Hope he doesn’t steal the camera

Ever a sucker for movies about teenagers, Hollywood’s now in talks for a possible film based on the alleged exploits of elusive burglary suspect and amateur airplane pilot Colton Harris-Moore.

If the picture ever gets made — happily, an “if” that’s bigger than one of Harris-Moore’s bare feet — The Buzz will wait until it comes out on home video, then skip straight to the epic scene where Colt vomits in the plane.

Feeling tipsy: Consumer Reports has slapped a “Don’t Buy” warning on Toyota’s Lexus GX 460 luxury SUV, citing a high risk of rollover.

After further review, the magazine amended the warning to “Don’t Buy Unless Your Only Alternative is a Chrysler.”

The most ignored name in news: CNN officials say they plan no major changes in prime-time, despite ratings that are plunging lower than a mine shaft in Wallace, Idaho.

After issuing the statement, CNN President Jon Klein instructed an aide to stuff fresh straw into veteran talk show host Larry King and reposition him on his chair.
