1. Free bird
Kiefer Sutherland reported to prison Wednesday, where he was ordered to serve 48 days before the end of March. Of course, CTU will be busting him out of there faster than you can say “Nicole Richie.”
2. Naked truth
The National Board Review named “No Country For Old Men” the best film of 2007. Tough break for “American Pie Presents: Beta House.”
3. Not a stretch
The NBR also named George Clooney best actor for “Michael Clayton.” Apparently Johnny Depp needed to give a more true-to-the-role performance of a singing barber who murders people.
4. The swatcher
A question Francis Ford Coppola never will have to ask: “Do you think this matches my scarf?”
5. The intelligentsia
Angelina Jolie has signed on for a new movie project in which she’ll play an intelligence operative. Odds that that script was kept hidden from Paris Hilton: Very good.
6. Mortal locks
The Grammy nominations are due out Thursday. Amy Winehouse and Britney Spears will duke it out for “best impression of a train wreck.”
7. Cry, cry, cry
Not only did I somehow miss the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, but apparently it was Tuesday. I need to be alone right now.
8. Zoning out
Meanwhile, Bono hinted in an interview that U2’s new album was influenced by trance music. For those who don’t know, trance is music that’s made while watching the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
9. Almost there
Ellen DeGeneres managed to get a phone call through to the president during a taping of her show. In other words, she has one-one hundredth of Oprah’s power.
