Leftovers: Welcome, Our New PR Overlord!

• We’re hearing…. that the Brian Tierney/Bruce Toll/etc. bid to buy the Inquirer and Daily News has gone through, and there’s a press conference at the Inquirer Building at 5 p.m. to officially announce the sale. Staff meeting to follow at 6, but you probably need some sort of special badge or ring or “job” to get in to that one. Update: Here’s a press release. [Yahoo!/McClatchy]

• As mentioned earlier, Dubya himself will be here tomorrow, helping out the campaigns of Jim Gerlach and Mike Fitzpatrick. Tickets are a thousand bucks, so, uh, start saving. [AP/Philly.com]

• Philly businesses got a pep talk today; “You, too, can get the Olympics… if you work together.” Philadelphia promptly ended its bid for the 2016 Olympics. [Inquirer]

• Nick Lachey to The Trentonian: Stay away from me! Trentonian to Nick Lachey: “Popfest headliner Nick Lachey snubbed efforts to talk to him yesterday for a pre-concert interview — that’s despite being splashed across the front of The Trentonian’s GO section last Thursday.” Oh my God, the GO section? That jerk! [Trentonian]
