Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

1. Take two

A new study says coffee can reduce the damage alcohol does to your liver. Would you like a side of caffeine addiction with that drinking problem?

2. Drink to health

Another study says an ingredient in beer may help fight prostate cancer. At this point I’d like to thank the scientific community for putting me into rehab.

3. Somebody’ll prove it

Still checking to see if sports betting prevents cavities …

4. Eating it up

Some of you must be wondering what ever happened to Hannibal Lecter. Turns out he’s a big soccer fan.

5. Fog warning

There are new pictures of Spider-Man online. That engine-like noise you’re hearing is millions of fanboys breathing heavily at once.

6. The bad and the ugly

The buzz is that Brad and Angelina have brought their newborn back to L.A., because as long as they’re exposing her to distressed parts of the world, they might as well stop by the town that came up with “Date Movie.”

7. False move

More men surveyed by Esquire magazine said they’d invite Condoleeza Rice to a dinner party than those who said they’d invite Jessica Simpson. They prefer fake war intelligence to fake eyelashes.

8. Out of the demo

In a magazine interview, Hilary Duff says her songs are not “for a 50-year-old man with arthritis who doesn’t want to get out of bed.” So that’s why I don’t like them.

9. Wreck room

The maker of the “Grand Theft Auto” video games just released a new ping-pong game. And apparently it’s pretty realistic: You can put backspin on your serve and then maul your opponent with a chainsaw.
