Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is on target to be the largest Wednesday midnight opening ever, with $20M in ticket sales.  The record was previously held by Dark Knight with an $18M open.  It’s been two years since Harry Potter fans got their fix.  Order of the Phoenix opened in 2007, also with a Wednesday midnight opening, and brought in $12M. 

Did any of you go see it?  Thoughts?  Reviews?

UPDATE:  Looks like it’s more like $22M.

I’m highly suspicious of a couple, any couple, when one or both of them spend all their time talking about how much intercourse they have.  I think people who are truly happy together don’t have to constantly be telling everyone how truly happy they are.  Will and Jada Smith are always talking about how they keep their marriage alive by doing it at their friends’ houses and now Jada is back on the Too Damn Much Information plan, by talking about their pre-Oscar tryst with Shape magazine:

“When you have three kids, you’ve got to take your opportunities when they come. In a limo, on the way to the Academy Awards this year, Will started looking at me in this way that drives me wild. We started kissing passionately, and the next thing I knew, well, let’s just say we missed the red carpet and I ended up with almost no makeup on.”

God, it’s just so much more than I ever needed to know about those two.  Of course, I’ve inspected all the Oscar night pictures and I don’t think they look all that sexed up.  Examples in the gallery for your inspection.

I find these condescending — “Show your kids that you’ve still got it” — screechy little non-talents absolutely offensive in trying to attempt any Neil Diamond song.  That’s how I feel.  I’m not changing my mind.  Ever.

It looks like Renee Zellweger can start eating again!  Bridget Jones 3is in the works, with filming expected to start at the end of the year.  Whenever a Bridget Jones movie is released, the media talks about how much weight Zellweger gained for the role.  Is it my imagination, or does “fat” Renee just look like a totally normal, healthy person?  I’m curious to see if Zellweger ballooning to a size 10 puts the nail in the coffin of her new relationship with my ex-fiance Bradley Cooper.  I don’t know how he feels about fat chicks.

Anyway, this installment is going to focus on Bridget’s attempts to get pregnant, undoubtedly with madcap adventures and overeating along the way.

Yes, yes, I am aware how awful the photo on this post is, but at least it’s authentic!  After seeing the first episode of Comedy Central’s new show Michael and Michael Have Issues (or MMHI) at the screening on Monday night in NYC, my sister Sierra decided to take a picture of Michael Ian Black’s face as he was trying to exit the room.  His response?  “Wow, that wasn’t obnoxious at all.  You’re tall.  I’m not hitting on you, you’re just tall.” [Ed: Sierra is approximately 5'12"] We had a great time and really enjoyed the free peanut M&M’s (personally, I ate 3 bags) and Sam Adams beer (impossible to count how many I had of those . . . .).

The show is actually really hilarious.  It consists of short sketches and live stand-up comedy performed and written by comedians Michael Ian Black and Michael Showalter.  The comedic duo keeps us laughing with their serious karate moves and fake movie previews.   The premier is tonight, Wednesday July 15th, at 10:30 pm/9:30 central and I highly recommend you tune in!  Seriously people, when did Ian Black ever let you down?  RIP Best Week Ever.

Robert Redford and his long-time girlfriend — are you really boyfriend and girlfriend when you are 71 years old and 51 years old, respectively? — married over the weekend in Germany.  The ceremony took place in Hamburg at the Louis C. Jacob Hotel with 30 guests in attendance.

Redford’s new wife is Sibylle Szaggars, a German abstract artist with an international following, that he met in 1996.  This is his second marriage.  Robert was married for 27 years to film director Lola Van Wagenen until their divorce in 1985.

Congratulations to the happy couple!
