TMZ Has Case of Mistaken Identity

While I'm sure they have done it before, but this one is quite hilarious. Mistaking a 14-15 year old girl for a 9 year-old.

While spying on Bill Gate's wife and children this week they snapped a photo of them out for a walk in which they try to claim his daughter is using an iPhone. Where's her hoodie sweatshirts personalized? They even conveniently blurred it up so that it was difficult to tell exactly what kind of phone it was. The comments have mixed thoughts on what it is, but one thing is sure they don't agree it is an iPhone.

While that is ridiculous in and of itself, that isn't the worst of it. The picture is actually of Gate's older daughter who is around 15 year-old. TMZ claims the girl is 9. Along with that comes the typical TMZ comments saying how she is an Amazon, and whatever else having to do with the "good steroids". No, people have no tact on the internet. Even when it comes to children if you haven't noticed.

Making my loved ones' New Year's Eve special this year

Guest post written by Marissa Kent

I remember back in the day when it seems like I always had my options open for what I was going to do for New Year's. Well, that isn't exactly the case any more. It seems like now I'm always scrambling for something to do because now that I'm older my friends are no longer in love with the idea of hosting crazy holiday parties. So I thought that I would host one this year just like old times, or at least kind of like old times!

I looked online for some ideas about what kind of refreshments I can serve at the party and while I was doing that I ran across the site http://hearingaids.miracle-ear.com/mirage-invisible-hearing-aid.html. After I looked through it a little bit I decided to go and get fitted with some hearing aids.

I have quite the feast planned for all of us, but of course of mainly finger food. We're not actually going to have a regular sit-down meal. Instead, we're going to mingle a whole lot more. Parties like that are just a lot more fun.

Sherlock Holmes 2 Wins Weekend Box Office

I'm not sure how many people liked the first Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downy Jr. as Holmes, but I found it rather entertaining. I'm a fan of RDJ as an actor and find him to be pretty hilarious when he does a bit of a comedic role even though he is also a great dramatic actor as well. Amazing considering how much trouble he has gotten himself into over the years.

So...I was glad to hear that Sherlock Holmes 2 was being made since Holmes is clearly one of the best book series of all-time from a crime standpoint. May be quite ridiculous at times, but still very enjoyable to me overall. Even millermatic I might say.

"Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows" claims the top spot in North American box office this week. On its first weekend, the Robert Downey Jr.-starring action comedy rakes in about $40 million. The result, however, is rather disappointing since the film is expected to gross at least $50 million in its opening week, judging that its first installment "Sherlock Holmes" opened with a massive $62.3 million in 2009.

'Mythbusters' Cannonball Accident Stops Show

This is the most magical cannonball ever. Doing one of their experiments with a homemade cannon things went horribly wrong. Instead of harmlessly hitting their targets and laying to rest in their safe zone, it careened off a hill and shot into a nearby neighborhood.

The cantaloupe-sized cannonball missed the water, tore through a cinder-block wall, skipped off a hillside and flew some 700 yards east, right into the Tassajara Creek neighborhood, where children were returning home from school at 4:15 p.m., authorities said. The ball was travelling upwards of 1,000 meters per second.

There, the 6-inch projectile bounced in front of a home on quiet Cassata Place, ripped through the front door, raced up the stairs and blasted through a bedroom, where a man, woman and child slept through it all — only awakening because of plaster dust.

The ball wasn't done bouncing.

It exited the house, leaving a perfectly round hole in the stucco, crossed six-lane Tassajara Road, took out several tiles from the roof of a home on Bellevue Circle and finally slammed into the Gill family's Toyota Sienna minivan in a driveway on Springvale Drive.

Incredibly nobody was hurt, but Mythbusters has halted production in the wake of the accident. No swarovski beads for these guys.

No Such Thing as Bad Advertising

AT least according to the folks that make Words With FRiends, an app for the various smart phones and iPods we all play.

After Alec Baldwin threw a childlike fit when being asked to turn off his phone in the middle of a game when his flight was taking off Words With Friends took his side it appears. Anyone that has ever flown knows that you are asked to turn this crap off at take off and can turn it back on when in the air. OF course none of us really thinks it matters, and half the people I see have them on before the wheels even leave the ground. Still...we make an effort to not annoy the hell out of everyone on the plane by making a scene about it right?

So apprently while riding with the common folks like people working Kitchen Management Jobs, Baldwin refused and Words With Friends took advantage by throwing out a tip of the ca to Baldwin here. Personally, I think it is silly they would condone it, but we all know how people will flock to it now. Morons gun moron.

Game of Thrones Behind the Scenes Teaser Season 2

I have laid in bed almost all week with a touch of the flu so I have watched some great TV to pass the time. I actually feel like I am back in tune with what's good after watching Boardwalk Empire, The Borgias, and of course Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones was my favorite of the 3, but all 3 are fantastic series and I highly recommend them.

Of course the only one I wanted to see more of immediately was Game of Thrones. I loved it all the way through and wanted more right away so I went to Youtube. After watching a 15 minute video of Jeoffry getting slapped by the dwarf I figured I'd actually watch something for the upcoming season. There is not much out there unlike the selection of sectional sofas los angeles.

I did find this though:

I'm a Lions Fan and Even I Don't Get This

In a Friday announcement, the Lions decided to go ahead with their musical choice for the annual Thanksgiving Day game.
Football fans tuned to the Detroit Lions’ Thanksgiving Day game on Nov. 24 will be treated to a halftime performance from Nickelback, despite the protests of city residents.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/nickelback-detroit-lions-thanksgiving-nfl-260708

This is embarrassing to be a Detroit fan reading that story. As far as I know I've never heard of anything where Nickleback said something negative about Detroit. Even if you don't like them, which I don't, does this make any sense? Did they all lose out on urban outfitters coupon at dropdowndeals?

One guy even got quoted in there as saying he'd rather see REBECCA BLACK!

It's embarrassing to me to read this story. These people all sound like complete idiots. It's on the level of the 12 year olds that spend all day mocking Justin Beiber online IMO.

I jsut don't get it. What's the deal here?

Love to Travel

Author: Jonathan Suarez

I really love traveling but in the last few years it’s been harder and harder to find the money to do it with the economy the way it is. I especially like Europe but there’s never been a time when it’s been more expensive to get over there and then travel around. I can’t do it like I used to so what I’ve actually been doing a lot of is watching travel shows on TV. I went to satellitetvfamily.com a while back and got some additional channels so now I feel like I get to travel vicariously through the world while I watch on the TV! Samantha Brown’s shows are my favorite because she’s so relatable and she goes to a lot of the places I wish I could be – it’s really fun being able to feel like I’m walking through Belgium or Italy even when it’s just her. I don’t know what I would do without this form of escape because my job and my whole life are so stressful right now!

Chocolates For the Birthday Girl

When you are getting your stockpile of gifts for the lady in your life you know what you have to do. Be a bit romantic . Start out with some chocolates for the birthday girl to go along with the flowers. Unless you are money bags and can afford expensive jewelry you need to be a bit more creative.

Finding birthday gifts for her is a lot easier I think than finding them for him. The ladies actually like romantic and "cute" stuff. Us guys could care less, and want fancy electronics most of the time, or we already bought what we wanted. We're a bit more practical. Girls like to know you put some thought into it. Maybe hook her up with Chocolate covered Birthday Berries & a Birthday Bear, or a Cheesecake Trio & Full Dozen Gourmet Dipped Fancy Berries.

Lindsay Lohan Just Never LEarns

I'm not sure anyone feels sorry for this girl. The amount of times she has been arrested, violated probation, and just plainly disregarded the law has become commonplace. That she continually gets let out of her responsibilities is not just absurd, but it is completely wrong. It's not even like you can figure she gets the special treatment for being a celeb anymore can we? Why would any judge care? She looks like death and could probably do much better locked up for a while.

Today she was supposed to show up for her first day of community service at the MORGUE, but of course she arrived late and missed her first day. 40 minutes late for her orientation on her FIRST DAY. She might not even be able to sell laser printers in a couple years the way she has gone. If she lives that long that is.

Steve Honig, Lohan's spokesman, said in a statement that the actress was late because she didn't know which entrance to report to "and confusion caused by the media waiting for her arrival." (Hurrr durrr)

That's the exact kind of excuse people who never take any responsibility toss out there. Thinking anyone actually believes it is their biggest mistake.

Netflix Drops Plans to Split Streaming and DVD Services

So...after a lot of people called the idea to spin off the two services and have some stupid name like Qwickster, Netflix has gone back to their old ways and cancelled the whole deal. Gee I wonder why. Maybe it's because streaming is too limited, and people still need DVDs?

I haven't used Netflix in probably a year, but when I did the streaming just wasn't good enough. If you want to watch old movies, or some older TV shows it's not a bad deal. For those that want to rewatch classics they have seen many times it may have been great. For me I go by the philosophy that there is so much entertainment to watch now that it makes little sense for me to watch anything several times.

The surprise reversal, coming three weeks after the plan was disclosed, follows the company's unpopular 60% price hike in July for subscribers who watch both DVDs and online video.

The changes led the Los Gatos, Calif., company to predict it would lose 600,000 U.S. subscribers for the third quarter, instead of gaining as many as 400,000 as it previously forecasted. Might be time to branch out and start selling restaurant equipment too.

Did Breaking Bad Make It's First Real Mistake Last Week?

I've seen a lot of theories around last week's episode. The episode right before Season 4's finale on Sunday, and I don't like any of them. It almost feels like I'm reading 9.11 truther conspiracies this week in regards to the episode.

There are basically 2 major things that annoyed me about the episode. First was that Jesse went to Walt and accused him of poisoning his girlfriend's kid. How he would jump to this conclusion is bad enough, but let's just say he was a little paranoid like they all were this episode.

What was most annoying though and was actually cringe-worthy was the final scene. Gus all of a sudden catches Spidey sense and figures out he is in danger to be blown to bits by Walt? People have tried to explain this away in many ways, but all of them are stupid. Jesse saying the kid was poisoned put him on alert, he knew Walt would be there because of it. Blah blah blah. It's just asinine. Then knowing that someone was looking to take him out he decides to walk over to the railing in full view of anyone on another building to get sniped as if he already knew it was a car bomb.

These weren't even the conspiracy theory scenes. The theories are all based on the ricin poisoning of the kid. Trying to decide between Walt, or Gus doing it. The same people that have for weeks theorized it would be accidental and end up being the kid, or Jesse's girl (haha). Accident better be the answer because nobody in this situation is a god and omnipotent. I assume this IS what happened and all the character work done here is just them all being paranoid. If this isn't it I find no explanation worthy because the timeline doens't fit. It would make me recommend the writers to look for a new career in something like Technical Recruiter Consultant Jobs.

Terra Nova: Next Great Drama, or Next Cheesy Sci-Fi?

This past week Terra Nova debuted with a 2 hour pilot on Fox. The show promoted itself with dinosaurs and jungles, making it look somewhat like maybe it was the next copy of Lost. As we have seen every year since Lost hit it big we are getting all kinds of sci-fi shows that try to be "mysterious". While these serve their low level purpose, most of them tend to be on the level of SyFy Channel movies that are just made with little regard to quality writing.

We see shows like this a lot now. The Event, Flash Forward, and even the remake of "V". What all of these shows seem to be are trying to catch the magic that Lost had. The problem is that every one of them miss the point entirely of what made Lost so great. It had very little to do with the mysteries. It was about the good to great writing, and character development that made the show have the right mix of ingredients. Lost is closer to a cable drama than a broadcast one. It may not be on the level of say Breaking Bad, but it clearly was leaps and bounds above any other broadcast television dramas. Especially ones that are mystery sorts that have followed since.

This is one thing that makes me less likely to watch shows now. That they try to coat tail off of Lost by claiming they are the "next Lost". I don't want the next Lost. I have LOST. I want the next something good. None of these shows are that sort. They don't know the formula. At least they don't have the talent to pull it off anyways. Their characters always suck. I can find better written characters by download a youtube video of one of the top Youtubers.

So, now we have Terra Nova. Is it any different? Not really. IF you have watched such shows as The Event, you know exactly what I'm talking about here. Terra Nova has the same problems. The characters just aren't that good, and unfortunately neither is the CGI for the dinosaurs. This is another cheeseball sci-fi show that is enjoyable, but not a "must see". It's a time waster, and not much more.

Honestly, I don't have a lot good to say about it. I may watch it again, but I have the same feeling I had after the pilot of The Event. It was just OK, but not something that grabbed me and made me a fan. The depth of the characters, the dialogue, and the writing are all pure low level talent made for broadcast TV. The kind that takes the users for idiots, and basically tells us that there is a school somewhere that teaches writers how to churn out mediocrity.

Lindsay Lohan Loses Phone, Gets Back and Offers No Reward

Looks like Ms. Lohan just doesn't care. She lost her cell phone this week and apparently it had all kinds of incriminating, or embarrassing data on it. Something she definitely did not want in the hands of anyone. Lucky for her, some good guy found it and returned it without putting out any of it. She thanked him by giving him...nothing. Guess he should have gone to ComeToBarter.com instead.

According to our sources, the screen read "LINDSAY LOHAN'S PHONE" when he plugged it into his computer. He somehow figured out how to contact Lindsay's people and then returned it ... without even asking for a reward. And you guessed it ... she didn't give him one.

We're told Lindsay was ecstatic ... the phone contained lots of important phone numbers numbers and emails, as well as personal photos and "a lot of stuff" that she wouldn’t want published. TMZ

What is the September birthstone?

If you are unaware, every month of the year has a birthstone related to it. Many people like to wear their various birthstones on jewelry such as a necklace, earrings, or just a plain old ring. Someone asked the other day "what is the birthstone for September?" and I did not know so I looked it up. You can see it in the link there along with the birthstones for all the other months.

To keep you from guessing of course I will let you in on what it is right here. The September birthstone is none other than the lovely sapphire, which represents wisdom, love, faith, and purity.. To find out the birthstones for the rest of the months check out the link above.

80 year olds on facebook?

Thanks to Wm Rowe

My eight-three year old Aunt recently got DIRECT TV And Internet at her home. She was delighted and wanted me to come over and show her how to work the television and also how to get on Facebook. I was surprised that she knew about Facebook. She said that a lot of her friends had recently created accounts so that they could keep up with their family. I showed her how to use the site and helped her create a profile. Much to my surprise, by the end of her first week, she already had seventy friends! Most of her friends on Facebook were her age. I never thought about her demographic being tech-savvy. She figured out how to upload and share pictures, write on walls, and post articles via-Facebook. She also has a habit of commenting on everything. My Aunt comments on any status update I make or photo I post. She always wants to chat when we are both on Facebook. I usually get on and sign right off, but she has been keeping me busy with activity. I don’t know what I got myself into!

Weekend Box Office Blames Hurricane Irene

This weekend the box office reportedly took a $25 million hit from the east coast storm Irene. While the movies available to see weren't exactly top notch anyways who's to know how much it really took off. Other than "The Help" there wasn't much that was hyped going into the weekend anyways.

The weekend finished about 25% lower than the same weekend last year so it was rough. It was actually only the 2nd lowest weekend of the year, however. I wonder what weekend that was? Probably whatever weekend didn't have a horrible movie about robots blowing things up I'd guess.

Using their free trial conference calls I'm sure The Help cast was excited to see themselves overcome being #2 last week and jumping to #1 this week.

Model, Hailey Clauson Suing Urban Outfitters For Using Racey Photo of Her On Shirt

The image above has been put onto some t-shirts that Urban Outfitters is selling. 16 year-old model Hailey Clauson claims that this photo is being used without her permission, and is suing for a measly $28 Million. She will enjoy a few backwoods cigars free shipping if she wins.

She claims that the photo is hurting her reputation and even claims that it may be a violation of child decency laws.

The photographer sounds like a real class act:

[Jason Lee] Parry is described in the lawsuit as a professional photographer whose "unconventional body of work" features "nudity, semi-nudity, sexually suggestive situations involving only women and what appear to be underage girls, many with bloody noses as if incurred as a result of repeated drug use and/or physical violence."

Did Lady Gaga Steal the Song 'Judas'?

While I admit that I have never heard of, nor heard the song, I am going to put in a guess as to no, no it wasn't before I even read an article about it. I have a 50/50 chance. Now let's see if I am correct.

Of course, a song called "Judas" is labeled in every article as "controversial". Thank you thief accuser. Now I must go hear this song to decide if it is indeed controversial, or just something whack jobs need to find issue with. Thankfully, the great TMZ has both song to hear right there.

The problem with terrible pop music is that it all sounds the same to me. Like crap. Of course I can deduce a little bit in it and decide if they are the exact same thing. If you listen to these two things they sound almost nothing alike. As I said before, pop music all has the same sound for the most part. One crappy pop song with similar beats sounding like another one is just the way it is. There are probably 1,000 songs on the bottom half of pop CDs that sound exactly the same as either one of these. It's not a hit, so who cares. Even I can tell that much. Rebecca whoever, pick up some Milestone Birthday Invitations and enjoy your 15 minutes. You can throw a theme party on copyright infringement and maybe your "friends" will agree with you to your face and you will overhear them mocking you by the bathroom a few hours and several drinks later for your silly claims. ;)

Looks Like a Much Needed Video Appearance Upgrade on Youtube this week

After years of using their standard Youtube player, that many have copied since inception Youtube hasn't really changed the look of it over the years. The colors at least anyways with the light gray and red everything else.

Logging on earlier this week I noticed that all the video players are now a black color on the borders and much more sleek than they once were. A refreshing change I must say. An actual "improvement" that makes some sense compared to all the other random improvements they toss out every few months. Like the overly confusing new search system they use, or just the fact that they haven't improved the comments on videos in years. They still are more of a hassle to read on videos with tons of comments than they are worth.

While the new video look is on the Youtube site you can see, I have noticed that it hasn't transferred to embedded videos just yet, although they have changed those too. They now allow you to set the pixel width on embedded videos manually so they don't stretch off the page on places like a golf pda gps...blog posts. :)

Harry Potter World Cup Final Four; No Harry Potter!

Maybe not shocking to most HP fans, but I was a little bit surprised tthat Harry himself did not make the cut of the Final Four in MTV.com's Harry Potter World Cup. Who knocked him off? His most hated professor of course. The sneaky, and not really that bad a guy, Severus Snape.

The Final Four of the tournament has a couple of characters everyone should expect in Ron and Hermione. The other of the foursome is Harry's godfather, Sirius Black. Ron and Hermione will probably make their way to the Finals and face off against each other I predict since they don't face off this round being #1 seeds. Not sure if you get anything like reward cards for getting the bracket right, but maybe you do I haven't looked at the rules.

My personal favorite characters are Harry as #1. I just like how he put up with so much crap from the Dursley's and still came out without being such a bad guy. Fred and George are my favorite comic relief. The book version of Dembeldore is also one of my favorites since he is quite funny himself in the books. In the movies the headmaster is much too serious, and not at all like his character in the book.

Transformers 3 On Pace for $1 Billion at the Box Office Worldwide

To think that a movie where cliches of dialogue and everything being animated could pull in $1 Billion at the box office I guess I just have to remember what sells. Action flicks in the U.S. are the bread and butter of the summer movie going season I suppose so I shouldn't be surprised that every summer something as low brow as one of these movies is taking the top spot at the box office 2 weeks in a row. It may not be the best movie out right now, but it certainly has the box office draw to make more money than any of the other ones.

"Transformers: Dark of the Moon" easily held on to first place, making another $47 million this week. That number represents a 52% decline from last weekend and gives "Dark of the Moon" a 12-day total of $261 million. The original "Transformers" had earned $212.3 million at the same point, while "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" had pulled in a stronger $293.4 million. What a disappointment I'm sure.

While not blowing anything up and being done with a computer for most of the characters, R Rated comedies are still doing well this summer like they always do. "Horrible Bosses" finished the weekend in second place with a robust $28.1 million debut, continuing this summer's streak of successful R-rated comedies.

The Warner Brothers film had a healthy $9,247 per-theater average, and it opened within the range of "Bridesmaids" and "Bad Teacher," (which looks horrible to me even though Heather Graham is still hot and in no need of diet pills yet) which started with $26.3 million and $31.6 million, respectively.

Casey Anthony Trial Withdrawal Waning

If you are one of the many that watched the Casey Anthony trial everyday as it was broadcast live you probably got so used to watching it everyday that you wonder what you can do now. While the verdict was outright wrong...no, I'm not even going to hide my disagreement...all we have now are a bunch of moron jurors to tell us how poorly they paid attention, and broadcast their lack of intelligence.

By the time I had heard an alternate juror, and a couple of actual jurors talk my withdrawal was about gone. Listening to their excuses was so ridiculous that I wasn't even angry anymore. I just had to laugh.

We now know that they all thought she was guilty, didn't ask to see any evidence while in the jury room, told us that they didn't want to give her the death penalty which they thought was part of the verdict, and considered a fairy tale to be actual evidence. Then had the lack of common sense to claim that there wasn't enough evidence to convince them that it was at least manslaughter. See, if you watched the trial you know there was. Nothing you can do about it now. At least now you know YOU aren't crazy. You know the jurors were just wanted to get out of there and didn't bother even piecing it together.

So enough of it. Make a law that jurors can't get paid for interviews after these cases. Don't subject us to this mind numbing BS. Now we can all go back to watching baseball, or whatever it is we do. I know I haven't watched a game in about 2 weeks, which is insane since I watch almost every Detroit Tigers game there is. After the All-star game this next week I will get myself some baseball gifts and get back into it for good.

Speeds Up To 140 MPH and Alcohol Cause of Ryan Dunn's Death According to Police

According to the toxicology results released Wednesday, Ryan Dunn had a blood alcohol level of 0.196. This is over twice the legal limit. Police also said that the 34-year old Jackass star was speeding along at up to 140 M.P.H. at the time of his Porsche accident that killed not just himself, but Zachary Hartwell, 30.

Dunn wasn't exactly the safest driver as many reports talk about past driving issues. He was probably texting, or Tweeting on his samsung htc at the time as well. As any fan of Jackass can say it probably isn't a surprise to see that any one of those guys was in a situation such as this. Living fast and dying fast.

Dunn was born in Ohio and moved at age 15 to Pennsylvania, where he met fellow “Jackass” cast member Bam Margera on his first day of high school, according to a biography posted on his website.

Margera visited the crash site Tuesday, telling WTXF-TV that he was devastated by Dunn’s death.

“I’ve never lost anybody that I cared about. It’s my best friend,” he told WTXF, weeping. “He was the happiest person ever, the smartest guy. He had so much talent, and he had so many things going for him. This is not right, not right.”

Lindsay Lohan Fails Alcohol Test

Another day, another probation violation for the star (?) Lohan. Does she even have any work anymore, or is she just a trainwreck to talk about? She is in the news so often for having to go to court, spend a couple months in jail, or just plain getting away with something I can't even keep up. Today was just another one of those apparently.

Paparazzi spend so much time following her that we have images of her doing just about everything. Well everything except videos with eotech 552 night vision of her having sex with 10 men I suppose. Do we have one of those of her yet?

Anyways, her failed booze test. She has been on house arrest for however long, but still parties down at her place. Surprisingly we don't have videos of monkey reporters filming this for some reason. It's not like they aren't dangling off balconies to get pics of these events right?

She is supposedly going to be asked to get sent to jail again. Seems like every time something happens they just give her more probation, or some slap on the wrist. I am guessing this time she serves 30 days and then she is on probation again where she has no reason to follow it and we have to hear about her failing drug tests again for a couple more years.

Lady Gaga to Likely Sell 1 Million Copies of "Born This Way" During First Week

Say what you want about Lady Gaga, but she knows how to market. She certainly has made herself into an icon after just one album, and I think many will compare her to Madonna in her influence. I think it is still a bit early to say her career will follow the same success with this being just her second album, but you have to admire her ability to put on a show. She just seems to have that same type of charisma Madonna did in her early years, and we all know how huge Madonna became eventually. I expect Lady Gaga to be right next to her a decade from now, but I suppose she has to keep putting out decent tunes still, which I am pretty sure she is capable of considering her background.

www.postworkoutsupplements.org

I'm not professing my fandom of her by any stretch. She still sings pop music and I find it to be one of my least favorite genres. I do admire her ability to market though and give her a lot of credit for designing this larger than life image and taking the world by storm.

As for her new album...another marketing genius ploy. She had her album on sale on Amazon.com for 99 cents one day only and it got so much traffic Amazon servers went into shock. Still thee were over 330,000 units processed on that day. She got the buzz from the price, and the Amazon servers getting shut down, and she will likely sit atop the Billboard charts as #1 her first week. Something a 99 cent release is a bit of a cheat to get eh? It is projected that 1 million copies will sell week one, so it isn't like she wasn't going to be there anyways right?

'The Hangover 2' Not Much of a Hit With Critics

'The Hangover 2' opens this weekend, and critics feel like they are being cash-cowed. Another sequel made to try and squeeze money out of the success of the first movie, but bringing little to the table to get viewers excited. Sounds like critics would rather treat get body acne treatments than watch this film.

While 'The Hangover' was a decent comedy, and better than most in recent years, I didn't feel like I was watching anything special when I saw it. It got a lot of hype, and people seemed to enjoy it, but I still felt it wasn't an instant comedy classic by any stretch. It was sort of like Zombieland to me. Full of hype with very little payoff, and trying way too hard to appeal. Like the people making it had some references to what is cool, but didn't really "get it" with what they were referencing. Just trying too hard.

Times critic Betsy Sharkey, accusing the film of existing purely as a crass cash-grab without any good comedy to justify itself. She writes, "Me, I'm left with morning-after regrets. Lost is the fresh, perverse, painfully politically incorrect R-rated pleasure that came when 'The Hangover' ate up the summer of 2009."

Manohla Dargis of the New York Times: "If you superimposed a diagram that mapped out all the narrative beats, characters and jokes in 'The Hangover Part II' over one for 'The Hangover,' the two would align almost perfectly."

Roger Ebert's two-star review gives the film credit for having a few laughs (mostly because of Zach Galifianakis), but Ebert takes offense at one photograph, seen during the film's closing credits. Like the first one, "The Hangover Part II" saves the final revelations of the boys' wild night out for a montage at the end. "It's not that I was shocked. This is a raunch fest, yes, but not an offense against humanity (except for that photo, which is a desecration of one of the two most famous photos to come out of the Vietnam War). The movie has its share of laughs."

Apparently Rebecca Black is NOT Pregnant

I have no idea where this rumor came from, but I'm sure it was just someone trolling the interwebs. That someone picked it up and ran with it is laughable. Actually I don't even know if there was a story about this, but TMZ mentioned it earlier today so that we all knew she wasn't.

Actually, Rebecca Black herself mentioned it on her Twitter page that she isn't preggo. You remember her. She's that SSDI expert, or I mean the singer of the greatest song ever made "Friday" the day before Saturday.

From her Twitter (how cute...DAR)

"I thought it was May 15th...Not April Fool's Day. I'm absolutely NOT pregnant!"

Oh sorry. Why so ashamed of me?

Thor Still a Top The Box Office Charts

I don't knwo about any of you guys, but when a new comic book movie comes out I am immediately skeptical. Unless it is one of the big names like Superman, Batman, Spiderman, etc. that I was a fan of growing up I tend to think it will suck. Of course I am looking forward to Green Lantern this year, but again that was one of my favorites growing up.

Thor on the other hand. I am really not that familiar with. I wasn't that familiar with Ironman either to be quite honest, but I had heard more about him than Thor at least. Another thing with comic book movies is that you really have to sift through some random fanboy reviews to get any idea what the movie quality is. There are the diehards that will say it is amazing no matter what. Then you have the angsty fans that will call it blasphemous no matter how good it is. I want to hear from non-comic book fans to know, and frankly I have heard good things about Thor fromt hem so I can only assume that it isn't a complete abortion.

Thor withstood the arrival of Universal's well-received female comedy Bridesmaids and Screen Gems' 3D sci-fi/horror flick Priest to claim the top box office spot for the second weekend in a row.

Thanks to a wide screen count (3,955) and higher priced 3D and IMAX 3D tickets, Thor held onto its box office throne quite well in its second weekend as lightning struck twice for the godly superhero. Takign a bit of apidexin it was off 47.5% from its opening, the Kenneth Branagh flick earned an estimated $34.5 million to bring its total to $119.2 million. With nearly $200 million in ticket sales from overseas markets, the film's overall total now stands at $320 million.

Bristol; Palin Has "Corrective" Jaw Surgery

No no....it's not plastic surgery. It's CORRECTIVE jaw surgery. Whether it was done for purely vanity reasons, or for medical reasons, she looks a lot better you have to admit.

The left is the after obviously. She looks WAY better I must say. STill don't want to hear her coming through my wireless outdoor speakers, but she is much nicer to look at.

The new look, complete with Palin losing 5 pounds, was unveiled April 30 at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in Washington, D.C.

"Yes, it improved the way I look, but this surgery was necessary for medical reasons," she told Us magazine for its May 23 issue, which will be on newsstands Friday. She said that her jaw need it to align properly.

White House Corresponden'ts Dinner

I always find these hilarious. Obama does an amazing job at playing to the crowd, obviously. The best part was that he came out to Hulk Hogan's "I'm a Real American" theme song. Playing against those that always claim he wasn't really born in the U.S. and that he shouldn't be president. Then he shows some old video footage of him growing up that is pretty funny. It's just from the Lion King where animals are all around and eating african mango and whatever.

The first video has that in it, while the second video is just as long with Seth Myers giving a long hilarious speech as well. These dinners aren't for politics particularly. They are made to take a break and have a few laughs. They usually deliver, and this one is no different.

You Start To Feel Really Old When...

Nothing makes me feel older than when I see actors/actresses graduate from playing roles as high schoolers when I was younger to taking on roles as parents. I remember when Encino Man came out, and Brendan Fraser played a caveman that was in high school. Yeah it was a Pauley Shore movie. What did you expect?

Now I see that he is being cast in a role on a TV series in which he will be playing a FATHER. Not to mention that he isn't really the headline of the show either. Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical, which I have never seen, nor want to, will be his "daughter". She is set to play a pregnant, homeless teen, in a series entitled "Gimme Shelter," an indie drama that will also star Brendan Fraser as her father. Get your key charm as soon as you can for this clear hit.

Talking motorcycles with my coworkers

Guest post written by Alex Lee

For the longest time when I would carpool with my coworkers back and forth, the talk would be all about motorcycles. Except I was the only one that didn't own a motorcycle. But now that isn't a problem because I just bought one about a month or so ago. I wanted one for some time now, but after hearing them talk about their bikes all the time, I really decided that I needed to have one.

I mentioned to them that I was going to buy a bike and they gave me a lot of device. But I also decided to do my own research, as well. I was online one night looking up different bike models and while I was online I happened upon the website www.get.wildblue.com. I read through it some and after that I decided to switch over my home internet service to the provider.

It turns out at least half of the information they gave me was true, but it was really close at that halfway mark. They did give me some good direction about what to get though, I'll give them that much. We're already planning our first bike ride together.

ABC Accused of Not Paying General Hospital Creators Their Rightful Share

As we all know, one of the longest running of the American institution known as soap operas is about to end. General Hospital began airing in 1963, and was created by the couple Frank and Doris Hursley. Apparently, ABC might not have been very honest with them in what the show actually showed in profits.

Both now deceased, the Hursley's daughters (of course. sure they cried fountains) have begun asking questions about just exactly what ABC might owe for the show. The estate of Frank and Doris Hursley has filed suit against ABC claiming that they were not paid the agreed upon rate of 10% of the show's profits.

The suit has been filed in hopes that the judge will quickly force ABC to open their books and set the record straight. The Hursley's claim that ABC has been cooking their books for years, although the lawsuit doesn't specify just how much they think they are owed.

30 Second Commercials On Oprah's Last Show: $1 Million

What is this the Super Bowl? I suppose it isn't too odd that they are this much considering this show will likely be watched by maybe a couple people. At least everyone that would need something like a way to naturally increase testosterone.

With Oprah Winfrey readying for her May 25 sign-off, advertisers are being asked to dig deep into their pockets.

The asking price for a 30-second opportunity to reach viewers on Winfrey’s final daytime talk show is currently at $1 million. Depending on placement within the show, some buyers will likely shell out even more.

Six years ago, a spot in “Seinfeld’s” final episode cost $1.42 million. But for that price, they got the opportunity to reach 76.3 million, an unheard of sum outside of events like the Super Bowl in today’s fractured landscape.

Season 5 of Mad Men Delayed Until 2012!?

Every Mad Men fan knows that there are contract disputes between the network and the show’s creator, Matthew Weiner. Apparently these disputes have caused the show to be delayed all the way until early next year. Something I usually do after I take my pre workout supplement with my workouts...lol

AMC, which has showcased “Mad Men” for the last four summers and has benefited mightily from it, has offered Mr. Weiner a three-season deal that would be worth $30 million, according to people with knowledge of the negotiations. But Mr. Weiner is bristling at the channel’s proposal to shorten each episode by two minutes (to add commercial time) and to cut the cast budget (to save money). He says the changes would fundamentally make “Mad Men” a “different show.”

Yeah...for it basically being their cornerstone show he can demand whatever he wants. This show more or less put AMC on the map as THE cable channel for hot dramas in recent years.

Father Gets Revenge Against Daughter's Rapists...With an Axe

Hearing the term "Axe-murderer" doesn't come up too often in real life unless you are talkign about some sort of slasher film. Today we can openly use the term to talk about this story.

Apparently this man's daughter was raped by a few different men. The also allegedly infected her with HIV. The father, seeking revenge, stalked these men for days until finally decided it was time to kill them.

He was arrested for killing 3 of them and nearly killing a fourth. He's gonna need a wireless cell booster for the hole he'll be put in.

This story is rather horrific. This quote from the article is about all you really need to know just how horrific:

"One of the victims was left decapitated, and it is believed his head was found around 1.6km away from his body, Afrikaans daily Beeld reported."

AFLAC Duck (Gilbert Gottfreid) Fired For Tsunami Jokes

Aflac is a Japanese car insurance firm that does close to 75% of its business in Japan. Gilbert Gottfreid has been the voice of the Aflac duck for over 10 years.

In another career sidetracked by stupid celeb Twitter comments, Gottfreid. "TWEETED": I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say: "There'll be another one floating by any minute now". Later he tweeted: "What does every Japanese person have in their apartment? Flood lights."

Aflac considered the comments distasteful. While I am normally OK with any type of humor I can't really blame a company for dismissing someone that is associated with them when they say stuff like this. People just have to know who writes their checks. Not much reason for Gottfreid to come out with these lame ass jokes. Looks like he'll be looking for a cash advance online now rather than picking up another Aflac check.

He later wrote: 'Japan called me. They said: “Maybe those jokes are a hit in the U.S., but over here, they're all sinking”.'

He later issued one of those celeb apologies that mean nothing, 'I sincerely apologise to anyone who was offended by my attempt at humour regarding the tragedy in Japan.'

Speaking to the Hollywood reporter, he added: 'I meant no disrespect, and my thoughts are with the victims and their families.'

Britney Spears "Free" Concert in SF Announced for March 27

Oooooh Britney Spears free concert. I can't wait. I would gladly pay to see Britney in a pornographic film. Oops, lost my train of thought. I'll be right back after I hit the faucets for a cold splash.

Britney is giving a free concert out in San Francisco on March 27, and it will be aired on Good Morning America on the 29th. Spears will take the stage for a one-hour performance beginning at noon that day, according to Supervisor Scott Wiener, whose district includes the Castro.

She'll perform on a stage erected in front of the Castro Theatre, and the crowd will assemble right there on the street. The 400 and 500 blocks of Castro, from Market to 19th streets, will be closed to traffic beginning at roughly midnight March 26 to 4 or 5 p.m. March 27.

So...get your tents and lawn chairs ready because admission is "first come, first serve:. They have no idea what the capacity is going to be yet either so there is no way to tell if you have a shot. Surely just hanging out with Britney fans has to be an amazing experience right?

This is How to Advertise a Play

Spider-man: Turn off the Dark is an on-Braodway play featuring music by people like Bono and The Edge. It is the highest costing play to ever be performed due to all kinds of things. The main one is what we will be touching on today. The Technical stunts such as actors swinging from "webs" and several aerial combat scenes.

Why are we going to talk about this, and why is my title so sarcastic (yes it is sarcasm so don't get so angry)?

Well...the show has suffered a few more safety violations, and they will be fined $12,600 for them. A production that costs upwards of $65 million isn't going to be phased by such a fee, but it is actually advertising. Could be worth the cost until someone gets hurt. Oh wait...did someone actually get hurt?

The citations stem from four instances last year in which cast members of the Broadway musical were hurt, including one in which an actor, Christopher Tierney, sustained broken ribs and a hairline skull fracture, among other injuries, when he plunged, untethered, from a platform on stage.

Well then. I guess this isn't a joking matter. Of course I am guessing that some are secretly happy for the free publicity that makes the show seem dangerous and all the lookie loos workign manufacturing jobs and not getting the kind of scratch these guys get will want to see for themselves.

Would You Pay For Behind The Scenes Footage of the Oscars?

The correct answer here is: No. Why would you? I mean if you have some money you want to give away I suppose, but do you really care what is going on behind the scenes? Enough to pay for it? Oscars themselves are a form of sleep pills. I guess this might keep you up for 20 minutes.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and broadcast network ABC are unhooking the velvet rope on the Oscar.com website to provide live video streams of usually hidden aspects of Oscar night on Feb. 27, including celebrities mingling at a lobby bar, hair and makeup artists applying a final gloss to presenters before they take the stage and awards winners gliding into the post-ceremony celebration, the Governors Ball. more

"Unknown", Latest Liam Neesson Flick Winning Box Office So Far

Liam Neeson hasn't exactly been a slouch as an actor over his many years, but he kind of got new life with his movie "Taken" a couple years back for the younger crowds. In that movie he played the ultimate badass out to find his kidnapped daughter and pulls a James Bond/Rambo role to save the day.

"Unknown" has gotten mixed reviews, and many say that it is kind of a movie that tries a bit too hard. It is another action Thriller of course and I'm sure the box office will love it regardless. It also stars January Jones from Mad Men, who is basically the current "hottest chick around" beauty right now according to a lot of people out there.

The story is more or less a "memory loss" one where Neeson gets in an accident, loses his memory, finds out everything he thinks is true is somehow wrong, blah blah. I assume the acting is decent and the action is heavy so surely it is at worst a good popcorn flick.

Unknown's $6.7 million on Friday was half-a-million good enough to top I Am Number Four's $6.2 million. I Am Number Four sounds like a kind of Twilight-esque sort of franchise. I figured it would win the weekend, and maybe still will since it is close after a day. Some that have read the books say the movie was kind of half-assed. This franchise is going to have another movie already in August so it definitely needs a bit of a showing. It's about some alines that are hiding on Earth. Number Four is fighting alien rivals.

Radiohead Releases Album Online; Website Overloaded

Radiohead, who released their last album In Rainbows basically "free" in a pay what you want fashion, has released The King Of Limbs early, and online without a major release party. Not free this time, but still cheaper than most. $9 for the .mp3 version, and $14 for .WAV files.

Anyways, the website to download the album is overloaded and you couldn't buy it if you wanted to. Guess I'll go get some animal cuts.

The unique thing about this release is that it was released worldwide. Typically releases are done in the U.S. and the U.K. first and then several months later to other places like India. The CD version will be released in May in a package with a bunch of crap in it for those that still buy that stuff.

That they didn't release it for "free" this time may be a bit of a knock on the download fans who never pay for tunes anyways. Guilting people into it I guess didn't work well enough and they still make more selling it apparently than asking for a handout.

Support Fringe PLEASE!

If you are one of the Nielsen families that has that handy little box in their homes, please start watching Fringe on Friday nights at 9 PM ET on Fox. Fringe was moved to the Friday "Death Slot" earlier this year as Fox loves to do with its sci-fi shows that do OK, but are stalling in the ratings.

Literally the only thing that matters for these shows to get renewed is for the Nilsen ratings to hit the numbers in the 18-30 something demographic. A sad state of affairs since it is our demo that typically watches these shows on DVR, online, or other methods. None of these other methods mean squat. It's the people with the box tuning in on Fridays at 9 PM ET.

If you are a fan of Fringe you know how great it is, and that it is getting better as the show progresses. Season 3 right now has introduced all kinds of interesting plots and the show, while quasi-scientific still allows for a bit of interesting and more intelligent sci-fi than the other reality crap on right now that appeals to the indoor tanning lotions crowd and the most dominant one right now.

I started watching this show last year sometime, and I love it. I am not a big TV watcher for most shows because there simply isn't all that much out there that I can watch live and enjoy. Breaking Bad, Dexter, and Fringe are probably about it. Anything on AMC is worth watching like MAd MEn, and Walking Dead (maybe, this show put me off a little and was boring in the first season already).

The difficulty with this show is that getting new viewers is tough since it isn't episodic, but has a series mythology much like the X-Files did. Of course the X Files had much more Monster of the Week programming than Fringe does.

You can watch all the way back to the pilot here.

Michael Jackson's Estate Earns $310 Million; Half Used To Pay Off Debt

If you thought MJ's heirs were going to be able to pocket everything they earned off the deceased King of Pop you may be somewhat surprised at how debt is actually being paid down with the earnings.

Michael Jackson's estate has generated $310 million in revenue from album sales, a film, merchandising and other products since the "Thriller" singer died in 2009, according to court papers filed on Thursday.

His estate's administrators have used $159 million to pay down the pop star's debt, which when Jackson died amounted to more than $400 million, court records show.

"Although there remain unresolved creditor claims, pending litigation and additional challenging business, tax and legal issues, and the estate is not yet in a condition to be closed, the executors have made substantial progress in reducing the estate's debt," the documents state.

The records, which were made public as part of the estate's probate proceedings, are the most detailed accounting yet of the finances of Jackson's estate from his death until December 31, 2010.

They aren't exactly starving, but I was surprised to see that so much debt was taken care of. I assumed that they would try to keep it in court for much longer and not have to use it. Then squander it all on underwater cameras and theme parks and pretend they were poor. Of course they really can't do that since it is an estate and it owes the money and they got dibs.

Justin Bieber To Be On Saturday Night Live!

Yay! I love him!

LOL

Not really. I honestly don't even know what he is famous for. I just know that he is probably the most talked about person in the world and he is the main focus of probably 30% of all Youtube comments. I believe I heard once that he is the first true star to be born on Youtube. If that is the case then good for him. That's the new American Dream right there folks. Put a bunch of videos on Youtube and you are probably more popular than anyone in the world.

You may not be in the press, or get a lot of exposure in popular media, or see them on The O'Reilly Factor in Conference calls, but I can assure you that there are probably more people around the world that follow the Shaytards than most other celebrities out there.

Anyways, young Bieber is going to be on SNL. It is a surprise appearance that obviously everyone knows about. Bieber just appeared on The Daily Show a couple days ago in place of Jon Stewart. He owns you all.

Regis Philbin Announces Retirement From "Live!"

REgis Philbin has been on some shows. Some shows I may have seen. Most that I haven't. Other than Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, I am kind of scratching my head trying to think of what else he has done besides the morning shows, which I would only watch to stare at Kelly Ripa if I happened to surf by it.

So...he's going to be lighting up his monte cristo cigars and sailing of to the old folks home in Florida I suppose. He claims he isn't sick and that he is just retiring.

"No, I'm not sick," he declared on his morning morning chatfast Wednesday.

Showing off newspaper clips with stories about his retirement news, he added, "I don't want to get morbid about this but I almost felt like I was looking at my obituary," he said.

I imagine it does. Feels like writing one just talking about a celebrity retiring, because frankly, they NEVER RETIRE. So...upon this realization, I guess good old Regis is just looking for some ass kissing while he is alive. Well played, sir. Well played.

Jennifer Lopez Makes a Fool Of Herself

I honestly have no idea what the context of these quotes are from, but I'm going to go with she is dead serious when she says them. She is talking about the Golden Globes and being afraid that Ricky Gervais will make fun of her and embarrass her. Guess you wanted that job for yourself.

"He's very gutsy, it takes a lot of guts to get up there and make the comments he made and go for that type of comedy," she tells Access Hollywood. "I'm sure in his mind it was all in good fun. But in the room, being in the room it was like, eek... Then, when I go backstage to present, I'm backstage with Alec [Baldwin], we're about to walk out, and Ricky shows up. I say, 'Listen! I will kill you, you understand, I am from New York, my husband fights, we both fight, we will beat you up after the show... with a couple of bleep bleeps in there."

In the end, he made a crack about her extravagant spending habits, but she said she didn't mind it. Maybe something about needing the best weight loss supplement would have been better. AT least be rude dude.

"I scared him," Lopez later told Ellen DeGeneres on her show. "He was scary, though."

The "Poe Toaster" Doesn't Show For Second Straight Year

A tradition that started in 1949, and ran for some 60 years seems to be done. For the second straight year the mysterious Poe Toaster failed to show at the grave of Edgar Allen Poe on his birthday.

A fascinating tradition that ran for some 60 years and was never fully explained appears to have ended. An unknown person who left three roses and a half-empty bottle of cognac at Poe's grave on the anniversary of the writer's birth failed to appear Wednesday, the second straight year he's disappointed those who stake out the downtown Westminster Hall and Burying Ground.

"I think we can safely say it's not car trouble, and he's not sick," said Jeff Jerome, curator of the Poe House and Museum. "This doesn't look good."

Maybe he was more interested in reading phentermine reviews today.

Has Ricky Gervais Ever Not Went Close To Over the Line?

While watching the Golden Globe stuff so I could talk about it a little I saw some of his older videos on Youtube that I remembered from the past. What's funny is that I was clear on what kind of comedian he was before the show, but the backlash was what surprised me considering what kind of comedian he is.

The one video I have always loved of him on Youtube wasn't a stand up act, or anything that you would even think of with him in it. While pretty tame compared to most things he does, it still shows that he isn't going to be handcuffed by his stage no matter what. It is a video of him hanging out with Elmo from Sesame Street. It is hilarious, and cute, but at the same time he still touches on subjects that probably aren't appropriate for the company he is with.

He mentions the Holocaust, fat people that need weight loss pills that work, necrophelia, and it is still hilarious.

Ricky Gervais Claims He Won't Host Golden Globes Again

The absurdity of this backlash for his performance at the Golden Globes just keeps getting better. Don't fool yourself into thinking any of this is real. It's all a put on IMO. The Golden Globes are perfectly happy with what he did at the awards show. They didn't even ask to see his script before hand, and unless you didn't know who Gervais was before you saw him at the show you already knew he was going to be a grumpy and controversial host.

It isn't like Gervais went out of his way to sound like he was upset with the Golden Globes. People are just making it into something that it isn't. Maybe they were uncomfortable?

Gervais said "I think twice is enough." to TMZ earlier. Oh no! He is really upset. Sounds like he just doesn't have any more jokes to me. Clearly most of his jokes at the show were 10 years old already. Maybe he needs to spend some time with a cautery and some medical supplies and come up with more fat guy, AIDS, and cancer jokes like his standup act.

Jim Carrey Still Drawing Ratings on SNL

IT seems like it has been a decade since I watched a Jim Carrey movie that I liked. Well it seems like a decade since I have seen any Carrey movies. For some reason he seems to have been passed on as an entertainer that I follow, or look forward to seeing.

After the NFL playoff games yesterday (GREAT opening weekend of the NFL BTW) I saw he was on and decided to watch. Then I got sidetracked and never watched it...lol

Today I see that his ratings were the best since our favorite golden oldie, Betty White was on. If you remember, Betty White's appearance had a huge following and she actually was picked to appear based on a Facebook campaign, and rubbing magic rings. SNL delivered a 7.8 in the metered-market household Nielsens. You have to go back to when Betty White hosted the show with Jay-Z as musical guest last season to find a bigger next-day number.

I guess I will catch it later this week with On Demand since I missed it. I can never tell what the show is gonna be based on what I see viewers say. The show DOES suck most weeks so I can't blame the bitterness out there, but there are always a few good sketches, and even when weeks are above average people still complain about "how it used to be" like they remember it being the greatest show ever. IT has been a while for sure with a cast I truly enjoyedd, but the show has its moments still.

Mila Kunis Broke Up With Macauley Culkin After 8 Years!

Forget about the fact that I never knew they were even going out. I always thought Macauley was a drug addict, or some crack head somewhere laying on the glass tile in his bathroom. Dude is never anywhere anymore. He's only about 30 I think so it seems like he'd be in some flicks now and then. Maybe he is and I didn't notice that either?

Anyways, I guess they broke up, and went out for 8 years. Why they broke up I could not say. Probably because he has greasy hair? Makes as much sense as anything else I can think of.

"Little Fockers" Win Box Office For Second Straight Week

For the love of god people go watch a real movie. While I liked Meet the PArents, and even tolerated Meet the Fockers, seeing this movie win the box office 2 weeks in a row is saddening. Not because it is awful, although I suspect it probably is, but that it has this much power at the theater. Everyone getting out of inpatient rehab centers for the holidays and need a stoner movie to see?

Regardless. Check out Tron: Legacy before it gets out of theaters if you plan to ever see it at all. Like Avatar, it NEEDS to be seen in the theater.

"Little Fockers" led the box office over the New Year's holiday with $25.8 million, finishing as the No. 1 movie for the second-straight weekend. Second was "True Grit," Paramount, $24,416,515, 3,083 locations, $7,920 average, $86,670,382, two weeks. Third was "Tron: Legacy," Disney, $18,756,973, 3,365 locations, $5,574 average, $131,304,844, three weeks.

Another movie that seems to not be raking as much cash as I thought it would is The Fighter which is still under $50 Mil. Not bad, but I thought it would be closer to these other movies by now. It's a pretty good family flick actually. It has a lot of cussing in it, but for the older kids it is a good show with some good action and laughs.
