The Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks hold a combined record of 7-17. So you can forgive fans of both teams if they weren’t especially excited about the game between these two underachieving Eastern Conference foes last week. Fortunately, one young fan and one talented usher came through to save the day. Watch now as the Detroit Dance Cam first captures a kid doing the robot and a few other impressive moves… then pans to an usher who matches him… and then goes back to the kid for a rebuttal. Who wins this epic dance-off? Decide now! Pistons Fan vs. Usher: Dance-Off!
The odds were very much in the favor of Catching Fire this weekend, as the well-reviewed Hunger Games sequel earned $161.1 million over the pre-Thanksgiving weekend. That’s a November box office record. The Jennifer Lawrence -anchored blockbuster beat the $152.5 million opening of its predecessor and out-earned the previous November champion, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, by about $20 million. Forget November, though. Only three films have EVER opened with better number than Catching Fire. They are:The Avengers ($207.4 million), Iron Man 3 ($174.1 million) and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 ($169.2 million). If current estimates hold, Catching Fire will bring down The Dark Knight Rises as the largest 2-D opening of all-time. And it deserves it, folks. What a terrific movie. Here’s a look at the weekend’s Top 5 money makers: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire – $161.1 million Thor: The Dark World – $14.1 million The Best Man Holiday – $12.5 million Delivery Man – $8.2 million Free Birds – $5.3 million
Don’t expect any nudity in the PG-13 release of Hunger Games: Catching Fire , the best you’ll get is Jennifer Lawrence in her skintight Hunger Games outfit. You’re better off staying home and starting a skinferno with Jennifer Lawrence in sexy blue body paint from X-Men: First Class, or catching up with her new co-star Jena Malone ’s T&A in 2009’s The Messenger . If you’re a fan of vintage vixens you’ll do much better with the limited release of Bettie Page Reveals All (2013), a documentary revealing rare and never-before-seen nude photos from the queen of all pin-ups! More after the jump!
What do Jennifer Lawrence and Miley Cyrus have in common? Liam Hemsworth . And this fantastic parody-mashup of the JLaw-Hemsworth flick Catching Fire and Miley’s song about her split from Gayle himself. Man, this is weirder than we thought. And awesome. Weird but awesome. Yeah, let’s go with that. Cheekily titled “Reaping Ball,” the video rewrites the Miley song and video. If you ask me, this one’s even better than the original (if only because of Peeta and Katniss). Enjoy! Catching Fire Miley Cyrus Style
No, this isn’t Courtney Stodden’s younger sister, it’s transgender porn star Kimber James filming scenes for some new reality show. But I can understand if you got confused for a minute there. To be fair, there’s a lot that’s confusing about these pictures. For instance, if a porn star like Kimber can do reality TV, why hasn’t a reality star like Courtney gone into porn yet? » view all 33 photos Photos: WENN.com
So in case you couldn’t hear the tweens screaming all the way from LA, it was the premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire last night. Normally I wouldn’t care, since I’m not a teenage girl, but these movies always manage to deliver some red carpet hotness for the rest of us. First it was Jennifer Lawrence’s epic sideboob , then my favorite hottie-in-training Sarah Hyland . And Sarah’s looking pretty cute here, but she’d better sex it up soon, because her cuteness is going to run out eventually. It’s time to take off those training wheels and let those puppies run free. » view all 21 photos Photos: WENN.com
Liam Hemsworth is up for grabs, ladies. The Hunger Games: Catching Fire star admitted while promoting the movie that he is in fact single these days. Despite reports linking him to Mexican actress and singer Eiza Gonzalez, who he was seen kissing outside his home in September, he’s available. On the subject of cooking, and asked whether he bakes for his lady, Liam said, “I don’t have a lady at the moment, but I have baked for ladies in the past.” Hemsworth, 23, ended his engagement with Miley Cyrus , 20, this fall. It seems like a distant memory now, but amazingly, Miley and Liam Hemsworth were together for about four years and engaged for one of them. Despite all the drama surrounding their breakup, and her recent transformation of sorts, Liam notes that “I’m extremely happy for all of her success.” As for Miley Cyrus, she told Ellen last month that she’s happier than ever. “I think people spend more time actually thinking about it than I really do,” she said of the oft-publicized tension and split with her Australian fiance. “I believe when a chapter is done, you close it and start that new one.” “That’s kind of where I am right now. I felt like I have so much to be thankful for at this time that my energy hasn’t really been focused on that.” All’s well that ends well … unless you’re Eiza Gonzalez ?
