...but not enough to knock The Dark Knight or Spider-Man 3 out of the two top spots!

New Moon took in an estimated $140.7 million at the domestic box office this weekend, falling behind The Dark Knight with 158.4 mil and Spider-Man 3 with $151.1 mil. It did bump POTC: Dead Man's Chest (with $135.6 mil) out of the third spot.

Now obviously, this is amaze. Props to everyone involved! That being said, we're a little surprised. Why?

Because New Moon's first midnight runs ($26.3 mil) and full Friday runs ($72.7 mil) both beat out The Dark Knight's numbers... so how come this didn't continue throughout the weekend?

So many questions!

And I must admit, the guy looks pretty damn good! Okay, maybe he didn't show the full package, but she showed a lot!

Levi Johnston might not be the smartest kid on the block, but he could be one of the most attractive! Oh, and click below the cut to see Levi's backside... you know you want to!

Action star turned, uh, governor Arnold Schwarzenegger took his son Patrick out to Barneys in Beverly Hills over the weekend for a little shopping - aw, we rarely see this father/son duo out and about!

The kid turned 16 this year, and he's so adorable! Wonder if we'll see him out and about Hollywood soon. And you know he's excited to drive one of his dad's muscle cars!

Earlier we spotted Ahnold looking all comfy and casual with wife Maria in Brentwood grabbing coffee together:



Two cute!

Aw, and it looks like the little girl got scared. Poor thing!

Katie Holmes and co. are back in NYC while hubby Tom Cruise films Knight & Day in Austria, and so she and daughter Suri took in a showing of The Lion King last night. Hmm, maybe they should've seen Mamma Mia! instead!

What! This is one of my fave new shows. And it's a hit for ABC! WTF?

Apparently, production for Courteney Cox's sexy/funny new show Cougar Town has come to a halt... because of Court, herself.

ABC has this to say: "We can confirm production on Cougar Town has been temporarily shut down in order for Courteney to deal with a private family matter."

Hmm, kinda random, right? Hope everything is okay with Cox and her fam though! It must be a pretty big deal if they had to stop the show completely for a while...

And then some!

Last night I caught a screening of New Moon here in Hollywood, and while the film hasn't been getting the best reviews, I loved it and I thought it was everything it needed to be.

Of course, the chemistry between Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart was electric from the start, but Taylor Lautner definitely had the surprise card up his sleeve! Half of the audience squealed with delight upon the first sighting of Jacob Black's chiseled abs, and the response was equally as deafening when we caught a glimpse of Edward Cullen's sparkly goodness a little bit later.

While there wasn't nearly enough Edward in New Moon, there was a reason for that and I definitely felt Bella's pain when she pined for her lover. Speaking of Bella, can I just say how gorgeous Kristen looked? She wore very minimal makeup, and there are numerous scenes where she's supposed to be worn out and depressed, yet she still looked stunning! It's easy to see why Rob can't keep his hands off of her, and I'm happy to report that there was a lot more smooching between the lovebirds in this installment of the Twilight franchise.

So what else did I love? Dakota Fanning was a fantastic and deliciously evil Jane Volturi, and Michael Sheen's take on Aro Volturi was just as impressive. Ashley Greene's Alice is the vampire I'd most like to be friends with, and I'm going to download the soundtrack as soon as I'm done writing this blog. Yeah, it was that good!

So what's NOT to love about the movie? For one, the CGI on the wolves was a bit laughable, but if you're a true Twilover and you're caught up in the movie, it almost doesn't even matter. The plot took off rather rapidly during the third act, and there were a few points where the dialogue made me cringe, but that happens with just about every movie so I'm not going to get too picky. New Moon isn't supposed to be an Oscar contender, it's supposed to be a huge blockbuster with a die hard fan following. If its midnight ticket sales on Thursday are any indication of the numbers it's going to pull this weekend, it's safe to say that this is THE biggest movie of the year. Nice work, guys. I give it a B-plus.

UPDATE!
New Moon has broken the record for highest opening-day gross ever! Summit Entertainment is reporting that New Moon earned $72.7 million on Friday, topping The Dark Knight’s previous record of $67.2 million.

More work-related trouble for Lindsay Lohan!

After the 23-year-old starlet tried to make off with $15,000 worth of goodies at Kitson last week, it looks like the high end retailer has Lindsay on their naughty list, as they seem to be hinting at pulling her overpriced leggings from the store!

A rep for Kitson told Fox's Poptarts:

“We're actually really offended. The tables have turned and now we're the customer. We spent $50,000 on her leggings line, but she hasn't come to the store in three years, and she didn't even do a personal appearance. She should have brought cookies for the staff to thank them for selling her leggings because she does nothing. We don't know if we'll continue to carry them.”

Burn! I'm sure Lindsay could find other ways to hawk her product, but that's a huge slap in the face! These days it seems like nobody wants anything to do with her...so what can she do to change that? And how long will it take her to earn back the respect she once had in this town?

...she wears sweatpants!

Sure, they're paired with a sorta vampy looking leather jacket, but clearly this girl has a sensible side hidden under her peroxided, tough girl exterior! Maybe that's why Kanye loves her?
