Gawker boss Nick Denton settles suit brought by art collector Keya Morgan 
New York Post
 Two years ago, Morgan -- who is making a documentary, "Marilyn Monroe: Murder on Fifth Helena Drive" -- brokered the $1.5 million sale of the Monroe sex tape. Gawker's LA-based sister site, Defamer, claimed no such tape existed and depicted Morgan as a hoaxer, so he sued for $50 million. The case was settled this week.
