1. Super trendy
Love the new ‘do, K-Fed. It says “trashy,” but it’s a “crumpled Gucci shopping bag” kind of trashy.
2. You have options
Paula Abdul told Ladies Home Journal magazine that she’s thinking about adopting. Like … adopting a public speaking coach?
3. The short of it
The Smurfs kicked off their 50th birthday celebration Monday with a party in Belgium. Guest of honor: Tom Cruise.
4. Slight mix-up
The president calmly explains that when he asked for a falcon he was expecting an Atlanta football player.
5. Fully reloaded
NBC committed early and renewed “American Gladiators” for a second season. That way, if any gladiators drop out, NBC can restock before baseball season starts.
6. Man enough
Last night, one of the contestants on “Gladiators” gave his occupation as “shark fisherman.” Lordy. Even Chuck Norris is sitting at home going, “Too rich for my blood.”
7. Modern times
The trailer for “10,000 B.C.” looks so over-the-top that I’m going out on a limb and predicting a sequel: “7,070 B.C.: The Rise of Harrison Ford.”
8. By design
It’s fashion week in Italy, a chance for the public to see just how hard Italian designers are working to make clothes that will leave us in credit card debt but allow us to look great if we happen to resemble Penelope Cruz or Brad Pitt.
9. So empty
Golden Globes ratings dropped by millions this year, but it’s for the best, seeing as how those of us who did watch also watched a part of our souls die.
