Greetings! Last night I started reading Tina Fey's Bossypants, and I'm almost halfway through the book. I don't know if you've picked it up yet, but it's a pretty breezy and funny read; you'll get through it fast.

I also finished watching Mildred Pierce, which ended on a high note of melodrama. I'm glad I stuck around for all five episodes, though I still feel like I need more Mildred!

Some headlines to start your day:

- It's free cone day at Ben & Jerry's!

- The comics anthology MOME�will end this summer. (It's a shame; I really enjoyed reading it.)

- Some of Courtney Love's stuff is being sold on eBay.

- Watch Animal Collective�debut new songs.

- U2 has achieved the most successful tour of all time.

- Steve Carell's April 28 Office finale will last 50 minutes.

- An issue of Action Comics #1 that was stolen from Nicolas Cage has been found and returned. (Thanks, Jason C.)

- Josh Ritter performs a tiny desk concert.

- Burn Notice�returns June 23.

- "5 Things We Learned Reading Tina Fey's Bossypants."

- Lisa Bonet�did not show up to TV Land's recent Cosby Show reunion.

- A new Dr. Seuss book will be published this fall.
