• Torontoist gawked at photos of all the celebrities who made it to this year's Toronto International Film Festival: George Clooney! Megan Fox! Ewan McGregor! Natalie Portman! And co-star of the smash hit White Chicks, Marlon Wayans!
• Shanghaiist found out that somebody (possibly government related) is sending journalists in China targeted malware ridden emails, though we haven't figured out why yet.
• Seattlest enjoyed the songs and F-bombs of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia live show.
• Bostonist analyzed why LA doesn't like Boston and why Catholics don't like reiki.
• LAist realized that there's a clear media East Coast bias that's selling LA sports teams short...in favor of...Boston?! Shudder.

• DCist followed the arrest on bribery charges of the chief of staff of a popular city councilman and all the details still unfolding in the case.

• Londonist did a couple of shifts on Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth.
• SFist saw a PETA protester smack Ronald McDonald in the face with a pie at a kids' event.
