...theaters worldwide, Avatar is already the all-time No. 1 and the first picture ever to cross the $2 billion mark. Since the movie's earnings fell only 14% from last weekend's - every other returning film in this week's top 10 saw at least twice as big a drop - the Avatar avalanche will continue for another few weeks. The only dents Cameron suffered this week were to his pride: Avatar lost the top awards given out by the directors' and producers' guild to the Iraq-war drama The Hurt Locker, directed by Cameron's ex-wife Kathryn Bigelow...
...directing The Passion of the Christ, the all-time top R-rated and foreign-language film, became more notorious recently for being an off-screen road warrior. His 2006 drunk-driving conviction, and the slurs he made about Jews to the arresting officer, dented his rep and put a big question mark next to his chances for returning to the superstar class.

She soon finds one, when she takes a two-day break from the big exhibition she's preparing and goes to Rome for her sister's wedding. There she meets the groom's best friend Nick (Josh Duhamel). In rom-com terms there's something wrong with him - in that there's "nothing" wrong with him. He doesn't hate her from the start...
...often underappreciated, that will put him in the Hall of Fame. After his career stalled with the Rams, his success was explained away: his receivers were so talented and the Rams offense choreographed so beautifully by the coaches that you or I could have put up the same big numbers. Warner would catch on with the Arizona Cardinals, a joke of a franchise, only to lose his job to another heralded rookie, Matt Leinart. But party-boy Leinart wasn't ready to rescue the team, and in '07 Warner revived his career, recording his best statistical season since...
