The wizard boy, Harry Potter had to fight with a fairy princess last weekend at the Box Office. Both of them had a close shave but finally the Potter movie Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 came out as the ultimate winner with a collection of $50.3 million over the Thanksgiving weekend.
'Tangled', the fairy tale of princess Rapunzel, was another Box Office favorite last weekend as the long-haired princess attracted millions with her charm in North America. The 3D animated movie earned $49.1 million within three days, which is much more than the industry expectation. It opened just one day before the U.S. ‘Thanksgiving Day’ so many preferred to enjoy the holiday with this charming princess.
According to the Warner Bros, the seventh Harry Potter movie sold tickets worth $163.5 million and the United States and Canada ruled with a earning of $50.3 million. In France, the 'Harry Potter' movie collected its best last week with $19.1 million, which is the best opening of the country this year.
It indicates that the Harry Potter fans are not at all bored with Harry's magical wand and they can watch it for next few years too, if there comes any other sequel. The final data of the last weekend shows 'Harry Potter' is still the ultimate ruler at the Box office and we can expect the success journey to continue for the next few more weeks too.
Officers at a police station in Pakistan's Gujranwala district paid a heavy price for being enamoured with the Dabangg super-hit song Munni Badnam Hui when they were suspended Friday for forcing three female dancers to perform it at the police station.
Three dancers of a musical troupe in Lahore were on their way to Gujranwala to perform at a marriage ceremony, but officers of the Sadhoki police station stopped them at a checkpost midway and took them to the police station, Dunya TV reported.
Having arrested the dancers, the policemen were not ready to let go the opportunity to have some fun.
They asked the dancers to perform to the Malaika Arora hit song Munni Badnam Hui one by one. After having his wish fulfilled, the police station in-charge registered an FIR against the three dancers and detained them in a lock-up.
The dancers, who could not go home even after entertaining the police officers, were only released on bail after two days.
They filed a writ petition before the session judge who ordered an inquiry after listening to their plight.
The Regional Police Officer (RPO) Gujranwala, Tariq Masood Yaseen, after conducting an inquiry, has suspended the police station in-charge Abid Farooq and the entire staff, the channel said.
All of them have been detained in the same lock-up where they kept the dancers for two days while further investigation is underway.
Jessica Simpson is sharing details of how her fiance Eric Johnson popped the big question!
“I absolutely had no idea. He had talked to my mom and dad and my sister [Ashlee] three weeks before he asked me. He had the ring in his shoe at my house somewhere,” she says on The Morning Mash Up radio show, in an interview airing Thursday, December 2.
“I was like, why hide it in a shoe, but it worked. He got down on his knee and I had to sit down on it because I was so shocked,” she says.
Jess, 30, adds that it happened while she was watching Parenthood. “I was short of breath. It was definitely one of those moments where I’ve never felt that way before, ever … We met in my house it was amazing that he proposed to me in my house.”
“I can’t believe all the Simpsons kept a secret,” says Jess.
This one is not for kids, even if Harry Potter has had a huge kids following, alongside the adult one! Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows, Part 1' actor Emma Watson has not shared an innocent kiss with her series co-star Daniel Radcliffe only. Daniel, in a candid show with music and entertainment channel MTV has shared that both himself and Emma had to strip for the scene!
While you may be screeching with the question “why did they do that!” after watching the movie, we are equally clueless! Daniel says that the day before they were to shoot it, his director had informed him of this weird idea of being naked. For grace’s sake or for sake of getting an all-age certificate, Emma was given a silver-colored bra for the shot.
And what does Daniel have to say about the scene and the chemistry they shared over it? He’s all cool. He’s gone to the extent of saying that the kiss was as simple as kissing his sibling only! Now that, we say, is some statement! Daniel, who has no sister of his own, says, the absence of one in his life makes him think it was so simple, and, passion-less!
But then, at another interview, he has said that Emma was all charged up and behaved like an ‘animal’ (you may read: passionate) while the scene was being shot. Well then, why this back-tracking Daniel?
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have donated $150,000 to a children's charity.
The couple gave the sum to SOS Children's Villages, USA - which supports adoptive families and highlights the needs of children without parental care - in recognition of National Adoption Day through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
Dr. Heath Paul, CEO of SOS Children's Villages, USA, said: "I am truly thankful that Angelina and Brad understand the power of family - the kind of stable family that SOS holds as an essential part of healthy child development.
Together, Angelina and Brad have been eye-witnesses to the great work of SOS Children's Villages in Ethiopia, Jordan, a Darfur refugee camp in Chad and Haiti. Angelina and Brad know that children's need for a family is universal.
The donation from the couple - who have adopted three children, Maddox, nine, Pax, six, and Zahara, five, as well as three other kids, Shiloh, four, and two-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne - will provide the long-term financial support needed for a family of four foster children in one of the US SOS Children's Villages.
Last year, the couple donated $100,000 to two of the organisation's centres in Florida and Illinois after being impressed by their work.
Angelina said of the generous gift: "We have seen firsthand the remarkable job SOS does to raise orphaned and abandoned children and keep families together. No one 'ages out' of an SOS Village: vocational training, advanced education, living assistance and moral support are there forever."
The SOS Villages house over 200 children and last Christmas Brad insisted it was important to show gratitude for the work the organisation does.
He said: "In this holiday season, many of us take for granted that we are surrounded by loving family members. The poor outcomes for foster children indicate that we must do a much better job of supporting them."
It was revealed last year Brad and Angelina donated $6.8 million to charity in 2008 after raising the money through their Jolie-Pitt Foundation.
Hollywood actors Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal have stripped for a magazine cover and given some candid shots to promote their upcoming comedy "Love & Other Drugs".
The actors are seen in a jolly mood, and Gyllenhaal has his arms wrapped around Hathaway for three different covers, reports dailymail.co.uk.
They also had a few steamy scenes in the film, and Hathaway says she "totally fell apart" the first time they were expected to take their clothes off.
She shared how director Edward Zwick took off his clothes as well and climbed into bed with both actors to lighten the mood while shooting the sex scenes.
But the actors gradually became used to nudity in the film, says Gyllenhaal.
"We were, like, having fake sex and being like, 'Knock the pot off, knock the pot off'. I was not focusing on her at all and instead focusing on knocking the pot off for Ed (the director)," he added.
Gyllenhaal, 29, and Hathaway, 28, play respectively a Viagra pharmaceutical sales representative and a free-spirited woman in the film.
According to Gyllenhaal, they were naked 65 percent of the time while shooting the project.

It wasn't bad sex but it wasn't emotional. It was quick and painless. Nothing exciting.
Jasmine told Life and Style magazine: "I was surprised to hear that. But his friends all seemed to know about it. He was beaten down. He mentioned that he hadn't slept with anyone since separating from Courteney."
Speaking about his "sexual encounters" with Jasmine, David recently admitted they made him feel "manly".
He said: "I did have sex with her one time, maybe twice...my sexual encounter made me pretty feel manly."
However, though Jasmine described their intimate moments as "quick and painless", the 'Scream' star has admitted he cried after they had sex.
Explaining why he broke down, David - who has a six-year-old daughter Coco with Courteney - said: "Because it was the end of all the intimacy I shared with my wife."
