  • People are now asking, en masse apparently, for surgery to make their butts look like Pippa Middleton's. A plastic surgeon in Miami told Fox News that "ever since the royal wedding, Pippa Middleton has become the new queen of the booty! She opens the doors to those who did not know you could have a small, shapely and perky backside without the large size." It doesn't stop there; people are also demanding Pippa and Kate's nose and eyes. [Fox News]
  • In a memo sent out yesterday, New York Post employees were told to keep any documents pertaining in any way to phone hacking: "Any documents pertaining to unauthorized retrieval of phone or personal data, to payments for information to government officials, or that is related in any way to these issues, must be retained," reads the legal team's memo. In editor Col Allan's memo, he writes that the staff is required to do this "in light of what has gone on in London at News of the World, and not because any recipient has done anything improper or unlawful." The staff of the Wall Street Journal, Rupert Murdoch's other New York paper, was not asked to do any such thing. [Media Decoder / NYT]
