1. On "R.E.M. announces they're calling it quits"
wskid: "If only Brett Favre had their ability to graciously end. This shows the class they always displayed. We will miss them, but I have many recordings to listen to, many fond memories. Thanks guys!"
And the runners-up...
2. On "Robert Pattinson to record an album"
Sandra Jackson: "Might not be bad; he can sing and his songs aren't bad. It will sell like crazy regardless of the quality, though. Wonder if the cover will shimmer?"
3. On "3-D 'Lion King' feels the love with $29.3 million"
Kristi Moon Ash: My three-year-old gave 'The Lion King' two thumbs up! When Scar killed Mufasa he said, 'That was not nice. When I'm king, I'm gonna hit him with my hand.' So fun seeing a classic like that through the eyes of a child."
4. On 'Minka Kelly turned down free plastic surgery"
Lyle Maycroft: "No thanks!! I'll stay ugly, thanks!"
5. On "Is Brad Pitt more than just a pretty boy?"
Erica Woodridge: "Oh Lord, I'm so over hearing how he 'ran out on Jen Aniston.' Maybe she was boring, or just not right for him."
