1. Try this on
The guest list for Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes’ housewarming party included Oprah Winfrey, J.Lo, Posh Spice and Eva Longoria Parker. Fortunately for the Cruises, they have electric tracking collars readily available in all those sizes.
2. Big bowl
Scientists in Japan created a bowl of ramen noodles that measures 1/2,500th of an inch across. Moments later they discovered a tiny college junior passed out next to it.
3. That’s the spot
Just heard an ad for grapefruit body wash. Personally, nothing soothes my body quite like dousing it with citric acid. Especially good for cuts and open wounds!
4. Inside out
Question for Lucy Walsh: How long did it take the designer to vomit up that dress?
5. Fuzzy feeling
Is there no end to ads with Coldplay singing in them? I feel like I know Chris Martin’s mullet-fro better than I do my own family.
6. Night vision
What Sunday’s MTV Movie Awards lacked in awards show glamor it more than made up for in multiple embarrassments, product plugs and a sweaty parade of stars. If you like Paris Hilton sex tapes, this is the awards show for you.
7. Movie magic
Now that it’s an award winner (for “best fight”), “Never Back Down” is on the fast track to being made into a sequel: “You Might Want To Back Down — He’s Got A Chain Saw.”
8. Sweatin’ oldies
The big news last week is that the NHL might stage a hockey game at Wrigley, meaning it’ll be the largest gathering of guys with creaky joints there since the Jimmy Buffett concert.
9. Tipping point
Well “Sex and the City” was the nationwide phenomenon it was promised to be. And, more importantly, made it OK for me to wear couture dresses to work.
