Manhattan Weekend Box Office: Who's So Money, Now? Martin Macks Manhattan, While Vince Winces
Lesson learned this weekend: Martin Lawrence still has it, while Vince Vaughn doesn’t always. Out of five—yes, five—comedies released this weekend, Lawrence’s Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (No. 1) was easily the fan favorite in Manhattan, out-grossing its closest competition, the Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey romantic barnstormer Fool’s Gold by over $60,000. (Gold did, however, get the last laugh by claiming more cash nationally.) So, where did Vince Vaughn’s stand-up travelogue, Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show, end up?

Sara Vilkomerson’s Guide to This Week’s Movies: I Love(d) the 80’s
Okay … so we had the weirdest dream this weekend. Some movie we had never heard of, something that rhymed “Hannah” with “Montana,” came out of nowhere and broke all sorts of records.

Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour (featuring a young lady born in the early 90’s, sigh), which plays in 3-D (augh!), made $29 million even though it only played in 683 theaters. This means it did better than any other movie playing over the Super Bowl weekend. Ever. It even did better than Titanic. O.K.? read more »
L.A. Fires Leave Matt McConaughey Blazing, Chili Pepper Cold
The blazing fires continued over the weekend in Los Angeles, and the smoky details surrounding a recent Los Angeles Times story are slow to clear, according to US. Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea texted a reporter from the paper over the weekend, allegedly telling him that his $10.5 million home had “burnt to a crisp.” Since then, however, the musician’s rep has called into KNX Newsradio in order to snuff the rumors. It was Flea’s other Malibu home, which was on the market for $4.8 million, that burned like bacon.
Nearby, the ever-sleepy Matthew McConaughey and his girlfriend, model Camila Alves, were forced to ditch the actor’s $10 million Malibu home on Saturday. Asked by photographers what he was doing buying groceries in Beverly Hills in stead of in his own ‘hood, Mr. McConaughey told them: “The fires, man, the fires.” Not to fret, though, because the star of Fool’s Gold, which opens next February, is back at home, safe and sound, his rep told US.
