1. Thin skin
Can’t wait for “Skelevision” on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien.” Let’s face it, for years Nicole Richie has been the only option for quality skeleton-themed entertainment.
2. To your health
Research shows that eating leafy vegetables slows down the deterioration of the brain. So, please, for the sake of your brain, garnish your beer with lettuce.
3. Slippery slope
Marathon officials say the decal should not be blamed for Robert Cheruiyot’s fall Sunday. Still, the decal saw what happened to the Bartman ball and is insisting on hiring a lawyer.
4. Take your pick
It’s time to play America’s easiest game show, “Guess Which One is the Former Sumo Champion?”
5. Best intentions
Weird Al Yankovic’s album debuted in the top 10 on the charts this month. This says more about us than I think we’d care to know.
6. Mr. Wizard
Actor Daniel Radcliffe says being known as Harry Potter can make it hard to date. Hard to imagine. Is it the glasses or the tendency to arrive at the girl’s house on a broomstick?
7. Age is a number
There’s been a mini flap over photos of 15-year-old singer JoJo at an L.A. nightclub. Of course, when your clientele includes Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, 15 seems mature.
8. Deal breaker
If you have $35 million to spare, you can buy Nicolas Cage’s home. I wonder if that price is negotiable. For starters, you should be allowed to knock $10 off if you went to see “Con Air.”
9. Stepping out
Janet Jackson said she wanted her new album to be a dance album. What she didn’t want was for people to be dancing around it to buy other CDs.
