The bottom line




Ken Griffey Jr. says he's returning to the Seattle Mariners not just for the free food in the clubhouse, but to help the team win the World Series.

Reportedly, Junior told the M's that he had no problem with reduced salary and playing time in 2010, but did ask for extra ice cream after games. The team's counter-offer: a free copy of “The Butt Book: How to Build a Non-Cellulite and Fat-Free Butt in 9 Weeks,” by Tosca Reno.


Oh no, not the dog!
The end-of-the-world epic “2012” is the most fun you'll have at the movies this weekend, Herald movie critic Robert Horton says.

It's got the best special effects $280 million can buy: California falls into the ocean, a tidal wave obliterates the White House, billions die — cool! Hopefully there's nothing too scary and sad, like a really sweet golden retriever falling into a volcanic fissure.

King of the B's: The Oscar folks will present a lifetime achievement award to Roger Corman, the creative force behind memorable low- budget fare such as “Night Call Nurses” and “Attack of the Crab Monsters."

Corman could have made “2012” with three extras, a bathtub and a model of the White House made with toothpicks.
