We aren’t surprised, are we?  The Guy Ritchie film tops the box office with $2.9 million in its first week in Britain. 

Mamma Mia came in number 2 in its ninth week of release, taking $2.62 million with Keira Knightley’s The Duchess in third place with $2.59 million.

Imagine what the numbers will be when it is released in North America?

I really hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it turns out the recent stories of Josh Hartnett being captured on video in a Soho hotel having sex in the U.K. are untrue.  He tells GMTV:

“It’s incredible the stories they (the British newspapers) come out with. In the States at least they have to make a call to a representative and try to make a reality out of the situation. Over here (in Britain) they just make things up.  “(The paper said) there was a rumour about a video. But how can you have a rumour about a video? It would be on the Internet (by) now.”

And trust me it’s not on the internet.  I searched high and low.  Ha ha…I kid you.  Funny that he’s pictured in a trench coat, right?

I smell potential lawsuit:

“not only untrue but a complete fabrication…. defamatory and unsubstantiated”.

Hartnett is set to appear on stage in the West End Production of Rain Man scheduled to commence September 19.

These headlines just kind of write themselves, don’t they?

Kate Moss is to take part in a video for We Are (Not) Sex People’s new single with a man dressed as a rampant bunny and will also take part in a nude orgy in the video.

Here’s how the conversation with the bunny guy’s agent probably went:

Agent:  I have a new gig for you to appear in a video

Bunny:  Cool.  What do I have to do?

Agent:  Dress up as a bunny.

Bunny:  WTF….When do I get a REAL acting job…..can’t you get me any better gigs, you useless sack of….

Agent:  You will be getting it on with a naked Kate Moss

Bunny:  You are God to me.

You just never know in life, do you?

The Lead singer of the band Dan Summers is quoted by Britain’s Daily Star newspaper as saying: “There will be lots of nudity.

“Kate will play a sexy, young version of Cynthia. And we’d all give our right ears to be that bunny rabbit she fools around with.”

No kidding.
