"Iron Man 2" opens big at international box office
LOS ANGELES - A week before the summer movie season officially launches in North America, superhero film "Iron Man 2" got off to a flying start overseas with an international debut of $100.2 million, according to box office estimates issued Sunday. "Iron Man 2" will open Friday in the United States and Canada, a market that this past weekend saw horror film remake "A Nightmare on Elm Street" take No. 1 with $32.2 million.
Conan O'Brien says has no regrets in Leno debacle
LOS ANGELES - Comedian Conan O'Brien says he has no regrets on any of his decisions in January when NBC pulled the plug on his short-lived stint as host of "The Tonight Show" and installed Jay Leno in his place. In a second set of transcripts from his interview with television news program "60 Minutes" -- O'Brien's first talk with a reporter since leaving the "Tonight Show" -- the comic said he is "mostly very happy" right now.
Willie Nelson has more country tunes in the works
NEW YORK - Willie Nelson's "Country Music" album just arrived, but he's planning more country music in the very near future. Nelson has been in the studio with producer James Stroud, working on songs that he says "take up where the 'Country Music' album" -- an acoustic set produced by T Bone Burnett -- "left off, and then it went into the different sounds of drums and arrangements and more blending rock and country together. I think it's a natural evolution."
Lindsay Lohan defends gun photo as "art"
LOS ANGELES - Lindsay Lohan on Thursday defended as "art" a photo of herself holding a gun to her mouth that sparked alarm about the former A-list actress whose life and career have spiraled downward in recent years.

"Family Guy" creator says Arizona law like Nazi Germany

New film captures waning heyday of Chicago trading pits
CHICAGO - The loud, colorful traders who jostle for deals in Chicago's famed open-outcry pits now face an even greater threat than the advent of electronic dealing systems -- the algorithmic trade, says the director of a new documentary charting the demise of floor trading. More a living funeral than a eulogy, the film "Floored" that debuted on Friday recounts the transition from the bustling salad days of burly alpha males to a market dominated by faceless computer-based traders across the globe.
Spielberg, Scorsese, others call for Panahi release
LOS ANGELES - A group of film industry luminaries, including Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola, on Friday called on the Iranian government to release jailed director Jafar Panahi. In a petition signed by filmmakers and actors such as Robert De Niro and Robert Redford, the group denounced the March arrest of Panahi, whose movies include "The White Balloon" and "The Circle."
J.D. Salinger copyright case to be reconsidered
NEW YORK - A lawsuit blocking publication of a purported "sequel" to J.D. Salinger's classic novel "The Catcher in the Rye" will be reconsidered in federal court, but Salinger's trustees are likely to prevail, an appeals court ruled Friday. The unauthorized spin-off, "60 Years Later: Coming through the Rye," was barred from publication in the United States after Salinger -- who died in January at age 91 -- last year sued its Swedish author Fredrik Colting, who writes under the name J.D. California.
Neil Innes: And now for something completely different
NEW YORK - Neil Innes, sporting a black beret with a bathtub rubber ducky on the top, is standing on the stage of a 42nd St. blues club thumbing his nose. The whole audience is making the same gesture and blowing raspberries back at him.
