Late Breaks: Questions to Ponder

-Will sovereign wealth funds from the Arab world buy ailing U.S. newspapers now that they can be had so cheaply? [Newsosaur]

-How annoyed must Entertainment Weekly be that it put the new Harry Potter movie on the cover of its fall movie preview -- only to have Warner Bros. move the film to next summer? [Gawker]

-It was probably inevitable that someone would accuse Fox News of making Barack Obama look "blacker" in photos. But did the charges have to be so totally flimsy? [Demver]

-Could we have a new winner for the worst celebrity profile ever? [Daily Intel]

-Who will buy Reed Business Information, home of Variety and other trades? Maybe McGraw-Hill; maybe someone else. [Telegraph]. □
