...scare it away. But Brüno had the weekend contours of a gross-out horror movie: the fanboys rush in on Thursday night and Friday, severely depleting the universe of potential customers. Chalk that up to word-of-mouth, viral and virulent. "If you're tweeting," marketing consultant Gordon Paddison told Sharon Waxman of the Wrap, "and people are catching that live and they're out at drinks and were planning on seeing the movie tomorrow - that hurts...

...supposedly engaging in the hacking. MP John Whittingdale, the Conservative chair of the Commons culture select committee, said it was "highly likely" that Coulson would be asked to testify in the committee's investigation into whether News of the World executives knew how its journalists were operating. Prime Minister Gordon Brown mentioned the allegations during a press conference at the G-8 summit in L'Aquila, Italy: "I think this raises questions that are serious and will obviously have to be considered, but I understand that the police are looking at a statement later today, and I do not think...
