In theaters, Ben Stiller continues his domination of starring in movies so dumb that people actually pay good money to see them as his Night at the Museum enjoyed it's second week in the top spot. Yes, that's not a typo, $117 million in just two weeks.
Unless we just say "no," he'll continue to make stuff like this. In completely related news, Will Smith joined the "Billionaire's Club" when The Pursuit of Happyness became the actor's tenth film to surpass the $100 million mark.
Green with envy, Daniel Radcliffe was heard to mumble under his breath, if only J.K. would keep writing, I too could reach such heights!
This weekend's top draw at the video store is the all hype and no substance Snakes on a Plane. Despite its crash-and-burn reputation at the box office, this movie will probably have legs that won't quit on DVD. Which is ironic, because you know, Snakes don't have appendages.
In a match made in the Bible, Snakes on a Plane will attempt to dethrone The Devil Wears Prada which recently celebrated its third consecutive week as the top renting DVD. Talk about selling your soul...
Just like gravity, what comes together in Hollywood usually ends in a messy prenuptial fight. This week is no exception as the big rumor flying around town is that Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz are moving to Splitzville.
Cameron was a no-show at pretty-boy Justin's Alpha Dog premiere this. But seriously, look at those Tat-by-Numbers tattoos (above) that he wears in the flick. I'd be ashamed to be seen in public with him too.
Lost hottie mommie Emilie de Ravin announced that she's ending her sixth month starter marriage this week. Six months? That's just the usual waiting period between Lost episodes.
In what will surely shock no-one, Dupree is going his own way. Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson are officially no longer an item. Considering that they spent so much time denying that there were any romantic sparks between them at all, this must mean that they're tying the knot next week.
Lindsay Lohan is going under this knife this week. No, she's not getting elective plastic surgery as you might think. The Get a Clue star is having her appendix removed. She also asked doctors to remove other organs she's not currently using while they were in there. You know like her spleen and her brain.
And in perhaps the most unsettling news of the week, it was reported that Chris Kattan got engaged to a model. Yes, a model.
Yes, Mr. Peepers is marrying a model.
Someone get me Lorne Michaels' number immediately. If I can just get on Saturday Night Live, then just maybe I'd have a shot with Natalie.
