The virgin vampire rules!

Twilight has clinched this weekend's #1 box office spot in Uh-me-ri-ca!

Friday's estimates of a $70 million debut turned out to be right on target.

Congrats to creator Stephanie Meyer and breakout star Robert Pattinson!

As we mentioned on Saturday, there's already a sequel in the works, which was announced this weekend.

Last weekend's big film, Quantum of Solace, came in at #2 this weekend. The 007 film made another $27 million. Its US 2 week total is an impressive $109 million. Not bad!

And, rounding out the top three is Disney's animated feature, Bolt.

The doggie-centric flick 'only' made the Mouse $27 million. A Disney movie not opening at one is not normal!

What did U see this weekend?

Hollywood has a big weekend (again) despite the shitty economic times!

Wannabe singer/Miley Cyrus's butt boy, Justin GASton, was stripped of his dignity as he strutted his stuff down the catwalk for the Sweet Sixteen birthday extravaganza for designer Christian Audigier's daughter, Crystal, Saturday night in Hollywood.

Justin and Miley accompanied Poppa Billy Ray Cyrus to a tattoo parlor in the Valley on Friday night, where father Cyrus got a tat. AND, Miley and Justin were making out while he got inked, spywitnesses tell us. SO gross!

To us, it seemed like things around Britney Spears go ultra wacky when her long-time business manager, Larry Rudolph, was not involved.

Larry was 'fired' by Brit just before all the shit hit the fan in her world.

Well, Larry's totally back on Team BritBrit and he chatted with the LA Times about her comeback documentary and working with the pop princess.

The Times asked him if there was any hesitation to continue working with her after the ups and downs and he answered:

I've known this girl for over half her life, since she was 13. We have a very close friendship, but it's sort of hard for me to explain my relationship with her. It's a friendship, it's a business relationship, there are some paternal aspects to it. We get along very well. I understand her better than everyone other than her immediate family. There's a shorthand we use in terms of dealing with each other that just works. The bottom line is I think she's amazing. I love her. She's been a big part of my life, and I've been a big part of her life. Being a part of this new phase in her career is something I was very open to.

"Is it harder for women in the industry in general? 'Definitely,' she says. 'I was trying to make a case for Madonna the other day, saying that she's to be admired for her longevity in a genre that has mostly been for younger acts. Men are able to sustain a career into their 50s and 60s and still present themselves as sex symbols. With women on the other hand, people say, 'Why doesn't she retire?' It's just so unfair. So I have to give props to Madonna."

"Poor" GM to Cut 2 Corporate Jets From Their Fleet

As we all painfully know, Detroit's "big 3" auto CEOs caused quite a stink last week when they had the audacity to fly into Washington D.C. via luxury corporate jets to beg the taxpayers for a $25 billion bailout loan.

Well, it looks like the public's WTF? sentiment got to at least two of the three big auto boys.

GM announced on Friday that it's going to cut their corporate jet fleet by two.

A spokesperson said the company started the year with a fleet of seven leased jets.

It gave back two in September and is preparing to shed two more.

GM said it was 'already preparing to give back the two additional jets even before last week's hearing'.

Uh huh.

The mouthpiece went on to say, "We are very sensitive to the issues around the use of corporate planes. This is something we will be looking at closely in the future."

Also, Ford is 'considering' selling its five corporate jets.

A Ford flack said, "Our top priority is to make progress on our transformation plan. We don't want anything to distract us."

Consider???

Why not DO???

There was no word about what the other auto company, Chrysler, plans to do about their corporate jet fleet.

Boooooooooo!

Cocaine users are destroying the rainforest - at 4 square metres a gram

Four square metres of rainforest are destroyed for every gram of cocaine snorted in the UK, a conference of senior police officers as told yesterday.

Francisco Santos Calderón, the vice-president of Colombia, appealed to British users of the class A drug to consider the impact on the environment. He said that while the green agenda would not persuade addicts to give up, the middle-class social user who drove a hybrid car and was concerned about the environment might not take the drug if they knew its impact.

Santos said 300,000 hectares of rainforest were destroyed each year in Colombia to clear land for coca plant cultivation, predominantly controlled by illegal groups, including the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, known as Farc.

Officers were told cocaine and heroin use cost the British economy around £15bn a year in health and crime bills.

Santos outlined to the Association of Chief Police Officers how lives were lost in the illegal cocaine trade in Colombia. He said landmines that were used to protect crops and processing labs killed almost 900 civilians this year.

Farc and other groups funded by narcotics production were also involved in kidnapping. The Colombian-French politician Ingrid Betancourt was held for more than six years before her release earlier this year, and Santos himself was kidnapped and held by a cocaine gang for 18 months in the 1990s.

He told the Belfast conference: "If you snort a gram of cocaine, you are destroying 4m square of rainforest and that rainforest is not just Colombian - it belongs to all of us who live on this planet, so we should all be worried about it. Not only that, the money that you use to buy the cocaine goes into the hands of Farc, of illegal groups that plant mines, that kidnap, that kill, that use terrorism to protect their business."

Santos said many middle-class Britons who used cocaine were unaware of its environmental impact. "For somebody who drives a hybrid, who recycles, who is worried about global warming - to tell him that that night of partying will destroy 4m square of rainforest might lead him to make another decision."

Santos said Europe was experiencing a boom in cocaine use among more affluent people that was comparable with that seen in the USA 25 years ago. Everyone, he said, had a duty to change their behaviour to halt a rise in demand that was destroying his country. "We call it shared responsibility, We can't do it on our own. We need everybody's action; police here, police in Colombia, the authorities in both countries and the consumers too. If there is no consumption, there will be no production.

"There is a sense of frustration, because here drug use is seen as a personal choice and to some extent cocaine is seen as the champagne of drugs which causes no effect and is a victimless crime. It is not victimless."

Bill Hughes, the director general of the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, told the conference that the UK was a very attractive market for drug traffickers. "There is still a lot of disposable income; the risk compared to the US if you are caught is felt to be much less," he said.

The £15bn cost to the economy reduced the amount of money available for schools, teachers and police officers. He said traffickers moved their drugs from South America to west Africa, and then to the EU and Britain, often operating through insecure countries with poor law enforcement. Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands were major staging posts on the trafficking routes and much of the synthetic drug market was supplied from the Netherlands. Hughes said the proceeds of crime were undermining or corrupting governments globally, with the trade worth £4bn-£6.6bn in the UK.
