You can get dirt on celebrities and laugh at their misfortunes on TMZ. But for a little more insight pick up Barbara Walters' memoir, Audition, in which the award-winning TV journalist talks about her career, her family, her marriages (and affairs), and the rich/famous/powerful people who have played significant roles in her life. From Angelina Jolie to Monika Lewinsky, Fidel Castro to the Dalai Lama, there's something for everyone in this book.

Juno came out on DVD this week and it's already a bestseller on Amazon. If you haven't seen it, it's about a high school girl who gets pregnant and decides to give her baby up for adoption. Diablo Cody won an Oscar for the witty screenplay. USA Today calls Juno "a likably cynical comedy" that is "actually about hope" and "charming, honest, and terrifically acted." And the movie is #10 on Rolling Stone's list of the 10 best movies of 2007.

Randy Pausch, a professor a Carnegie Mellon University, has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. So when, like many healthy professors, he was asked to give a "last lecture" focusing on the things that meant the most to him, his talk was "so moving, so positive in the face of things beyond his control, that the video became an Internet sensation." Read it for yourself. The Last Lecture is about the importance of overcoming obstacles, of enabling the dreams of others, of seizing every moment (because "time is all you have...and you may find one day that you have less than you think"). Watch the lecture online.

The Wire is over. Now what? Here's what: Generation Kill. In 2003 a Rolling Stone reporter named Evan Wright embedded himself with US Marines in Iraq and wrote a book about it called Generation Kill: Devil Dogs, Iceman, Captain America, and the New Face of American War. Publisher's Weekly called it "a personality-driven, readable and insightful look at the Iraq War's first month from the Marine grunt's point of view." In July, a 7-hour miniseries based on the book, co-written and co-produced by The Wire's David Simon and Ed Burns, will air on HBO. The book won't entertain you until July, but it's a start.
