1. Right foot … oops
A group of North Dakotans attempted to set a world record for the largest game of Twister by playing on 180 mats. Incidentally, they also set a record for most unplanned pregnancies.
2. Brand new
Apparently there’s a new ABC series called “Women’s Murder Club.” Hasn’t this show already been on TV? Oh, no, that was “Sex and the City.”
3. Buy now
Meanwhile, Ozzy Osbourne announced he’s auctioning off items from three of his homes. Never before have you been this close to owning the Prince of Darkness’ toaster.
4. Star and stripes
Jennifer Lopez is … the Hamburglar.
5. Bump and grind
If there’s one thing to be said about the new Britney Spears video, it’s that I’ve seen sexier dancing at a sumo tournament.
6. Call for backup
NBC announced it will syndicate “Deal or No Deal” next fall so it can be aired five days a week. But, oh, where will they find enough models smart enough to hold a briefcase for a half-hour?
7. Delays ahead
The CTA says it will announce its new Doomsday plan this week, meaning it should be arriving some time in 2008.
8. Signing off
Posh Spice is blogging from France. Isn’t this the very thing we should be able to rely on the UN to stop?
9. Good TiVo
New TiVo boxes will allow you to listen to music via a downloading service. As a bonus, TiVo is smart enough to block out “Crank That.”
