Expendables Stays at Box Office Top
Old school action flick "The Expendables" beat back a challenge from horror-parody "Vampires Suck" to claim the top spot for a second week at North America's weekend box office, industry estimates showed Sunday.
Sylvester Stallone's movie about a group of weathered mercenaries out to topple a South American dictator was the most popular movie, adding about 16.5 million dollars in ticket sales to last week's 35.5 million.
"Vampire Suck," a send-up of the "Twilight" series of heart throb-meets-horror films, debuted at 12.2 million dollars in ticket sales.
Third place went to "Eat, Pray, Love," Ryan Murphy's adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert's novel about a divorcee's jaunt to Italy, Indonesia and India starring Julia Roberts. It earned 12 million dollars in its second week of release, according to industry tracking firm Exhibitor Relations.
In fourth place was the debut of the urban comedy "Lottery Ticket" starring rappers Ice Cube and Bow Wow, about a recent high school graduate who wins a massive jackpot but can't immediately cash the ticket. It earned 11.1 million dollars.
Fifth place went to "The Other Guys," the latest Will Ferrell slapstick comedy, about two mismatched police officers paired on a high-profile crime investigation. It earned an estimated 10.1 million dollars in ticket sales.
Another summer horror spoof "Piranha 3D," grossed a touch over 10 million dollars in its debut, for sixth place.
The debut movie "Nanny McPhee Returns" the sequel to a popular kid's film starring British actress Emma Thompson in the title role, earned the seventh place spot with 8.3 million dollars in ticket sales.
Eighth place went to the debut romantic comedy "The Switch" starring Jennifer Aniston, about a woman who stumbles upon love despite her plans to become a single mom via artificial insemination. It sold 8.1 million dollars in tickets.
Sci-fi blockbuster "Inception" was ninth with 7.7 million dollars, while "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World," fell five places in its second week and took tenth place, with about five million dollars in movie tickets sold.

Jackie Chan Wants kung fu as Olympic Sport
Hollywood martial arts star Jackie Chan has called for wushu, better known outside China as kung fu, to be recognised as an official Olympic sport, state media reported Sunday.
"I love wushu a lot and I would love to see it included in future Olympic Games," Chan, who was in Beijing to record a theme song for an upcoming combat event, was quoted as saying by the official China Daily newspaper.
The International Olympic Committee recognises wushu as a sport but has not included it as an official event in the Games, unlike other Asian martial arts such as taekwondo and judo that are now part of the global sports gathering.

Angelina Pledges help for flood hit Pakistan
Hollywood star Angelina Jolie has pledged to do what she can in her capacity as a UNHCR ambassador for flood ravaged Pakistan.
The Oscar-winning actress, 35, was asked what she would do in her role as goodwill ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) as she promoted her new action thriller, ‘Salt’, in London's West End. ‘I'm doing what I can. I'm talking to Ambassador [Richard] Holbrooke, the UN and people on the ground about how we can spend our money,’ she said at the film's premiere in Leicester Square.
Jolie added: ‘It's unraveling every minute; it seems to be getting worse so we're trying to keep track of it’. The Changeling star is considering all her options and listening to advisers. ‘A lot of people say it is important to visit but maybe in a month or two when the cameras go away - we don't know when is the best time. We're just going to keep on it and listen and take advice from the people on the ground as to what is best to do’.

Dina Lohan Defends Lindsay Lohan
Argumentative diva Dina Lohan appeared on the Today show Friday morning and promptly defended the behavior of Lindsay Lohan while placing all the blame on the criminal justice system, specifically the judge who sentenced her to jail.
Basically, in DinaLand, Marsha Revel refused to give Linds a free pass from the correctional facility), therefore she sucks.
"I'm not condoning drinking and driving, but she's still paying the price for what she did in 2007," said Dina. "She's changed. She's grown up considerably."
This is not true. Lindsay repeatedly violated the very simple terms of her probation, acted like she was beyond reproach, and finally got hers. End of story.
To Dina, Lindsay can do no wrong. This explains a whole lot about the train wreck's conduct over the past several years. [Photos: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
Asked what accounted for the change, Dina told Matt Lauer, "Age. Living life. Knowing life. Growing up." Right. Whatever that means. Very convincing, Dina.
Accusing Revel of "going overboard" and "playing hardball" by ordering Lindsay to jail for 90 days (she served 13) and to rehab, Dina claims the judge recused herself from the case this week because she was about to be fired.
Lindsay "was [thrown in jail] for missing a couple of classes and was working at the time," Dina Lohan says, apparently confusing "clubbing" with "working."
Pressed about coverage of her daughter's problems, Dina said it's "propaganda," and "pre-orchestrated. You're reading things that are not based on fact."
Whining about attention she craves, she adds: "Her life is magnified. She is under a microscope … Lindsay doesn't realize a lot of people are watching her."
For now, in rehab, "She's great," said Dina. "She's been through a lot."
