Zombieland Conquers US

Woody Harrelson vehicle dethrones Meatballs in debut weekend

(NEWSER) - Zombieland raked in $25 million to dominate the box office in its debut weekend, easily dethroning Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, which had held the top spot the previous two weekends. The R-rated comic horror movie starring Woody Harrelson drew an overwhelmingly young audience, with 56% under 25, Variety reports. Director Drew Barrymore's Whip It disappointed, taking in just $4.85 million and tying for sixth place with Michael Moore's Capitalism: A Love Story. The top five: More»

Amanda Knox Makes Maxim 's Hot 100

No. 1 spot goes to Bar Refaeli

(NEWSER) - Bar Refaeli is No. 1 on this year's Maxim Hot 100 , but No. 92 is arguably more interesting: It's Foxy Knoxy herself, Amanda Knox. She's probably the most controversial entry, but the list also contains a cartoon character (Family Guy's Lois Griffin) and a man (Stephen Colbert, whose fans apparently staged a write-in campaign). Side note: Kim Kardashian didn't make it on Maxim's list, but she was voted "Hottest Woman in the World" by Zoo magazine ... which, sadly, is not actually a magazine about zoo animals. See that cover here . Maxim's top 10: More»

Sarandon: Gov't Tapped My Phone

Actress says she's been 'under surveillance'

(NEWSER) - Susan Sarandon says she's had her phone tapped by the government, she revealed at a Tribeca Film Festival forum with Michael Moore yesterday. "We know we were under surveillance," Sarandon said during the audience Q&A. "I’ve had my phone tapped," she added, claiming that two Freedom of Information Act requests revealed the information. In addition, "I was denied a security clearance to go to the White House and I don’t know why. Do you know why?" More»

Megan Fox: I Wouldn't Trade Places With an Ugly Girl

Possibly-pregnant star dishes to French magazine

(NEWSER) - Sometimes celebrities are just like us ; other times, they most decidedly are not . This is definitely an example of the latter: Megan Fox, who has quite possibly never had a moment of insecurity in her entire life, recently told French magazine Jalouse that she's completely aware of her own good looks, the New York Daily News reports. "I live well with my image. I cannot complain," she said. "I would not trade my place with an unattractive girl." Of course, she also insisted she's not vain. (But she might be pregnant… ) More»

Expecting first baby with Brian Austin Green

(NEWSER) - Megan Fox will be a mom soon, if anonymous sources and Star magazine are to be believed. The 25-year-old is expecting her first child with hubby Brian Austin Green, who already has a 10-year-old son, sources tell the tabloid in a story picked up by Radar . The pregnancy was unexpected, but the couple is "incredibly excited," a source says. The mom-to-be "has really grown in the past couple of years. Megan used to only be concerned with her career, but now family comes first." More»
