...completely lucky and spoiled growing up. I was able to catch the tail end of John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors and lived through the golden age of American tennis with Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras and Jim Courier and Michael Chang. Even cooler than that, I've been able to establish a relationship with most of them. I'm glad that I had those guys to look...

...Runner-up for the second weekend in a row, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince stanched its 62% dive last weekend with a more modest 40% tail-off, mostly owing to the adding of 161 IMAX screens, where the price of admission is much steeper. Of the two sophomore entries, G-Force, Jerry Bruckheimer's locked-and-loaded version of Alvin and the Chipmunks, came in third with $17.1 million, and The Ugly Truth, Katherine Heigl's R-rated tryst with Gerard Butler, plunged 53% to amass $13 million.
