As the World Burns...
Just this morning, Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice was talking to the Associated Press in New York about the frustrating ongoing negotiations with Iraq regarding the governance of U.S. soldiers deployed there. How to top that off? From a reader: "Condi Rice is getting her nails done RIGHT NOW at Lovely Tender nails on w 72nd street between columbus and amsterdam." Do not approach! Secret Service will frag your ass! Update! Commenter Clarence Rosario sends photographic evidence (after the jump), and notes, "We boo'd her pretty soundly." More » -

Chelsea Clinton's Head Held High
Insta-stalker: "Just spotted Chelsea Clinton twice on Fifth Avenue and 23rd St. as I was coming to and going from the gym. Hot and not at all embarking on the 'my-mom-should-have-conceded' walk of shame." She's no reason to be ashamed! Now she gets to be the first lady president! -

Michelle Obama: Not In New York
Note to America: Michelle Obama is not in New York. Whoever sent in yesterday's Michelle Obama sighting to Gawker Stalker was incorrect. She was not in New York and "she has Secret service now so she does not enter through front doors," according to one emailer. Elitist. Anyway, Michelle's communications director wrote in last night to ask us to pull that sighting down, "as it is creating GREAT confusion." The truth is we are not sure how the map works and are unable to pull anything down from it. But we are still sorry about confusion. Shame on you, anonymous Gawker Stalker who submitted the sighting. By which we mean, obviously, Maureen Dowd. -

Fans Debate Hidden Messages In Soprano Restaurant Scene
"Just had my lunch paid for by James Gandolfini at my local McDonald's on the corner of 39th Street and 2nd Ave. He was a little disheveled but completely recognizable and so nice. As he was walking away from the counter... he left $40 and told the woman at the register that he'd be paying for my roommate's and my food. He smiled graciously and walked out. Ohhh Tony!" -

No Smoking (Until a Celeb Lights Up)
It turns out that Beatrice Inn—that beloved Village hotspot and home to so many Page Six characters—is nothing but a common coke den! A stalker reports: "Josh Hartnett came into Beatrice around 1:30am with a blonde girl and two attractive guys. Literally went to the bathroom four times within one half hour, always with one of his delegates (one time with two of them). Also, none of the security guys were letting anyone smoke until he lit up a cigarette and suddenly the No Smoking signs were ignored by everyone. Plus, dude is TALL and gorgeous, even with the Pedro 'stache." -

It's Remarkably Easy To Stalk Anderson Cooper
Silver-maned CNN heartthrob Anderson Cooper's New Year's Resolution was to "blog more." And blog more he has, taking time during the commercial breaks of his nightly CNN program to join in the online discussion of the events of the day. But, as he explained last night to Conan O'Brien, this allows his "stalkers" to find him. Stalkers like the woman—"clearly deranged," in the words of Cooper—who crashed his book signing and made him take a crazy letter. Then, King of Comedy-style, she ended up in his waiting limo. Thanks to blogging, and to bloggers like us, and like him, stalking Anderson Cooper is apparently not that hard. It's easier than stalking Conan, as we learn in the anecdote's surprise twist ending. Full clip attached. [NBC] -

Owen Wilson's Death Wish In Plain Sight
Owen Wilson just flew by me down Second Avenue on his trusty bicycle, his adorable dirty hair feathered back, his shirttails flapping, his nose not as freakishly prominent as it sometimes becomes in the proximity of Wes Anderson. The bazillions of stalker sightings we've gotten in the last week of Owen, always on his bike, suggest that perhaps he is on some bizarre biking marathon around New York? (Yesterday: "Owen Wilson almost ran me over on his baby blue beach cruiser"; the day before: "I saw Owen Wilson riding his bike west on Prince St crossing through the intersection of Broadway.") Perhaps someone is holding his brother Luke hostage and demanding that his bike not slow below 20 mph, like some Us Weekly version of "Speed 4"? In any event: SOMEONE PLEASE BUY OWEN WILSON A HELMET. I've always wanted to see inside his crazy head but not literally and his lack of respect for cabs during lane changes is stunning.

our sad little lives
Stalking Rupert Murdoch
Every morning we wake up at a distressingly early hour, gather our belongings, and head into a darkened office. More often than not we bump our knee on the table near the thing that opens the grate even though we've done it every day for the last month before and should know better by this point. We turn on our computer, crank up a little music (we're listening to a lot of Eyvind Kang's The Story of Iceland a lot lately; also, the Philip Bailey-Phil Collins duet "Easy Lover," for some reason), and start assimilating every different, and often not-so-very different, story out there about Rupert Murdoch's attempt to purchase Dow Jones.

Spiking The Punch At Young Adult Author Prom
Last night was Prom Night for Manhattan's Young Adult authors! This prom wasn't like high school prom, though. It was held on the Lower East Side, no one arrived in a limo, and you could openly purchase and drink alcohol. Also, everyone there was pretty much a grown-up. The party was a benefit for Advocates for Youth, a group that works to protect young people's right to sexual education. It also celebrated the publication of 21 Proms, a collection of young adult short stories, sales of which will also benefit the charity. Oddly enough, Deadspin editor Will Leitch and Gawker co-editor Emily Gould both found themselves at this event. What follows is their ill-advised morning-after postmortem. Will anyone sit with them in the cafeteria ever again? More » -

Ralph Fiennes And His Mystery Woman Take Manhattan
Former stewardess-doer Ralph Fiennes took New York by storm this weekend—all the while in the company of a mystery woman. Or! Mystery women? His companion is unsurprisingly described as blonde and lithe. Mr. Fiennes has been spotted so many places—and by no reports acting like a cad!—that we thought we should map it out for you. (Click to enlarge.) A key follows. More »
