The film grossed 20.7 million over Halloween weekend, but numbers were lower than what Sony anticipated. However, the film still took the number one spot.

In addition, the two week screening of the movie has been extended to Thanksgiving weekend.

The Chairman of Sony Pictures, Jeff Blake, states,

“In just 5 days, Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT has become the highest grossing concert film of all time and we are elated by the response to this special film by fans, critics and moviegoers from all over the world. With this kind of global response, it’s clear that the motion picture deserves an extended run and we are going to do everything we can to make the film available to everyone who wants to see Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT on the big screen.”

This news is music to MJ fans ears….

tinkerbellx

She’s been around for nearly 50 years,…still looking as youthful as ever…But one thing however, had to change.  Her outfit!

The famous sidekick is more than just pixie dust and smiles…her character has been transformed into a star in her own right.  With the launch of her straight to DVD computer animated series…with the latest installment, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, due Oct. 27….

Tinker Bell is closing out the year with a bang!

Which is all the more reason to debut a new look, especially since the DVD’s autumn release.

Pixar co-founder John Lasseter states,

“I began thinking what the costume design would be for each season,” he says. Since Lost Treasure is set in autumn, “the weather is cooler, and her outfit should reflect that.”

Thumbs Up!

We are fans of Tinker Bell’s new look and persona…but for those of you who prefer her vintage elegance…Check out our selection of Tinker Bell’s items and accessories:

Things have taken a turn for the worst for America’s favorite train wreck, Jon & Kate Plus 8….

Lets give a recent time line of the latest events that have turned Jon & Kate into an all out freak show:

jon&kate

-TLC announces that Jon’s role will be drastically shortened, and the show’s name will be changed to Kate Plus 8.

-Jon halts production of the show: citing concern for his children as reason.  A sign posted outside the Gosselin’s residence prohibits production crews or any TLC staff.

-Jon violates an agreement which is part of their divorce proceedings and withdraws $230,000 from a joint account with Kate….But wait, hes not a complete clown- he left her $1,000! [LOSER!]

Things are looking to turn into a complete circus between the two…But Kate continues to remain classy, and hopefully the children won’t continue to be affected…
