1. Of Europe
I missed this, but the International Space Station just got a new European annex. It’s made of leather and cigarettes and houses a state-of-the-art hair-greasing station.
2. Hmmm
Having read about all her struggles with substance abuse, it’s refreshing to see Lindsay Lohan make healthier career choices. Like pretending to be a dead celebrity. In the nude.
3. Almost there
A kitten survived 25 days in the New York subway. The cat now feels 80 percent confident it could survive a morning commute on the Blue Line.
4. Loose translation
In France, “27 Dresses” is called “27 Robes.” In the States, “27 Robes” stars Hugh Hefner and is available in the adult section.
5. Top gun
The Air Force says it needs more money to maintain its status as the foremost in the world and to ensure that Tom Cruise never again puts on a pilot’s uniform.
6. Two questions
Seriously, where is this endless supply of TV dance crews, and can somebody bar the door shut?
7. Hard times
Hard to believe it’s been a year since Britney Spears shaved her head. Equally hard to believe that even with hair she still kind of looks like Sir Ben Kingsley.
8. Danger zone
The Crocodile Hunter’s 4-year-old son got his first snake bite, the boy’s mother revealed Monday. Yes, apparently there are other forms of child endangerment than flipping to “Deal or No Deal.”
9. Hanging tough
The good news for that kid: No school bully is messing with the guy who re-enacted the black mamba scene from “Kill Bill” shortly after learning how to pee in a toilet.
