Time Relief, Firecrotch, Rich Duke Suspects, Low Snow, and The McCartney Divorce

And here, we find the socialite trashus species. Careful, they're very drunk and decadent (in the bad way of course).
1. Finally, we could all breathe a little easier now. Time Magazine named its new managing editor today, Richard Stengel, 51, long time Time writer and editor. Not New York columnist Kurt Anderson, not CNBC's Tina Brown, not Time executive editor Priscilla Painton, not Slate editor in chief Jacob Weisberg... (NYT)

2. Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton apparently had a fight at LA's club, Hyde, last Friday, which wouldn't be terribly interesting had it not been for Brandon Davis. As Hilton and Brandon Davis left the club, the latter dished out a storm of insults on Lindsay, such as how her (being a?) "firecrotch" made her movie tank, how her dad is hotter than her, how her worth of $7m makes her "really poor," and a bunch of expletives that the press won't run. Luckily, you can catch it on this video, along with Paris Hilton laughing throughout, trying to catch some of the Davis treasures on her cellphone, and also her whispering to Davis--perhaps feeding him some lines? (Daily News, TMZ)

3. The third suspect declared in the Duke lacrosse case, David Evans, is the product of Rae Evans, a Washington lobbyist with "topnotch" ties to the Bush family and David Evans, a partner at a top Washington law firm, or, uh, power and money. Which this case isn't about. Right. (Daily News)

4. While it might be appropriate for any press secretary to say, Tony Snow should probably have kept the articulateness of Bush in mind when he said in his first television debut, "I think I will not try to improve on the president's words from today." Way to set the bar--though to be fair, the level is challenging for limbo. (USA Today)

5. Paul McCartney and his wife of four years, Heather Mills, are calling it quits, blaming their marital failure on the media. Who doesn't blame it on the media these days? I'm gonna blame mine on Anderson Cooper. (AP)
