Idle Chatter: Mort Zuckerman, Hannah Montana...
-Mort Zuckerman thinks he can get Newsday on the cheap -- or, at any rate, without topping Rupert Murdoch's $580 million bid -- because a sale to him would have fewer regulatory hurdles. [NYT]
-That naughty Annie Leibovitz got 15-year-old Miley "Hannah Montanah" Cyrus to pose "topless" (meaning wearing a bedsheet rather than a shirt) for Vanity Fair, and we, as a nation, are scandalized. [AP]
-The Takeaway, WNYC's new morning show, debuted today. Will it put the hurt on Soterios Johnson & Co.? [WSJ]
-The American Family Association isn't down with "explicit open-mouth homosexual kissing," on As The World Turns or anywhere else, dammit. [Ad Age]
-The Capital Times, a Madison, Wis., newspaper, has converted to online-only publication. [NYT]
-In other farewells, New York Daily News gossip columnist Ben Widdicombe's calling it quits. [Gatecrasher]
