Nouriel Roubini, known as “Dr. Doom” for his often dire predictions about the state of the economy, might have been implying by his Tweet that he was on the prowl for more than one hottie. Why should we be surprised? After all, the famed economist decorated his Tribeca loft with plaster vaginas (plaster? I hope they were just for decoration), according to Gawker.
