On Monday, we kicked off the 2009 PopSugar Bikini Body Bracket to narrow down 64 insanely hot celebrity ladies in swimsuits throughout the month of July and crown one winner. Virtually impossible, I know. For the first two days of the bracket we watched you all vote and the closest margins were Reese Witherspoon vs. Sheryl Crow and Audrina Patridge vs. Katy Perry - those are some tough matchups. We also weren't surprised to see Pop favorites like Jennifer Aniston, Britney Spears and Rihanna on their way easily to round two. This morning our friends over at Sports Illustrated Hot Clicks sent over their readers and whoa, just like that everything changed! I thought it would be interesting to take a look at how our predominately female audience was voting versus how the male influx changed the tides. Remember, the voting on round one ends on Saturday at midnight so there's still

Will Smith and director Francis Lawrence are back together again.
The two worked on "I Am Legend," and now, both will be working on "City that Sailed."
The premise is intriguing -- a father and daughter living on opposite sides of the ocean love each other so strongly that it causes Manhattan to split off and float across the Atlantic.
So Manhattan is the city that sailed...aw....
This project is currently setup at 20th Century Fox and Smith is producing, and may be the star.
The script will be rewritten by "Ocean's Thirteen" writers Brian Koppleman and David Levien. "Truman Show's" Andrew Niccol originally wrote the script.
Right now, Lawrence is also courting Reese Witherspoon to star in "Water for Elephants," an adaptation of the Sara Gruen novel that the director is set to helm. The actress hasn't committed yet.

We recently reported that Harrison Ford topped the list of highest-paid male actors of 2008 with $65 million, which he earned for "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." But what about the ladies? Forbes is reported that Angelina Jolie was the highest paid actress of 2008 with $27 million, less than half of what the top-earning male made. The magazine added that the top 10 actors earned $393 million, compared with $183 million for the top 10 actresses. What do these numbers mean? Some have argued that Hollywood is sexist and that there aren't that many good roles for actresses, especially after a certain age. Others have pointed to box office results, stating that movies with male leads earn more than movies with female leads. In other words... Fans are not interested in seeing a Nicole Kidman movie, but will instead pay big bucks to see the new Will Smith blockbuster. Top 10 highest paid actresses

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes announced Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston as the biggest female moneymakers in Hollywood this past year. Many people are, of course, already taking note of the Brad Pitt connection. From June 2008 to June 2009 Jolie pulled in $27 million, while Aniston earned $25 million.
Jolie's big paycheck comes courtesy of Wanted, which grossed $341 million worldwide, and an advance for her role as a CIA agent in Phillip Noyce's upcoming Salt. Aniston's money comes from box-office winner Marley & Me, as well as her role in SmartWater commercials. She also received an advance for The Baster, where she will star alongside Juliette Lewis, Jason Bateman, and Jeff Goldblum.
Completing the top 10 are Meryl Streep, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cameron Diaz, Sandra Bullock, Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Drew Barrymore, and Renée Zellweger.
THR also noted that the $183 million earned by the Top 10 women falls well short of the $393 million taken in by the Top 10 men.

After being named as The World's Most Powerful Celebrity in 2009 by Forbes, Angelina Jolie has been crowned as Hollywood's Top-Earning Actress by the same magazine. Forbes has announced the complete list on Wednesday, July 1, and Brad Pitt's living partner nabbed the No. 1 spot, beating out Jennifer Aniston who only sat on the second position.
Angie topped the list with 27 million U.S. dollars which she earned between June 2008 and June 2009. Much of her income came from last year's movie "Wanted (2008)", which was added with an upfront payment for her upcoming flick "Salt".
Meanwhile, Brad's ex-wife Jennifer raked 25 million U.S. dollars mostly from her romantic comedy "Marley & Me" and the upcoming comedy "The Baster". In addition, Forbes reported, "Aniston also still earns money from (reruns of TV series) 'Friends' and she gets a nice paycheck shilling for Glaceau's SmartWater."

Wedding photographs often tell the same story – the glowing, gorgeous bride in a gown to die for surrounded by bridesmaids in lesser dresses gallantly grinning through the pain. And in last year’s rom-com 27 Dresses, poor, obliging Jane Nichols (Katherine Heigl) doesn’t put up with just one nasty outfit, not two, but (there’s a clue in the title, people!) 27 atrocious dresses. There’s a Little Bo Peep one, a Gone with the Wind one and an olive-green one that James Marsden’s cynical journalist Kevin dubs “an instrument of torture”. However thankfully, when Jane finally gets to upgrade from being the perpetual bridesmaid to the blushing bride she gets to wear a stunning sleeveless V-neck dress so dazzling that it’s been voted the best movie wedding look in a new poll by Blockbuster.
Jane’s sunny ensemble worn to her beach wedding narrowly beat that worn by

Reese Witherspoon has spent the past week dividing her time between filming scenes for How Do You Know? with Paul Rudd and hanging out with Jake off camera, but now there's a new guy in the mix. She was back in her sassy dress, getting a huge hug from Owen Wilson on the DC set this morning. Paul and Owen are both handsome, funny guys, so it should be interesting to see who will win Reese's heart when the love triangle hits the big screen. View 5 Photos ›

Blu-Ray Review
Directed by: Pj Hogan
Cast: Isla Fisher, Hugh Dancy, Kristen Ritter, John Goodman
Running Time: 1 hr 45 mins
Rating: PG-13
Due Out: June 23, 2009
Plot: A Shopaholic (Fisher) starts writing for a savings magazine while being pursued by a persistent debt collector.
Who’s It For? It’s moderately enjoyable even for Neanderthals such as myself, who don’t even know how to properly pronounce “Yves Saint Laurent.” But appreciation of fashion would be a huge plus going into this.
Movie:
Isla Fisher’s enthusiastic dive into airheaded spunk makes this brand-name littered movie not as torturous as one would expect. The sub-love story isn’t too heavy, as male counterpart Hugh Dancy is not as overwhelmingly charming as his name makes him sound to be. But a lot of the “fun” had with Confessions is more amusing than gut busting, as the film is a

Reese Witherspoon had both her men with her while filming How Do You Know? in DC yesterday. Jake Gyllenhaal kept her entertained between takes, but when the cameras started rolling, she only had eyes for her costar Paul Rudd. The shoot went late into the evening, but Jake stuck around until they packed it in for the night. This time the real life lovebirds were less matchy matchy, but it's not like they need to dress identical to fit perfectly together.

What is an –aholic? An –aholic is a suffix slapped onto the end of anything one can form an addiction to or be obsessed with. Possibly the best known of these would be the classic “alcoholic,” but that’s much too heavy for the likes of this discussion. Let’s water it down, shall we? You can be a workaholic. This is someone who’s obsessed with his or her career and spares little time for a personal life. You can be a chocaholic. This is someone who might swoon over a finely crafted window display of Belgian chocolates. And then there’s the shopaholic.
This is someone who cannot resist the urge to buy things. This could be clothes, purses, shoes, anything. It’s an actual disorder. Really, it is. Some people find spending money on new purchases somehow therapeutic and end up replacing what they may really need

Ed McMahon, Rip: The infamous Johnny Carson sidekick has sadly passed away. At the age of 86 Ed McMahon died on June 23rd, 2009 at the Ronald Reagan/UCLA Medical Center. Recently, McMahon has had many health problems, including pneumonia. Not only has the public been made aware in the decline of McMahon’s health, they have also known about his money problems; including his battle to pay his mortgage, costing him approximately $644,000 debt with the bank, and then being sued by numerous insurance companies, which was later reached in a settlement for $7million. Thankfully enough, the public will always remember Ed McMahon as the cheerful and laughable subordinate to Carson. Let’s hear it one last time for remembrance sake: “Heeeeeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!” Antichrist the Video Game: Director Lars Von Trier’s latest flop film that was laughed at during it’s screening at Cannes Film Festival will become a video game.
