1. Old hands
Robert De Niro and Al Pacino plan to co-star in a new project. Look for an intense plot, dramatic dialogue and a climactic walker battle.
2. Double whammy
Jessica Simpson and John Mayer have broken up. Sorta limits the pool of crappy love ballads they can comfort themselves with.
3. There’s always Ashlee
Let’s be realistic for a moment and acknowledge who really got hurt in this breakup: Papa Joe Simpson just lost some serious publicity.
4. Heads up
Breaking news: Two entertainment icons have lost their heads — Darth Vader and Bill O’Reilly.
5. Total failure
Sylvester Stallone was convicted of bringing hormones into Australia. Apparently the “They were Rosie O’Donnell’s” defense didn’t work.
6. Silver lining
I don’t doubt the “Fantastic Four” sequel will be a big movie. I guess I just question the decision to make a painted Oscar statuette the star of the show.
7. Bad news
“National Bingo Night” finished third in its time slot behind a “Dr. Phil” special. … Why do I suddenly feel like I’m reading a TV Guide from hell?
8. Will power
Reviewers ripped Norah Jones’ acting in “My Blueberry Nights” at the Cannes Film Festival, leaving us to wonder how they listened to Norah Jones and stayed awake to write about it.
9. The hurt
It looks like the city survived the Cubs-Sox series in one piece. We’ll consider all the gaudy T-shirts residual damage.
