afternoon clips: even less oscars edition

- Slate talks London Calling. A topic to which we will always listen. 

- In avoiding one lawsuit, Michael Jackson manages to get named in another. He should probably stop moving, talking, breathing, and oh yeah, molesting, to avoid any further litigation.

- Bummer for Cynthia Nixon. Miranda, don't you watch The OC? Living with your lesbian lover is all about paying rent, washing dishes, and being a responsible boring adult.

- Are we supposed to applaud this? Because I'm kind of disgusted. Still, I'm glad I pushed through and made it to the end for this enlightening financial tidbit "It's good to make your money into more money."

- Still more Oscar news: Vanity Fair held the best party, and the Rivers family can't find much fault in the fashion.
