3. This weekend, Bravo is premiering a new reality show called “Game of Crowns” that follows pageant contestants in their 30s and 40s. I thought we already had a show like that, it was called “Sarah Palin’s Alaska.”

4. Actress Mila Kunis said her fiancé Ashton Kutcher was her first kiss. Said Kutcher, “Between Mila and Demi, now I’ve been someone’s first and last.”
