There's very little doubt about what movie will have the longest lines next weekend. The Dark Knight may break the all-time opening weekend record. Then again, it might not, if a lot of people, believing it will break the opening weekend record, don't want to screw with the long lines. Maybe they'll stay away completely, or maybe, having spent all that time in line just to see sold out theaters for The Dark Knight, they'll see something else instead.

The summer movie season has a few weeks where it seems as though one movie has a weekend all to itself, but it's hardly the case here. In fact, with all the talk surrounding how The Dark Knight might make $160, $180 million dollars in three days - speculation based primarily on geeked-up hope more than anything else - it's worth pointing out that of the top three films of all time in terms of stratospheric debuts,

Crimes • Attempting to spin a story about incest and alcoholism into the feel-good movie of the summer • Featuring more Dramamine-requiring tonal shifts than the average Tyler Perry movie, with a ready-for-drag Jane Fonda as a bat-wielding, teetotaling Madea-type • Being so poorly conceived and executed that a boozed-up, out-of-control Lindsay Lohan somehow winds up being the best thing the movie has going for it. (She's still bad, though.) Defender: Director Garry Marshall (Pretty Woman, The Other Sister) Tone of commentary: Affably listless, with long stretches of silence and lots of mundane examples of "movie magic" at work. Marshall has long been one of the most personable, funny directors in Hollywood, but the synapses in his brain aren't quite firing like they used to, which leads to anecdotes and observations that tend to trail...

Lindsay Lohan has impressed the producers of new movie Labor Pains with her work ethic - despite earning a reputation as a tardy star on the set of her previous movie Georgia Rule.

Lohan infuriated studio chief James G. Robinson with her lateness and partying while shooting the 2007 drama, eventually causing him to write a letter to the star in July 2006 attacking her unprofessionalism.

But according to a producer on upcoming comedy Labor Pains - in which Lohan plays a publishing assistant who pretends to be pregnant in a bid to keep her job - the 21-year-old has been a consummate professional.

Producer Rich Schwarts tells industry publication Variety, "I didn't know Lindsay before this, but we looked each other in the eye three months ago, and she has done everything I could have asked."

Shooting on the movie, which also stars Chris Parnell and Cheryl Hines, begins on 9 June in Burbank, California.

Lindsay Lohan has been axed as the star of an upcoming biopic of murderer Charles Manson, amid reports studio bosses fear she has returned to her partying ways.

The actress signed on to play Nancy Pittman - a member of Manson's 'family' - earlier this year, in independent film Manson Girls.

But her contract has now reportedly been cancelled - and Hollywood gossips claim the decision was made because producers fear two spells in rehab last year failed to cure her of her wild ways.

Celebrity blogger PerezHilton.com claims movie bosses were also struggling to sign other major stars to the movie, because of Lohan's presence.

The furore comes nearly two years after studio chief James G. Robinson wrote a letter to Lohan attacking her lateness and partying while shooting Georgia Rule in July 2006.
