GOING "QUAID CRAZY" IS FINALLY IN: Last year at this time, the WaPo correctly predicted that 2010 would see the rise of Justin Bieber, Nicki Minaj, groupons, cupcake trucks and Ayn Rand devotees.  So it would make sense to begin 2011 by checking out its predictions for What's In and Out for 2011, a strange new world in which zombies, Team CoCo, brussels sprouts and Diet Dr. Pepper are replaced by ballerinas, Joel McHale worship, sauerkraut and Cherry Zero.  (I must note, however, that this is the second straight year that someone's bought into that nonsense caveman diet/fitness non-trend.)

Welcome to the future, gang.  Time for me to corner the FCOJ market.

    Brussels sprouts will never be out! I was so into Brussels sprouts way before they were cool, and will continue to be. Also Betty White.

    While I agree that the paleo/caveman thing is a non-trend, those silly-ass Vibram five finger shoe gloves are a trend amongst people who don't appear to have ever worked out, let alone spent a lot of time outdoors.

  5. Diet Coke, Imma let you finish, but Cherry Zero is the greatest diet soda of all time!

  6. I saw a guy wearing those "shoes" at a concert at Madison Square Garden back in November. He appeared to be in pretty good shape physically, but I have my doubts about his mental health.

    Team Coco... not CoCo. The second C is not capitalized.

    Doofs.

  8. A few to disagree on--Based on Tron, Garrett Hedlund can't act (nor can Olivia Wilde, but she's very pretty, so that helps).  Mamie Gummer is far more likely to go mainstream this year than Lily Rabe is, given than Gummer has "Off The Map" coming up.

    I predict the rise of zombie ballerinas.
