Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
We hope you gorged and shopped to your heart's content. But surely you left room for a no-calorie, totally free helping of the week's meatiest scoop!
ANTICLIMAX OF THE WEEK: Show's over, folks. Nothing more to see here. Jennifer Grey won "Dancing With the Stars", just as she was expected to do when the season premiered months ago. She didn't do the lift, but it was good. Kyle Massey came in second and Bristol Palin and the mighty conspiracy that propelled her into the final were relegated to third. With the "special event' behind her, Willow Palin can go back to her social networking.
AFRONT OF THE WEEK: Lindsay Lohan is out and Malin Akerman is in as Linda Lovelace in Matthew Wilder's "Inferno." It's no wonder the director got tired of waiting for the rehabbing star, whom he called "uninsurable" — she couldn't even go home for Thanksgiving!
SPELL OF THE WEEK: "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" worked its magic at last weekend's box office, taking in $125 million, despite the AMA non-enthusiasts. But though the seven (so far) Harry Potter films have obviously made more than the three (so far) "Twilight" films (and, for that matter, any film series), the vampire saga takes in money faster than the Cullens play baseball.
POSSIBLE DISASTER OF THE WEEK: Warner Bros. and Atlas Entertainment are reviving " Buffy the Vampire Slayer" for the big screen, more of a reboot of the fangtastic series than the schlocky 1992 film. But should the studios be doing anything at all with our precious Buffy memories, especially if the series principals aren't onboard? Joss Whedon, who is not involved, has mixed emotions.
2011 APPOINTMENT OF THE WEEK: Prince William and Kate Middleton have set April 29 as the date of their already very hyped nuptials.
