The Buzz in the Biz
The kids sure like chocolate. Willy Wonka opens with over $55 M in gate receipts.
Kate Hudson admits to casual drug use. Really, and she is married to Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes, funny he doesn't seem like to type.
Apparently, a new book was released on Friday at midnight. It was selling ONLY 250,000 sales per hour or 6.9 M in the first day. Even allowing for deep discounts on the $29.99 release, "Half-Blood Prince" still easily generated more than $100 million in revenue. Rowling's take, a cool $36 M.
Sandra Bullock wed Jesse James, not the outlaw, but the star of the Discovery Channel series Monster Garage in a sunset ceremony Saturday at a ranch north of Santa Barbara. Her first marriage, his third - including a marriage to porn star Janine Lindemulder.
