...hand, however: in recent years, bachelor-party high jinks have led to numerous Hollywood breakups. Paris Hilton accused beau Paris Lastis of cheating on her at his bachelor party - an alleged indiscretion that similarly doomed Mario Lopez and Ali Landry. Nick Lachey's reported dalliance with a porn star at a friend's party - while it was denied - sparked rumors about a rift with wife Jessica Simpson before their eventual split in 2005. And Peter Berg's dark 1998 film Very Bad Things should be required viewing for grooms-to-be about the importance of good behavior (although...
...Meanwhile, two comedy stars had nothing to smile about. Will Ferrell's Land of the Lost, which opened lamely last weekend, lost 51% of its 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...

Ferrell's latest excursion into delusions of manhood is director Brad Silberling's Land of the Lost, an action comedy with the sloppy construction and saving grace notes of the star's other movies. It's based on the Sid and Marty Krofft live-action adventure show - about a man and his son and daughter who are trapped in a time-warp landscape of dinosaurs and talking lizards - that lasted for just 43 episodes on Saturday mornings in the mid-'70s. The series is recalled fondly for its hokey acting and the aliens whose costumes had visible zippers...
...problems in health and education. But with just a year to go, only $7 billion of the additional $21.5 billion has come through - with France and Italy accounting for the bulk of the shortfall, although that could rise to about $11 billion by the end of this year. The star of the donors is Britain, which is on track to become the first G-8 country to meet the target of spending 0.7% of its national income on aid. Still, the G-8 as a whole looks unlikely to achieve its targets. (See pictures of the global financial crisis...
