Media Blitz: No Time to Snooze During Headline News

• CNN Headline News' attempt to reinvent its Headline Prime as a zero attention span-friendly Fox News is paying off.

• Kent Brownridge can only spend so much time in cow country.

• The WSJ nips three inches off its hips while getting a full MAC color makeover.

Vogue plans an Indian edition, where thanks to malnutrition there are few hundred million young girls with the appropriate frail body type.

• CNBC's website gets a new look (video!), though probably still not enough to fend off Fox News' coming biz channel.

• Yahoo and Reuters team up to make anyone with a camera phone a roving paparazzi. Paid? Doesn't sound like it. But let's get all excited about citizen journalism again!

• Magazine publisher, philathorpist, billionaire, and Canadian Louise MacBain defaults on a charity cheque.

• CNET editor James Kim and his family still missing.

Jiblets: Ferrer turns to Broadway

• Rosaries have a new function: props in Lindsay Lohan's newest video. Actors playing Lohan's mom and sister (as well as the teen tart herself) are clutching the prayer beads while duking it out with an actor playing Lohan's father.

• What do you do when your campaign is sinking? Hire dancers! Mayoral candidate Freddy Ferrer is looking for a few good men to do an ad for him, a la The Sopranos. Once the twinkletoes find out that it's Ferrer that they're dancing to, they tap, tap, tap their troubles away…right to the exit door.

• Not only does Martha Stewart make a better Creme Fraiche than you, she sweats better than you too.

• Now that Donald Trump is about to be a daddy again, you can be sure he'll turn it into a marketing gimmick.

• Having turned his back on Wired.com, Adam Penenberg pops up on Slate today for his first column. Something about combating plagiarism at universities, but we're just using it as an excuse to chronicle his employer hopscotch.

• So what about those naked photos of Kevin Federline? We're too busy watching his goods swing low, sweet chariot.

• As Chinese Vogue editor Angelica Cheung launches the fashion book franchise in the world's most populous nation, we have a feeling she'll spend much less time than Anna Wintour defending her anti-fat girl policies.
