Despite the fact that Jennifer Lopez's split from Marc Anthony was all anyone in the celebrity industry could talk about for the past week, the mom of two, who turns 42 on Sunday, only landed on two magazine covers.

So what's the rest of the headline creating news? "Real Housewife" Teresa Giudice doesn't want to be poor; Brad Pitt's supposedly got a "mystery woman" and the "Bachelorette" is still being the "Bachelorette." Revelatory, we know.

If there was an Olympics of box office records, surely the wizards of Hogwarts would have more than a few medals by now.

In the latest update on "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2's" box office domination comes news that the "Potter" movies have collectively pushed past the "Star Wars" films to become the top grossing franchise in the history of the domestic box office.

As of Friday morning, the eight "Harry Potter" films grossed $2.234 billion domestically overall, according to a rep from Warner Bros. "Star Wars," meanwhile, pulled in $2.218 billion domestically, although this record does not reflect an adjustment for price inflation.

When it comes to "Potter's" global appeal, the franchise has held on to the top spot as the highest earning franchise since 2009's "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince." The series of films, with the release of the last one, crossed the $7 billion mark in global box office returns this week, Warner Bros. announced Thursday.

The name "Captain America" doesn't leave room for a lot of doubts about patriotism. But the director of this weekend's "Captain America: The First Avenger," Joe Johnston, says that this version of the superhero expresses his love of country a little differently.

"We're sort of putting a slightly different spin on Steve Rogers," Johnston tells the Los Angeles Times. "He’s a guy that wants to serve his country, but he’s not a flag-waver. We’re reinterpreting, sort of, what the comic book version of Steve Rogers was.”

Captain America - played by Chris Evans in the film - is still beholden to his civic duty, but his desire to serve is more out of a moral sense of right and wrong, Johnston goes on.

We know that Kim Kardashian's not that into the usual bachelorette party shenanigans - penis themes make her a bit uncomfortable, apparently - and that means there probably won't be any scantily clad men dancing at her fete this weekend.

The reality TV star's friend Brittny Gastineau tells People that Kim's sister Khloe had male strippers on her last night of singledom, but that won't fly for Kim.

"For Khloe's we had [male strippers] and Kim and I were literally screaming and running away from them," Gastineau says. "I told Kim no naked dancers!"

We're guessing Chris Brown's neighbors don't turn to him first when they need to borrow that cup of sugar.

After TMZ reported that the singer was having issues with other residents in his West Hollywood building who claimed it was a "nightmare" to live near the star, alleging that he plays music loudly, parties around the clock and is disrespectful, Brown told his side of the story via his Twitter account.

"I feel I have to explain myself because my brand/life is always being slandered and tampered with! ITS GOTTA STOP!" he posted Thursday.

"America's Next Top Model" is known for the drama (where else can we watch grown women crying because they are getting a hair cut?) and creator/host Tyra Banks promises next season will be even more so.

Speaking with "Good Morning America" during an interview about her forthcoming novel "Modelland," Tyra said cycle 17 (has it really been that long already?!) of the show will be an all-star season featuring past contestants.

And with such a cast there will be plenty of action, she said. FULL POST

Vinny Chase and the guys will return to the tube on Sunday for “Entourage’s” final season.

From countless celebrity cameos to several highly anticipated fictional films, the HBO comedy has racked up a number of memorable moments in its seven years. We're the first to admit that sometimes we wanted to love "Entourage" more than we actually did, but there were still plenty of scenes that reminded us of why we'd gotten hooked in the first place.

To usher in the eighth and final season, we're recounting eight moments that kept us coming back for more:

Well, we all knew it had to happen.

There aren't any less-than-stellar dancers left on "So You Think You Can Dance," so no matter who went home last night, it would have been unfortunate. But short of judge and executive producer Nigel Lythgoe saying "Hey! You're all so good we just can't choose! You all win! Woohoo!" – which he practically did do – the result was the best we could have hoped for.

As the judges deliberated, a guest performance by American Ballet Theatre's Daniil Simkin wowed the audience. Simkin is everything you'd want from an ABT soloist: smoothness of movement, clarity in the character, and, of course, gravity-defying jumps. And after another guest performance from musical girl group Blush, it was time for the bad news.
