Farmer Sam

Wal-Mart plans to double its sales of local produce by 2015, with the eventual goal of selling $1 billion worth of local food grown on more than 1 million small and medium-size farms.

Also on the drawing board: the world’s first 224,000-square-foot farmers market. The section devoted to birdhouses and whirly gigs will be larger than most Safeways.

“Red” hot: Bruce Willis plays a retired CIA operative on the run from assassins in the new movie “Red,” opening today.

“Red” is rated PG-13, and late-middle-age men with heart conditions are cautioned that the picture contains graphic scenes of Helen Mirren firing machine guns.

Well, that’s OK: Pop star Adam Lambert, who is openly gay, toned down his stage show at a recent concert in Malaysia to placate the nation’s prudish government.

Authorities had objected to Lambert kissing another man on stage, but had no problem with a number in which the glam rocker seizes a bamboo cane and pretends to thrash a guy.
