Idle Chatter: O'Reilly vs. Alf, BriWi, Jim Cramer...
-No. This isn't happening. Bill O'Reilly is not actually having Alf, the cat-eating space alien puppet who enjoyed brief fame 20 years ago, as a guest on his show tonight. Right? Right?! [YouTube]
-Seeking to avoid the fate of CBS, which lost its presidential debate over worries about a possible strike, ABC News has agreed on a new contract for its writers. [TV Week]
-How easy is it to generate a tabloid-worthy scoop about Britney Spears? That depends. Do you have a smart phone and a camera? [HuffPo]
-Why is Brian Williams on Late Night with Conan O'Brien so often? "The true answer is I'm on his cancellation list. So when you're in the talk show business there is always some young movie star who can't get out of her hotel room in the morning.... So there are a number of us, there's Roker, Brokaw, Lauer, me.

-Fox Business will have to continue its search for an off-brand Jim Cramer, because the real one just signed a new multi-year deal with CNBC. [ICN]
