Horror writer Stephen King has been hired to write a monthly pop culture column for Entertainment Weekly, replacing humorist Joel Stein, who was recently fired. Stein's reaction: "Wow. Being replaced by Stephen King. I'm honored...Will he write about Britney Spears? I'd like to read that. I think he should have every column end with a gory death." I think anyone who writees about Britney Spears should have the column end with a gory death. In fact, I think I'm going to adopt that rule right now.
