“We will call you Shark Bait.”
…Elizabeth Taylor jumps into a shark-viewing cage. At age 74.
I’m sorry, but that’s the coolest freakin’ thing I’ve heard all week. Granted, it’s only Monday…but still.

Props to “She’s Having a Baby” for the quote.
Based on Sunday’s estimates, courtesy of boxofficemojo.com:
1) Jackass: Number Two: $28.1 million (first week)
Six inches away from being Steve-O’s snuff film.
2) Jet Li’s Fearless: $10.6 million (first week)
Say hello and wave goodbye to Jet Li, everyone.
3) Gridiron Gang: $9.6 million ($27.2 million, second week)
We just don’t care about this one enough to waste the energy on coming up with a good zinger.
4) Flyboys: $6.0 million (first week)
And now we know exactly what kind of clout the phrase “From the producer of ‘Independence Day’ and ‘The Patriot’ holds: none.
5) Everyone’s Hero: $4.8 million ($11.6 million, second week)
Brilliant, put out a baseball movie when 90% of the teams are eliminated from the post-season.
Most Unintentionally Funny Headline of the Week: Last week, after “Gridiron Gang” took the top spot at the box office, Sony Pictures sent out a note saying that they have racked up ten #1 openings in 2006, more than any studio in history. The funny part comes in looking at the list of the other nine movies.
The Da Vinci Code
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
The Pink Panther
RV
Silent Hill
Click
The Covenant
Underworld: Evolution
When a Stranger Calls
That’s about the shittiest list of #1 movies you could ever hope to assemble one or two excepted. Congrats, Sony. You make crap movies. And congrats, moviegoing public, for making those movies hits and encouraging Sony to make more of them. We’re doomed.
Okay, you YouTube armchair directors: time to show what you’re made of. You just might win a trip to Sundance for your efforts.
Here’s the deal: Make your own trailer for the movie “Black Snake Moan,” starring Christina Ricci, Samuel L. Jackson and Justin Timberlake, and if yours is selected, you win a free trip to the Sundance Film Festival. For rules and other contest info, click here. Good luck.
Back in April, while in the throes of a mad TV crush on Kristen Wiig, I started to wonder what cuts Lorne Scissorhands would be making to the cast of “Saturday Night Live” in the offseason. Here were my picks for the soon-to-be-departed:
Rachel Dratch
Tina Fey
Finesse Mitchell
Maya Rudolph
Horatio Sanz
And here’s who Lorne axed, through the simple omission of their names in a press release:
Rachel Dratch
Tina Fey
Finesse Mitchell
Chris Parnell
Horatio Sanz
Four out of five ain’t bad, if you’re playing baseball. Personally, I’m surprised by the departure of Parnell. I thought that he and Andy Samberg would be making beautiful “Red Vines + Mr. Pibb = crazy delicious” music together for years to come. On the plus side, that kills the Merv the Perv skit once and for all, so there’s that.
On another note, they announced the host and musical guest for the season premiere. The band is the Killers, and that makes sense since they have a new record out October 3. And for the host…?
Dane Cook.
I don’t know about you all, but I remember the last time he hosted “SNL,” and it sucked out loud. His new movie, “Employee of the Month” (which comes out three days after the Killers’ new album) looks even worse. This is looking like an ominous season premiere, especially with the Dane Cook backlash at fever pitch. Time to bring out that $5,000 check and get the Beatles back together again, Lorne.

It looks so charming after all these years.
Get it while it’s hot. This nifty little hacienda was featured in A Nightmare on Elm Street. It looks like something straight out of the ’80s…out of the ’70s. Just check out all that natural wood in the kitchen! Those yellow curatain thingies are also way sexy!
