Beefamato Update
Earlier in the week, Hamilton floated to the surface, jabbering erratically about Beefamato and Alec Baldwin's troubled marriage. He was referring to a claim, made by the Wikipedia 'Beefamato' article, that Baldwin's marriage to Kim Basinger was plagued by his relentless promotion of the Beefamato drink.
It was with great sadness that I discovered today that the article was a hoax. Assuredly, many people rely on Wikipedia as an accessible source of information, but the Newt is of the the opinion that there is a legitimate niche for hoax-articles, provided they are occasional, elegant and imaginative. Follow the link below for an exemplary hoax (Dogtooth assumes it's a hoax, but would be delighted to wear orthopedic shoes if anyone can provide them):

Update: After further research, it appears that the article might not be a hoax. Dogtooth is inclined to reserve judgement until all the facts are in.
