Filed Under Movie News | Leave a Comment
The new adventure fanatsy, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, tops box office results taking in $58.1 million over opening weekend. The sequel to the “Fantastic Four” outperformed its predecessor, said Chris Aronson, senior vice president of distribution for Fox.
Dropping from the top spot to No. 2, with an estimated three-day gross of $19.1 million, was “Ocean’s Thirteen,” released by Time Warner Inc. unit Warner Bros. Pictures.
But the surprise of the weekend came in the form of Universal Pictures’ comedy “Knocked Up ” as it remained a strong No. 3 in this third week of distribution sending Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End down to the 4th spot.
“Knocked Up” will take in an estimated $14.5 million Friday-to-Sunday and has so far grossed $90.5 million, according to Paul Dergarabedian of Media by Numbers.

How on earth did Julia Roberts managed to keep her second pregnancy so private? No matter, the Pretty Woman actress gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Henry Daniel Moder. Henry was born Monday in Los Angeles.
Roberts, 39, and her husband, 38-year-old cinematographer Danny Moder, have 2-year-old twins, Hazel and Phinnaeus. The couple were married in July 2002 at Roberts’ home in Taos, N.M.
The actress confirmed in December that she was expecting baby No. 3, and that was all that was heard of it until now.

Isaiah Washington Fired From ‘Grey’s Anatomy’
Filed Under Celebrity Blunders | Leave a Comment
After weeks of speculation about Dr. Preston Burke’s future on Grey’s Anatomy, Isaiah Washington was finally fired from the show. This despite his many efforts to seriously apologize, even appearing in a PSA for gay group GLAAD.
Grey’s producer Shonda Rhimes called Washington late last week to inform the actor that the powers that be at ABC has decided to ‘let him go’. In a matter of days, his reaction came from “mad as hell” to “saddened”.
“I can only apologize so many times. I can only accept so much responsibility,” he told EW.com in an interview published Wednesday. “… Isaiah will go on and do what I love to do. And I have to go about the business of letting people know what’s written about me is not the truth.”
“We did everything that was asked of us” by ABC, said his publicist, Howard Bragman.
But Hollywood gay community may have felt Washington’s mischief cuts real deep and he has to become an example.
Now maybe he and Paris Hilton can be pals.

Filed Under Celebrity Blunders, Gossips | Leave a Comment
Paris Hilton was sent back to jail and ordered to serve her full sentence on Friday, a day after the sheriff granted her home imprisonment. Latest is the heiress will not appeal the case and is hoping “others will learn from my mistake.”
Now Paris claim jail has changed her a lot and she promises she will no longer ‘act dumb’ when she gets out.
The reality TV star and relentless publicity-seeker spoke with Barbara Walters by phone Sunday, a day after releasing a statement saying she hoped the media would focus on “more important things” than her 45-day jail sentence, according to ABC News’ Web site.
“I used to act dumb. … That act is no longer cute,” ABC quoted Hilton as saying.
Paris further added that she is changed by her jailhouse experience, and she repeated that theme with Walters: “Now, I would like to make a difference. … God has given me this new chance.”
And the Paris saga continues….

Paris Gets Out of Jail But Ordered Back In Court
Filed Under Celebrity Blunders, Gossips | Leave a Comment
We knew it was too good to be true! Convicted drunk driving socialite Paris Hilton was released from jail after only three days and will be completing her sentence under house arrest in her luxurious Spanish style villa in Beverly Hills.
Hilton will be under home confinement, wearing an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet, for the remaining 40 days of her sentence for violating probation in a reckless driving case.
The celebrity inmate was sent home from the L.A. County jail’s Lynwood lockup shortly after 2 a.m., a stunning reduction to a sentence that already had been cut from 45 to 23 days because of “good behavior.” Another two days were lopped off the original 45 since she checked in late Sunday and left early Thursday, earning credit for five days served.
Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore gave no information on the nature of Hilton’s medical condition and refused to answer questions about whether it was physical or psychological.
“I can’t specifically talk about the medical situation other than to say that yes, it played a part in this,” Whitmore said.
The move has outraged city officials, jail guards, fellow inmates and basically the whole nation that a judge is ordering Hilton to appear in court on Friday to determine if she should stay out of jail.
Responding to a motion filed by the city attorney’s office, which prosecuted Hilton, Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered Hilton to appear for a 9 a.m. hearing regarding her early release.
Apparently the city attorney’s office was not informed of the planned release which was accomplished early dawn to avoid being noticed by the media and prison workers. We smell something stinking!
