HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 13, 2000 -- "Meet the Parents" and "Remember the Titans" took the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively, last week. And guess what, the smart bets are that they’ll remain in those positions again this week. "’Meet the Parents’ and 'Remember the Titans' are going to be the top two films again," Brandon Gray of boxofficemojo.com told Hollywood.com. "’Meet’ had a stunning opening. Even if it takes a hit, it is still going to make a sizable amount. The film has the momentum right now, and it’s clearly the top movie." As for "Remember the Titans," Gray predicts that it’ll stick to the runner-up slot again this week for the simple fact that it is a crowd-pleasing film, meaning that it makes people feel all warm and fuzzy. But if you’ve already seen the above two films, there are other choices out there. Here’s a glimpse at the films opening this w

You do your job regardless of who broke the law," prosecutor said. "It's not the breaker," he said.

The music video channel required the band to slice and dice a few scenes from the video for their single "Original Prankster" before it could be aired.

We talk about marriage, but we can’t decide whether it’s something that’s necessary.” Ritchie, 31, gave Madonna the rock on the day she came home with new baby Rocco, also the same day as Madonna’s 42nd birthday.

Springfield, 51, was arrested last month after police were called to his Malibu, Calif., home and found swelling and scratch marks on his wife's face and arms. But since then, his wife and sister, who originally pressed charges, have changed their story, so now the charges have been dropped because of insufficient evidence, the District Attorney's Office said Tuesday. "The case is not provable because the only evidence that the victim was assaulted is the hearsay statement made to her sister. ... The victim is nondesirous of prosecution and refuses to be interviewed further," prosecutors said in a report. Springfield on the nigh

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 10, 2000 -- George Clooney impersonating Sinatra in Vegas? Almost. According to Daily Variety, the ex-"ER" do-gooder has inked a deal to star in the remake of "Ocean's Eleven," the 1960 Las Vegas heist flick that starred Frank Sinatra and his Rat Pack brethren (Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop).

Some private celebrations got so outrageous, so out there, so out of hand, the bashes made the papers. Or the courts.So Hollywood folks know how to party off screen. But what about on screen? As we count down and ring-a-ding-ding in a new century, let's see what the movies have had to say about partying time and raising h
Hollywood is expecting Warner Bros. and Castle Rock Entertainment's opening of "The Green Mile" to walk off with the most box office green this weekend. The R-rated drama, written and directed by Frank Darabont and starring Tom Hanks, kicks off at more than 2,850 theaters. "'Toy Story [2],' if it's down in the neighborhood of 35-40%, is $16-18 million. And I think 'Green Mile' beats that based on the tracking. They're sitting there with an 18% first choice right now," one studio executive said earlier this week." "It is high," he said of the tracking results. "Although I understand the reviews are not very good, with Tom Hanks (starring), that's $20 million-plus." While a $20 million-plus opening is certainly very attractive, it's not spectacular. One of the factors working against a bigger first weekend for the adult appeal "Green" is that adults are bu
