NOTE FROM ERIC:
Hey everyone! Today we’re starting a brand new
feature in Top5 Movies: Spot the “fake” item,
win a date with one of Billy Bob Thornton’s ex-wives!
April Fools! We’re only joking. Everyone knows you
shouldn’t ever, EVER date one of Billy Bob’s ex-wives.
This should add to the mirth created by all those random
errors you saw in Monday’s list (okay, those were actually
due to a spellchecker run amok, but nevertheless…)
In the spirit of cruel pranks, we present:


The Top 9 Hollywood
April Fool’s Day Jokes


9> Goofy “dribble crack pipe” ruins Robert Downey, Jr.’s best shirt.

8> Spy Kids arrested for selling top secret plastic poop to the Russians.

7> Eagerly awaited Star Wars DVD: Three stoned Ewoks graphically discussing their sex lives.

6> This week on “In the Actors Studio:” Air Bud

5> “Lord of the Rings” release replaced with scratchy copies of “Zapped.”

4> Jennifer Lopez’ eyebrows singed by hilarious “exploding nipples” gag.

3> “That’s right, Mr. Reubens, a brand new show on Saturday mornings! We’re thinking ‘Pee Wee’s Moviehouse’…”

2> Babe humorously butchered during prank Foot and Mouth Disease epidemic.

and the Number 1 Hollywood April Fool’s Day Joke…
