Mila Kunis finally gets her Marine Ball. Prince Harry is still partying in Las Vegas (and going to Cirque Du Soleil). Tareq Salahi is suing Michaele Salahi and Neal Schon for inscrutable reasons. Sunday gossip looks like an alien.

Why does Scarlett Johansson hate America's troops so much? She declined an invitation from a Marine Corps sergeant to attend the Marine Corps Ball.

This morning on the Access Hollywood Live program, co-host Billy Bush, the human embodiment of a Teddy Ruxpin doll, said that Mila Kunis will not be going on her Marine Corps Ball date. Oh no!

On Monday, we brought you the heartwarming story of Sgt. Scott Moore, a US Marine stationed in Afghanistan who posted a no-frills YouTube invitation to Mila Kunis, asking her to join him as his date to the Marine Corps Birthday Ball (held November 12 at the Gaylord Resort and Convention Center in Maryland). Her …

The departure of Scott Moore, head of Yahoo's Media Group, seemed hasty. Microsoft exec Jeff Dossett, in talks with Yahoo for an entirely different job, ended up replacing Moore. And in an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Moore only gave the vaguest of hints as to what he'd do next — which suggests he hadn't…

Scott Moore, the head of Yahoo Media Group, is leaving the company, reports BoomTown's Kara Swisher. A bad sign for the company: Moore ran some of Yahoo's most successful operations, including its news, finance, and sports websites. Why is Moore leaving now, having survived most of Yahoo's annus horribilis with his…

Yahoo Sports head James Pitaro will take over departing VP Karin Gilford's responsibilities as head of Yahoo Entertainment. But with no end to the Microsoft ordeal in sight, how long will Pitaro stay? Yahoo Media boss Scott Moore put Gilford in charge of Entertainment only this spring, but the promotion obviously…

When Scott Moore reorganized Yahoo's media business in April, we called VP Karin Gilford, head of Yahoo Entertainment, "the big winner." Now she's just another goner. Gilford has quit the company and will take a new job at Comcast. We admire Moore's ability to regularly crush the competition — In May, for example,…

Yahoo CEO-in waiting Sue Decker continues to push the company through yet another reorganization. An her minions aren't happy about it. One told Kara Swisher: “I am not sure right now, with all this drama and all this tension from Microsoft’s failed takeover and the rest of it, why we have to do this. This feels…

If Jeff Weiner, head of Yahoo's search, community, and media properties, leaves the company, who's left to run things? An outside hire seems unlikely, Michael Arrington points out, given Carl Icahn's fight with the Yahoo board. That leaves a battlefield promotion for one of Weiner's direct reports, shown here from…

CARLSBAD, CA — On stage at D6, Sue Decker couldn't offer any explanation why she was qualified to be president of Yahoo. But if you ask Valleywag, she's doing a bang-up job of pursuing Yahoo's strategy of embracing openness. For example, by holding a meeting within camera-lens length of Valleywag in the Four Seasons…

CARLSBAD, CA — How rarely can one give one's enemies an in-your-face comeuppance? For Yahoo's Scott Moore, the chance came during Time Warner CEO Jeff Bewkes's interview at D6. Bewkes claimed that AOL was No. 1 in news, finance, and a host of other categories. "Where are you getting your numbers?" asked Moore during…

Earnings season can bore, but behind some numbers, there's very human drama. Scripps, the home-and-garden media mini-empire, saw profits rise 22.8 percent to $84.1 million in the first quarter, thanks in large part to Scripps Interactive, led by former Yahoo executive Deanna Brown. Her unit swung to a profit of $21…

Departing Yahoo music chief Ian Rogers wasn't "reorganized out" of the company, a source tells us. "The reorg was caused by his departure with two days' notice." Rogers left for all the obvious reasons: to escape both Microsoft and — like others before him — Yahoo Media czar Scott Moore's high-pressure management…

Scott Moore, the former Microsoftie now running Yahoo's media businesses, has reorganized his group, which runs Yahoo's original-content websites. Out the door: Ian Rogers, the outspoken head of Yahoo Music, who had loudly criticized the music industry for insisting on copy protection. Rogers says on his blog that …

Now we know why Yahoo News general manager Amy Iorio surrounds herself with family at work. She's low on friends. That's sometimes what happens when you make a habit of parking in the spot Yahoo reserves for expectant mothers, as a tipster alleges Iorio did until caught. Iorio's "overly aggressive attitude" also…

Some take umbrage with our report suggesting buying Yahoo forces Microsoft to sell MSNBC.com to NBC. These sources claim MSNBC.com earns more money than Yahoo News and they'd be surprised to see Microsoft divest itself from such a profitable property. And where there's money, there's motive to renegotiate the contract…

"I shudder to think about a MSNBC.com and Yahoo News integration," a source formerly employed by both companies in the proposed Microsoft-Yahoo merger tell us. The "cultures," she says, "will be really tough to integrate." In that case, we're happy to report the good news: There's no way it will happen. Legally,…

Before the formal takeover offer came, an informal Microsoft takeover of Yahoo was already underway, thanks to Yahoo's hiring of several executives from the software giant. Some have even speculated that Microsoft has encouraged this poaching, using its ex-employees as plants to keep track from the inside on Yahoo's…

Former head of Yahoo Entertainment Vince Broady will leave the company, the New York Times reports. What? An executive pushed out as a result of Scott Moore's ascension? No way.
