assume for the sake of argument that I wanted most of my life on public display (because, let's face it, facebook "friendship" is a term that covers a broad range of social and professional relationships). It would still defy logic that when one turns off a piece of personal biographical information, that Facebook should spread the word. It's implicit that this information is not for public consumption. And had I known that the nuance-free world of social clumsiness that is Facebook would do so, I would have scoured through every permission on the system.

as it stands, I'm simply removing all personal information, and leaving my resume.

His wife's a divorce lawyer. Which means one of two things:

1. She is in complete denial (in the "physician, heal thyself" mode)
2. She will take him to the cleaners
