1 The end of an era

Captain America, RIP. In Marvel’s “Captain America #25,” the beloved comic-

book superhero is assassinated on the steps of New York’s Federal Courthouse.

We’re shedding one tear, though – it’s only a matter of time before they

resurrect him.

2 10-year-olds

Mayor Mike loves Tinky Winky, Dipsy, La La and Po – he’s declaring March 28

Teletubbies Day. No, really.

3 Deep breathing

Brian Frazer’s book, “Hyper-Chondriac: One Man’s Quest to Hurry up and Calm

Down,” is a riotous romp through a head case’s attempts to find inner peace

for his own bodily health.

4 Baby sisters

OMG! Hania’s out of rehab and flashing her thong at people! “Hania who?”

Exactly. We’re ashamed that we’re so starved for celebrity gossip, that we

actually care about what younger sisters of barely still famous people (in

this case, Mischa Barton) are up to.

5 Family tales

April’s Vanity Fair takes an in-depth look at “The Sopranos,” returning to

HBO April 8. But not everyone’s thrilled with the show. The mayor of North

Jersey’s Bloomfield Township just denied it a permit because he doesn’t think

it properly depicts Italian-Americans. Someone needs a trip to the Bada-Bing

to loosen up.

6 Spiritual spirits

Here’s a religious figure we can get behind: St. Patrick, the patron saint of

green beer and Guinness. Notice there’s no snakes in Manhattan, either.

7 Sunbeams

While some people are worried that their BlackBerry, TiVo and laptops are

going to combust at daylight savings time, we’re reveling in the fact that

it’ll be bright out when we leave work.

8 Being sinisterly cute

Kidrobot’s newest series, Scarygirl, debuts Tuesday. The blindbox set – you

don’t know what’s inside until you buy it – features 15 slightly spooky

characters from Aussie artist Nathan Jurevicius’ comic strip.

9 Shining stars

Looks like Star Jones is having the last laugh. Since leaving ‘The View,’ her

thighs are thinner, tummy flatter and her boobs seem less saggy, while Rosie

& Co. are still indulging in boring on-air catfights no one cares about.

10 Big Poppa

Long ago, Biggie Smalls recorded a Pepsi commercial that never aired, but to

commemorate the 10th anniversary of the rapper’s death, DJ Mr C has released

a mix tape with the Notorious one’s minute-long cola rhyme. And word on the

street is that DJ Doo Wop’s new mix tape features cuts from Big’s elusive

demo tape.
