1. Anyone Can Have a Grill.One of the Executive Producers made me
learn all about
grills when I worked on the Nickelodeon
Romeo! However, now you can go one step further and get your teeth tattooed. That's right, Steve Heward of the
Heward Dental Lab in Salt Lake will handpaint your crowns - no word if he only does portraits or if you have the option of
Celtic Crosses and

Newbury Comics to buy a
Dead Kennedys'
Too Drunk to Fuck t-shirt. (I know,

Jello's
spoken word show at school and had dinner with him. He ate cannelloni off my plate. But I digress.) Anyway, some of my friends insisted I put a piece of duct tape over the f-word if I wore the shirt in public - although a great Beacon Hill Biddy said to me "

Paul is Dead controversy one step further by showcasing a collection of
Beatles songs played backwards.

Why does this sound like a gas station named by
Diablo Cody?

5. If Joss Whedon Pooped, His Fandom Would Fight for It.I kid, I kid, I like the Joss Whedon. In fact, I think we should just give him a network and be done with it. In the meantime, you'll have to settle for this sneak peek at his Sci-Fi Musical,
Dr. Horrible, with
Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!
