1. Mr. Lonely
New research suggests that Americans are more isolated from one another than ever. More on this story as soon as I check my peephole to make sure nobody’s outside.
2. Button it
Adam Sandler’s “Click” made $40 million last weekend, which means thousands of people wanted to see a movie about a magical remote control. Do the rest of us a favor: Turn the remote on yourselves and hit “mute.”
3. Cheap shot ahead
The news that Star Jones might be leaving “The View” was met with shock from viewers and a small sigh of relief from the show’s on-set couch.
4. Deny, deny, deny
The Sears Tower is lighting its spires in red and blue in honor of “Superman Returns.” And in honor of “Little Man,” the tower will pretend it was never built.
5. Big draw
I like how “Little Man” uses the tagline “from the creators of ‘White Chicks’ ” as a selling point.
6. Get him started
Ozzy Osbourne announced he’ll headline three extra shows on his Ozzfest tour this year–provided someone steers him in the right direction.
7. Second wheel
Does anyone else get the feeling that Hilary (right) and Haylie Duff (left) are actually conjoined twins? Are we even allowed to see Hilary if Haylie isn’t there?
8. Um, sir
Rush Limbaugh was detained for three hours at a Florida airport because customs officials said he was carrying Viagra without a prescription. … Awwwwwk-ward.
9. Dark days
Paris Hilton and Britney Spears both recently made the switch to black hair. Either they’re making a fashion statement or mourning the loss of their own brain cells.
