...business this frame; it's as if there were an Internet whispering campaign that all the Land of the Lost theaters were swine-flu venues. Opening the same day as The Hangover, the Ferrell film has taken in just a third of its revenue. As for Eddie Murphy's kid-friendly Imagine That, it earned better reviews than his 2008 Dave did - for Eddie, mixed is raves - but registered about the same pathetic first weekend gross: $5.7 million. Next stop for the reigning star of '80s and '90s comedy: dinner theater...

"The tabloid media glommed onto the name Foxy Knoxy," Bremner says, referring to the moniker that peppers news coverage and that suggests that Knox had given herself the nickname in reference to her sexual proclivities. "It referred to playing soccer in Seattle as a kid," Bremner says. She and other Knox supporters draw a very different picture of the Seattle native: an athletic, hardworking student, now 21, who maintained three jobs while studying at the University of Washington to be able to afford to study abroad; a lover of the outdoors who cherished hiking...
