Moviegoers really into Jason. Well, will you look at that? It seems audiences were in the mood for a bit of a fright this President&aposs Day weekend. Friday the 13th destroyed its box office competition - and some records, too. The horror remake beat Confessions of a Shopaholic and He&aposs Just Not That Into You, pulling down $42.2 million. (Guess blood and guts trumps romance once more, huh?) That total gives Friday the 13th the biggest opening of 2009, and the biggest opening for any film in the Friday the 13th franchise. It&aposs also the best showing ever for a horror remake. Coming in number two was last week&aposs champ, He&aposs Just Not That Into You, which audiences were still into - to the tune of $19.6 million. Taken took home $19.3 million in its third week - for a total of $78 million. Interesting...by which I mean...wtf? Fans of Confessions of a Shopaholic weren&apost that addicted, giving the film a so-so gross of $15.4 million in its first week. Coraline came in at number five, earning $15.3 million. Herewith, this weekend&aposs Box Office Top 10 in its entirety: 1. Friday the 13th, $42.2 million 2. He&aposs Just Not That Into You, $19.6 million 3. Taken, $19.3 million 4.

To Benji or not to Benji... Valentine&aposs Day is a fickle holiday. No one knows that hotness and coldness better than Ms. Hot and Cold herself, Katy Perry. According to some, Katy got up close and personal with Benji Madden this Valentine&aposs Day. According to others, Katy told Benji just where he could shove his declarations of love. According to People magazine, Katy and Benji were canoodling in Vegas on Saturday night. The two got cozy at Lavo, where they headed after Katy&aposs concert at Hard Rock Hotel&aposs Wasted Space. Though there was no public snogging, there was a definite date-vibe going on, prompting one observer to detect "some chemistry there." However, according to TMZ, Katy was having none of Benji&aposs advances. After Paris&aposs ex attempted to pick up the singer, Katy declared: "... F**k boys. We don&apost need boys -- we got girls!" Well, OK, then. From that, it would seem that Katy is going back to the message of her first single. Or keeping her vow of celibacy. But I don&apost know. Declaration or no declaration, cupid&aposs arrow can be pretty piercing. Once you&aposre stuck, you&aposre stuck.
