Olivia Wilde’s Rack-tion Speaks Louder than "The Words"

Not nude in theaters, Olivia Wilde co-stars in The Words . But you can take my word for it– her topless scene in Alpha Dog (2006) is worth a thousand Words . New on Blu-ray, Irinia Voronina is fantastically nude fish food in Piranha 3DD (2012) , and How to Make it in America may have been canceled, but Lake Bell’s topless scene in Season Two will live forever thanks to a new Blu-ray release.

On The Come Up: Michael Strahan’s Debut On “Live With Kelly And Michael” Sends Ratings Up 44%!!

Might cozy there guys… Michael Strahan’s “Live” Debut Boosts Ratings 44% Michael Strahan’s debut alongside Kelly Ripa on ABC’s syndicated TV program “Live With Kelly and Michael” boosted the audience by 44 percent from a year ago. Yesterday’s show with the former New York Giants football player as co-host was the most-watched daytime program in 14 of the top 15 television markets, Walt Disney Co. (DIS)’s ABC said in a e-mailed statement, citing preliminary Nielsen ratings. ABC tapped Strahan as the permanent replacement for Regis Philbin, who retired from the show in 2011. The program had relied on guest hosts for the last nine months. Strahan, who played with the Giants for 15 years culminating with a 2008 Super Bowl victory, will continue as an on-air commentator of “Fox NFL Sunday.” Produced by Disney’s WABC-TV in New York, the number of viewers who watched the program in that market more than doubled from September 2011, and was more than twice that of its nearest competitor, NBC’s “Today” show, according to the statement. Disney, based in Burbank, California, climbed 3 percent to $51.16 at 1:15 p.m. in New York trading. The stock had gained 32 percent this year through yesterday. Congrats to Michael and Kelly (that sounded like the just had a kid together), it’s a beautiful day in America when a swirly morning show tag-team can get the people excited.

The Possession And Lawless Top Labor Day Box Office

Two newcomers, The Possession and Lawless topped the overall box office over Labor Day weekend, ending a summer that ended with not much of a bang. Overall, the Summer theatrical season fell nearly 3% from last year, winding up at $4.275 billion (vs $4.4 billion). The Expendables 2 , which had topped the box office for two weekends, made a landing in the third spot with only slightly less screens. Today’s grosses reflect a Friday through Monday Labor Day weekend numbers. The per cent change in revenue vs. the previous weekend only considers Friday – Sunday numbers. 1. The Possession Gross: $21.3 million Screens: 2,816 (PSA: $7,564) Week: 1 The end of the unofficial summer period proved softer than the beginning, though Lionsgate’s The Possession ended The Expendables 2 two-week reign atop the box office with a solid $21.3 million opener over the Friday through Monday Labor Day weekend. Last year, late summer arrivals Rise of the Planet of the Apes and The Help gave an end of season push with those two films alone grossing $286.8 million to the 2011 summer box office through Labor Day. 2. Lawless Gross: $13 million (Cume: $15.14 million – Wed. opening) Screens: 2,888 (PSA: $4,501) Week: 1 The Weinstein Company opted for a wide roll out of John Hillcoat’s Cannes crime drama Lawless . Still with a bevy of stars including Shia LaBeouf, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hardy, Guy Pearce and Gary Oldman, the box office results weren’t particularly spectacular. 3. The Expendables 2 Gross: $11.2 million (Cume: $68.559 million) Screens: 3,334 (PSA: $3,359) Week: 3 (Change: – 34% vs three day gross of $8.9 million) After two weeks at number one, Expendables 2 skidded to the number three spot in its third weekend. The Friday – Sunday gross came in at $8.9 million for a 34% overall decline for the same days the previous weekend. The pic remained in nearly the same number of theaters vs. one week prior, which stood at 3,355 though the decline in screens likely indicates the title has piqued. 4. The Bourne Legacy Gross: $9,377,345 (Cume $98,375,785) Screens: 3,131 (PSA: $2,995) Week: 4 (Change: – 22% vs three day gross of $7,326,540) The Bourne Legacy settled at number four over Labor Day weekend after placing second the previous weekend. The Universal release lost 523 theaters though its screen average actually jumped over the previous week to $2,995 from $2,540 and its overall revenue drop was only 22% (in a straight Friday – Sunday comparison) despite the fairly steep loss of venues. 5. Paranorman (3-D, Animation) Gross: $8,817,758 (Cume: $40,292,002) Screens: 3,085 (PSA: $2,858) Week: 3 (Change: – 24% vs three day gross of $6,550,735) Paranorman lost 370 screens Labor Day weekend, but also saw its screen average rise to $2,858 over the previous weekend’s $2,473. In a straight Friday – Sunday comparison, the title was only down 24% from the previous Friday – Sunday gross, not bad considering the decline in capacity. 6. The Odd Life of Timothy Green Gross: $8.502 million (Cume: $38.38 million) Screens: 2,635 (PSA: $3,227) Week: 3 (Change: – 12% vs three day gross of $6,249,000) Disney’s The Odd Life of Timothy Green held steady in the sixth position in its third weekend. The title added 37 locations and its Friday – Sunday revenue dropped only 12% from the previous Friday – Sunday period. 7. The Dark Knight Rises Gross: $7.93 million (Cume: $433,246,000) Screens: 2,187 (PSA: $3,626) Week: 7 (Change: – 16% vs three day gross of $6.1 million) 8. 2016: Obama’s America Gross: $7,086,686 (Cume: $20,253,719) Screens: 1,747 (PSA: $4,056) Week: 8 (Change: – 14% vs three day gross of $5,586,686) The anti-Obama doc took on a good amount of extra capacity over the holiday weekend, adding 656 theaters. It’s overall Friday – Sunday gross dropped 14% from the previous week. The title has now grossed more than Michael Moore’s previous effort, Capitalism: A Love Story , which totaled $14,363,397 domestically. 9. The Campaign Gross: $7.02 million (Cume: $74,597,000) Screens: 2,941 (PSA: $2,387) Week: 4 (Change: – 24% vs three day gross of $5,665,000) The comedy dropped from fourth to ninth place in its fourth weekend, also losing 361 locations over the prior week. 10. Hope Springs Gross: $6 million (Cume: $53,357,000) Screens: 2,441 (PSA: $2,458) Week: 4 (Change: – 18% vs three day gross of $4.7 million) Hope Springs landed in the top 10 over Labor Day weekend after placing ninth last week.

Phoebe Price Ridiculous in Staged Bikini Pics she Pays For of the Day

Phoebe Price may be the devil…she may be all that is wrong with America…you know some bitch who inherited a ton of money from her daddy and ran to Hollywood with it to live the celebrity life, pay the paparazzi to follow her, end up on blogs and feel fulfilled as a person, but really that’s far more interesting to me, than seeing these other spoiled brat cunts, obssessed with their social circles and social clubs, with their garden parties and adulturous Soap Opera lives, that end with mental institutions, cocaine overdoses, and young boy toys taken them for all they are worth…because dreams of Hollywood and getting on blogs shows serious insecurities and attention seeking well into her 50s that make her fun to laugh at. Seriously, this bitch could be anywhere but this is what she chooses….weird. I DON’T HAVE THE RIGHT TO POST THESE BIKINI PICS SO TO SEE THEM: FOLLOW THIS LINK
