Last week’s box office roundup featured three movies that garnered $20 million, which makes this week’s tally feel like an unassuming, but pleasant showing. Yes, Moneyball and Dolphin Tale are still garnering identical figures at the top of the leaderboard, but 50/50 earned back its whole budget in just its first three days at the multiplex. If Contagion stirred up a moviegoer fever, then 50/50 is a mildly throbbing tumor of success.
Well, he didn’t take our advice. Not long after Justin Bieber announced plans for a Christmas album, THG offered a number of title suggestions . Sadly, he took none of them, choosing instead the less-than-original title of… “Under the Mistletoe.” Bieber also revealed via Twitter that the CD will drop November 1 and said “this is not your normal Christmas album.” Hmmm… we know it will feature Usher , but to what else is Justin referring? Ponder that question as you enjoy your first look at the album’s cover below:

‘I had the major curl, not the Jheri curl,’ he explains on new episode, airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. By Sara Waber Jamie Foxx Photo: MTV Jamie Foxx reveals the appalling misconception of his hairdo during the ’80s on this week’s episode of “When I Was 17,” airing Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV. “When I was 17, I had the major curl, not the Jheri curl,” Foxx says. “A lot of people get it twisted and confused, and they say ‘Jheri curl.’ ” What’s the difference, you’re wondering? He explains, “I had the little curls in the front and the big ones in the back.” His friend Gilbert shares who else worked this ‘do: “I would link the major curl to women or pimps, for the most part.” But growing up in a small town in Texas, Jamie’s major curl must have helped him stand out from the crowd. “Where I grew up was Terrell, Texas, right outside of Dallas: 12,000 people, a small town where everybody knew everybody,” he says. Besides maintaining his hairdo, Foxx tells us how he spent the rest of his time when he was 17: “It was just real simple. It was about having a crush on a girl, walking her from the football stadium, holding hands. You go park, and the cops bang on the door, ‘What y’all doing?’ ” Nobody likes a flattened major curl. “When I Was 17” — this week featuring Jamie Foxx, Tia and Tamera Mowry, and Chris Bosh — airs Saturday at 11 a.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Reality is racist. Just so you know. Recently, the president gave a speech before the Congressional Black Caucus, and, as he is wont to do, he slipped into his “Hey-I’m-Black-Too” dialect. And, the Associated Press reported the actual words he used, as he used them: Stop complainin’. Stop grumblin’. Stop cryin’. And, for reporting what Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : IMAO Discovery Date : 28/09/2011 04:53 Number of articles : 2

Shayne Lamas and Nik Richie are a couple of fame whores. Even so, naming your kid Press? Almost unfathomable. But that’s not even all. The two are reportedly in talks with a management company for Press. Now. Trying to ink a deal for said unborn child to sign talent agency two months before he or she even leaves Shayne’s female parts? We’re at a loss for words. Z Group has made a formal offer to represent the baby and would receive 15 percent of whatever the kid makes in an entertainment job (down the line). That includes as a writer, editor, performer, musician artist, etc. Pretty amazing move, although we’re curious if it involves elementary school plays. Shayne, who won The Bachelor and was engaged to Matt Grant for like 12 hours, and Nik, who runs The Dirty (dot) com, married the night they met. Astoundingly, they are still together after over a year. [Photo: WENN.com]
Giving the city of Indianapolis something to cheer about amid another Colts loss, Chris Brown went down hard during a rendition of “Beautiful People” Sunday. Unlike his image, which never fully seemed to recover following the whole incident with Rihanna a few years back, Chris bounced back instantly this time. It really is pretty impressive how he falls and how quickly he goes right on with it. Keep grindin’ it out, Breezy. Keep your eye out after the three-minute mark … Chris Brown Falls in Concert
After a premiere that was overshadowed by Two and a Half Men in the ratings, Dancing With the Stars returns for its second week of competition this evening. In week one, the controversial Chaz Bono proved he’s got the confidence and personality, if not the natural talent, to stick around at least a little while this fall. Metta World Peace? Out. Chynna Phillips, J.R. Martinez and Hope Solo turned in strong performances, while Nancy Grace, Rob Kardashian and Elisabetta Canalis ended up at the bottom. Can those three rebound this week? Possibly, given a little experience and the first-week jitters out of the way. But it’ll be a tall order to top the favorites. In the middle of the pack, Ricki Lake, Kristin Cavallari, Carson Kressley and David Arquette could all make a move or fall flat. Expect a little of each. Our picks to go home this week? Rob, who acts like he doesn’t want to be there, or Nancy, who may be too polarizing to draw enough fan support. Who will win Dancing With the Stars?
