"Hey, Rainbow," Twilight says cheerfully. "Which Daring Do book is that?"
"It's not a Daring Do book. Sheesh, Twilight, I do have interests besides Daring Do," Rainbow Dash replies.
"Could've fooled me," Twilight says with a snarky grin. Rainbow gives her an unamused scowl. "So, what is it?"
"It's called 'Exploding Blue Stars' and I can't believe how much it happens!" Rainbow says, burying her face in between the pages, as if being closer to the words will make her read them harder.
"I... seriously doubt you are that into astronomy," the alicorn says, resigned to the inevitable. The book title would not really be what she thought she heard. "So, what is it about?"
"Well, you're right, because that science-y word you said sounds boring. This is about famous ponies whose fame made them all sad and depressed and stuff, and then they had a total meltdown! Yelling, throwing things, eating grass clippings. It's totally crazy!" Rainbow says with a laugh.
"Okay, let's just get this over with. Let me see the cover," Twilight deadpans.
"Ugh. I already told you the title. Whatever," Rainbow says and shows her friend the cover. "See?"
"But that doesn't make any sense! What does that have to do with... oh... wait," Twilight says and rereads the title.
"Exploding Blue Stars."
Oh lord. Took me a moment, but that was fantastic. Reminds me of Gordon Ramsay on a bad day.

Does he eat grass clippings?

Some of the food looks like grass clippings. It probably tastes like it, too.

A couple people have sent me their own, but as far as posting them goes, I think I want to keep everything here my own. However, if you do send me puns, I'd be happy to read them and enjoy them! I am glad you liked my puns here.
Astrophysicist here. Luminous blue variables are a type of massive blue star that can explode as supernovae, and they are actually quite fascinating. Good examples are Eta Carinae and the progenitor of supernova 2009ip.
Commas are important Twi.
I love the Derpy Spy trilogy, it was fun to see it all come together.

I will admit, this style of punchline was directly inspired by Colin Mochrie's brilliant "news anchor" moments. The fact that it reminded you of that show is making me super happy, haha. I've really tried my best to come up with good ones, and discard a lot of ideas that just don't seem good enough.
Also, I really appreciate the comments. I'm so glad you've enjoyed my silly puns and cheesy stories.

In case anyone would like to see for themselves:
Oh ... no ... I was trying to guess this title, and ... no, I didn't see it. I spent 15 seconds before it clicked.
