This ‘Meet The Spartans” Movie Trailer…

… made me fall out of my chair due to fits of laughter! OMG! When he kicks a partially-shaved-head-singing Britney into the pit, I was so done because I know a lot of you love muffins really want to do just that!

Will Smith Becomes A ‘Legend’ At Box Office!

As you know one of my quintessential future baby daddies, actor Will Smith returned to theaters on Friday with I Am Legend, a sci-fi thriller in which he plays the last man left on Earth after a man-made virus has wiped out everyone else. Box office sources expect the Warner Bros. release to open above $80 million for the three-day weekend ($29.6 million just on Friday), effortlessly taking the crown from Nicole Kidman’s The Golden Compass, which topped the field last weekend with a disappointing $26 million. The film’s take is good enough for the biggest December opening ever. Will was last in theaters with The Pursuit of Happyness, which kicked off with $26.5 million in December 2006.

“Will is a four-quadrant star,” said Dan Fellman, the studio’s president of domestic theatrical distribution, touting solid film-anticipation ratings among both genders, young and old.

Well let me just say that I saw I Am Legend on Friday and my F.B.D. carried that film all by himself delivering a super duper splendid performance that in my opinion is Oscar-worthy.

Favorite quote from I Am Legend: the light in darkness.

In Case You Missed It: New Sex In The City (2008) Trailer!

Can you believe that the filming of the new Sex and the City movie wrapped less than a week ago and New Line Cinema has already created a trailer for it! I can’t wait!

The Opening Of Dirty Laundry!

Our good friends behind “Dirty Laundry” gave us a little scoop on the movie that we wanted to share. Starring Rockmond Dunbar, Loretta Devine, Terri Vaughn, Sommore and our girl Jenifer Lewis, “Dirty Laundry” opens in New York and LA this coming Friday. Rockmond plays a gay man a flourishing career who finds things coming to a standstill when a 10 year old boy shows up at his front door, claiming to be his son. It’s directed by Maurice Jamal, last year’s winner of the American Black Film Festival, who also plays a pivotal role in the film. His next project will be the film adaptation of James Earl Hardy’s “B-Boy Blues”. Check out a few clips from “Dirty Laundry” HERE.

Concert DVD’s: Just In Time For The Holidays!

I went to best buy today to do a little looking around and stumbled upon three great little DVDs so I thought I would share. Some of the most lucrative tours in the past two years are all coming to DVD at the same time and I’m loving it. If you need something to drown out the noise of fighting relatives or if you just want a soundtrack as you drift into a post-Thanksgiving coma, this will definitely do the trick. Justin Timberlake, Mariah Carey, and Beyonce are here to spice up your holiday weekend. Enjoy love muffins!

If you had the chance to see any or all three of these tours, let me know what you thought of them and which one was better/more entertaining!

Beowulf Dominates The Box Office!

Angelina Jolie’s computer-animated movie Beowulf which features Jolie, 32, appearing in a simulated nude scene shelled in $28.1 million, claiming the No. 1 box office spot. (Almost half the ticket sales came from 3-D theaters.) This is exactly the box office success that Angelina needed due to her last big screen venture, June’s A Mighty Heart, being a super duper flop.

The weekend top five:

1. Beowulf: $28.1 million
2. Bee Movie: $14.3 million
3. American Gangster: $13.2 million
4. Fred Claus: $12 million
5. Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium: $10 million
