Okay, only fifteen more days until Christmas, which means only 23 more days until a new decade. Which ,of course, means only 3 more years until a new Presidential election, and/or the Apocalypse (according to the movie 2012, or depending on who gets elected President).

I’m getting ahead of myself, here–there’s still plenty of work to do in the meantime–I’m doing my part to make sure the apocalypse seems that much sooner.

Your Daily Drama for December 10, 2009.

Tom Brady and Giselle Bundchen had a baby boy earlier this week (actually, it was Giselle that had it, but I hear Brady was there to help with her breathing). The two are famous for appearing on Magazine covers around the world—I’m told Brady actually plays a little football as well.

The baby’s mama of Brady’s first child, Bridget Moynahan, had nothing but well wishes for the new parents.

“I wish them the best with their baby and I’m sure my son will enjoy having a half sibling,”

Oh, I’m sure she’ll be over at Giselle’s and Tom’s pad all the time to visit…

“I ask the press to respect our privacy while we are welcoming this new addition to our extended family,” she told the New York Daily News.

She sounds like a stand up women–the kind of girl you’d bring home to Dad, unless you’ve already brought home a girl to Dad and married her, that one goes way against the book.

Moynahan is a single mom that got dumped by the Super Bowl winning quarterback; this is probably a hard time for her. Just give it ten years until her kid picks up a football and learns how to sling it, and all will be forgotten.

Speaking of forgotten, I might be the only columnist to cover Nicholas Cage twice in the same week. Now his ex-wife is suing his pants off, to the tune of 13 million dollars.

As if Cage didn’t have enough to worry about, he’s already in trouble with Uncle Sam for back taxes amounting 6 million bucks, and is suing his former business manager, Samuel J. Levig.

Cage said Leving mismanaged his career, while Leving rebutled that Cage was an overspender. Cage continued his argument by declaring that he is rubber and Leving is glue, and whatever Levin says bounces off of him and sticks to you (Leving).

Mr. Leving knows you can’t outsmart a fox with name games, so he has instead countersued Mr. Cage, claiming the star owes him money and failed to heed his advice to curb his lavish spending habits, which included buying Rolls Royce cars, yachts and castles.

Castles to me aren’t lavish. But, if you have a castle with a Roll’s Royce in the garage and a yacht docked in the moat out front, that starts being a little too showy for me.

Today’s final dose of drama and industry news covers Variety Magazine’s latest business decision. You know Variety Magazine–they’re the guys that own the building on Wilshire, the one you can see for miles on end; they’re also the guys charging 250 bucks a year for their content, which includes online access.

The move comes as the entire industry saw 5% drops in ad revenue. The magazine is hoping to make up for this loss by charging for access to their website, a move they originally made in 2006, but stopped when they felt they were losing traffic to their free competitors (The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline.com, ActedBy.com, all the big names)

Hey, you can say what you want about my column, but I don’t charge anything to read this stuff. How stupid would you feel paying to read about Celebrities and their lives–thank God there’s no such practice.

I smile because I have no idea what’s going on…
