(Holiday) Weekend Box Office Estimates: Audiences Give “Christmas” Present
With Thanksgiving now in the rear view, the Christmas season officially got underway as the holiday-themed Four Christmases took the weekend crown. The Reese Witherspoon/Vince Vaughn romantic comedy earned $31.6 million (though not the respect of critics), more than enough to put it ahead of #2 Bolt - which narrowly took second over Twilight, even though the tween vampire flick has a $50+ million advantage over the Disney flick going into their third weeks, now well over the $100 million mark.

Craig hopes ‘Quantum of Solace’ will be beat Kidman’s
James Bond star Daniel Craig hopes that ‘Quantum of Solace’ will be a bigger box office hit than Aussie actress Nicole Kidman’s ‘Australia’.
He appeared quite positive when asked whether his new flick would turn out to be better than Kidman’s ‘Australia’, “God yes. What kind of stupid question is that?” News.com.au quoted him as saying.
But he also said that he just could not wait to see the movie, as he was a “big Baz Luhrmann fan”.

New ‘Australia’ trailer
I’ve been hearing some good things about Hugh Jackman’s performance all along, but for some reason, he’s never cracked my Best Actor chart. It’s a crowded field, but anyway, this is a great trailer. I’m a Baz supporter through and through, and I’ve been told this isn’t the straight-up epic it appears to be from the materials released so far. It isn’t Baz restraining his vision for the sake of a style of film he hasn’t tackled yet; it is very much a
New Trailer for ‘Australia’
The newest trailer courtesy of MovieWeb. Another masterpiece from Baz has Oscar written all over it. Kidman and Jackman were made for this type of epic movie.

Nicole Kidman & Hugh Jackman Bring 'Australia' To Paris
Parisians will be enjoying a taste of Oz after the Hugh Jackman & Nicole Kidman romantic epic. Returning to the backdrop of director Baz Luhrmann's first collaboration Moulin Rouge!,...
On "Today," will Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie marry? On "Good Morning America," will Britney Spears learn to entertain?
Big doings in the morning. Or so we thought, based on the promotion.
ABC said it had the "concert event of the year" with Britney Spears performing. Yep, she sang -- or rather, lip synched -- two songs on "Good Morning America." Two songs! Some concert event.
Spears looked good. But she didn't move with a lot of verve. (Turn it on, Brit, if you want to drive those CD sales.) Diane Sawyer fawned over her, which was kind of embarrassing. But Hugh Jackman, Reese Witherspoon and Taylor S
New 'Australia' TV trailer looks impressive
MSN recently released what it calls an extended TV trailer for Baz Luhrmann's upcoming romance drama "Australia," which stars Nicole Kidman as an English aristocrat who teams up with a stockman (Hugh Jackman) to drive her cattle across Australia’s most unforgiving land and later faces the Japanese bombing of the city of Darwin.
As you can see and hear above (via Trailer Addict), the stunning music and beautiful images make this new footage look grand. I have to admit I am quite looking forward to seeing t

Britney Spears Wows Fans, Family With ‘Good Morning America’ Birthday Performance
NEW YORK — Britney Spears kicked off her 27th birthday Tuesday (December 2) not just with the release of her Circus album, but with a performance on "Good Morning America." Fans lined up in Times Square, where the mini concert was held, hoping for the opportunity to catch a glimpse of Britney in person.
The performance found Britney decked out in her Circus gear: midriff-baring shirt, a ringmaster jacket and top hat, and she alternated between hot pants and a pair of body-hugging leather pants. Brit
Trailer Cache: Australia
The new trailer for Baz Luhrmann's Austrailia has us a little dumbfounded. The film, Mr. Luhrmann's first since striking the fancy of Oscar voters seven years ago with his multiple nominated revisionist musical Moulin Rouge!, features so many references to other movies that it's actually hard to keep up.
Mostly Australia culls from African Queen; Hugh Jackman actually appears to be wearing Humprhey Bogart's wardrobe from the John Huston film, while Nicole Kidman seems to be reading Katherine Hepburn's di
Britney Spears Celebrates “Circus” Birthday With Astonishing Performance

Four Christmases, Won Thanksgiving
Americans defied the credit crunch this weekend to make the Thanksgiving holiday ultra-boffo, as they’d probably say over at Variety. Three high-profile new releases duked it out with some strong holdovers for the top spot and, when the dust had settled, one thing was clear: Vince Vaughn > vampires.
Four Christmases, the broad Vince Vaughn-Reese Witherspoon comedy, was the undisputed champ of both the three-day and five-day frames, pulling in an estimated $31.6 million and $46.7 million respectivel

Brit-Brit put on her best non-Madonna ringleader costume and performed her new single “Circus” as well as “Womanizer” (after the jump, but it’s no different than her three European performances this weekend—same walking around and a dude getting beat up). All this fun took
