NEW MOON MADNESS: The second installation in the Twilight saga opened Friday at midnight and it's got teenage vampires, teenage werewolves, teenage melodramas and lots and lots and lots of teenage fans. Here's a nice compendium of all the commentary on this sucker. And stay out of the way of all the teen dreamers this weekend at the multi-plex, lest you get trampled. (RL)
GOODBYE TO OPRAH: Oh my gosh, Oprah's calling it quits!!!! Where are we going to do for book recommendations, Whitney Houston interviews and Barack Obama endorsements???? Thank goodness she's not really leaving for another couple of years because this gives us time to adjust. (RL)WEDNESDAY, November 18
INTERESTING: So, Johnny Depp is People's sexiest man alive and we say good for him. He's the only two-time winner of this monumentally important award along with George Clooney and some guy named Pitt. That's nice. But shouldn't Keith Richards also be the sexiest man alive?

I VANT TO SUCK YOUR BLOOOOD: With the Twilight saga's second installment, New Moon set to open Wedesday night with midnight showings all over the place, including Toledo, it's time to check in on some of the flick's faves.

IRONY ALERT: Forgive us at Thin Slices for being so tardy and late to the game on some of these things. We make no excuses other than to say "Vacation is a great thing and computers are not." With that out of the way, ooey, how about Carrie Prejean? Geez, we missed out on the sex tape(s) scandal, but at least we're here for the "Breast implants are OK for Christians, too" scandal. (RL)
SPINAL TAP MOMENT: The Thin Slices staff was there for this one: Bruce Springsteen took the stage like a conquering hero, bellowed out "Hello Ohio!" and then started rocking. Except he was in Detroit. But he didn't let that ruin things and went on to put on a great show. (RL)THIN SLICES
