• A new study shows building a fast food restaurant within 500 feet of a school will increase the student obesity rate by at least 5 percent. It would be no problem if all the obese students wound up having successful careers like Subway’s Jared.

• MC Hammer is being sued for accepting a $61,000 publisher’s advance, but failing to deliver on a book about fatherhood. Talk about being a delinquent dad.
