david zinczenko of eat this, not that reveals that the worst-for-you milkshake in america is cold stone creamery's pb&c shake in the "gotta have it" size. what is the "gotta have it" size? a mere 12 ounces. that's really not very big when you consider it packs 2010 calories, 131g fat, 880mg sodium, and 153g sugars. the only fun thing about those nutrition facts is that the number of calories matches the year number on the common calendar.

so there's this girl in north carolina who belongs to a church called "the church of body modification" which is an organized religious organization of about 3500 folks worldwide who express their faithful fervor through tattoos and piercings. this young lady has a nose piercing that is in violation of her school's dress code. she claims freedom of religion overrides the dress code, so she should be excused from the requirement and the disciplines she has been given should be expunged from her record. "the church of body modification"? really? sounds like "the church of break rules so that we can pitch a fit over our first amendment rights" to me. the school district's put itself in a bit of a bind, however: they excuse muslim and hindu teens from certain dress code restrictions on religious grounds. the school system cannot pick and choose which religions are "real enough" to be excused. they'd do better to just let this young lady back in quickly and quietly before they have a bunch of "church of always sitting outside" or "church of no homework" on their hands.

winona ryder has a small part in the soon-opening really very scary looking natalie portman movie "black swan" about a ballerina who loses her mind. when you see what happens to natalie in that movie, you will see why i stopped ballet. i mean, i didn't want to end up all crazy-like. wooooo. anyway, we were talking about winona, who has that small part in "black swan" and another larger role in an upcoming mainstream romantic comedy with vince vaughn. ol' winona's been out of the picture (out of the pick-chur. see what i did there??) for a while after she was caught shoplifting a few years back. shoplifting. not that it's not a serious crime and doesn't deserve our attention as both a felony and desperate wailing cry for help, but seriously. seer. ee. us. lee. those weiners in hollywood do the craziest, most illegal things all the time, and they ostracized her over slipping a few fashion accessories in the ol' shopping tote? c'mon. c'mon! i heart winona. you folkses need to leave her be!
