Thanksgiving is another popular movie holiday. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 (mouth full) opened last weekend at #1 and held onto it for the second straight week with a $50.3 million Thanksgiving weekend box office. This brings its two-week total to $220.4 million, according to studio estimates.
I still haven't seen it, and likely won't until DVD because I don't have any friends dorky enough to go to this movie in a theater...haha

From what I've read it sticks to the book better than any of the others, but if you have read the book you know what the complaints are. It's slow moving and not much happens. This is because the first half of DH is SLOW. It's still a great start, but it isn't exactly action packed. Quite a bit of growing up for Harry, Ron, and Hermione in the first half and dealing with being off on their own for the first time. A lot of whining and fighting with eachother. Still it is interesting to see them start to come together and get a little lucky in their quest to destroy the horcrux's.
Most say it is the best directed of the movies so far so I'm sure Part 2 is going to be incredible. The ending of the series is absolutely perfect so the movie should have some very emotional and action packed scenes.

Palin Kids a Class Act
This week we were all blessed (sarcasm alert) by the new Palin Reality series introduced on TLC called Sarah Palin's: Alaska. Most people you talk to that are somewhat normal will probably tell you the show is a joke, and many other things I'm sure. Suffice to say the Palin family is riding high and they are still media darlings.
Anyways, earlier this week some fellow was voicing his displeasure about the show on his Facebook page, only to be addressed by Williow and Bristol Palin directly. Not really taking it as constructive criticism they proceeded to call him a "f*gg*t".
That's some real htc desire right there.
After called out on it they decied to issue a public apology, but not really publicly. They issued an apology on FACEBOOK to the guy on their own page.
Normally I'd think something like this wasn't that big a deal. Just rather ignorant and something guys say to each other all the time who aren't actually "homophobes", but these guys are the daughters of a pseudo-politician. I'm sure it will all be forgotten and everyone will still vote for mom because she is "hot" and people are whateve...

"Haha your so gay. I have no idea who you are, But what I've seen pictures of, your disgusting ... My sister had a kid and is still hot."
Willow followed up that comment with another that read, "Tre stfu. Your such a f**got."

Ryan Reynolds is Sexiest Man Alive
and he is?
Apparently he is married to Scarlet Johansson. I don't follow dudes sorry. Scartlet was named the GQ "Babe of the Year" as well this year which makes them the hottest couple around I guess.
Their week has been all aces. Johansson has been named GQ's Babe of the Year and hosted "Saturday Night Live" for the third time. And Reynolds, whose "Green Lantern" trailer premiered on Tuesday, has just nabbed the coveted title of People's Sexiest Man Alive.
"My body naturally wants to look like Dick Van Dyke," the star told People. "When I stop training, I turn into a skin-colored whisper. ... You just have to go with the flow." Oh you poor guy. Let's get you some work doing apidexin reviews so you can keep the look.

Bill Clinton Making Cameos in Movies Now: Hangover 2
Bill Clinton has always been considered one of the "cooler" presidents. Many claim he was the first "black" president. He has had his share of negative media, but many still love him and thought he was a great president. After watching G.W. for 8 years Clinton looks like Abe Lincoln by comparison.
President Clinton shows up every once in a while for interviews and seems to be doing quite a lot to make the world a bit of a better place. At least appears to be involved in some good programs, although we have no idea. Well besides being a poster child for safe fat burners after his jog to McDonalds for a burger.
Anyways, it looks like Slick Willy will be making a cameo in the upcoming Hangover 2 movie. Bill Clinton was on location to shoot his cameo for The Hangover 2 in Bangkok, Thailand, but there’s no word on the details of the suave former president’s actual scene.

Harry Potter Still Huge
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is my favorite book of the series by far. It's one of the best journeys of the series to me. Their isolation from the magical community in the goal to save the world. Harry as just a 17 year old boy is tasked with killing the most menacing wizard in history.
The final book will be broken down into TWO movies it was so long. Even then the movie won't even come close to capturing all the magical moments of the book. Just like the rest haven't. At least Dobby will be in this in the correct form compared to him being replaced by Neville in the movies for a lot of his major moments.
Harry's unlikely friendships in the books is one of the most endearing aspects of his character to me. Friends with house elves, a werewolf, a half-giant, ghosts, centaurs, etc. makes him one of the most lovable characters ever. He could sell a car insurance rate to anyone.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was officially launched in London this week and will hit theaters tomorrow (Monday) at 6pm ET in New York City at Lincoln Square.

The Walking Dead Pilot Was Outstanding!
If you don't watch much cable television you may not have heard about a new show that features ZOMBIES. You probably did. IT has been advertised everywhere, and with a Halloween night premiere you had to have been ready for The Walking Dead pilot.
Created from a series of graphic novels, it is an hour long weekly show on AMC that probably has a few skeptics. How can they possibly have a show about a Zompie Apocalypse every week? If you are familiar with the novels you know exactly how they will, and you were pumped. All you needed was to see that the production values were going to be high, and the actors weren't horrible. Both passed.
Combine this show with Dexter on Sunday nights and you won't find more violence. This show is raw. There isn't anything hidden in the blood lust department. The opening scenes alone should have told you that this wasn't for the squeemish. Seeing a girl likely no older than 10 years old shot in the head in the first 10 minutes is disturbing.
OF course some will say it pulled from stories like 28 Days Later where a guy popped out of a hospital bed looking for anyone in nursing scrubs to give him a clue, and then wandered out in the streets to see it deserted. This show has way more going on than that, and if you can stomach the blood and gore, we may be lookign at another hit for AMC. It was the best pilot since Lost.

Courts to Joe Jackson: "LOL...You don't get jack."
If you have followed Michael Jackson at all in the past 20 years or so you probably remember that TV special a long time back where they showed the world how much of a jerk Joe Jackson was. How it looked as if he abused the hell out of his kids, and was driven to make them all start and make some serious money. As time went on it appears the family got their revenge. No money for you.
Joe had been fighting to have a say in how MJ's estate is administered -- despite the fact that he was excluded from the will Michael signed in 2002.
But today, a panel of judges reinforced the decision the probate court made back in November -- that Joe lacked the proper standing.
Just how Michael would've wanted it. Joe can look on with his bushnell binoculars and see everyone else enjoying MJ's money.

Sacha Cohen Harassing Gay Rights Activists and Getting Sued
The title says it all. You probably believe it before I even talk about it after seeing some of his movies. Apparently in 2008 while working on the movie "Bruno", Cohen made a little bit of a field trip. He is now accused of participating in an alleged attack on a gay cameraman at a gay marriage demonstration in Los Angeles back in 2008.
A photog named Mike Skiff -- a gay cameraman who covers "events involving the gay community" -- claims he was at a Prop 8 rally (some rally for acne scar removal cream I believe) in 2008 when a crew from Cohen's movie "Bruno" arrived on the scene with an intention to "promote violent discord between the assembled 'yes' and 'no' factions."
According to the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, members of the "Bruno" crew "carried 'Yes on Proposition 8' signs contrived for the sole purpose of inciting and sparking unrest to enhance the dramatic effect of what they may capture for their film."

Michael Jackson Estate Earning Around $275 Mil Last 12 Months
Celebrities rarely have the each that someone like MJ had, or still does if the money show it. With his death the last year MJ stuff is still pretty hot to the tune of over $275 million worth of earnings for his estate in the last 12 months.
Over the past year Lady Gaga, Beyoncé, Madonna and Jay-Z each each earned more than $50 million. But Michael Jackson earned more than all four--combined.
Fueled by a bonanza of interest following Jackson's death, his estate raked in $275 million over the past 12 months, by our estimates. That's more than enough to earn the King of Pop the top spot on our annual Dead Celebs list; in fact, it's more than the rest of the artists on the list put together, and more than any living artist or group. Nobody in the family will be doing how to lose belly fat infomercials anytime soon.

Randy and Evi Quaid Think They are Bonnie and Clyde?
Running from bills all over the U.S., the Quaids have taken their tour to Canada and are out on $10,000 bail for a burglary charge of living in a home illegally.
Canada's Immigration and Refugee Board just ruled on the Quaid's release, scheduled their next hearing -- for Thursday -- and slapped some strict travel rules on them ... such as reporting weekly to the Canada Border Services Agency if they leave the country.
Randy and Evi were arrested yesterday in Vancouver on outstanding warrants for a felony burglary arrest in Santa Barbara last month.
Sounds like they have more than a fat burner problem. More like a meth problem.
