Pretty much. Sit and do nothing, or -- at least -- nothing consequential.

2.Do the cell phone shuffle with a new phone and service plan.

q2: shuffle??

That is a new one to me. It seems like something an advertiser made up.

3.Britney's single knocked previous chart-topper Mario Winans' I Don't Wanna Know into second place.

q3: knocked here means criticize or hit, strike...?

It means Britney's single is now in first place instead of the other one.

4.Britney takes UK singles top slot

q4: slot??

It means she (her record) is in first place.

I would say it means the Lakers have been "dethroned". In other words, they are no longer the champions.

6.From that point on

q6: from that point of view?

"From that point on" means from that time until now.

I agree with Ron's comments. "The cell phone shuffle" refers to changing from one company to another every time a new deal comes out. :wink:
