1. Travel highs and lows. A low-fare bus line called Megabus is offering $1 fares between L.A. and Las Vegas. Using a business model based on airlines like EZ Jet and Ryan Air, the fares go up closer to departure. Amtrak on the other hand is heading in the opposite direction by offering Grandluxe service between selected US cities that includes lounges, fine dining, suites and "floral arrangements." The one-way fare between Miami and Washington, DC, is $789.

If money is really no object, just buy your own plane. Airbus recently confirmed that somebody has purchased an A 380 super-jumbo jet for $300 million that is being converted for personal use.

2. Forbes magazine announced their annual list of Top Earning Dead Celebrities. Albert Einstein ($18 million) made more than Bob Marley ($ 4 million) and Andy Warhol ($15 million) made more than Tupac Shakur ($9 milion). While you can't take it with you, you can still sell a ton of T-shirts.

3. PAPER cover girl Kelis was dropped by Jive Records (sort of). The "Milkshake" hit-maker has actually been more of a victim of record company consolidation. After recording for Pharrell Williams' StarTracks imprint, she went from Virgin to Arista when the Virgin label folded and then Arista fell under the Sony/BMG umbrella when those two merged.

4. The Daily News claims today that it is now OK to eat squirrels caught in North Jersey. The EPA thought they had detected lead in a dead squirrel and issued a warning. However, "a blender used to process squirrel tissue samples was defective and the lead actually came from the blender."

5. The Zen Palate vegetarian restaurant on Union Square here in New York closed yesterday due to "astronomical and non-negotiable rent increases."

6. French electro duo Justice would like everyone to refer to there album as (insert a funny glyph that looks like a cross but isn't). Also Led Zeppelin's fourth album is not called Zoso and (insert a funny glyph that looks like a guitar combined with the "male" symbol) is back to being called Prince.
