Look who else has been added to the victim list today:

Arpad Busson, the billionaire fiancee of Uma Thurman! Busson runs a hedge fund called EIM, which has more than $150 million in exposure in Madoff's funds. You can do better, Uma.


Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, the CEO of Dreamworks! He lost millions. It's the Hollywood thing to do—so did Katzenberg's pal...


Steven Spielberg! His charity got swindled out of an unknown amount. Sad. But not as sad as...


Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate and humanitarian! His charitable foundation may have been almost wiped out. That's despicable. Then there's...


Mort "Mort" Zuckerman, real estate mogul and Daily News owner! More than 10% of his charitable trust was invested with Madoff. And finally...


Frank Lautenberg, ancient New Jersey senator! His charity also took a hit.

Of course there's also a laundry list of banks and rich individuals and whatnot, which can be seen in its fullest version here. God bless whatever unlucky WSJ drones were forced to assemble it.

What precipitated that second assistant's mysterious firing/termination? Does anyone know for sure that Lindsay Lohan was actually the one driving the pursuit vehicle? And, most crucially: Did Lindsay have any idea whose cocaine-laden pants she was wearing? In the spirit of the report, we won't steer you towards any particular answers to these queries, but we will note that if one put on the pants of a randomly selected clubgoing female from Lohan's Los Angeles peer group, there's at least a 75 percent that there will be blow in the pocket. Do the math. Open your eyes. Think for yourselves.

Also of note: Lohan was apparently barefoot during the incident. Which, as strange as it sounds, is a minor miracle, because had the police discovered "a small amount of cocaine in her shoe," well, even the most dogged of celebrity newsmagazine investigations wouldn't be able to save her from the unjust persecution of the ensuing jokes.

Dear KTLA - Have you lost your mind? The news could have waited until 9 or 10. Police were evacuating the area, so your coverage was not needed. At the very least you should be posting a replay date and time for "Gilmore Girls" at the bottom of the screen. Submitted by: Stephanie

My aunt was evacuated. I understand that a show isn't more important that a home or family. HOWEVER, if I want an update on the fire or their situation, I can pick up a phone, go online, etc. It's silly for the network to cover the story for three hours straight. During regular programming, if you want to alert people about the fire, cut in for 30 seconds and tell people to watch at 10 or read the story at their website.

Please show this episode to your Southern California audience!! We have been waiting for a long time for "the marriage proposal" and were very upset by 50 minutes of fire coverage. Please post the airing time soon! Submitted by: sad mom and daughter

This station is so inconsiderate to it's viewers. We obviously had tuned in to watch GG's, not the news. THey really need to apologize. This is why network tv is waste of time and why given the choice I watch tv shows that i've downloaded- Heroes, for example.

Worst station ever. And they don't even address the concerns of people who missed Gilmore Girls/Veronica Mars.
Submitted by: HateKTLA

I can't believe I sat through an hour of this "breaking news" hoping they would turn Gilmore Girls back on after they repeated the same information 10 million times. Nope. They better re-play this episode before the season finale or I will be VERY ANGRY.

There are so many, many more where these came from, but we can't recommend you read them all, for even the coldest of hearts will certainly melt from these tales of woe.
