They're on a different carrier than the company's Vodaphone Blackberries. "<strong>James Murdoch</strong> is said to have told 02 that he specifically wanted a "white iPhone" when the smartphone was issued to him in the summer of 2009." [<a href="http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/police-study-james-murdochs-secret-iphone-account-7857331.html">Indepedent</a>]</p>
<p>CBS built <strong>Les Moonves</strong> a $500,000 screening room in his home. Pre-recession style! [<a href="http://www.crainsnewyork.com/article/20120617/ECONOMY/306179986">Crain's</a>]</p>
<p>Another pre-recession gem, <em>Elle</em> <em>Accessories,</em> has relaunched, suggesting it's not so bad out there for print anymore. [<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/18/business/media/hearst-plans-to-bring-back-elle-accessories-magazine.html">NY Times</a>]</p>
<p>Meanwhile, the magnificent <strong>Warren Buffett</strong> plans to keep his growing stable of daily newspapers on life support until someone else figures out the digital business model. "The nice thing about it is that somebody can think about the best answer and we can copy him.” Or "her," Mr. Buffett!

<p>Former <em>Wall Street Journal </em>reporter <strong>Gina Chon</strong> wrote to friends to say those flirtatious emails with ambassadorial nominee <strong>Brett McGurk</strong>, now her husband, were just flirtatious emails: "I want you to know, though, that while I worked in Iraq for the paper, Brett never gave me sensitive or classified information nor did he trade his knowledge for my affection."

<p><em>Financial Times </em>editor<strong> Gillian Tett</strong> is taking a book leave until 2013. Deputy editor <strong>Martin Dickson </strong>becomes US managing editor September 1.

<p>Salon writer <strong>Steve Kornacki</strong> and Glenn Beck TV host <strong>S.E. Cupp</strong> will rotate through MSNBC as it finds a replacement for Dylan Ratigan. [<a href="http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2012/06/msnbc-to-test-toure-at-pm-sources-126414.html">Politico</a>]</p>
