-The Today show's executive producer, Jim Bell, is stepping down. [NYP]

-Actually, he's not. [TVNewser]

-Page Six is awfully upset about journalistic impropriety in the New York Times Book Review, but surprisingly okay with ripping off someone else's scoop. [P6/Galleycat]

-Speaking of The Page, they were really not happy about Vanessa Grigoriadis's New York magazine cover story on Gawker. [P6]

-AOL is "only" laying off 2,000 people, or 20 percent of its workforce, and not 4,000, as Valleywag had predicted. Whew? [Bloomberg]

-Those slots on MarketWatch and WSJ.com that CNBC was supposed to get yesterday? Surprise, surprise: Fox Business took 'em. [NYT]

-Now you can watch Jakob Lodwick and Julia Allison adore each other in hi-def. [Alley Insider]
