BIGGEST OPENING WEEKEND EVER ($168.55m)
BIGGEST SINGLE DAY EVER ($92.1m)
BIGGEST MIDNIGHT GROSS EVER ($43.5m)
IMAX RECORDS - $15.5m Domestically & $23.5m Globally!

As fueled by the franchise first of 3-D and the ever-present and essential IMAX boost, the potential for record-breaking midnight screenings that will ignite one of the biggest opening day and debut weekend grosses in history is in the cards as Harry casts his spell over the box office.

Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy Name New Son

Kate Hudson and Matt Bellamy didn't immediately name their new son once he was born, which part of me kinda gets because my parents didn't name me immediately after I was born (I had nicknames, though!). But it also makes sense to me that parents would want to meet their kid and observe his behavior before assigning an identity to him that might conflict with his actual identity. Does that make sense? I guess I'm trying to say that when you have a kid, you don't want to give him a name that doesn't represent his personality, right? So how to get to know your kid's personality? You spend time with him, obviously! And so after a few days of hanging out with their new baby, parents Kate Hudson and Matthew Bellamy have finally chosen a name for their son: Bingham 'Bing' Hawn Bellamy. Speculation as to what kind of behavior little Bing exhibited to make his parents assign him this epithet will not take place at this time.

Lady Gaga's YouTube Page Suspended

Little monsters everywhere cried out in horror and outrage when they discovered that Lady Gaga's YouTube page has been suspended.  That's right, if you were to go to the singer's account on the site you would find the words “This account has been suspended due to multiple or severe violations of YouTube’s Copyright Policy.”  What is the meaning of this?!  And more importantly -- who do we point the finger at? 

Apparently the account suspension is due to a recent performance Gaga had on Japanese TV.  Reports are claiming that the account was put on ice because the Born This Way diva posted her performance on Fuji TV’s SMAP x SMAP, without proper permission which is a huge legal faux pas.  This inevitably led to Media Interactive Inc. requesting the footage be taken down on Tuesday due to copyright infringement.  In the performance Gaga sings several cuts from her latest album, Born This Way.  So far the Mother Monster about the YouTube suspension, but did tweet about her excitement for the SMAP show saying, “My performance+cooking show appearance on SMAP SMAP is airing now in Japan. Kawaii Monsters!”  Let's hope that this all gets cleared up so Gaga's account can be back and running -- I need my daily dose of Gaga.  While most of the world loves the singer, she may not be getting any more offers to perform in Japan after this whole debacle -- Sayonara Gaga!

Jesicca Parker

Many people consider Jesicca Parker o be the official ambassador to New York City because of how much her character of Carrie Bradshaw on Sex and The City.championed it. But it turns out, SJP isn't really as glued to Manhattan as we'd like to think she is.As we previously stated , she appears on the cover of Vogue's "Age" issue, and in addition to talking about her and husbandMatthew Broderick's parenting styles, she also revealed how the two of them have even considered leaving New York because they thought it would be easier to raise a family in an area that's more secluded and more respectful of their celebrity statuses.

She said, "The paparazzi follow every move I make until I'm back inside the house. You do start to understand the behind-the-gate mentality, the getting in the car in your driveway. But I can't imagine living in seclusion. We flirted with [moving out of New York]. We went outside the city and troubled all these realtors and stood in these homes and fantasized, and then I kept picturing nine o'clock at night and...
