Some entertainment updates. Things start to bore down with expected results again. Had a first listen to Evanescence's latest offer, The Open Door. Guess I'm never into alternative rock. So, the album is halfbad. No, it's really bad. Only 1 or 2 tracks are worth listening. An album which I wouldn't like. Sorry.

Movies update: The Grudge 2 opened at no. 1 in North America last weekend with a weak $22 million or so. I'm not keen in watching it, just because the vampire slayer, Sarah Michelle Gellar had only a short appearance at the beginning of the movie before being replaced by a less popular actress (Amber Tamblyn). Other new wide opening movies include Man of the Year (no. 3) and The Marine (no. 6)[source].

Music update: In the States, Evanescence rocked the Billboard 200 with their comeback album, The Open Door, zooming past other several new releases to the top of the album chart. Meanwhile, Americans are still feeling Justin's sexiness. The same trend also applies to the United World Chart, sadly. [source][source]

Only a few showbiz news I collected over the weekend:
1) Shakira does charity! [source]
2) Talk about karma. She's awaded a lofty 5 awards in Mexico! [source]
3) Now, skipping to Paris Hilton, another extablished star is defending her after Baby Jane! [source]
4) Touching on that, NP is teaming up again for Simple Life 5! [source]
