Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Bested by Twilight Saga!

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows brought in $24 million across the nation last night, as fans lined up for midnight showings of this blockbuster.
While impressive, though, that tally falls short of two Twilight Saga installments.

The record-holder for midnight showing haul is Eclipse, which earned $30 million during the first two hours of its release. That figure topped the previous best: New Moon's $26.3 million.
In 2009, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince brought in $22 million during this time slot, proving once and for all: no magic is a match for chiseled abs and brooding paleness!

Erin Barry: A Real-Life Desperate Housewife

Erin Barry, the mistress/sext-message fiend behind Eva Longoria and Tony Parker's divorce, is a real desperate housewife - a good girl gone bad!
According to the New York Post, the estranged wife of Brent Barry, a former teammate of Parker's, had been sexting Tony Parker for over a year.
But in 2006, Erin Barry described a storybook marriage to Brent, then a guard with the San Antonio Spurs, with San Antonio Woman magazine.

SEXT BOMB: Erin Barry's charms were too much for Tony to resist.

"To sit in your nice home, have your nice job and ignore the suffering going on around you, you can't enjoy what you have if you don't help those that are less fortunate," she said. "For me to be able to use the blessings that I have feels good."
Erin identified herself as a housewife and mom, a high-school sweetheart of Brent who met while a student at an all-girls Catholic school in San Francisco.
Erin also revealed she was born to a single, teen mom and adopted by a couple that also had three biological children: "It was kind of obvious," she said. "Here I was with my dark hair and olive complexion in this Irish-Polish family."
The news of Tony Parker and Eva Longoria's divorce comes just weeks after the Barrys, who have two boys, ages 4 and 9, also decided to divorce.
The Barrys wed 12 years ago. Longoria found the text messages between Erin and Tony and filed for divorce after just three years of marriage.
"Eva and I have been discussing our situation privately," Parker said. "We plan to continue to keep our discussions of this matter private."
Good luck with that.

Report: Dancing With the Stars Set On Lockdown After White Powder Mailed to Bristol Palin

Emergency responders raced to CBS Television City studios late Friday after a white powder substance was found by a member of the Dancing with the Stars staff.
The apparent target, according to TMZ, was likely Bristol Palin.
Law enforcement sources say the powder substance was discovered by a DWTS staff member, and a section of the studio was then evacuated and cordoned off.

Fortunately, the FBI reported it appears to be mere talcum powder after "initial field screening was negative for hazardous substances." An investigation continues.
The powder was contained in a piece of fan mail addressed to Bristol Palin. We know plenty of fans are upset with her long run on the show, but this is just wrong.
Come on, people. There's nothing funny about terrorist threats, even if Brandy's elimination really sucked. Get a grip ... also, the white powder thing is so 2001.
Now that this is over and it looks like everyone's free from danger, we can go back to debating whether Bristol deserves to be in the finals ...

Inferno Producers to Lindsay Lohan: You're Fired!

Lindsay Lohan playing Linda Lovelace seemed too perfect, but it wasn't meant to be. The producers of Inferno are going in a new, less-troubled direction.
"We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan," director Matthew Wilder said.
While it may seem a harsh rebuke of Lohan, who is currently in rehab at the Betty Ford Center, the director says it's not personal, it's just business.

EXTINGUISHED: Guess they're gonna need a new poster.

"We have stuck by Lindsay very patiently for a long time with a lot of love and support," said Wilder, who hinted last week that Lindsay might lose the role.
"Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her - and some other issues - made it impossible for us to go forward." Yep, an indefinite stay in rehab will do that.
An announcement on her replacement is imminent. "We are in negotiations [with another star] and working out the legalities of bringing her onboard."
Who do you think it is? Can anyone replace Lindsay?
