Box Office Roundup: Can I get an Amen for black men in drag?

Based on Sunday’s estimates:

1) Tyler Perry’s Madea’s Family Reunion: $13 million ($48 million, second week)
Looks as though that clothing line of female fat suits for black men that Keenan Thompson was pimping on “SNL” wasn’t that much of a stretch after all. And is it just me, or is Finesse Mitchell a little too convincing as a woman?
2) 16 Blocks: $11.6 million (first week)
At least Bruce Willis didn’t look at Mos Def and say, “I’m too old for this shit.”
3) Eight Below: $10.2 million ($58.7 million, third week)
The joke, of course, is that Paul Walker’s agent will use the box office of this movie as an example of his client’s star power. But we all know that everyone’s going to see Jason Biggs.
4) Ultraviolet: $9 million (first week)
Shocker: Milla Jovovich’s latest movie wasn’t screened for critics. Just like the last four.
5) Aquamarine: $7.5 million (first week)
If this really isn’t the “Teen Splash” that it appears to be, please let us know.

And the Oscar for Best Picture goes to…

Crash“?

Well, I don’t think anybody saw that one coming, including the cast of the film, who were jumping out of their seats in complete amazement last night when presenter Jack Nicholson read the name off the envelope. I had previously predicted that if there was one film that could upset frontrunner “Brokeback Mountain” for the prize, it would be the Paul Haggis-directed drama, but it was still a shocker when it happened. Since Ang Lee had won Best Director honors only minutes before the announcement of Best Picture, it seemed like That Gay Cowboy Movie had it in the bag. Perhaps the Academy chose “Crash” over “Brokeback” for its incredible ensemble cast, because that’s the only leg up that the former had on Lee’s drama.

The rest of the night went down exactly as expected, with Philip Seymour Hoffman picking up the award for Best Actor in “Capote” and Reese Witherspoon winning the Best Actress award for “Walk the Line.” The complete list of winners in all of the major categories are as follows:

Best Picture – Crash
Best Director – Ang Lee (“Brokeback Mountain”)
Best Actor – Philip Seymour Hoffman (“Capote”)
Best Actress – Reese Witherspoon (“Walk the Line”)
Best Supporting ActorGeorge Clooney (“Syriana“)
Best Supporting ActressRachel Weisz (“The Constant Gardener“)
Best Original Screenplay – “Crash”
Best Adapted Screenplay – “Brokeback Mountain”
Best Documentary – “March of the Penguins
Best Animated Feature – “Wallace & Gromit and the Curse of the Were-Rabbit

I don’t want to say this is creepy…

…but the fellow in this photo is the guy who runs “the world’s greatest Amanda Bynes fansite.”

All I’m saying is that, in my head, I imagined that the person who’d run such a site would be a woman in her late teens or early ’20s, not a guy with grey in his beard and a deer-in-headlights expression who looks like he’s literally soiling himself with excitement.

Starlets, cover your boobies: Isaac’s back

True to form, Isaac Mizrahi has gone on record as saying that he will not tone down his red carpet antics one iota for Sunday night’s Oscar extravaganza. Widely criticized for his Golden Globe red carpet interviews–which included grabbing Scarlett Johanssen’s breast, questioning various celebrities about their underwear, and asking Eva Longoria about her carpet–Mizrahi remains uncowed by the Academy spokesmen’s remarks that such behavior will be frowned upon Sunday night.

Which is not entirely surprising, actually, given that the Academy’s official threat is that they will be “extraordinarily angry” if the fashion designer does anything deemed inappropriate. That, and that they “cannot predict” what they will do if Isaac goes against their wishes. Well, that’s enough to give anyone pause, right there.

To his credit, Mizrahi has said that the award arrival pre-shows have bored him to tears in the past, and that he was only “asking the questions that interested him,” in an attempt to liven things up.

Mission accomplished. While I’ve tended to skip all but the last half-hour or so of the arrival shows in the past…you can bet I’ll be tuning into E! at 5:30 sharp (Eastern) just to watch this train wreck develop.

You knew it was coming

Just in time for the release of upcoming Tom Hanks blockbuster “The Da Vinci Code,” gay porn outfit PZP Productions will offer some intriguing suppositions about the exact chemical makeup of the paint used to create the famed artist’s masterworks in… “The Da Vinci Load.”

Place your orders now…just like its more respectable doppelganger, “Load” will be made available to the public on May 19. That makes it a few days late to work as a Mother’s Day gift…but moms do tend to love art, especially Renaissance art, so maybe she won’t mind the wait.
