A six-item breakfast

It's going to be a good day today, as several little newsy things have captured my attention and focused my pop-culture brain recently. I will not leave you in suspense, but will share them with you immediately:
ITEM!: Ken Jennings, the super brain who kicked everyone's ass on Jeopardy for six months straight in 2004 and won more than $2 million, has started his own blog. It's new, having just started this month, but freakishly, worth a quick look. I'm kinda liking his style, though he tends to get a bit too verbose on a couple posts. Check it out here.
ITEM!: Our main man, David Hasselhoff, is riding high this week, cruising on the wave's crest of Click, in which he plays Adam Sandler's boss, and America's Got Talent, which posted some decent ratings last week. USA Today's got a good-enough article about him today, including a five-question Q&A. In those pieces, the writer explores the wonder that is The Hoff, and why the world loves him so much. (Of his Google hits, most come from Ireland. Germany, once rumored to be the ultimate Hoff lover, came in as third in the ranking.)
ITEM!: Star Jones Reynolds is leaving The View because she seems to fear Rosie O'Donnell. Being's I never really saw a serious physical smackdown in the show's future, I believe this is a ridiculous publicity stunt because she won't be the one to watch on the show anymore. So what.
ITEM!: Sadly, Moose, the Jack Russell Terrier that played Eddie on Frasier, has died. He was 16, and one of the show's most under-appreciated stars.
ITEM!: Yesterday's post must have reached Washington, because the flag-burning amendment was defeated by the one vote that was rumored to kill it. Power to the masses, and those who appreciate the right to express themselves.
ITEM!: I know that everyone considers Christopher Reeve the ultimate Superman, but I'm pretty excited to see this new movie and encourage some new blood in the franchise. I loved Dean Cain as the character (Lois and Clark; and he's still a hotty), and look forward to seeing Brandon Routh in the blue tights. I'd be lying though if I said that was the only attraction though: Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor? Brilliant! The possibility that Supes may have fathered Lois's son? Emotionally heavy! That scene where his eyeball stops a bullet? The stuff that trailers are made for! It's definitely on tap for our movie watching this weekend.
