Stinky!

Cameron Diaz' latest film, The Box, blew it at the box office on Friday night!

Directed by Donnie Darko's Richard Kelly, the horror flick is only expected to open to a measly $7 mil over the weekend.

Pretty shitty for a movie that cost $25 million to make!!

And Cameron's not alone! MJ's This Is It continues to slide down the box office earnings, with the doc only expected to earn $13-$15 million by the weekend's close.

The only success story of the weekend so far?

Disney's A Christmas Carol, starring funnyman Jim Carrey is expected to earn $30-$35 million by Sunday, securing it in the number one spot at the box office.

As expected!

We don't think you should get one AT ALL!

Joe Jackson wants a monthly stipend from son Michael Jackson's estate to cover his extravagant $15,000 a month lifestyle:

Joe spends $1,200 a month for rent, $2,500 to eat out, $1,000 on entertainment, gifts and vacations, $2,000 on air travel and $3,000 on hotels!

Maybe you should cut back a bit, you bastard!

Michael's will only approves allowances to his mother Katherine Jackson and his 3 children Prince, Paris and Blanket.

Joe Jackson's only source of income is his $1,700 social security check that comes each month. The filing states:

"He does not have a regular or steady source of income, and he was dependent upon the money provided by his son, Michael Jackson, through his wife, Katherine Jackson for his support."

Oh, boo hoo! Maybe you should do something else besides milking your children for cash?

A judge has already rejected Joe's petition for an expedited hearing and to file the motion under seal.

It doesn't sound like anyone is on your side, Joe! We wonder why?!

And he supposedly makes death threats!

Ronnie Newt, a man who believed he had information that proved Michael Jackson had an illegitimate child, has requested a restraining order against Joe Jackson and his son Randy Jackson.

Newt is claiming that after he provided Joe with the information he had about the boy in question, 12-year-old Prince Michael Malachi Jet Jackson, Joe sent his cronies to threaten him! Newt states in the documents:

"I was told to stay out of the M.J. love child story. That some one could get kill [sic] for that kind of money."

Joe Jackson has denied that Michael fathered the child in the past after Newt approached him before. Now Newt is requesting that the Jacksons and their associates always remain at least 50 yards away from him.

Newt also warns that if he turns up dead the police should definitely suspect foul play.

Shady, shady.

We wouldn't put it past Joe! He's a horrible man!

Guess it won't be permanently deleted after all!

LaToya Jackson's 90 second scene in Sacha Baron Cohen's film Brüno will be featured as an extra on the DVD, which is being released on November 17th.

The scene was originally scrapped out of respect for the Jackson family following the sudden death of Michael Jackson.

Wonder why the change of heart???

It seems that one of Michael Jackson's less-than-esteemed habits could explain some key testimony given by the accuser during his 1993 molestation trial.

In the investigation, the young accuser could describe Jackson's genitals in explicit detail. The singer had discoloration due to the skin pigmentation disorder Vitiligo.

However, MJ's longtime friend and dermatologist, Dr. Arnold Klein believes that the child knew what Jackson's nether regions looked like because the late singer found it funny to pee with an audience!

Gross!

Klein claims that when Michael would urinate at the doctor's home, he would do it in a cup around groups of people - even while minors were present!!! He would also do it in front of other people while waiting at the physician's office.

The does not make it right and doing that around kids is definitely NOT funny!

And the critics are arguing whether or not he was any good!

Michael Jackson recites his original poem "Planet Earth" on the This Is It album - and reviews are ranging from "unsophisticated but poignant" to "vapid" to "consider yourself warned."

Quite a mixed bag!

Here's the poem in its entirety:

Planet Earth, my home, my place
A capricious anomaly in the sea of space
Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.

In my veins I've felt the mystery
Of corridors of time, books of history
Life songs of ages throbbing in my blood
Have danced the rhythm of the tide and flood
Your misty clouds, your electric storm

Were turbulent tempests in my own form
I've licked the salt, the bitter, the sweet
Of every encounter, of passion, of heat
Your riotous color, your fragrance, your taste
Have thrilled my senses beyond all haste

In your beauty I've known the how
Of timeless bliss, this moment of now.

Planet Earth, are you just
Floating by, a cloud of dust
A minor globe, about to bust
A piece of metal bound to rust
A speck of matter in a mindless void
A lonely spaceship, a large asteroid

Cold as a rock without a hue
Held together with a bit of glue
Something tells me this isn't true
You are my sweetheart, soft and blue
Do you care, have you a part
In the deepest emotions of my own heart
Tender with breezes, caressing and whole
Alive with music, haunting my soul.

Planet Earth, gentle and blue
With all my heart, I love you."

We think it's kind of sweet and tend to agree with the review that it's "hokey at times, but there is a childlike quality that emerges after a few listens."

Thoughts???

Not that we didn't see this coming as soon as they said it would only run for 2 weeks, but still.

It was just announced that the Michael Jackson documentary, This Is It, will remain in theaters through Thanksgiving weekend.

In a press release that was probably drafted up weeks ago, the chairman of Sony Pictures, Jeff Blake, explained:

"In just 5 days, Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT has become the highest grossing concert film of all time and we are elated by the response to this special film by fans, critics and moviegoers from all over the world. With this kind of global response, it’s clear that the motion picture deserves an extended run and we are going to do everything we can to make the film available to everyone who wants to see Michael Jackson’s THIS IS IT on the big screen."

Judging by this weekend's turn-out, we think Jeff and the suits over at Sony are really over-estimating the interest in this movie.

They just keep filing in!

A4V Digital is demanding $736,502.59 from Michael Jackson's estate for the rental of sound recording and audio equipment "in connection with the making of a musical."

The billing dates span from June 9 to June 25, the very day that Jackson passed away.

Innerestin'!

After being hyped to the extreme, the Michael Jackson documentary This Is It is selling pretty short.

The film made $20.7 million over the Halloween weekend, which was much less than Sony had expected. Paranormal Activity followed close behind with $16.6 million.

Sony execs apparently think that the initial talk of sold-out screenings during the pre-sale has kept fans from turning out to see the movie.

Seems like Sony was way off the mark when calculating the public interest.

Did U see This Is It? What did U think?
