BOX OFFICE – “Knowing” beat “I Love You Man” and “Duplicity” to open at number one this weekend.  They made 24.8, 18 and 14.4 million.  It’s thought “Love” was hurt by the NCAA basketball tournament, because they share a similar audience, whereas optimistic Nic Cage fans are stuck in 2002, and the winner of that NCAA tournament has already been decided.  (la times)

PARIS HILTON – she’s reportedly giving up drinking and even picked out a room as a nursery, all part of her plan to have kids.  Presumably with Doug Reinhardt, who some say is ready to propose after dating her for one month.  That hissing popping sound you hear right now is a robot arriving from the future, sent back to kill her, save us.  (source = sun uk and insider)

NATASHA RICHARDSON – it was appropriately cold, dark and gloomy as Natasha was laid to rest yesterday in upstate New York.  Ralph Fiennes (Voldemort), Timothy Dalton, Uma Thurman, Meryl Streep, Holly Hunter and Alan Rickman (Snape) were a few to pay their respects.  Is this a bad time to ask when Uma get so fat?   (source = splash and pacific coast)
