Occupy Wall Street protesters spend their 30th day in Zuccotti Park in downtown Manhattan Monday.

The Occupy Wall Street protesters may have taken over Zuccotti Park, but they haven't breached Mayor Bloomberg's bedroom door.

"I can tell you that pillow talk in our house is not about Brookfield or Occupy Wall Street," Bloomberg said Monday, referring to Brookfield Properties, owner of the park where the protesters have camped out for a month.

Bloomberg gave the TMI answer when asked if gal pal Diana Taylor, who sits on Brookfield's board, had talked to him about theprotests that have spread fromlower Manhattan to cities around the world.
