I'm so sick of vampires and werewolves I could vomit up a Wolverine-sized hairball containing a pair of fangs.  How about some variety?  My money is on trolls becoming the sexy new fantastical creatures du jour.  At left, scope the brand-new trailblazing book Trolls in the Hamptons by Celia Jerome.

Newsflash: Exercise doesn't work and desserts don't make you fat.  So sayeth the not-so-svelte Rush Limbaugh.  I'm not saying that only a moron would take diet tips from him.  I'm implying it.

Speaking of big fat news: Seems the world is going to run out of chocolate.  Great, as if I didn't feel guilty enough eating a Cadbury Creme Egg.

That's it, I give up eating.  Plus, if you stop jamming food into your craw for long enough you can learn to do something cool in the kitchen — like play a guitar with an egg beater.

And finally, in Japan, having Darth Vader as a buddy is seen as a selling point.
