Check out a new tune by RiRi and Labourghini-Breezy, rumored tune off the upcoming Confessions of a Shopaholic film.

Did Katie Holmes really spend $14 million after moving to New York– in just six months? With everyone tightening their belts and trying to cut back, I’m sure this is just the kind of news you want to hear. . . right?!

Super pregnant Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck were spotted heading into the hospital for another check-up this week. We can’t wait to hear the news when it does happen (any day now!), and we’re wishing this soon-to-be-parents the best–again!

Blu-ray won the war. But the peace is a killer.

Despite the current state of the economy, the movie industry continues to resist the recession.

Twentieth Century Fox’s Owen Wilson-Jennifer Aniston starrer “Marley and Me” remained best in show at the weekend box office, fetching a winning gross of $24 million from 3,505 runs for a cume of $106.5 million in only 11 days.

“Marley” led an unusually robust holiday sesh at the box office. Four of the five films opening nationwide on Dec. 25 did great business — “Marley,” Disney’s “Bedtime Stories,” Paramount’s “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and United Artists/MGM’s “Valkyrie.”

The specialty side also made strong gains, with Miramax’s “Doubt” and Fox Searchlight’s “Slumdog Millionaire” coming in at Nos. 8 and 10, respectively, according to Rentrak. “Defiance” scored the best per-location average over the entire weekend, followed by “Gran Torino” and “Revolutionary Road.”

B.O. revs for the week between Christmas and New Year’s were up nearly 20% over the same stretch in 2007.

“It’s a very atypical Christmas to have this many movies succeed,” Disney prexy of domestic distribution Chuck Viane said.

Holiday films should continue to prosper well into January.

“Bedtime Stories” remained at No. 2 over the weekend, grossing an estimated $20.3 million from 3,684 locations for a cume of $85.3 million.

Going into the holiday, most thought “Bedtime Stories,” which is a broad family film, would take the lead, but “Marley” came out of the gate at No. 1 and has remained there. Based on the bestselling memoir about a journalist and his family’s dog, “Marley” reunited “The Devil Wears Prada” director David Frankel with Fox 2000. New Regency is also a producer.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theatres, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released Monday.

1. “Marley & Me,” $24.1 million.

2. “Bedtime Stories,” $20.3 million.

3. “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” $18.4 million.

4. “Valkyrie,” $14 million.

5. “Yes Man,” $13.9 million.

6. “Seven Pounds,” $10 million.

7. “The Tale of Despereaux,” $7 million.

8. “Doubt,” $5 million.

9. “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” $4.9 million.

10. “Slumdog Millionaire,” $4.8 million.

Travis McCoy & Katy Perry

Katy Perry and her Gym Class Heroes beau Travis McCoy have split after a year of dating, a source close to Perry confirmed to Usmagazine.com Friday.

“It’s sad, but they were fighting a lot because they never saw each other and now she is going on tour,” the source told Us. “She just needed a clear head. It’s been non-stop work for her.”

Look back at the biggest splits of 2008.

McCoy posted the lyrics to Main Source’s tune “Looking at the Front Door” on his blog about the breakup, which was first reported by Celebuzz.

“We fight every night, now that’s not kosher. I reminisce with bliss of when we was closer. And wake up to be greeted by an argument again, You act like you’re 10…My friends always tell me how I’m lucky to possess the best looking girl in the whole U.S….it seems like just two years back when we were bonded and not pierced, but now I keep itchin’ to jet,” he wrote.

In December, Perry — who gained worldwide fame in 2008 with her hit “I Kissed a Girl” — told Us they weren’t planning a walk down the aisle any time soon.

“Planning a wedding and promoting a record — those two things don’t exist in the same sentence,” Perry told Us. “You have to just enjoy each other because people change, you know.

“And either you can change with them and evolve with them and then you start to realize OK, we can do this, this can happen for a long time, or, you change,” she continued. “You realize you know that you are turning into a different person. Who knows? You know, he has a busy life too, and life is busy over here.”

Happy New Year from the Team!!!!!

While doing a little Q&A for her Bongo Virus promotion, Paris Hilton was caught off guard by a cheeky prankster. The “reporter” offered up some gifts to replace items stolen from her home in last month’s burglary before flashing his underwear at the celebutante. Surprisingly, Paris was shocked and tried to run off while the perp was removed from the room. I guess this explains Paris’ penchant for not wearing panties, she’s scared of them!
