Amanda Bynes has apparently set a personal weight loss goal. Apparently it’s also an ambitious and borderline unsafe one. The troubled 26-year-old says that since she moved to New York from Los Angeles last year, she’s dropped four pounds , falling from 125 to 121. Now the 5’8″ actress says she only has 21 to go! According to various indexes, a 5’8″ woman should hit a target weight of about 131-161 pounds, meaning she may already be flirting with being too thin. After another 20 pounds? Bynes, who was recently evicted from her NYC apartment , is undeterred. She recently took to Instagram to discuss her diet, posting a photo of her legs. “Losing weight is hard to do!” Amanda Bynes opined, in what was some of the least bizarre behavior she’s shown in months. “I love jeans with sexy holes.” Don’t we all. NOTE : If Bynes is determined to hit this goal, allow us to recommend a healthy way to do so. Do not starve yourself, Amanda. Do not binge and purge. But do try this tomato soup recipe ! It’s hearty AND healthy!

With Justin Bieber smoking weed making all the headlines this week, another major development in this singer’s life has practically gone unnoticed: He and Selena Gomez have broken up again. And sources tell Us Weekly this time, the split will stick. Bieber and Gomez cut their vacation short in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico around New Year’s because they had a “huge fight,” an insider tells this tabloid, adding ominously: “Selena won’t forgive him.” It’s unclear what caused the argument, but Selena spent December 31 with friends in Los Angeles, while Bieber rang in 2013 with Lil Twist , reportedly flirting with girls and, as we all know, smoking some pot a couple days later. But Justin is “really down about the breakup,” a source admits, though that doesn’t mean he’ll get another chance: “Selena is done with him.” Sad stuff. But at least Bieber knows how to make his mood to from low to high… if you know what we mean!

BAFTA Nominations: Lincoln Leads the Way

Quentin Tarantino and David O. Russell were edged out of the pack in today’s Directors Guild Award nominations announcement, giving way to a rather conservative quintet of Oscar hopefuls. So let the DGA backlash begin: Between Ben Affleck ( Argo ), Kathryn Bigelow ( Zero Dark Thirty ), Steven Spielberg ( Lincoln ), Tom Hooper ( Les Miserables ), Ang Lee ( Life of Pi ), which nominee should have gotten the shaft to make the DGA race even remotely interesting? Ben Affleck & Argo : A solid pick and, before ZDT came in and stole its thunder, the crowd-pleasing (and Hollywood ego-boosting) Middle Eastern true story political potboiler of choice. Kathryn Bigelow & Zero Dark Thirty : I mean, obviously . Steven Spielberg & Lincoln : It’s three-time DGA winner Spielberg’s eleventh DGA nod. Let’s face it, this was a gimme. Ang Lee & Life of Pi : Let’s think for a minute on how Quentin Tarantino was not nominated for the much better, much ballsier Django Unchained (even including David O. Russell’s solid rom-com Silver Linings Playbook would have suggested the DGA had more of a pulse), but — sigh — it makes complete, safe sense that Lee’s breathtaking 3-D CG work earned snaps from this guild. Tom Hooper & Les Miserables : The bigger WTF: Tom Hooper’s Tom Hooperness bamboozled the DGA. I blame Claude-Michel Schönberg’s music and Anne Hathaway’s tears for why the DGA nominated one of the worst directing jobs of the 2012 awards season. What say you, Movieliners?

No surprise, it was a Hobbit weekend with the title, accounting for over half of the overall box office and even setting a December record. It did not match the highest estimates of some box office prognosticators, but nevertheless a solid showing considering its expectations. The top 10 grossed over $122.6 million. 1. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Gross: $84,775,000 Screens: 4,045 (PSA: $20,958) Week: 1 As expected, Middle Earth proved highly lucrative at the box office, even setting a December record. With 4,045 theaters, The Hobbit ‘s gross outpaced the previous December record-holder, I Am Legend with $77.2 million. It also performed above the start of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King at $73.3 million. Still, the Lord of the Rings prequel did not match the lofty expectations of $100 million some had predicted. The feature accounted for over half of the b.o. over the weekend. 2. Rise of the Guardians Gross: $7,420,000 (Cume: $71,361,823) Screens: 3,387 (PSA: $2,191) Week: 4 (Change: – 28.7%) Rise of the Guardians placed second again and the title only fell about 29% maintaining momentum that should continue with its holiday theme. The pic will have to contend with a number of new releases headed to theaters between now and Christmas, so reaching the $100 million mark may still be tough. 3. Lincoln Gross: $7,244,000 (Cume: $107,898,000) Screens: 2,285 (PSA: 3,170) Week: 6 (Change: – 18.8%) After its big Golden Globe nomination haul, Steven Spielberg’s pic on the 16th U.S. President held strong, only dropping under 19% as the title added 271 theaters. Among the Oscar contenders, it is the highest grossing, at nearly $107.9 million, ahead of Argo ‘s $104.9 million. 4. Skyfall Gross: $7 million (Cume: $272,366,000) Screens: 2,924 (PSA: $2,394) Week: 6 (Change: – 35.1%) The latest Bond hit number one last weekend in a generally slow box office, but displayed bravado nonetheless. The pic continued to show strength over the weekend, placing fourth in its sixth week with only a 35% drop despite losing 477 theaters from the previous week. 5. Life of Pi Gross: $5.4 million (Cume: $69,559,406) Screens: 2,548 (PSA: $2,119) Week: 4 (Change: – 35.2%) Ang Lee’s 3-D spectacle held decently with a 35% drop as it lost 398 theaters over the previous weekend. Life of Pi again placed 5th in the box office rankings and it continues to be a tiger at the box office overseas where it has grossed an additional $128.5 million. Still it will have a tough time hitting $100 million domestically. 6. Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 Gross: $5,175,000 (Cume: $276,865,000) Screens: 3,042 (PSA: $1,701) Week: 5 (Change: – 43.5%) The Twilight finale lost 604 theaters in its 5th weekend, placing sixth on the chart, dropping three spots from the previous weekend. Worldwide it has grossed a cool $778,265,000 worldwide. 7. Wreck-It Ralph Gross: $3,273,000 (Cume: $168,779,000) Screens: 2,249 (PSA: $1,455) Week: 7 (Change: – 32.6%) In its seventh weekend of release, the animated Disney pic only dropped 32.6 per cent after losing 497 theaters. It again placed seventh in the chart. Abroad the pic has cumed $57.7 million. 8. Playing for Keeps Gross: $3,247,000 (Cume: $10,838,092) Screens: 2,840 (PSA: $1,143) Week: 2 (Change: – 43.5%) Opening in sixth place, the pic added three venues and dropped two slots to eighth. The pic will struggle to stay in the top 10 and will likely not stay in theaters in a significant way as new offerings open. 9. Red Dawn Gross: $2,394,000 (Cume: $40,889,423) Screens: 2,250 (PSA: $1,064) Week: 4 (Change: – 43.5%) One month out, Red Dawn lost 504 theaters and dropped one spot to 9th place. The pic will struggle to pass $45 million domestically which marks a likely loss considering its $65 million production budget. 10. Silver Linings Playbook Gross: $2,084,000 (Cume: $16,954,049 Screens: 371 (PSA: $5,617) Week: 5 (Change: – 4%) The Oscar hopeful broke the top 10 after flirting with it for a number of weeks. The feature is in comparatively far fewer theaters than its other top 10 brethren and its $5,617 per screen average is only outpaced by The Hobbit , which bowed this weekend. After dropping nearly 30% in each of the last couple weeks, the film only fell a very slight 4% this weekend, showing the title has some solid footing as it heads into the thick of the holidays and a wider expansion likely in the New Year.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid Dog Days to Django Unchained ; The First Time to Flight ; Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted to Magic Mike ; 17 Girls to The Sessions … They’re all on the official list , so don’t count out the non-elite not making Awards headlines.
