Updated throughout the day…

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) still has persisting rumors of new cell phone carrier distribution outside of AT&T Inc.

Walt Disney Co. (NYSE: DIS) ended discussions to sell its struggling Miramax Films unit back to Hollywood producers Harvey and Bob Weinstein per the WSJ.

The Blackstone Group LP (NYSE: BX) has joined in with a group bidding for Australian hospital operator Healthscope.  If health reform here can’t be invested in, look overseas? (various)

Vodafone Group plc (NYSE: VOD) is looking at smaller asset sales as it will have to pay up for more spectrum. (WSJ blogs)

Billionaire Richard Branson’s Virgin Atlantic would consider a merger if BA-AA cement a deal (various).

P.S. Rumor has it that the Europeans might not know how to properly do a bailout (or govern themselves).
