Late Breaks: Michael Wolff, Tina Brown, more

-Michael Wolff's biography of Rupert Murdoch has sold about 6,000 copies so far, according to BookScan (which is really more like 8,500), a number that's supposedly disappointing to his publisher. [Huffpo]

-Tina Brown is changing the web, apparently. How? By doing a website that's like Huffpo but better written. [Newsweek]

-Relive the year in cringe-worthy journalism moments, courtesy of Politico. On the list: Keith Olbermann as anchor, the final Democratic primary debate and "terrorist fist jab." [Politico]

-Simon & Schuster is going ahead with an addiction-and-recovery memoir by Jodie Sweetin even though the former Full House actress has fallen off the wagon since writing it. [Star]. □
