Weekend Recap
Monday, July 21st, 2008What happened in celebrity news this weekend while you were at Target getting two bags of cheetos for $4? Quick, someone tell Brit! (I’m sorta’ kidding, of course.) Well, here’s a quick rundown:
Angelina Jolie finally took her twins home early Saturday morning. Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline joined their daddy Brad and four siblings at Chateau Miraval, where the Jolie-Pitts are still staying in the south of France. The countdown for the first twin sightings continue, of course.
Dark Knight shattered all sorts of box office records during the weekend, raking in $155.4 million. Rounding out the top three: Merryl Streep’s Mamma Mia came in second, garnering $27.6, and Will Smith’s Hancock is still hanging strong, earning $14 million.
It’s official - Shannen Doherty’s joining CW’s Beverly Hills 90210 spin-off. Good times for all Brenda Walsh fans (including moi). Shannen’s Brenda is now a famous theater director and she will be invited back to West Beverly High to direct a musical. Yes, yes, we’ll play along with that plot line, just as long as Shannen’s back.
Mini-Me’s got everything settled (almost)! Verne Troyer has settled his sex tape lawsuit against Sugar DVD and TMZ. Verne signed agreements with Sugar DVD’s Kevin Blatt agreeing to get his approval before selling or distributing the tape. Now for the almost settled part…he still has his ex to contend with. He has a lawsuit against Ranae Shrider scheduled today, hoping to prevent her from releasing the tape. Good luck, Verne!
Jessica Simpson had her first country show on Saturday at the Country Thunder USA festival in Randall, Wisconsin, where she opened for Sara Evans. The fans’ reactions? Well, she got a mixture of boos and cheers. It was a lukewarm reception, to say the least, but at least boyfriend Tony Romo was in the audience cheering her on. She even dedicated a song to him. Yeah, hold your gagging noise for later.
