Today's celebrity news features one guy who's obscenely wealthy, and another who's only very wealthy. The rich really are different.

Honey, I Poked the Picasso: Casino owner Steve Wynn made a very artistic statement a few weeks back when he accidentally poked a hole in the world's most expensive painting. The Picasso work is one that Wynn owns–and that he had just agreed to sell to for $139 million. Wynn was showing the painting at his office in the plush Las Vegas hotel when he accidentally poked it with his elbow, creating two three-inch tears in it.

Hollywood screenwriter Nora Ephron recounted the incident in her blog at the Huffington Post , noting that Wynn has an eye disease that can cause him to misjudge distances. Wynn was pretty casual about the whole incident; no one got hurt, he said, and he took the incident as an omen that he shouldn't sell the painting after all.

My take: And I thought it was bad when the cat peed on the rug...

From "Roxanne" to Renaissance Music: Former Police singer Sting has taken a rather dramatic turn in his solo career. No, he's not crooning '50s standards like Rod Stewart; he's singing 16th-century tunes, and has even learned to play the lute to accompany his vocals. You can find an audio interview, with samples of Der Stingel's lute stylings and singing, at npr.org.

My take: What's next, Axl Rose doing an album of Gregorian chants?
