1. Extra special
Hope everyone took time out on Sunday to enjoy Mother’s Day, or, as it’s known in the Spears family, “You did WHAT?”
2. Stooge style
Did you read about this swimmer in Australia who poked a shark in the eye to get it to back off? Experts say it was a risky move. Ideally you’d want to use a banana cream pie in that situation.
3. Happy returns
Brad Pitt was on hand for Bono’s birthday in Monaco. It seems things got awkward when it came time to open presents and Brad gave him the same private island he got him last year.
4. Owwwww
Miley Cyrus once again shows that she is acting too old for her age — by throwing out her back.
5. What’s not to like?
It was a little surprising to see “Speed Racer” fizzle at the box office. People, it’s a hyper-colored, dizzying, ADD-riddled freak show for the entire family!
6. He’ll pass
“Speed Racer’s” worth seeing just to look at the race courses the movie dreams up. There are loops, jumps and spikes in the road. It’s worth noting, however, that even Speed Racer isn’t crazy enough to mess with six-way intersections.
7. No repeats
Reps for Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson shot down reports over the weekend that the two are engaged, explaining that it would be poor form to pull a Mariah Carey so soon after Mariah Carey.
8. Stay cool
Expect rain and cold for most of this week, with a 40 percent chance of everybody relocating to Miami.
9. In your head
With the new Indiana Jones movie only weeks away, it begs the question: Is “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” another name for the “Real World: Hollywood” house?
