- The domestic box office posted a record-high $10.61 billion in 2009, up more than 8% from 2008. And just think — if the Feds had gotten to that guy in the Bronx responsible for copying the Wolverine bootleg sooner, that figure could’ve easily surpassed $10.61001 billion.
- Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves welcomed a baby girl over the weekend, naming her Vida Alves McConaughey. Man, “Vida” is gonna get teased like crazy if she somehow time-travels back to the summer of 1999.
- Kathy Griffin dropped another F-bomb during CNN’s live New Year’s coverage this year. Well, this year’s was more of an F-firecracker, or possibly an F-Pop Rocks and Coke, but it’s swearier than nothing.

- And finally, your 2009-10 NFL Playoff teams: Colts, Chargers, Patriots, Bengals, Jets, Ravens in the AFC, Saints, Vikings, Cowboys, Cardinals, Packers, Eagles in the NFC. You know what that means, rest of us: Time to start rooting for the team with the fewest fans in your office (Coooomeeee onnnnnnnn Cardinals….)
