Beautiful day outside. I mean, 65 and sunny, like Katie Couric.
They’re auctioning off stuff from the Titanic. There’s a menu of what was being served in the dining room the night the “Titanic” sank. And listen to this, the salad they were featuring that night: iceberg lettuce. True story.
I’d like to have that Titanic menu. It would go great with my Hindenburg soup spoon.

The Late Late Show with Craig FergusonThere was a man in Rhode Island that was arrested after he tried to rob a bank using a potato shaped like a gun. I’m glad he didn’t try that here in L.A. People would have freaked out. “Oh no, carbs! Back off, everybody! He’s packing carbs! ”
It’s Arbor Day, when we all celebrate trees. As well we should. Because trees require so little attention, yet do so much to enhance the world. They’re opposite of the Kardashians.
Arbor Day started in Nebraska in the 1800s. Nebraska’s governor thought of that while Nebraska was famous for corn, while today Nebraska is best known for . . . corn.
Friday is also World Penguin Day. Penguins are more popular since the “March of the Penguins” movie. I’m not sure why it’s called “March of the Penguins.” Penguins don’t really march. They just kind of waddle. Like fat people on vacation.

Some people are actually defending Sterling, saying he has a very good record of hiring minorities. For instance, he always has at least one white guy on the team.

Aquaman is making his big screen debut. He will be in the upcoming Justice League movie. Unlike other superheroes, Aquaman doesn’t wear a mask. He hides his identity another way — by not being popular enough to need a secret identity.
I’m not clear how Aquaman will get into the Justice League headquarters. It’s an all-glass building with no rivers or streams leading to it. It gives me a bad feeling that Aquaman arrives through the toilet.
Jimmy Kimmel LiveClippers owner Donald Sterling was caught on tape saying racist things to a woman. The NAACP was set to give him a second lifetime achievement award but rescinded the honor. I think that’s a mistake. I think he should be forced to show up and accept the NAACP award.
Everyone agrees that Sterling should be forced to sell the team. I have a solution. I will buy the team. Donald Sterling, I will give you $5,000 in cash. Do with it whatever you want. Give it to the NAACP. Maybe they’ll give you another award.
I would be proud to take the reins of what once was and again will be the worst, most miserable franchise in all of sports.

A Beverly Hills podiatrist makes his living by giving women the “Cinderella Procedure,” a surgery that alters the shape of feet so they can fit into designer shoes more comfortably. One day, God willing, technology will advance to where it’s easier to alter a shoe than a human foot.
A woman claiming to be Hitler’s maid said that he pretended to adhere to a healthy diet but actually had an insatiable sweet tooth. I knew if we waited long enough, we’d eventually find some dirt on that guy.

They fined Sterling $2.5 million. At a typical NBA game, $2.5 million is what you pay for those big foam fingers.
Tony Award nominations were announced this morning. They celebrate the best of Broadway. The ceremony will be hosted by Hugh Jackman, but I wouldn’t count on it because here at CBS hosts seem to be jumping ship left and right.
