HOT ITEM OF THE WEEK: New Moon Sets Box Office Record, Out-Abs Harry Potter

58970043Say goodbye to your record, young people who are wizards, and make way for young people who are werewolves and vampires:

Summit Entertainment is reporting that the “Twilight” sequel opened on Thursday night to an unprecedented $26.3 million during its midnight screenings across the country. The film unspooled on 3,514 screens, playing at 12:01 a.m. for die-hard fans — many of whom arrived at the theaters dressed as their favorite characters…

In case you need further proof that “Twilight” is the new “Potter,” look no further than the recent news that “New Moon” set the record for most presold tickets before opening day, or that the movie’s soundtrack charted at #1. Or that a one-day re-release of “Twilight” grossed $1.3 million on 2,057 screens on Thursday.

We all knew this “Twilights” trend was here to stay, but crushing Harry Potter’s record only months later by a full $6 million?

Needless to say, Robert Pattinson is ecstatic:

TRAILER MIX: Robert Pattinson Appears In Movie With No Vampires, Shirtlessness

Here’s the trailer for Remember Me, the new Robert Pattinson movie that replaces dueling vampires and werewolves with dueling Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper, the only thing that tweens enjoy even more.

It’s gonna take a few movies before I see Robbie Patz (my nickname for him that I use to save time) in a trailer without expecting to see CGI’d werewolves jumping out to confront him, so I’ll just pretend that Chris Cooper is a werewolf. Which he was in American Beauty, actually — most people didn’t pick up on that. Watch the deleted scenes.

People’s Top 15 Sexiest Men Alive: An Analysis

People Magazine has revealed their Top 15 Sexiest Men Alive. Not on the list? Perhaps the sexiest actor out there, Mad Men’s Jon Hamm. Allow us to walk you through this list, analyzing each of the lucky Top 15, and grading them the only way we know how… with Hamms.

SEXIEST MAN 915 PATTINSON

15. Robert Pattinson. It was inevitable that RPattz would be on this list. In fact, we’re surprised he’s clocked in so low. It goes without saying that a photo of the Twilight star = Big $$$ for the magazine. We’ll reward People’s decision to play it safe with an extra Hamm.
JON HAMM PEOPLE 6

4 HAMMS


SEXIEST MAN  914 JOHN LEGEND

14. John Legend This is a pretty surprising choice. Legend is certainly one of the most adorable, puppy-faced guys out there. But it’s his crooning that pushes him from “cute neighbor” to “please father my children.” So far, people seems off to a good start.
JON HAMM PEOPLE 3.5

3.5 HAMMS


The list continues ahead. And yes… we did give someone HALF A HAMM.

Poster For Angelina Jolie’s Salt Features Angelina Jolie, The Word Salt

Hey what’s a word that hasn’t been used for a movie title yet? “Milk” is taken, so’s “Water”… How about “Salt”? That’s a word, right?

What’s the movie gonna be about?

Who gives a sh*t? Just make sure the poster says “SALT.” Also, viral marketing.

Huh?

The poster for Salt, featuring Angelina Jolie:

Giving no information whatsoever = What viral marketing is.

It has nothing to do with making something intriguing, making us actually want to know more about something, making the thing interesting to begin with, etc…

Adam Sandler, Please Tell Us The Grown Ups Trailer Is Just A Brilliant Parody. Please.

After watching this trailer for the new Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider and David Spade movie Grown Ups, I am strangely getting pretty psyched to see Old Dogs:

Wow. I feel like I’m missing something here. Is this a pitch perfect mockery of everything bad about Hollywood comedies? I know every one one of these actors has been in a terrible movie or two before, but there’s no way they’d join forces and make movie with a hacky title like Grown Ups, right?

Between the Disney narration to that shot of “the guys” laughing and drinking wine in a cemetary to Kevin James hitting that tree, someone at some point HAD to have said something along the lines of, “We’ll show those jerks on the internet how you make a fake cheesy movie trailer!” These guys are professional comedians. They don’t actually expect us to believe this movie would be a good way to spend two hours and $13… right?

To Chris Rock’s credit, he looks pretty embarrassed to be involved at all. Also, I’m guessing they passed on these titles:

Adults

Older People

Middle Aged Family Men

Growin’ Old

Mature Human Beings

Eva Mendes Continues Appearing Topless To Maintain Our Interest In Her

Eva Mendes may not be “that interesting,” per se, but she’s at least aware of Hollywood’s raging indifference towards averagely-talented but really attractive actresses, and rather than just maintain her fame solely through pointless gossip magazine headlines, she takes a far more proactive approach and just appears topless a whole bunch of times:

Eva Mendes Topless Ad

Eh, not super-naked here, but it beats Us Weekly covers about “Eva’s steamy affair with name you only know from previous Us Weekly covers!” Nice to see Jessica Alba appears to be accepting the same inevitable naked fate.

Also, apologies for the strangely hetero-male posts the past couple days; I’m sure Michelle will be back to dude it up soon enough.

More pics of Eva’s topless jeans somethingerother:

Walt Disney Treasures Is A Little Racier Than I Would’ve Expected

I came across this intriguing display at a Best Buy yesterday:

Disney NC17

Coincidental “Ratings Explanation” placement? Or is Walt Disney Treasures: Zoro 2nd Season full of hardcore f***ing?

It’s gotta be the second thing.

Will Smith To Play Mentally Retarded Person In Retarded Attempt To Win Oscar

Will Smith Simple JackWill Smith, I know you’re pissed about not winning Oscars for Ali or Pursuit of Happyness, but please, PLEASE do not do the Oscar equivalent of strapping dynamite to yourself and threatening to blow yourself up if the Academy doesn’t bend to your will and finally toss you a golden statue.

Don’t do it, Will. You’re better than that. PLEASE don’t star as a mentally retarded person in an Oscar-baiting film. Will, please… what are you… No… NOOOO….

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

According to our inside source, The Hollywood Cog, Smith is set to produce and star in Flowers for Algernon, a modern-day adaptation of the Daniel Keyes’ novel.

The short story (and the subsequent novel) is about Charlie, a mentally retarded man who is the first human test subject for an experimental surgery that artificially increases intelligence…

Flowers For Algernon, if you somehow made it through high school with your eyes closed and fingers in your ears the entire time, is an excellent short story from the 50s that was adapted into a mediocre novel in the 60s and subsequent 1968 film that already won Cliff Robertson a Best Actor Oscar.

I’m being nothing but serious, Will Smith, when I say: NO ONE WANTS TO SEE YOU PLAY A MENTALLY HANDICAPPED PERSON. It’s been a cliched Oscar joke for two decades, an earlier film adaptation already won a damn Oscar, and you’re Will freaking Smith and hearing you talk like a mentally retarded person is going to make us all laugh really, really, really hard.

Wait a minute, now I’m picturing it. And laughing out loud. Oh man, this is a sweet mental trailer-picture. “Wewcome 2 Ewth!!!” Hehehe… On second thought…

GO FOR IT WILL!!!! Slur those words, be confused by simple concepts but understand love and GET THAT ELUSIVE OSCAR!!!!

Movie Blatantly Leaks Clip Of Jessica Alba’s Ass Getting Spanked, If You’re Into That

If I made a really crappy movie starring Jessica Alba, but she plays a prostitute and there’s one scene where she gets her ass spanked in bed, I’d go very very far out of my way to make sure that clip ‘leaked’ to the internet well in advance of the movie. And made sure animated GIFs and YTMNDs of the clip also ‘leaked’ to the internet. And that the entire trailer for the movie was that clip and the release date.

Then I would be all, “Oh no I can’t believe that clip of Jessica Alba’s ass getting spanked, which happens in our movie that opens on this date, leaked to the internet! Dearie me we are going to have to pull that clip off the internet and spank the people who put it up even harder than Jessica Alba gets spanked in the clip itself, in which her bare ass is also visible.

On the other hand, Casey Affleck is in the film (as the titular character, Dr. Spankenstein), and he was in like nine good movies in 2007, so maybe the movie’s actually alright. Also, Jessica Alba gets her ass spanked in the film, so there’s that too.

I don’t think we can embed the Killer Inside Me clip (I’m still not sure if we have rules / human decency here at VH1, it’s kind of a gray area), so click the image below to watch the scene:
