1. Big plans
“American Idol” runner-up David Archuleta says he’d like to make an album like John Mayer’s. Later on, he admitted he’d settle for being adopted by Jennifer Aniston.
2. Hold tight
Just a handful of days until the “Sex and the City” movie opens, leaving about 72 hours for men to figure out how to put themselves in a sleeper hold.
3. So smooth
Michael Jackson made a rare public appearance at a fashion event last week. Yeah, this time he fooled photographers by wearing a Michael Myers mask from “Hallo-” … wait, there was no mask this time?
4. Second thoughts?
The B-52’s performed on the “Today” show. Might be time to re-evaluate things when your set gets less hype than the big New Kids reunion.
5. Top glutton
What a way to kick off cookout season. Personally it reminded me of the gathering of the animals in “Evan Almighty,” only the action took place on a grill, and under a steady rain of hot wing sauce.
6. Hot fuzz
Apparently there’s a town in Western Japan that has a cat running an unmanned train station. Say this about the trains here: Customer service might not always come with a smile, but at least it doesn’t come with a hairball.
7. Ka-ching!
More than $300 million for “Indiana Jones” worldwide so far. That’s bail money for Shia LaBeouf and bran money for Harrison Ford with change left over.
8. Pride and joy
Yale gave Paul McCartney an honorary degree. What exactly does a Grammy-winner who has been knighted by the queen of England do with an honorary college degree? “Oh, hey, thanks, guys. This’ll fit perfectly in a shoe box under my pool table.”
9. Tread carefully
Richard Dreyfuss might play Vice President Cheney in a movie. Unless “Jaws” is remade, the White House is the closest he’ll get to another group of bloodthirsty sharks.
