It flicked Shuster off the bottom of its shoe before sundown Friday, saying he "has been suspended from appearing on all NBC News broadcasts, other than to make his apology (Friday). He has also extended an apology to the Clinton family. NBC News takes these matters seriously, and offers our sincere regrets to the Clintons for the remarks." But is that enough? Can this debate be saved? Ellen "Emily's List" Malcolm is pissed. (Can we say that?) Emily -- a huge Clinton fan -- wrote a letter to NBC news czar Phil Griffin Friday saying "the misogynistic pattern in the reporting by your network must come to an end. I know I speak for millions across this country when I demand that you take immediate steps and publicly tell us what you will do to eliminate this sexist and demeaning culture that has become so pervasive in your network." Ouch.

Some treatment and beauty lines such as Mario Badescu, Molton Brown, and Laura Mercier can certainly be found at other stores, but I was surprised by the large selection of fragrances by Serge Lutens. The store also stocks a range of Tocca products (fragrance, home scents, candles, etc.). The in-store spa with two treatment rooms helps distinguish Blue Mercury from other beauty retailers. Clients can indulge in facials, microdermabrasion, and waxing services starting at $15. ATMOSPHERE:Laid back. Customers are encouraged to touch and sample the products. Salespeople are available if you need assistance, but aren't pushy. Join the discussion. Tell us about your experiences at Blue Mercury or suggest ShopTalk profiles by commenting below.

NHL pioneer O'Ree works for diversity
It's interesting that the NHL All-Star Game happened to be in Atlanta this year, 50 years after Willie O'Ree broke the color barrier in the NHL. This city, which hosted a luncheon to honor O'Ree on Friday, is also where he got his first taste of the South during segregation. .
Off-duty Wayne County deputy snared in prostitution sting
A Wayne County deputy was among 18 people arrested in a call girl sting over the weekend. Sheriff Warren Evans tells The Detroit News and Detroit Free Press the unidentified deputy faces misdemeanor charges and his police powers are suspended. The off-duty deputy was ticketed during a sting targeting prostitutes and pimps who used an Internet site to advertise escort services. An undercover female deputy answered and set up a rendezvous when the deputy called the cell phone of one of the women being detained. The caller offered to pay for sex acts and was ticketed for solicitation. Fifteen women will be arraigned on misdemeanor charges Monday. Two men suspected of being pimps will be charged with pandering _ a four-year felony.
