1. While preparing for his role as a soldier in the film Brothers, Tobey Maguire reportedly lost 20lbs in a month. "I couldn't eat much food and I had to work out a lot," said Maguire. Unfortunately, the 20lbs Maguire lost included the part that allows him to cry without looking like a melting sandwich.
2. The founder of Taco Bell, Glen W. Bell Jr., died at his Rancho Santa Fe home on Sunday at the age of 86. The funeral services will be held this Saturday at 3AM immediately following bar close.
3. Starting in June, tobacco companies will need to turn their formulas over to the FDA for a thorough examination of ingredients. The FDA says it will find out exactly what chemicals are in cigarettes and release a list of the harmful and potentially harmful ingredients in 2011. Until then, we'll just have to take the tobacco companies' word and enjoy these "smooth-tasting health-strengtheners, designed to end global poverty as well as all racial and social prejudices, while bestowing the user with sweet ninja powers."

This surprises most analysts who thought the show was operated by Beck alone, in his basement, with the help of a custom designed Mouse Trap/Domino Rally-hybrid contraption.
5. On Tuesday, U.S. food conglomerate Kraft Foods and British candy maker Cadbury agreed to $19.5 billion deal which could potentially create the world's largest candy maker. "We have great respect for Cadbury's brands [and] believe they will thrive as part of Kraft Foods," said Kraft's CEO Irene Rosenfield. A morbidly obese America will look back on this date and remember fondly the day that birthed the cheese-filled Cadbury egg.
High five.
