Dear John has become the highest grossing flick over a Super Bowl weekend ever, bringing in more than $32.4 million. The film, starring that one dude from She’s the Man and that one chick from Jennifer’s Body, has beat many experts estimates over the weekend.

The flick had a huge Friday, making more than $13 million, while Avatar only made $6 million (impressively, only a -16% drop). The storms sweeping across the nation may have had an impact on the total grosses for both films, but given the huge lead Dear John creted on Friday, Avatar didn’t have a chance of catching up.

Nice to see sappy, romance novels can still be turned into high grossing films.

That gives you hope, Julia Roberts. That gives you hope.

‘Cause we all know your career needs a resurgance. What’s the last hit flick you had?? Exactly.

Jon Gosselin, you know that one dude who used to have a reality show about raising his 8 kids with his now ex-wife, has a new girlfriend and her name is Morgan….Captain Morgan.

Okay, so she’s not named after a bottle of alcohol, but she must be tipping that bottle if she is ACTUALLY okay with rolling over and finding Jon Gosselin next to her in bed.

According to some nosey ass people, Jon Gosselin met this 23 year-old Morgan last December at a party in Park City Utah. The two have been inseperable since, as the mystery woman followed Jon to New York City to ring in the new year together.

And it seems like Gosselin has turned over a new leaf and actually has become, wait for it, *GASP* a good boyfriend!

Sources say:

“He watches out for her. When she drank too much at the club, he made sure she drank water. He held her arm leaving the club so she wouldn’t stumble. He made sure no guys took advantage of her.”

Isn’t that his friggin’ job in the very beginning?? Come on now, you’re 33 years old and you’re just NOW figuring this out?! Oh and take this as you will, but these same sources are claiming that this Morgan comes from a very wealthy family.

Hmmm….OctoDad? Check. Male GoldDigger? Check.

Seems like Jon is working on his resume.

Shit, is that my money flying away?

Damn! What is this, $25M per whore? Wow! According to some reports surfacing today, Tiger Woods, you know that one dude who USED to be a respected golfer and family man, gave his wife $300M to forgive him for his “transgressions.”

Okay, I’m going to take this news with a grain of salt, so I don’t know if this is exactly true. But look, I don’t think they will be staying with one another any time soon. I am interested in knowing how much exactly she will get. Tiger Woods is worth $1 Billion, mind you. How tight is that pre-nup?

Is the pre-nup worthless now that infidelity is involved? My advice to Elin:

TAKE HALF! RUN WITH IT! FAST!  Haha, no I’m just kidding…

Take it all.

In a smart move by Vanity Fair, Tiger Woods, unknowingly probably, graced the cover of their newest issue due to hit stands this February.

“The Mystery of a Sports Superstar” is the name of the accompanying article which will feature never-before-seen pictures of the golfer. But let’s get back to the cover photo.

Tiger! Why the hell are your hair nipples curling? You look like you’re in jail. Your face? Ghostly. Your body? Creepy as fuck.

Seriously, I don’t know if you’re about to swing a golf club or murder me.

The song is a duet with singer Lenny Kravitz entitled, “Another Day.” This is probably one of many songs that Jackson has recorded over his lifetime that have not seen the light of day…that is until now.

Hell, if 2Pac and Biggie can make 8 albums each after they have both died, why can’t the King of Pop. So here’s what I predict will happen: the estate of Michael Jackson will find all these songs that have not yet been released and make a compilation CD and earn millions of dollars from the sales.

Watch it happen. It’s not a bad idea, either. I definitely would buy the album…only if the shit on it doesn’t sound like “This Is It.”

I’m sorry, ya’ll but that was some wack ass confusion of a song. “Another Day” sounds much better.

Take a listen for yourself above!

The colorful Lafayette, played excellently by Nelsan Ellis, has been missing out on all the play-play going on in Bon Temps, the town in which vampires, shifshapers, and crazy ass bitches run free.

(Although, I did hear a rumor, SPOILER, that Lafayette and Eric were supposed to get a little…close with one another. Hmm, we’ll see if that pans out.)

Reports show that latino actor, Kevin Alejandro, some dude who starred in Southland and other cancelled shows, has been cast as Lafayette boyfriend, who also takes care of Lafayette’s mother, played by Alfre Woodard (woot-woot!).

Should be interesting? What do you think of this piece of casting news? Good choice?

Door open for discussion.
