1. Trust me
Remember to play it safe this Labor Day weekend — no one wants to see you blinded by “Balls of Fury.”
2. Sneak preview
Keira Knightley named her “Atonement” co-star James McAvoy “the best kisser ever.” All that practicing on a broom must’ve paid off for him.
3. Smoking section
MTV tapped Snoop Dogg to host the MTV Europe Awards in Germany. Still, he has requested a dressing room in Amsterdam.
4. Over the top
David Spade teaches us all how not to dress for the Teen Choice Awards.
5. Wail watching
Snippets of what are supposed to be two new Britney Spears songs found their way online Thursday. But both sound like she’s practicing in a Lamaze class, so I could be mistaken about this.
6. Deductibles
Meanwhile, court documents claim Britney averages more than $700,000 in income a month. Factor in divorce settlements and Cheetos expenditures and that total comes to … $38.50.
7. Psych
Usher and Tameka Foster are rumored to be planning an official wedding reception this weekend, Us Weekly reports. Please be advised that the “fingers crossed” rule is in effect.
8. Torture chamber
I’m reading (with skepticism) that a diamond-encrusted human skull has sold for $100 million. So, in at least one house in the world, “Rock of Love” isn’t the only boneheaded thing in the living room.
9. Out of gas
Yes, I agree No. 8 was a stretch and an awkward end to the week. Let’s just move on to the sudoku puzzle and forget this ever happened.
