As we pointed out, today (Thursday) is National Taco Day, which (of course) means freebies --or cheaper specials-- at your favorite Taco joint.

Speaking of which, fast food is the big choice for US dinners --a new survey from the CDC and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics says nearly 40-percent of Americans will eat fast food during a 24 hour period. The number of people who want fast food diminishes by age, with the top group being 20 to 39 year-olds, 36.6% of which say they ate fast food in the past 24 hours.

Show biz news:

--DAMON WAYANS is leaving his FOX TV show, "Lethal Weapon," after the current third season wraps up. He says the 16-hour workdays and the fact that he's a "58-year-old diabetic" drove him to the decision.
