Mary Podesta, the lawyer wife of Clinton White House chief of staff John Podesta, suffered serious injuries Thursday when she was hit by a car in downtown D.C., friends tell us. She's expected to make a full recovery but will be in the hospital for a while.

M.I.A. was so unhappy with a new New York Times magazine profile that she posted author Lynn Hirschberg's cell number on Twitter to her 100K+ followers Thursday. Hirschberg, deluged by calls, told the New York Observer she's surprised the outspoken British rapper would highlight a story she hated, but "she's a provocateur, and provocateurs want to be provocative."

I used to be a M.I.A. fan but no longer. Posting a journalist's personal information online because you don't like an article is the height of irresponsibility, arrogance and immaturity. If she has a beef (say, the article was factually inaccurate or unfair), she should take it up with Times' editors. Perhaps what she really didn't like was the fact that the writer exposed M.I.A. for the hypocrite she is.
