1. Bump it up
So Britney Spears is indeed pregnant. In other news, the Department of Children and Family Services has asked that its budget be tripled for next year.
2. The takeover
Scientists aren’t in full agreement on this, but at Britney and Kevin’s current rate of reproduction, it is believed that the entire U.S. population will be barefoot by 2018.
3. Potential problem
Britney was actually in New York on Tuesday to talk about her perfume line. Asked what smells turn her off, she said, “Cigarette smoke–I can’t deal with that.” Um … I’m thinking this could be a problem.
4. Cost control
Sony announced that the basic PlayStation 3 will cost $499, not counting the adapter you’ll need to connect it to Fort freakin’ Knox.
5. Double vision
I don’t even want to speculate about what’s going on in this photo.
6. Something old, something new
“Knight Rider” is the latest TV show that’s going to be turned into a movie. K.I.T.T. will star in his old role, of course, but the rumor around Hollywood is that he’s had a tune-up and a paint job.
7. Call Vegas
Man, let’s hope nobody ever impersonates “Elvis week” on “American Idol.”
8. Need a lift?
Tom Cruise’s name is being linked to the new “Iron Man” movie. If nothing else, the suit would bring him up to eye level with Katie Holmes.
9. Without pier
China recently opened what is believed to be the largest ferris wheel in the world. Pshaw. Talk to me when they’ve got a Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.
