The Last Song Opening Weekend Results: Mediocre

April 4, 2010


Despite critical bashing of The Last Song, the first non-Hannah Montana movie to feature Miley Cyrus cracked the top five at the box office this weekend.

But the film only earned $16 million, not coming close to the top spot or even the number-three spot. Since it opened on Wednesday, the flick has garnered $25.6 million. See chart, below…

Box Office Results

While fake sources claim Miley thinks she should earn an Oscar for this role, and that her “ego is out of control,” Cyrus hasn’t actually responded publicly about her goals for the movie.

Still, it’s safe to assume she and producers were hoping for a better showing. Barely making half the box office as Why Did I Get Married Too? Really?!?

Cyrus has made it clear that her future is on the big screen, as opposed to television or in the recording studio. It’s too early to say how these results will affect those plans. But at least one thing came out of it: she met Liam Hemsworth.

Jessica Alba Makes Plans to Adopt


Jessica Alba isn’t the best actress on the planet.

But she appears to be a responsible, tremendous mother to daughter Honor Marie. Meanwhile, another child may soon be included in Alba and husband Cash Warren’s family.

In an interview prior to her appearance on tonight’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (in which she helps rebuild a home for a Texas foster family of 15), the actress said she’ll likely adopt in the near future.

“If you have the love, and the capacity to love children, you should just adopt. And I plan on doing it, ” she said, adding: “My mom grew up around a huge family, and they always wanted more kids, and I was like, ‘Why don’t you just adopt?’”

Looks like Alba will take her own advice. Below, she’s seen playing with Honor…

Paul Wesley: Totally Da Man!


On The Vampire Diaries, Damon (Ian Somerhalder) gets most of the juicy lines and a lot of the attention.

But Stefan (Paul Wesley) gets something even more important: the girl.

At least for now, Stefan and Elena (Nina Dobrev) are a serious, sexy item. After viewing the photos of Wesley from this month’s issue of Da Man magazine, though, we have a feeling Elena will have major competition for her boyfriend.

As teased on the cover below, the actor vamps it up for the publication. Sit back, take a close look at Wesley below and then ask yourself: Why aren’t I watching The Vampire Diaries again?!?

Michelle McGee Called a Dumb B!tch By Chelsea Handler, Bashes Talk Show Host’s Saggy Boobs


Jesse James mistress Michelle “Bombshell” McGee and celebrity gossip commentator Chelsea Handler are in the midst of an awesome feud. Here’s the rundown:

Handler wrote that “Michelle really believed that Sandra Bullock and Jesse James were separated and was ‘shocked’ to see them at the Oscars. I guess she doesn’t read magazines, which makes sense since she basically has one on her face.”

Good one. Offended by the tattoo joke, McGee then retorted on Facebook that Handler should “use some of that botox from your forehead and put it in your flabby underarm skin… I’ve seen better wings in a bucket of KFC chicken.”

Harsh. Handler then addressed those comments on Wednesday’s Chelsea Lately, wrinkling her forehead and quipping, “look at my forehead you dumb bitch!”

It gets better still.

Michelle McGee is no fan of Chelsea Handler lately or ever.

Michelle “Bombshell” McGee went on the offensive on Facebook, writing: “Dear Chelsea, glad to see my grandma’s old clothes put to good use in your wardrobe.” Oooh.

“Her mu-mu’s look AMAZING on you. P.S. You need to hire another midget to hold up those saggy boobies. All that breast feeding Chuy has really taken its toll.”

Chuy Bravo is Handler’s personal assistant who appears on her E! show.

That was a low blow. Your move, Chels. Make it a good one!

Michael Jackson Killed HIMSELF, Dr. Conrad Murray Will Argue in Court


We’ve been wondering ever since he was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the death of Michael Jackson how Dr. Conrad Murray would try to explain it away.

Now we know: He plans to argue that MJ did himself in.

Murray’s legal defense will hinge on the argument that the pop icon gave himself the fatal dose of Propofol, a hospital-grade anesthesia authorities say killed him.

The defense will argue how Michael Jackson was a long-time Propofol addict, and that “Michael liked to push it” via IV, to the point of going to extreme measures.

His argument will attempt to establish that Jackson’s own reckless behavior was the cause of his death, and refute that Murray covered up evidence in the case.

The doctor’s story of the Jackson death timeline is likely to play out as such:

Bad DocJackson, M.

What really happened June 25? Only Michael Jackson and Dr. Conrad Murray know for sure, and the latter has a markedly different version of events than the LAPD.

  • Around 10:50 a.m. on June 25, Dr. Conrad Murray gave Michael Jackson 25 mg of Propofol from a 20 ml bottle, which is only about 1/8 of the bottle.
  • The dose Dr. Murray administered would keep someone asleep for only 5-10 minutes, but the Propofol, along with Ativan and Versed already in MJ’s system, had a synergistic effect that put Jackson to sleep for a longer period.
  • For the next hour, Dr. Murray stayed in the room and was on the phone much of the time. He didn’t leave the room to make the calls because MJ liked activity in the room, regularly sleeping with the lights on and the TV blaring.
  • Around noon, Murray left the room for approximately two minutes to go to the bathroom. While he was gone, the defense believes Jackson suddenly woke up, frustrated he had spent nearly nine hours trying in vain to sleep.
  • The defense theory: MJ took the 20 ml bottle of Propofol, self-injected the remainder of it via IV and caused a massive overdose, stopping his heart.
  • Dr. Murray found Jackson with eyes open and pupils dilated, dropped the phone (he was speaking with girlfriend Nicole Alvarez) and performed CPR.

What do you think of this theory by Dr. Conrad Murray? Is it at all legitimate, or is he just grasping at whatever legal straws he can find at this point?

Happy Birthday, Jamie Lynn Spears!


Jamie Lynn Spears, America’s favorite unwed teen baby mama (sorry, Bristol Palin), is just a year away from no longer being a teen. Maddie Briann’s mom is 19 today!

The little sis of Britney Spears, who desperately needs a role model, has actually done the right thing and laid low, focusing on being a parent since she gave birth.

Maddie Briann was born in June 2008. She and baby daddy Casey Aldridge since split, but Jamie Lynn is going strong and setting a good example for teenagers.

As in, do not follow this example!
