People are REALLY unhappy about how Whitney Houston's funeral was handled by the local government.

From lowing flags to half mast, to $187,000 in police overtime, people are upset!

So, like the good public servant he is, the Mayor has responded before things get out of hand! Here's what he said:

And now he's been cast alongside Kelsey Grammer!

It is with great pleasure (and equal parts confusion) that we announced that the beauty that is Jonathan Groff has landed a series regular role on the Starz series Boss. While the show is an award-winning program and critically-acclaimed, we can't say we know too many people who watch it, so we're wondering why The Groff would op to play one of Kelsey's staffers (Grammer's character is the mayor of Chicago) when it's pilot season and he could easily nab a new show for himself.

But his people probably know best and at the end of the day, we're just thrilled the hottie is getting work … work that won't interfere with him coming back to Glee before it's too late.

Right???

They are not happy one damn bit!

Early this morning, the Occupy Wall Street encampment at Zuccotti Park was raided and emptied by order of the Mayor, who insisted that the protesters had squatted in the public area long enough and had the police remove them all from the park. Still, his measures of dispersing them really didn't take, as groups have reassembled all over the city, claiming that their First Amendment right was ignore in this action.

While the City of New York might be standing it's ground against the movement, Hollywood seems more than willing to support it, as many high profiled celebs tweeted their disappointment with Bloomberg for choosing to carry things out this way.

Here are just a few of the tweets sent out this morning about the events:

But Occupy Wall Street is not over yet!

Early this morning, New York City Mayor Bloomberg has the police sweep into Lower Manhattan and finally clear out the hundreds or so protesters of the Occupy Wall Street movement that have been camping out for nearly eight weeks to protest income inequality.

Decked out in riot gear, police and the park’s owners told protesters at 1 a.m. to pack up and get out. The group can return, however, as the big issue seems to be the masses of people sleeping in a public space for this long stretch of time.

Yeah, tell that to the kids of Occupy Twilight!

Mayor Bloomberg addressed the issue this morning, saying:
