The NY Observer wants to know why, in a month that might arguably be called financially eventful, Conde Nast Portfolio has put old-newsy sleaze-monger Dov Charney on its cover. They raise a good point: the American Apparel founder's creepiness, idiosyncrasies, success and commitment to "vertically-integrated manufacturing" are not exactly secrets. But it's kind of a good profile, and from it we've been able to extrapolate a definitive Dov Charney dossier than hopefully obviates the need to ever profile him again ever. More »

• Victoria Osteen, wife of megachurch pastor Joel Osteen, is in court today facing a lawsuit that her "on-board temper tantrum caused the [flight attendant Sharon Brown] to lose her religious faith and suffer a flare-up of hemorrhoids."

Two Democratic primaries could end — or breathe life into! — the Hillary campaign tonight, and so the timing seems somewhat suspicious (or maybe just auspicious! for whom? no idea!) that conservative hero Alex P. Keaton, champion of Reaganomics and wearing ties to school, would choose today to endorse Barack Obama. Was it Barry's economist's little rendevous with that Canadian consular officer that did it for Alex? Did Michelle's college thesis awaken Alex's inner Princetonophile? Or is it all just a personal jab at doubting Rush Limbaugh's sudden plea for his listeners to vote Hillary? Will this soap opera ever end?? (Oh god, please!) A serious discussion of why the black JFK can win over the nation's most beloved fictional supply-sider but not the Catholic vote with me and fellow Catholic Glamocracy's Megan Carpentier, after the jump!
