1. Sounds like a hit
Nick Lachey is working on a reality show based in Cincinnati. It’s like combining the star power of “Celebrity Fit Club” with the glamorous setting of “The Wire.”
2. As seen on TV
Police say they found marijuana in the car of Mary Ann from “Gilligan’s Island.” Her lawyer says it belonged to a friend. Oh sure, pin it on The Professor.
3. Option B
Elsewhere, states are cracking down on the hallucinogenic herb salvia, which some people apparently brew as tea and drink. So if Martha Stewart ever wanted to throw her life away and turns to drugs … you know, she has options.
4. Visual confirmation
There it is: Definitive proof Lauren Conrad can spell her name, or at least recognize it when someone else spells it out.
5. Pumped up
Wait, so Madonna keeps shots of B-12 around the house? Is she considering a baseball career that she hasn’t told anyone about?
6. Sleep tight
SpitzerGate, Day 3: Investigators say the New York governor was a frequent customer of the high-priced prostitution ring he is accused of using. His wife, meanwhile, has set up luxury sleeping arrangements for him on the couch in their basement.
7. Greatest hits
TMZ reveals that “American Idol’s” Chikeze used to be in a choir with his fellow airport security screeners in L.A. Songs from their catalog include “Talk to the Wand” and “Girl (Please Remove Your Shoes).”
8. It’s all over
A little more than half of the voters on an ew.com poll say “Idol” has not yet run out of talent. In a separate poll, roughly more than half of America has lost touch with reality.
9. Broadly drawn
Britney Spears appears in cartoon form in her new music video. Oh, the irony.
