Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is on target to be the largest Wednesday midnight opening ever, with $20M in ticket sales. The record was previously held by Dark Knight with an $18M open. It's been two years since Harry Potter fans got their fix. Order of the Phoenix opened in 2007, also with a Wednesday midnight opening, and brought in $12M.
Did any of you go see it? Thoughts? Reviews?
UPDATE: Looks like it's more like $22M....
I'm highly suspicious of a couple, any couple, when one or both of them spend all their time talking about how much intercourse they have. I think people who are truly happy together don't have to constantly be telling everyone how truly happy they are. Will and Jada Smith are always talking about how they keep their marriage alive by doing it at their friends' houses and now Jada is back on the Too Damn Much Information plan, by talking about their pre-Oscar tryst with Shape magazine:
"W...
It looks like Renee Zellweger can start eating again! Bridget Jones 3is in the works, with filming expected to start at the end of the year. Whenever a Bridget Jones movie is released, the media talks about how much weight Zellweger gained for the role. Is it my imagination, or does "fat" Renee just look like a totally normal, healthy person? I'm curious to see if Zellweger ballooning to a size 10 puts the nail in the coffin of her new relationship with my ex-fiance Bradley Cooper. I don't know how he feels about ...
Yes, yes, I am aware how awful the photo on this post is, but at least it's authentic! After seeing the first episode of Comedy Central's new show Michael and Michael Have Issues (or MMHI) at the screening on Monday night in NYC, my sister Sierra decided to take a picture of Michael Ian Black's face as he was trying to exit the room. His response? "Wow, that wasn't obnoxious at all. You're tall. I'm not hitting on you, you're just tall." [Ed: Sierra is approximately 5'12"] We had a great time and really ...
Robert Redford and his long-time girlfriend -- are you really boyfriend and girlfriend when you are 71 years old and 51 years old, respectively? -- married over the weekend in Germany. The ceremony took place in Hamburg at the Louis C. Jacob Hotel with 30 guests in attendance.
Redford's new wife is Sibylle Szaggars, a German abstract artist with an international following, that he met in 1996. This is his second marriage. Robert was married for 27 years to film director Lola Van W...
Far be it for me to deny you all your beloved Daily Lohan feature. However, I might not be quite as complimentary as Beet is towards this greasy, patchy, overrated, underemployed cyclone. I'd like to take this moment to thank INFphoto for date stamping their pictures. Quite honestly, it's very difficult to keep track of which pictures are which when it's just Lindsay in leather boots and oily skin.
Today Lindsay headed to driving school. This is one of the smartest things that sh...
Heidi Klum was photographed leaving a New York hotel eating -- what else? -- an apple. Boy, if that were me it would have been a box of Limited Edition Shrek Twinkies clutched in my hand. But that's why Heidi Klum gains approximately eight pounds per pregnancy and I'm still working on losing baby weight after almost three years.
Anyway, she's looking healthy and great and might be the only woman I've ever seen who makes flip-flops look like a good idea. I expect her to be on the fr...
It looks like Deputy Riley and Gale Weathers are reuniting at least one more time for the fourth installation in the Scream franchise. Screenwriter Kevin Williamson is working on the script now and according to David Arquette, "hopefully Wes Craven is going to direct." Williamson has claimed that Neve Campbell has declined the chance to revive her role -- because she's busy with somany other projects -- but Arquette said "I hope Neve does it. I really hope so."
Really, much more surprising than the announcement of this newest sequel is the fact that I think ...
Kelly Clarkson appeared on Late Show with David Letterman last night wearing dark denim flare leg jeans, a floral tunic and horizontal stripe cardigan. Thoughts?
Do we just love Clarkson for her "I don't care" attitude or would it be nice to see her in some garment, any garment, with structure?...
Debbie Rowe's lawyers are in a tither over that New York Post article I talked about this morning regarding how Debbie Rowe was getting another $4M bucks to sign over her parental rights to Katherine Jackson. According to Rowe's attorney, Eric George, the claims are "completely false." They have asked NYP for a full retraction.
While we're pondering that, Rebecca, a supposed "close friend" of Debbie's ran to Extra and shared private emails sent between the two. Check these out:

Todd Holland is a three-time Emmy award winning director (The Larry Sanders Show and Malcolm in the Middle) who has built a successful Hollywood career over the past 25 years. However, despite his professional accomplishments, Holland had some advice for young gay actors when he spoke at L.A.'s Outfest this weekend. The director particpated as part of a discussion panel titled, "Taking It to the Streets: LGBT Directors Get Political."
