Weekend Box Office
November 28 – 30, 2008
Parenthesis indicates total box office take since opening.
Jennifer Lopez might have fallen off the top of the stratosphere since getting married to Marc Anthony and having fraternal twin babies (Emme Marbiel Muñiz, and Maximilian “Max” David Muñiz), but J-Lo has her groove back and is looking rather prime in these newly obtained photos taken on Black Friday in Los Angeles.

Russell Crowe would surely admit he is not at his athletic best these days. The actor, who played a decently chiseled boxer in Cinderella Man, went for a bike ride Sunday in Los Angeles.
The title to this post might be a bit harsh, but it’s not that far off base. Hopefully, Crowe is on the bicycle trying to shed pounds from his last project, State of Play.
If that is Crowe’s trainer behind him then perhaps the problem has been identified.

Actress Kristen Stewart had such a stressful week with the #1 opening of the hit vampire film Twilight that she had to find some weed to de-stress her from the huge fame and stardom that comes from being a Hollywood star at the age of 18.
Next up for Stewart? A national Doritos commercial!
New York Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress, in a true-to-life Barney Fife moment, shot himself accidentally in the leg while clubbing at the Latin Quarter nightclub in NYC.
The incident happened at the Latin Quarter nightclub on Manhattan’s East Side. The club is a sprawling 15,000-square foot, two-story restaurant and club located in the Radisson Lexington Hotel. Katia Laine, a manager at the hotel, told The Associated Press that police officers had been to the club.
Burress went to the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan, where he stayed overnight. He was released from the hospital Saturday afternoon.
A league official told Paolantonio the bullet went through the skin and muscle tissue of Burress’ right thigh, and did not hit any major arteries, and there were no broken bones.
Plaxico has been a bit of trouble throughout his career and especially since the Giants wont the Super Bowl back in January against the New England Patriots.
He had a great year last year and got a new contract for his play. He has been suspended and injured throughout most of this season. Now he can add shooting himself in the foot (leg) to the growing list.
The shooting will for sure go down as one of the dumbest jock moves of all-time.
Plaxico or Plexico both translate to idiot!
Hot mixed martial arts fighters, Gina Carano and Tonya Evinger might be enemies when it comes to serious competition but they seem to be pretty good “close” friends when it comes to party.
You might know Gina Carano from appearing on American Gladiators as the Gladiator “Crush” and she is best known as the face of women’s MMA. Gina fought on the September 15, 2007, Showtime EliteXC card, where she defeated Tonya Evinger via rear naked choke for her first career win by submission.
Recently Gina and Tonya have been playing submission in other more fun ways. They sure seem like they are all over each other in these photos. Tonya made no secret of her interest for the opponent last year when she said: “I’d like to make out with Gina, but I am here to knock her out. Either way she wants it, though, is fine with me.”
HOT!! Lesbian! Fight!

ESPN is reporting that Lane Kiffin will likely be announced on Monday as the next head football coach of the University of Tennessee Volunteers. The announcement is being delayed until current head coach Phil Fulmer can coach his final game on Saturday against Kentucky.
Tennessee has reached an agreement with former Oakland Raiders coach Lane Kiffin to take over as the Volunteers’ next coach, with an announcement planned for Monday, barring any snags, according to multiple sources.
Kiffin, 33, will be making his college head coaching debut in succeeding Phillip Fulmer, who will coach his last game for the Vols on Saturday. Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton denied reports on Wednesday that Kiffin had been offered a contract. But Kiffin has been at the forefront of the Vols’ search for some time. Part of the holdup is that Tennessee didn’t want to do anything officially this week that would take away from Fulmer’s final game Saturday against Kentucky. Fulmer was fired by Hamilton on Nov. 2 and allowed to finish out the season. He’s been at Tennessee as a player, assistant coach and head coach for 35 years.
Lane very possibly might not be the only Kiffin coming to ‘The Hill.’ Papa Kiffin could become his son’s defensive coordinator.
One of the big draws with Kiffin was the staff that he’ll potentially be able to put together. He’s talked with his father, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, about joining him at Tennessee. The elder Kiffin is considered one of the foremost defensive minds in football.
I believe Kiffin is a good hire for the Vols. He will likely face a steep learning curve as a college head coach, especially in the SEC, but he seems to have the pedigree and experience to rise to the occassion.
Britney Spears made her stage comeback performing her hit single “Womanizer” at the 2008 Bambi Awards in Germany. Britney made a very interesting choice of outfit! I was wondering where I had seen it before… now I know! It looks exactly like the top hat and mesh-corset ensemble Madonna wears for her “Sticky & Sweet” tour.
So is Britney trying to copy Madonna?? Or are they both inspired by a circus theme, which made them wear similar outfits?? It doesn’t seem like Britney was completely unaware of the resemblance between both outfits, since she recently joined Madonna on stage… guess what Madonna was wearing (photos here>>)??

The Beckham clan (David Beckham, Victoria Beckham and their 3 kids, Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz) joined the Cruise clan (Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes, Suri Cruise and adopted siblings Isabella and Connor) for Thanksgiving Day. Probably the most powerful couples and respective offspring spent the day together enjoying a walk in Central Park and watching Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade.

A 34-year-old Wal-Mart overnight stock clerk was trampled to death this morning at at Wal-Mart in Long Island, New York. The man had been holding back the large crowd before they “bum-rushed” him as the store opened for ‘Black Friday.’
Witnesses said the surging throngs of shoppers knocked the man down. He fell and was stepped on. As he gasped for air, shoppers ran over and around him.
“He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. “They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too…I literally had to fight people off my back.”
The unidentified victim was rushed to an area hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 6:03 a.m., police said.
This is truly a sad and senseless story of greed and unruthfulness! It is truly a ‘Black Friday’ for the family and friends of this man who was just doing his job when death found him through a senseless stampede.
59-year-old Alan Scherr and his 13-year-old daughter Naomi were two Americans among the dozens killed during the past few days in the Mumbai killings in India.
The Scherrs were among 25 foundation participants in a spiritual program in Mumbai. Four others on the mission were injured in the cafe attack in the luxury Oberoi hotel, Garvey said, including two women from Tennessee.
Members of the New York-based Chabad-Lubavitch ultra-Orthodox Jewish movement were anxiously awaiting the names of victims at its local headquarters in Mumbai, which was one of 10 sites attacked.
There is likely to be more Americans reported dead as more information becomes available. Scherr had been a college professor.
Kerr’s two sons and wife Kia were not in India with Alan and Naomi.
The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is an annual event, started back in 1924, presented by Macy’s department store, well known for its giant balloons, that happens on Thanksgiving Day in New York City.
The big star of this year’s Macy’s parade was Miley Cyrus, who happily waved at the crowd and even had time to spend with some fans. It seems the singer/actress had a great time and then left to spend the rest of the day with her family and boyfriend Justin Gaston.
Other celebrities at the Macy’s 82nd Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade included: Harajuku Girls, Clique Girlz, David Archuleta, Miranda Cosgrove, Idina Menzel and Ashanti.
