• No joke: Comedians Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman have parted ways. Thankfully, there are no children involved. Really, we're thankful.

• Moody's blues: Is novelist Rick Moody a Martian?

• No end to the bleeding: More trouble at the Tribune Co as both the Los Angeles Times publisher David Hiller and Chicago Tribune editor Ann Marie Lipinski have resigned their posts.

• Negative vibes: Guess which site was quite pleased with itself for publishing the first negative review of The Dark Knight?

• Killer, man: The president of Sudan, Omar al-Bashir, was charged with genocide today. Hopefully this will result in more than just a very angry letter.
