There are some statements that live infamy: I didn’t inhale; They misunderestimated me; Google me, you dumb f@#k.

We're fairly certain (and extremely hopeful) that this won't result in purple costumes and exclamation marks being scattered throughout any movies. Still, there's a rumor that former Yahoo CEO Terry Semel might invest in New Line Cinema or MGM.

The morning after Yahoo's Terry Semel resigned the CEO task has founder Jerry Yang doing two interim jobs and newly minted president Sue Decker a step closer to the top.
