Idle Chatter: Chris vs. Keith, Tina vs. Reality, more

-Man, do Chris Matthews and Keith Olbermann loathe each other. [Gawker]

-"I think the campaign got boring as soon as [Hillary] dropped out," says Tina Brown. "I think everybody misses that theater." Bam! You nailed the zeitgeist again, Tina! Well, except for the 95 percent of Democrats who feel like the drama never really stopped in the first place and wish to God it would. But other than that, you're dead on. [NYO]

-David Pecker has embarked on another one of his complicated, last-second refinancing deals to keep American Media from collapsing under its debt. [NYP]

-Michael Phelps will get "an estimated $1.6 million advance" to write a book about his training regimen, according to the New York Post. Bear in mind this is the same paper that pegged the advance at $1 million, so that number could still be off by 60 percent or so. [NYP]

-The author of the travel book 100 Things to Do Before You Die is dead at 47, having visited about half the places on his list. You win this time, gods of irony. [AP]
