LAUGH LINES

Party Hearty: “They said . . . that Bush will attend eight different balls on the night of his inauguration. Eight parties in one night. He said, ‘Wow, it’s like I’m back at Yale again.’ ” (Jay Leno)

Family Reunion: “The Jackson Five is reuniting for an album and tour, at least according to Jermaine Jackson. . . . Jermaine says that Michael Jackson is definitely involved--even if he no longer bears any family resemblance.” (Daily Scoop)

A Fashion Don’t: “Britney Spears topped fashion czar Mr. Blackwell’s worst-dressed list. . . . Don’t you have to actually wear clothes before you can be on a worst-dressed list?” (Alex Kaseberg)

All Shook Up: “It just made its debut on the Fox network, and already scandal is shaking up ‘Temptation Island.’ E!Online reports that one of the four couples on the show forgot a key detail: They had a kid together--a fact that ultimately disqualified them. . . . Fox executives say the point of the show is to tempt couples who are at ‘a turning point’ in their relationship and do not have anything that permanently ties them together. . . . Just a few more days and the Clintons could have been on the show.” (Mark Wheeler)
