Welcome to 2009! The new year hasn’t really seen much change with the box office results from last week, but needless to say, “Marley & Me” has taken the crown again.
For the second weekend in a row, Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson, along with that adorable dog, are bringing in the payola. Have you seen it yet? See the trailer here.
The box office this weekend pretty much shows us that there were no newer movies put out to give “Marley & Me” any competition. With nothing out to rival the top five, it’s no wonder that absolutely nothing changed.
“Bedtime Stories” again took second place with an $8 million drop from last weekend. This is also a movie that I plan on seeing. I love all things Adam Sandler, so this is not a “wait for the DVD” movie.
At third place again, is Brad Pitt’s movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button“. I started watching this movie and got half-way through. Admittedly, it’s not because it was bad or anything, it was just late. It’s a long movie, but I did like what parts I saw.
Fourth in the lineup, surprisingly, is Tom Cruise’s Nazi flick, “Valkyrie“. Tom’s dedicated promotion of the movie brought out the fans, to the tune of $14 million and change.
“Yes Man” rounds out the list of the top five for this past weekend. This is another movie that I’m going to see before it leaves the theaters.
Woody Harrelson and longtime partner Laura Louiemade it official this weekend in a private ceremony on the island of Maui!
Friends and family attended the wedding near Harrelson’s home in Kipahulu. Guests included Owen Wilson, Willie Nelson and Sean Penn. Alanis Morissette sang at the ceremony.
The couple have been together for 20 years and met on the set of “Cheers” in 1987.
Woody and Laura also have three daughters together, Deni Montana, Zoe Giordano and Makani Ravello.
The flick stepped all over ex-husband Brad Pitt’s movie, “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” this weekend, by ten million. Of the rivalry between the two movies to be released on the same day, Jennifer said to Oprah, “We all want our movie to do well…Can we have a tie?”
And who else, besides me, is surprised 100% by the fact that “Valkyrie” didn’t totally bomb? I mean, people watched a Hitler assassination’s attempt on Christmas? Seems like they’d go together like oil and water.
But there was also plenty of publicity unauthorized by Mr. Armstrong, including three days of coverage in The New York Post, a string of articles on Us Magazine’s Web site and an article in Life & Style entitled “How Lance Stole Kate From Owen,” all chronicling Mr. Armstrong’s relationship with the actress and tabloid darling Kate Hudson.
Furthermore, many people seem to mention his two-year relationship with the singer Sheryl Crow, his romance with the fashion designer Tory Burch and his canoodling last year in a New York nightclub with Ashley Olsen, rather than his serious pursuits.

Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson are set to tie the knot – a year after he tried to kill himself when she dumped him.
Kate is thought to have called off the affair, blaming Owen’s lack of commitment.
Owen and Kate originally met while filming the comedy You, Me and Dupree and is thought to have dated him during her six-month separation from now ex-husband and Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson.
It is thought the devastated actor slashed his wrists and took an overdose of pills after his ex-lover was pictured cuddling her new boyfriend comedian Dax Shephard.
Now seven months on from Owen’s reported suicide bid, the pair are back together and are set to wed next year. I’m happy to see these two back together and happy.

For some reason I find this creepy. Being a female I should be all over this. Yet somehow the idea of Woody Harrelson climbing the side of cliff nude just doesn’t do it for me.
Cheers on the testicular fortitude of risking some very unpleasant road rash in effort to climb out of the water. Thank the speedo gods that Owen Wilson chose to cover his pasty white parts with a pair of modest trunks.
But, who am I to judge? Nothing wrong with skinny dipping with your man pal. I chunky dunking with my neighbors all the time.
While being interviewed, Celine Dion admitted to smoking pot. Giggling like a school girl she told the tale of her adventure with marijuana.
Does the person pictured above look like a pot smoker to you!?
‘The only time I did one puff was in Holland, where it’s legal. And I went to a cafeteria with some girls, with the little boats and the canals and we stopped and I tried.’
But the 39-year-old insists the substance had no effect on her: ‘Nothing. No. But I didn’t choke. I took one puff and I said, ‘Okay, nothing happened!’ It was funny. ‘It was, for us, like cheating. ‘Oooh!’ You know, there might be paparazzi!”
While I am not a rocket pot scientist…I am pretty sure she did it wrong. Dion is the only celeb found of weed. David Arquette, Mischa Barton, Kelly Clarkson, Paris Hilton, Cameron Diaz, Kirsten Dunst, Norah Jones, Woody Harrelson, Owen Wilson, Adrianne Curry and even Barak Obama all have admitted to or been spotted with a doobie.
Obama also spilled the weed during an interview in 2007.
“When I was a kid I inhaled frequently. That was the point.”
I think I might actually be able to tolerate her if she were stoned off her extensions.
While enjoying himself at a party last Friday, Owen Wilson revealed he still has big issues. The Butterscotch Stallion was at a part at the Shore Club where he went crazy and practically made a photographer cry. The Patrón Highcroft Racing party played host to a slew of people who reportedly witnessed Owen tearing into an event photog. After his crazy-making, the verbally assaulted pimped the story to Page Six.
“There were 150 people who watched Wilson jump across the pool, making a complete a – - of himself.” His antics prompted photographer Manny Hernandez to snap a few pictures. Hernandez told us that after he took the shots, Wilson “charged at me and started screaming at me hysterically.”
Of course reps for Owen are on damage control and claim the yelling never happened. In the same statement denying said berating, the rep mentioned that Wilson was told there would be no press. This doesn’t look to good. It is going to be hard to keep 150 people from confirming the actor went nuts. Especially if rumored love interest Jennifer Aniston was there.
Wilson and Jennifer have sparked romance rumors around the net. The two are filming “Marley and Me” in Miami. They are allegedly growing extremely close and have become “inseparable.” But before they formally met, Aniston had told friends that she was worried to be working with Owen.
“She wasn’t looking forward to the film at first because she was worried about working with Owen, but he has turned out to be a real surprise. She’s finding out that he’s a terrific guy who’s fun to be around. Jennifer is known for being a recluse on set. But she’s having so much fun hanging out with Owen. She’s just really relaxed and happy, which is nice to see.”
Awww….when this is kismet. They should change the name of the film to “When Crazy Met Desperate.”
Jessica Simpson recently spoke to Extra about what the boys in Boston are like. Apparently the time she has spent there has made her an expert.
“I think Boston has cute boys. I need a Boston man. A Boston man is closest to a Southern man, I believe.”
It can’t be the accent, so what does Jessica see in those Boston boys that remind her of Texas? “Just their loyalty”. It’s nice of her to say, but I just want to know what her experience with loyal Boston men has been. Owen Wilson is from Texas, sweetie.

I woke up this morning to two different Owen Wilson rumors – one says he’s been seeing Jessica Simpson, and the other says he’s getting back together with old flame Kate Hudson. For his sake, I pray that it’s not the first one.
As for the first story, Star Magazine is reporting that Owen and Jessica were seen having dinner at the Huntley Hotel in Santa Monica this past weekend, and then after dinner the two went back to Owen’s. A witness claims, “He couldn’t keep his hands off her.”
The two were also spotted together on October 16 in Austin, where they were shooting Willie Nelson’s video.
Please, please, say it ain’t so. I like Owen, and this just doesn’t sound good.
As for story number 2, Heat Magazine is reporting that Owen and Kate are reuniting. They have been in contact, emailing and calling each other, after Kate reached out to Owen during his recovery.
A source told Heat magazine,
“As soon as he could, Owen thanked her for her e-mails and phone calls. Now they plan to meet when he returns to LA from Texas. Owen is elated about the prospect. He’s in excellent spirits now, though they are determined to stay off the radar during the early stages.”
Yeah, the one involving Kate is just so much more believable.
Owen and Kate originally met while filming the comedy You, Me and Dupree and is thought to have dated him during her six-month separation from now ex-husband and Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson.
