Jennifer Aniston is top dog at the box office. Her flick, Marley & Me, earned $24.1 million over the weekend, making it No. 1 for the second week in a row. The doggy drama, which set a Christmas Day opening record, has made $106.5 million so far.
Adam Sandler‘s Bedtime Stories came in second spot, earning $20.3 million. Read the full story at USmagazine.com
This is not terribly surprising, considering Jennifer Aniston’s film looks fun and exciting (I hear there is a topless pool scene), while Brad Pitt‘s movie looks dull and boring. If I were taking a date to a movie, I wouldn’t see “Button”, but would definitely check out Aniston’s flick. Think about it… which one gives you the better opportunity to score after the movie?
Still, Pitt nearly equaled Aniston’s total w/ a $18.4 million haul during the same time period. Not too bad for such an “aged” looking movie. (pardon the pun) And no, I haven’t seen either movie. Will wait until they come out on DVD before wasting my greenbacks.
The winner from this weekend, however, looks to be Adam Sandler, who’s kids movie topped $20 million.
Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt to Have Twins

In an interview w/ the Today Show on Wednesday, actress and mother, Angelina Jolie confirmed that she is having twin babies w/ fellow actor Brad Pitt. The pregnancy is only the 2nd for Jolie (both w/ Brad), but the couple will have 5 children after the birth (3 of their own & 2 adopted).
The news originally slipped courtesy of her Kung-Fu Panda co-star, Jack Black, who referenced “multiple babies” during their promotion interview. Jolie and Black’s exchange was quite comical, as she confirmed that he leaked the info (kinda):
“You’re gonna have as many as (the) ‘Brady Bunch’ when you have these,” Black joked.
“It’s confirmed? Is it two?” Morales asked.
“Yeah, yeah, we’ve confirmed that already,” Jolie responded. “Well, Jack’s just confirmed it actually.”
“Is that true?” Black said jokingly.
“Yeah, you did,” Jolie replied.
“Sorry,” Black concluded.
Now that the rumors have been confirmed, the follow-up question was presented to find out if the babies would be boys or girls. Of course, Angelina preferred not to answer that question – this will surely lead to more speculation and media hype surrounding the pregnancy (good strategy IMHO).
Kung-Fu Panda opens on June 6th nationally. The movie is a story about a panda that learns martial arts, and along w/ his other furry buddies, battles enemies in a somewhat comedic format. The film co-stars Jackie Chan, Dustin Hoffman and is a Dreamworks picture.
