It might seem strange but it’s true. Wall E opened with $62.5 million in ticket sales making Wanted rank second this past weekend making $51.1 million. According to the AP, Wall-E drew moviegoers of all ages.

But… according to other stats provided by Perez Hilton, Wanted can still be considered huge success as it was the biggest opening of an action film in Jolie’s career; as it turned out to be the best June opening ever for an R-rated movie, beating Knocked Up’s $30.6m, and the 6th highest R-rated opening of all time.

Besides, the studio expected only a $35m-something opening, so the film did much better than anticipated. And finally, Angie proved she is a big draw: Cinemascore said the main reasons given for choosing to see Wanted were the action (67%) and Jolie (61%).

Amy Winehouse is a total disaster! Why would she ever say anything like calling Kanye West a c**t. During the Glastonbury Festival this past weekend Amy had to introduce Jay-Z to the stage and what she said was:

Imagine if it was a c**t like Kanye West. C**ts like Kanye should be his next album title.”

This was so wrong of troubled Amy. Kanye simply replied on his blog “This just in… Amy Winehouse hates me!!! Now I’ve really made it!!! LOL!!!!”

Now, Jay-Z told MTV.com “She said something about Kanye late on (in her set) but I didn’t hear it and I don’t agree with it. He’s my brother and the biggest artist on Roc-a-fella (records) right now.

“I guess I should hook them up because he’s a great guy too. I don’t know what the problem is - I don’t know where that (comment) came from.”

Amy is losing her mind. So wrong.

Moreover, she has hit a fan during the ‘Rehab’ performance. Not a lady!

And it happened! Though I won’t be able to speak loud for a couple of days now because I lost my voice, it was a great victory and it was worth losing my voice. Spain did it! It defeated Germany 1-0 at Euro 2008, and won the cup for the first time within 44 years.

We must thank Fernando Torres for the game. It was he to score the only goal in 33rd minute and ensure the team wins the long-desired cup. In the 33rd minute Xavi eased a through-ball from Philipp Lahm, but the swift Torres first moved outside the left-back to score the ball into the far corner of the net. “Lahm was in a better position but for a moment he relaxed and I took advantage,” said the scorer.

Fernando Torres ended Spain’s four decades of failure and vowed: “Now I want to be the best player in the world.”

No offence, but the Spanish were the best at the tournament, really. Spain never permitted their opponents to assume the lead in any game. They won all six games in Austria and Switzerland.

Torres said later:

“My best moment of the tournament was to score the goal which won the final. I’m proud but I was doing my job. This has been a fantastic season for me. But I want to win more titles and be the most important player in Europe and the world. Like through the whole tournament we played a perfect game. The team that played the best football are champions. It’s good for football and for Spain.”

“Torres is a great player, he is great for Liverpool [the team Torres is playing for] and for us and he might get anywhere because he has extraordinary speed. We have composed a group, which plays well, touches the ball well and they are difficult to stop. This is a happy day for Spain.” said Aragones right after the victory.

The Spanish were better, even their opponents admit that. “Spain were excellent and had more chances than us. They deserve the victory,” said Germany coach Joachim Loew.

There were VIP quests to support their teams in Vienna. Spanish Prince Felipe, Enrique Iglesias supported The Spanish, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel was cheering her country’s teem up.

Though Germany didn’t get their seventh Euro cup, they still have a chance to shine. World Cup will probably let revenge on Spain. We’ll see. But so far, Viva la España!

They won’t let you forget your past, Jennifer.

Remember those wild times when J Lo wasn’t yet a hot mommy but a sexy singer dating Sean “Diddy” Combs? If not I’ll remind you, it was in 1999. They made a great showbiz couple but then there was a weird case with shooting in a night club and it was allegedly one of the reasons for their split.

One can say, forget it, it was 9 years ago! One could forget it but not Natania Reuben, the woman who was shot in the face during that incident at Club New York, on December 27 1999. She hired lawyers to file a suit for $130 million.

J Lo has kept quiet during the past 8 years about the nightclub shooting incident which involved her then-boyfriend P Diddy Combs. But guess what, Reuben’s lawyers obtained the subpoena for Jennifer Lopez to force her to testify in court.

Combs and Jamal “Shyne” Barrow were the two men involved, and Shyne has already been jailed.

Time will show how much J Lo remembers about that night. Being friends with bad boys isn’t always good.

Amy Winehouse was back on stage in London Friday when she performed two of her hits ‘Rehab’ and ‘Valerie’ at a special concert as part of Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday tribute.

Everyone welcomed her with loud cheers and was impressed by her strong vocals and her really healthy looks, according to the reports.

Amy was wearing her famous huge beehive with a bright heart-shaped pin inscribed with “Blake”, her husband’s name. Generally Amy looked much better than expected, especially taking into account her recent hospitalization and health issues.

Besides singing two of her songs, Winehouse took lead vocals in a version of ‘Free Nelson Mandela,’ alongside Jerry Dammers, the writer of the anthem, and most of the concert’s performers and then joined everyone to sing ‘Happy birthday’ to Nelson Mandela.

Here’s Amy singing her famous ‘Rehab’. Honestly, I expected something grander from her. but the dancers rock.

Organizers of Friday’s gig feared Winehouse would miss the concert after she failed to attend a scheduled photocall on Thursday, the source reported.

Generally the concert was aimed at raising money for Mandela’s 46664 AIDS charity – named after his prison number. The concert followed the fundraising dinner on Wednesday night, which was attended by Bill Clinton, Gordon Brown, Oprah Winfrey, Robert De Niro, Will Smith, Uma Thurman and others.

According to the reports, the event has raised about $10m. The concert was led by Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and was attended by Geri Halliwell, Leona Lewis, Annie Lennox, trio Sugababes, Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger, Prince William’s girlfriend Kate Middleton, and others.

Once again, happy birthday Nelson! You’re a great man!

MTV Video Music Awards will be held on September, 7 and aired live from Paramount Pictures Studios in Los Angeles. It’s possible we’ll be able to see Britney Spears perform at the show this year too.

“Everyone deserves a second or third chance, right?” Van Toffler, president of MTV Networks Music Group, told the AP yesterday. “I’m not sure how we top Britney opening the show. We are working on it.”

If she does perform this year everyone will be really curious to see if her performing skill’ve got better since last year’s VMA when she opened the show with her then-new single “Gimme more.” Her infamous performance was the main thing I remembered about the show at all.

Viewers and Britney herself were hugely disappointed by her performance. Seemed she had taken a lot of sleeping pills before getting on stage. Her dance was awkward, she couldn’t even lip-synch to her own song. Well, it was her worst performance so far. (Sorry Brit, but it’s true.)

I hope her performance this year will be up to the level. Can’t wait to hit the show. Good luck, Brit!

The first The Dark Knight reviews hail Heath Ledger’s performance of the Joker as Oscar-worthy, according to UsMagazine.

“I can only speak superlatives of Ledger, who is mad-crazy-blazing brilliant as the Joker,” Rolling Stone critic Peter Travers writes. “Ledger’s Joker has no gray areas — he’s all rampaging id. He creates a Joker for the ages,” the critic added.

According to Travers, Ledger’s performance deserves an Oscar nomination.

“If there’s a movement to get him the first posthumous Oscar since Peter Finch won for 1976’s Network, sign me up,” he writes.

If bloggers can do anything to help Ledger get this Oscar nomination, sigh me in too! He was a really gifted actor who deserved to become part of the Oscar history.

Heath Ledger died at age 28 of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in January this year. His last film The Dark Knight premieres on July 18. Stay tuned to learn more about it.

Another star-studded party was held by Sir Elton John yesterday in his Windsor home. Hardly had celebs said good bye to Nelson Mandela in Hyde Park as they were invited to Elton John’s 10-th Annual White Tie & Tiara Ball raising money for the Elton John AIDS Foundation.

The Ball is an annual event hosted by Elton John and David Furnish and one of the premier fundraising events of the UK. This year the ball marks its 10th anniversary and the 15th anniversary of the Elton John AIDS Foundation in the United Kingdom. This year’s sponsors include Chopard and OK! Magazine. The Ball has already raised more than £26.9 million (over $53m) since the first event in 1998.

The event is famous for its wealth of A list celebrities attracted. This year’s list included former U.S. president Bill Clinton, Sir Michael Caine, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, Elizabeth Hurley with husband Arun Nayar, The O.C. star Mischa Barton, Kelly Osbourne, Rob Steward with his family, model-of-the-moment Agyness Deyn, Chris Tucker, American Idol judge Simon Cowell, Natalie Imbruglia, and many others.

Guests looked gorgeous. Jada Pinkett Smith was wearing a tight black gown with a very long train making her look just amazing against her really stylish hubby.

As for Liz Hurley she chose a stunning aquamarine strapless gown and a diamond tiara to make her look like a real princess (or a queen?).

Mischa Barton was wearing a lemon green dress with a black lacy inset and embroidered headband making her look flirty and girly. I liked the headband, not the dress.

Mischa wasn’t along to pick a headband. Model Elle MacPherson dazzled in a gold evening look, beaded gold headband and vintage embroidered shawl that made her look hippy but really glam.

Eva Herzigova was wearing a very lovely Gracian-style white gown with a yellow-brown chain ornament. Cute.

Naomi Campbell showed up too.

Generally, every year the party has a theme. “The theme this year is ‘beach party’,” says Elton’s longtime partner David Furnish. “So, we’ve got Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys playing. The aim every year is to get people to say it was the best one yet. It’s still a party in your home and Elton and I like to shake everybody’s hand personally. There is no us and them.”

Though it was a beach party, most celebs preferred more classical glam style. I personally liked Natalie Imbruglia’s black dress that stressed her slender body really well.

Elton John and David Furnish invited 620 guests who had to pay $6000 a ticket to raise even more money than last year though last year they raised $12 m at the Las Vegas party.
