News Topics

  • Real news, especially recent or breaking events
  • Funny or ridiculous news items
  • Recent articles from the newspaper, magazines, or online publications
  • Sports news — esp. local high school / university / professional teams

Entertainment Topics

  • Celebrity gossip
  • Recent events in TV shows or movies (don’t spoil the ending! well, unless it’s a reality show.)
  • New movies (again, no spoilers!)
