• New Jersey lawmakers will soon consider a measure to become the fifth state to apologize for slavery. “This is not too much to ask of the state of New Jersey,” said the bill’s sponsor. “All that is being requested … is to say three simple words: ‘We are sorry.’” No word if there will also be an apology for the New Jersey Nets.

• Retailers are extending the shopping season with Latino customers by promoting Three Kings Day—the day in Christian tradition when the three wise men visited the baby Jesus. Wal-Mart began heavily promoting the January 6 celebration last year, and it intends to expand the sales. Guess you’ll be able to pick up your gold, frankincense and myrrh at always low prices.

• Eddie Murphy married film producer Tracey Edmonds. No word if Murphy immediately left the wedding ceremony after learning he didn’t win an Oscar for his performance in Dreamgirls.
