"Avatar" hits $352 million at box office
LOS ANGELES - "Avatar" crushed its rivals at the New Year holiday weekend box office in North America and was poised to challenge "The Dark Knight" as the second-biggest movie ever, according to data released on Sunday. James Cameron's 3-D sci-fi epic earned $68.3 million in the three days beginning Friday, setting a record for a film in its third weekend of release, distributor 20th Century Fox said. The old mark of $45 million was set by "Spider-Man" in 2002.
Singer Van Morrison denies baby report
DUBLIN/LOS ANGELES - Singer Van Morrison on Thursday denied that he had fathered a child with his manager, saying a widely reported statement that appeared on his website three days ago was the result of a hacking attack. Irish state broadcaster RTE published a statement signed by the publicity-shy blues and R&B singer-songwriter that says a birth announcement on his website on Monday was "completely and utterly without foundation."
Theater owners name Sandra Bullock 2009's top star
LOS ANGELES - In the eyes of U.S. movie theater owners, Sandra Bullock shined as 2009's top Hollywood star at the box office, as the actress nicknamed "America's Sweetheart" scored with audiences after a two-year absence from screens. Quigley Publishing Company's annual list released on Thursday of top money making stars, based on a poll of hundreds of theater executives, had Bullock beat out such stars as George Clooney and Denzel Washington, on the strength of her roles in "The Proposal" and "The Blind Side."
A Minute With: Bryce Dallas Howard in "Teardrop"
LOS ANGELES - After starring opposite giant robots in the action movie "Terminator: Salvation," Bryce Dallas Howard plays a debutante in 1920s Memphis in the film drama "The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond." Based on an original Tennessee Williams screenplay, the independent film opens on Friday in major U.S. cities before expanding across the United States January 8.
U2 tour tops annual rankings in North America
LOS ANGELES - U2 may have suffered disappointing sales for their new album, but the Irish rockers were easily the most popular draw on the North American concert circuit this year, according to data issued on Wednesday. The band sold $123 million worth of tickets to its stadium tour, while Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band came in second with $94.5 million, said trade publication Pollstar.
Regis Philbin returns to "Live" in January

Ke$ha sets female download record in U.S.
NEW YORK - In what is traditionally a high-volume download week thanks to shiny new MP3 players under the tree and download cards stuffed in stockings, a digital sales mark has fallen by the wayside. Rookie pop singer Ke$ha's "TiK ToK" shifted 610,000 digital tracks for the week ending December 27, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That's the highest weekly sum by a female artist since tracking began in 2003, and the second-best overall after Flo Rida's "Right Round" sold 636,000 this past February. Coincidentally, Ke$ha was an uncredited singer on the track.
"Hangover" tops "District 9" on DVD sales chart
LOS ANGELES - The year is ending with quite a "hangover." The biggest R-rated comedy in Hollywood history, "The Hangover," hung on to the No. 1 spot on the national home video sales chart for the second consecutive week. The film, with box office sales of $277 million, beat back a stiff challenge from high-profile newcomer "District 9."
Fox, Time Warner Cable reach deal to avoid blackout
NEW YORK - Time Warner Cable and Fox have reached a deal to keep carrying Fox Networks programing after the companies negotiated through New Year's Day to avoid a blackout of TV shows like "The Simpsons" and college and NFL football games in 13 million U.S. homes. The No. 2 U.S. cable carrier and Fox, a News Corp unit, announced the deal late on Friday after an 11th-hour contract extension following months of negotiations that failed to produce a deal ahead of December 31 deadline.
