'DARK KNIGHT': RECORD $60M FRIDAY

FRIDAY 5:30PM: Warner Bros sources tell me that The Dark Knight is opening to a humongous $60M today from a widest-ever release of 4,366 North American theaters. That's breathtaking box office gross, even for a mega-blockbuster! So the studio is privately preening that this latest Batman installment has scored the biggest Friday ever, beating Sony's previous record-setter Spider-Man 3 with $59.8M scored on Friday, May 4th, 2007. What also makes this number so stunning is that the Chris Nolan-directed DC Comics dark drama starring Christian Bale and the late Heath Ledger is not as kid friendly as the comic book caper starring the Marvel webbed hero. Meanwhile, despite all the sell-outs this weekend, seats for The Dark Knight are selling at the astounding rate of 15 tickets per second at big movie ticket service Fandango.com. Clearly the great word of mouth is spreading as well as the rave reviews: 90% positive among cream of the crop critics on RottenTomatoes.com. So far, the only breakdown available for Friday's box office is a record $18.5M from 12:01 AM showings, including a best-ever $640K for ZIMAX midnight previews.

Not only did Brit Brit sign over sole custody of SPF and JJ to KFed, but she has also agreed to pay his ass $20,000 a month in child support. He used to get $15,000 a month. He got a raise! $200 for the kids and $19,800 for him! Kids only need a box of animal crackers and a couple of Crayolas.

People reports that KFed's lawyer will also get $250,000 from Brit Brit for his work on the custody case.

So what does Brit Brit get in return? Peace and quiet! She can finally enjoy her glass of Boones Farms without some annoying ass kid tugging at her sweatpants, complaining about how hungry he is. Seriously, Brit got more visitations and an extra overnight. A source told E! that once the conservatorship of her estate  ends, she will ask the court for 50/50.

The settlement papers haven't been filed, but it's pretty much a done deal. They were supposed to go to trial and now that's not going to happen.

Brit's lawyer said, "It was a victory for the whole family that they don't have to go to a trial." It's not a victory for us. Brit Brit and KFed's courtroom drama was going to be my summer guilty pleasure. What about the hours of entertainment we were going to get from that trial? What about us?! They are so selfish!

Usssss

I'm beginning to think that the evil warlords of Hollywood are purposely butchering our beloved classics as part of a bigger plan to slowly destroy us all. And it's working. MGM is planning to do a MUSICAL remake of 1983's "Valley Girl." There goes the dagger. Straight into my non-existent heart.

The musical will use the movie's original story with 80s songs. The movie will SUCK DOG NUTS.
