You know you’re big time when you have toilets named in your honor. But you also know times are hard when those toilets get closed down due to the economic crunch.

The Howard Stern Rest Stop along I-295 in New Jersey (only a state as klassy as Jersey would dedicate bathrooms to someone, and of course, that someone, Stern, would be equally klassy) has a history of problems and closures; it was closed last year after state officials discovered motorists were using the bathrooms for sex romps in Stern’s honor.

What else did they expect? It's the Howard Stern Rest Stop. In Jersey. Duh.

They installed portable toilets outside the pit stop and reopened it but that failed to put an end to the amorous rendezvous (Seriously? We won’t even pee in one of those things and people are doinking in them?)  Looks like that won’t be a problem anymore since officials are closing the entire area saying, "Unfortunately, it's a sign of the economic times. The cost of maintaining it was too much."

How do you know there’s a recession? When times are so tight you can’t even go to bathroom anymore.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
