...even the top live-action comedy about a non-American who has sex with a man: it finished behind The Proposal, which has been in theaters three weeks longer. (The Sandra Bullock movie was buoyed Friday by screenings in auditoriums also showing sneak previews of next weekend's Katherine Heigl rom-com The Ugly Truth.)

Brüno, The Hangover and The Proposal finished within $100,000 of one another, according to industry estimates. Monday's final figures could...

One of her reasons for leaving was to prevent Jeffs from marrying her daughter - nine of Merrill Jessop's daughters are believed to be married to Jeffs, according to experts who study the sect. Other names bandied about as the potential next Prophet include Jeffs' brother Isaac and even another Jessop - William Roy Jessop. The Utah dossiers...
