Raise your glasses

“Citizen Kane: 3-D”: The new 3-D movie “Avatar” is just the latest in what is being touted as Hollywood’s next wave. You can expect to wear those annoying 3-D glasses more often at the movies from now on.

Even so, we hope that some films remain in glorious 2-D. The world is not ready for a three-dimensional Michael Moore documentary.

  • Speaking of funny-looking glasses: If you thought 2010 would bring an end to those dopey year-shaped glasses for New Year’s Eve with a zero for each eye, you’re mistaken. The glasses for 2010 just poke a hole in the “1.”

    The Buzz has changed its mind and is now hoping that the Mayan calendar is correct about the world’s end in 2012.

  • That old dodge? White House officials are asking photographers and reporters covering President Barack Obama’s vacation in Hawaii to respect the privacy of his two young daughters and not photograph them when they’re not with their parents.

    When photographers persisted in hovering around Sasha and Malia, White House staffers yelled, “Look! Over there! It’s Tiger Woods!” and quickly took the girls the other way.
