Honestly, the only thing that pops up in my mind is Microsoft's attempted acquisition of yahoo, and we all know how that turned out. Here's my search results from Bloomberg for any deals announced or completed between October and today w/ Blackstone Group as a financial advisor (some of these are divestitures)

Thank you for your help
How about serving as global advisor to AIG for the past several months? http://www.thedeal.com/newsweekly/dealmakers/aig-links-arms-with-blacks…
would someone go to blackstone M&A or Lazard? thoughts...
recent bx m&a deals? (Originally Posted: 02/03/2011)
have they advised on any big deals recently?
check the list on their website -- a chunk of m&a mandates come from AIG since they're handling the restructuring
