Planet Of the Apes Still #1

The Apes still rule the box office. In its second weekend, Rise of the Planet of the Apes remained on top of the box office, taking in an estimated $27.5 million.

Even thought this amounts to only about 50 percent of what it earned during its opening weekend, the film still beat out all other movies to retain its #1 spot.

A surprising no. 2 film of the weekend was The Help, with an estimated $25.5 million in sales. Early predictions estimated that the movie would open around $18 million, but positive word-of-mouth generated after its Wednesday opening helped in the weekend sales of the movie.


Here is the list of the top 10 movies:

1. ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes,’ $27.5 million, $104.9 million total
2. ‘The Help,’ $25.5 million, $35.4 million
3. ‘Final Destination 5,’ $18.4 million, new release
4. ‘The Smurfs,’ $13.5 million, $101.5 million
5. ’30 Minutes or Less,’ $13.0 million, new release
6. ‘Cowboys & Aliens,’ $7.6 million, $81.5 million
7. ‘Captain America: The First Avenger,’ $7.1 million, $156.9 million
8. ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love,’ $6.93 million, $55.4 million
9. ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2,’ $6.88 million, $357.0 million
10. ‘The Change-Up,’ $6.2 million, $25.8 million

Patrick Schwarzenegger Transforms Into Hudson Jeans Model

All we had heard about Patrick Schwarzenegger, the business-minded son of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger until recently is that he has been spending his summer working hard as an intern at The Grove–a popular shopping center in Los Angeles–so that he could learn about the business of hotel management.

But wait! That’s not all. Unbeknownst to us all, Patrick has been playing model under cover this whole time. The 17-year old hottie, if I can call this teen that without getting in too much trouble, can now be seen on a giant billboard on Hollywood’s Sunset Boulevard, one of the most famous streets in the world, pimpin Hudson Jeans. 
Did I mention Patrick is shirtless as well which is ironic since he created his own clothing company, Project 360, consisting of a collection of t-shirts, hoodies in addition to sweats and jewelry. Patrick started the line as a vehicle to generate social awareness of important global issues such as Alzheimer’s Disease, cancer and children in need. Cool kid, huh?
Patrick recently Tweeted that he is heading to college soon. His choices? “Stanford, USC, Penn [and] Georgetown are my tops for now.” He is striking Harvard off of his list, saying “Great college, but I’m not adding it to the list.” I’d think this talented guy could get into any school he wants…

Hilary Duff Is Pregnant!

Hilary wrote on her official website: “Hello everyone! This weekend, Mike and I are celebrating our one year anniversary! In memory of the special day, we decided to post some of our favorite pictures from our wedding! I can’t believe it has already been a year, time really flies when you’re having fun! We also want to share the exciting news that BABY MAKES THREE!!! We are extremely happy and ready to start this new chapter of our lives. Thanks to everyone for the continued love and support throughout the years!” 
Hilary had just said back in October that she is in no rush to start a family. “Mike has a huge family and we have four dogs, we’re excited but we’ve only been married 6 or 7 weeks. Plus he’s away all the time. Maybve when he is done.” 
Congrats to the happy couple.

Kristin Stewart: “I F’in Love Me A Vampire”

Yes, you are seeing correctly. That is the usually low key and grungy looking Kristen Stewart, looking all glam on the cover of W Magazine’s September issue.

See what a bit of Hollywood smoke and mirrors can do for you? In the accompanying interview, Kristen opens up about the upcoming Breaking Dawn film and the much anticipated wedding scene in particular.

Here are some excerpts of what Kristen had to say:

On being attracted to Twilight
“I f—— love me a vampire [Laughs]. I was 17 when I read Twilight, and at the time it was so perfect for me. The script was about young kids who think they can handle stuff that they just can’t. And they’re going to do it anyway. Because, why not? Just torture yourself. I relate to that. Vampires are a little dangerous – and we girls like to test ourselves.”

On the much-anticipated wedding scene: 
“Awesome. This was my first wedding. It was insane. And odd. The wedding dress experience was a huge deal. I tried on one version of the dress, and it was like tweak and tweak and alter and tweak and change, and then it’s done. BFD dress. Huge deal.” 

On whether she watches herself onscreen: 
“It’s not like I sit around watching my movies again and again, but I’ve never quite believed actors when they say they don’t watch themselves. I hear them going around the block to make excuses for why they don’t watch their work. It’s bulls—. Sorry, guys – I know you watch your stuff.”

SPOILER RESULTS: Who Is New HOH On Big Brother 8/11

Big Brother 13 did not show the HOH competition on its August 11, 2011 show, but if you want to know SPOILER RESULTS of who won and is the current head of household, keep reading.

Right after Lawon was evicted and Brendon re-entered the Big Brother house, all looked great for the Rachel, Brendon, Jeff, and Jordan alliance. Yet somehow with all of these powerhouses at play, it was Daniele who ended up winning the HOH.

The girl is nothing short of invincible.

VIDEO: Big Brother’s Lawon Gives His Exit Interview

In an unprecedented, and what some call the dumbest move ever, Lawon basically evicted himself from Big Brother 13 in the hopes that he would come right back with special powers.

Well, there were no special powers and when he lost the That’s How We Roll twist competition against Brendon, Lawon was evicted before making the jury house.

In his exit interview, Lawon tells Julie Chen that by bringing Brendon back into the game, they just dropped a big nuclear explosion upon the houseguests. Lawon said he had a realization last night that he had made a mistake, but it was too late to save himself.

Watch Lawon’s extended exit interview video with Julie Chen below:

Here is my EXCLUSIVE interview (part 1) with Lawon where he dishes on all things Big Brother:

My interview with Lawon, Part 2

Big Brother RECAP: Who Was Evicted And Who Came Back In The House On 8/11?

Big Brother 13 Thursday August 11, 2011 episode was full of answers! Who won America’s Choice and who came back to the BB house? Who got evicted? Was Rachel evicted or did Lawon leave? Who won HOH? KEEP READING FOR A FULL SHOW RECAP.

Rachel and Lawon are nominated for eviction but for some reason, Lawon volunteered that he be voted off thinking there will be some twists again and he will come back with super powers.

RECAP:
9:05 PM At the start of the episode, Julie Chen says Lawon volunteered to be evicted so he can come back with a special power. But “what Lawon does not know, is that there is no special power.” Live audience chuckles! Julie say mockingly, “I know.”

Lawon is seen in the Diary Room boasting about making the “boldest” move in BB history. He says he is 99% sure he is coming back with a special power. Oh Poor delusional Lawon.


THE HOUSE REACTS TO KALIA’S REPLACEMENT NOMINATION OF LAWON


Jeff says in the Diary Room that either Kalia is super intellingent and Jeff can’t figure out what her plan is, or she is an idiot for nominating someone from her own alliance for eviction and helping the Jeff/Jordan/Rachel/others alliance. Oh Jeff, you know the answer. Next to what Lawon did, Kalia’s nomination is the second dumbest move ever made on Big Brother. Marcellas Reynolds is somewhere laughing that he will no longer have to own this crown of dumbest BB move…


9:07 Lawon “puts on his acting skills” and “puts on the performance of a lifetime” and pretends that he is pissed at being nominated so the houseguests don’t think he and Kalia are close. But Shelly figures out that Lawon is acting strange and when she confronts him in general, he specifically denies having “volunteered” to go up for eviction. Obviously, Shelly says in Diary Room, “I didn’t ask him if he volunteered, so, what’s this new piece of the puzzle?” So, Shelly went and interrogated Lawon who kept insisting that he was blindsided by the nomination. Shelly didn’t believe him and wanted to get to the bottom of it. Shelly asked Kalia if he volunteered and Kalia said yes and went back to sleep.

Shelly reported her findings to Jeff and Jordan.

Rachel thinks it’s a miracle that Kalia nominated Lawon next to her and said “I don’t even think Lawon knew he was in this house until he was nominated.” This follows Rachel having said, “I don’t even think Lawon knows he was nominated for eviction, I think he thinks he’s just sitting in a comfortable chair.” Love or hate Rachel, you got to admit, she has some great lines.


9:11 Jeff says he doesn’t care how crazy Lawon acts, the vets have the votes to kick him out.

RACHEL MAKES A DEAL WITH KALIA AND DANIELE..OR DOES SHE?

9:12 PM Rachel meets with Kalia to keep herself safe. She kept her cool which is shocking and told them she has two votes to stay and needs one more vote to stay. Kalia told her they have the votes to decide the outcome and said they would call a truce if Rachel promised that she would not come after them if she stayed in the house. Rachel promised that she will target floaters and not Kalia and Daniele if she stays in the house. They made a deal and Kalia told Rachel not to tell rest of house about the deal or she will be evicted.


9:14 Rachel tells the other vets about her meeting with Kalia and Daniele but denies them offering her a deal. She said it felt that they were threatening her to work with them if they keep her; saying that they’re saying she will owe them if she stays. It’s a smart play by Rachel so word doesn’t get back to Kalia and Daniele that she spilled the beans. Rachel still plans on going after Daniele and Kalia.


9:16 Shelly tells Daniele that Rachel is acting like she has the votes, making it look like she has a deal with them–this pissed Daniele off since she had asked Rachel to keep her mouth shut. Obviously Shelly was not telling the truth. She wanted to stir things up to get more info out of Daniele. Shelly questions if there is a deal with Kalia and Daniele with Rachel and Daniele says no. Daniele says she’s confused as to who to vote for: The one that needs to be locked up or the one that will kill her in her sleep.  Daniele tells Kalia and Kalia is pissed too.

9:17 Daniele and Kalia still don’t know who they should vote out. DUH!


9:24 VIDEO: Old footage from BB 12 is shown with Ragan talking smack about Rachel! But since the show ended, the two have become great friends, work out together and he will be in Brenchel’s wedding! Matt joins in for the playful Rachel bashing. Ragan says Rachel is like the killer in a slasher movie: you can kill her, decapitate her, you can set her body on fire but she always comes back for one more scare.

KALIA IN HOH ROOM
Kalia in in the HOH room – She tells Julie that her biggest HOH challenge was dealing with the twist. She said she wanted Rachel out of the house and the possibility of her coming back confused her. She also says she has no regrets on any decisions she has made but if Lawon leaves and doesn’t come back she will feel responsible. She says she misses her initial friendship with Jeff and Jordan no matter how much she loves Daniele now.

LIVE EVICTION VOTING 
SPEECHES: Rachel, wearing a “I heart my hubby” shirt, thanked her family and BB13 for the experience. “Remember it’s twist week guys!”
Lawon says this has been a great summer for him and he has fallen in love with everyone. Lawon said, “There is a twist this week and whatever happens, happens. Do you!”

  • Jordan votes to evict Lawon
  • Jeff votes to evict Lawon
  • Porsche votes to evict Lawon – a boo is heard from live audience.
  • Daniele votes to evict Lawon and says “I am gonna regret this!” A cheer is heard in live audience.
  • Shelly votes to evict Lawon
  • Adam votes to evict Lawon
By a vote of 6-0 , Lawon is evicted.

AMERICA’S CHOICE
BUT WAIT! Julie tells Lawon to have a seat! And she tells the houseguests about America’s Choice! And tells Lawon he will have a chance to come back into the BB house by battling the winner of America’s Choice. When Julie reads the names of the four evicted houseguests, Daniele claps in joy, probably sure of herself that America would of course only vote back in her boy toy, Dominic. Rachel is seen with her mouth dropped wide open as realization sets in that she may see Brendon walk through the door.

We then switch to the backyard where Keith, Cassi, Dominic and Brendon, who have been sequestered since their eviction, are anxiously waiting. Keith learns for the first time who was evicted after him and says he can’t believe to see Brendon standing there. Cassi says the same thing about Brendon. Dom offered his first born child and his brother as an indentured servant to get back in the house. Julie tells them that Rachel and Lawon were nomintaed for eviction and that Lawon was evicted. Brendon is shocked. But pumps his fist in victory.

THE TWO FINALISTS for America’s Choice are Brendon and Dominic, one of which will fight Lawon to get back in the house!!! Julie tells us that over 2 million votes were cast and it was a very close vote! We see Rachel and Jordan holding hands. Shelly is seen happy.

AMERICA’s CHOICE TO BATTLE LAWON IS: BRENDON!!!

“That’s How We Roll” is the name of the twist competition between Brendon and Lawon. They each had to find, then roll a complete set of balls, each with the name of all 14 houseguests among 150 balls, into a specific hole. Rachel cheered on Brendon and instructed him on how to play. Jordan had her eyes closed she was so nervous. Once Brendon finished, everyone tried to help Lawon even though it was obvious he could not finish in time and that Brendon had clearly won. Rachel jumped on Brendon when it was all over and he had won. I can only imagine how happy the two are right now. Daniele looked like she was deep in thought and regret.
