1. Gangster lean
Reading the interviews, it sounds like Jerry Seinfeld doesn’t think “Bee Movie” is just for kids. He’s right — families should probably play it safe and take the kids to see the one about the heroin smuggler.
2. Monkey do
Us Weekly says Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon went trick-or-treating together, and that Jake “nuzzled his big hairy [ape] mask into her neck.” Nice going, Casanova. Did you fling poop at her too?
3. Filling the void
Don Imus goes back on the air Dec. 3. That’s big news for morning radio. There’s been a startling lack of ignorance there lately.
4. Wink, wink
Chris Brown gives us his best “Zoolander.”
5. Nature’s best
There’s a big pepperoni pizza recall in the news. You know, this wouldn’t be a problem if more companies switched to organic, alley-grown pepperoni.
6. Um, pass
Paris Hilton as a “sexy prisoner” for Halloween? My stomach would rather handle tainted pepperoni. (See also: No. 9.)
7. Rated ‘V’
Hackers have unlocked scenes of violence in the new video game “Manhunt 2.” The scenes are described as so graphic they might make the cut for inclusion in the next “Grand Theft Auto.”
8. Take that
Britney Spears’ album is expected to be the top-selling disc in the country. Way to send a strong message that her behavior won’t be tolerated, America.
9. Mee-ow
According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Britney spent an estimated $16,000 a month in 2006 on clothes — and as much as 50 cents on that “sexy tiger” Halloween costume.
