3D cartoon "Megamind" animates box office
LOS ANGELES - "Megamind" led the North American box office to its best weekend in more than three months on Sunday, but the $47.7 million opening for the DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc release fell a little short of industry forecasts. Observers had predicted the 3D cartoon about a hapless supervillain would earn more than $50 million during its first three days of release across the United States and Canada. But the studio's March release "How to Train a Dragon" also underperformed initially before becoming a worldwide smash.
Ray Romano talks golf and being of a "Certain Age"
LOS ANGELES - Ray Romano has a stack of acting awards and a decent golf handicap. But for his TV show "Men of a Certain Age," playing a character who is worse at golf than Romano is, is where the real pressure lies, he says. Romano, 52, portrays good-natured and friendly guy, Joe, in the television show that mixes elements of drama and comedy. Joe once had dreams of being a professional golfer, but now owns and runs a party store.
Actress Jill Clayburgh dies at age 66
NEW YORK - Jill Clayburgh, the Oscar-nominated actress who specialized in roles as independent women emerging from the shadows of men, died on Friday at age 66, The New York Times reported. Clayburgh died at her Connecticut home from leukemia, which she had lived with for more than two decades, the Times said, citing her husband, playwright David Rabe.
Michael Jackson new album vocals genuine, Sony says
LOS ANGELES - Sony Music on Friday released a brief "teaser" of a new Michael Jackson single and insisted that the vocals on an upcoming new album were genuinely those of the late "Thriller" singer. But controversy over the December album release of "Michael" was stoked by a representative of Jackson's father Joe, who said the perfectionist performer would never have wanted his unfinished material to be released.
Bono's Spider-Man musical on Broadway delayed again
NEW YORK - Broadway's most expensive show in history has been delayed yet again. "Spider-Man Turn Off The Dark," the much anticipated show with music by U2 members Bono and The Edge, has delayed its official opening by three weeks from December until January, producers said on Friday.
MSNBC suspends Olbermann over political donations
NEW YORK - MSNBC suspended liberal television host Keith Olbermann indefinitely on Friday for giving money to three Democratic politicians, violating NBC News' policy against such donations without prior approval. Olbermann makes no pretense of being impartial but apparently was subject to ethics standards that apply to NBC News journalists.
Divas set to dominate MTV Europe Music Awards
LONDON - It could be the night of the diva in Madrid at the MTV Europe Awards on Sunday, with Lady Gaga and Katy Perry leading the field with five nominations apiece and "Desperate Housewives" star Eva Longoria hosting the event. The U.S. singers go head-to-head in four categories -- best pop act, best song, best female act and best video -- at one of the music industry's biggest annual showcases outside the United States.
Dark, euthanasia comedy wins Rome film festival
ROME - "Kill Me Please," a politically incorrect Belgian black comedy about euthanasia, won the top prize at the Rome film festival on Friday. The film, by director Olias Barco, follows an eccentric group of people wanting to die at a clinic run by a doctor whose mission is to organize the "perfect suicide," tailored to each of his clients' needs and motivations.
Aretha Franklin cancels all shows for six months
LOS ANGELES - Soul singer Aretha Franklin on Thursday canceled all of her appearances until next spring on the orders of doctors. Franklin, 68, the "Queen of Soul" who famously sang at President Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009, pulled out of all concert and personal appearances "at the insistence" of her doctors until May 2011, her publicist said.
Eight Lady Gagas to enter Madame Tussauds worldwide
LOS ANGELES - Pop singer Lady Gaga is to be immortalized in eight Madame Tussauds locations worldwide on December 9, with each wax figure sporting a different flamboyant outfit. Teams in London are working on the $2.4 million project, replicating such looks as the lace body stocking outfit worn to the Brit Awards this year, a towering purple hair piece used in Denmark, and a telephone hat and costume she donned for a London TV show.
