US-ENTERTAINMENT Summary
Reuters - Monday, February 16
R&B star Chris Brown apologizes, seeks counseling
ADVERTISEMENT
LOS ANGELES - R&B star Chris Brown, who was arrested last weekend on suspicion of attacking a woman widely believed to be the pop star Rihanna, said on Sunday he was "sorry and saddened" about the incident, and was seeking counseling. The 19-year-old performer of such U.S. chart-toppers as "Run It!" and "Forever" has been in hiding since the alleged fracas with his girlfriend in a rented Lamborghini.
Simon and Garfunkel reunite in New York
NEW YORK - Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel joined forces for a surprise reunion in New York on Friday, performing three songs during the encore of Simon's show at the newly renovated Beacon Theater. The occasional adversaries dueted on "The Sound of Silence," "The Boxer" and "Old Friends," in what is believed to be just their third appearance together since concluding a 2004 reunion tour. Garfunkel had flown in from Florida, where he played in Key Largo the night before, and he returned to play in Fort Pierce the next night.
British singer M.I.A. gives birth to boy
LOS ANGELES - British pop singer M.I.A., who performed at the Grammy Awards last Sunday despite experiencing labor contractions, has given birth to a baby boy, she said on her MySpace page. The unnamed baby was born on Wednesday, and is "healthy, fine, beautiful and the most amazing thing ever on this planet," according to her Web posting on Saturday.
Nothing says "I love you" like "Friday the 13th"
LOS ANGELES - What better way to celebrate Valentine's Day than to watch college kids get slaughtered in a remake of "Friday the 13th"? The revival of the venerable slasher franchise easily took the No. 1 spot at the North American box office this weekend, setting a new record for a horror opening with estimated sales of $42.2 million, distributor Warner Bros. Pictures said on Sunday.
"Benjamin Button" stays on top overseas
LOS ANGELES - Lavished with 13 Oscar nominations, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" showing considerable strength at the foreign box office on Sunday, logging a second consecutive weekend at No. 1. The Brad Pitt drama earned an estimated $31 million from 53 markets, taking its foreign tally to $118.6 million. In North America, it has earned about $122 million, but has largely run out of steam a week before the Oscars are handed out.
Oscar documentaries may come down to the "Wire"
LOS ANGELES - One man's high-wire walk between the World Trade Center towers is so unfathomable it could seem as fictional, but the real-life feat has made "Man on Wire" the documentary film to beat in this year's Oscars. The portrayal of Frenchman Philippe Petit's illegal 1974 adventure in New York comes to the Academy Awards loaded with prizes, most notably British film of the year at this month's BAFTA Awards.
Peruvian film "The Milk of Sorrow" wins in Berlin
BERLIN won the coveted Golden Bear award for best picture at the Berlin film festival on Saturday. The first Peruvian film in competition at the annual cinema showcase, the story revolves around Fausta, the product of a rape inflicted on her mother during two decades of rebel violence in which around 70,000 people died or disappeared.
Nude Madonna photo sells for $37,500 at auction
LOS ANGELES - A full frontal nude photo of Madonna, taken in 1979 before she became famous, has sold at auction for $37,500 -- more than double its pre-sale estimate. The black and white photo of the pop music superstar, aged 20, was acquired by an unnamed European buyer at Christie's in New York late on Thursday.
Calif. court denies appeal in actors contract talks
LOS ANGELES - A California appeals court on Friday denied an attempt by the president of the largest U.S. actors union to block upcoming contract negotiations with Hollywood's major studios. Alan Rosenberg, president of the Screen Actors Guild, earlier this month sought a court-ordered injunction to block a new SAG negotiating task force -- put in place by the union's national governing board -- from resuming long-stalled labor talks with Hollywood's major studios.
Peter Gabriel spurns Oscars over downsized set
LOS ANGELES - Peter Gabriel has rejected an offer to perform at the Academy Awards next week after the veteran British rocker learned he would have just a minute to sing his Oscar-nominated tune from Disney's "WALL-E". Gabriel and composer Thomas Newman will compete for the best song Oscar on February 22 with "Down To Earth," a tune from the hit Pixar cartoon. The other two nominees are a pair of compositions from "Slumdog Millionaire."
