No Slump Yet: ‘Contraband’ And ‘Beauty & Beast 3D’ Overperform For Big MLK Holiday
FRIDAY 11:30 PM, 2ND UPDATE: Bigger numbers are starting to come in for this Martin Luther King 4-day holiday weekend which is looking like the 2nd best ever with $ 165M overall moviegoing, or +9% over last year. The most important news is that there’s no sign of a 2012 box office slump — yet. Hollywood is very encouraged by these North American grosses so far. Both Universal’s Contraband and Warner Bros’ Joyful Noise earned ‘A-’ CinemaScores from audiences which is one reason both films are far exceeding Hollywood predictions for their openings. One note for you snarksters: Paramount’s The Devil Inside, which took big top honors last weekend, fell -84% from last Friday to this Friday and maybe -78% week to week because of word-of-mouth related to that ’F’ CinemaScore. As one rival studio exec told me tonight: “The drop could better depending on the late night moron crowd.”

Just in case you bastards missed “Sleeping Beauty” star Emily Browning from the premiere, check it here.
As for the others in attendance, I’m really diggin’ Diane Kruger from the red carpet! I heard a rumor that French actress Marion Cotillard stole Diane’s longtime boyfriend Joshua Jackson recently. Any truth to the rumor?
And, I know some of you weight-haters are calling Aishwarya Rai fat. Sure she put on a lil’ weight, but I think it’s for the best! Meatiness is a great addition to a woman’s body, damn it!! Ow!

Jessica Simpson Seeks a Spiritual Guy
Jessica Simpson says her ideal man is spiritual, artistic and intellectual.
She recently told TV’s Extra:
“I definitely love a spiritual man - somebody that is going to always inspire me. I don’t want to get bored. I can bore out pretty easily, so I love intellectual men…people that will always keep me intrigued. And, you know, I love artistic men…somebody that really understands their art.”

“I couldn’t have had this journey at a better time in my life…to seek out beauty, to seek out confidence, and to seek out the power of a woman.”
