Weekend Box Office Report: ‘Identity Thief’ Climbs Back on Top
With Hollywood focused on the Oscars, this was one of the dullest box office weekends in recent memory, with each of the new releases arriving with a shrug, last week's champions plummeting and 'Identity Thief' climbing back to the top of the chart.
2013 Oscars – If You’re Thinking of Stalking the Celebs on the Red Carpet … Bad Move, Bro
All that heightened security at the Grammys proved to be kind of a joke when a prankster got in anyway and tried to ruin Adele's big moment (before being vanquished by J. Lo and her mighty Thumb of Doom), but it seems the 2013 Oscars organizers aren't taking any chances with their glittery attendees.

Tom Cruise’s ‘Jack Reacher’ is Heading for a Sequel
December is often a surprising month at the box office as many films that never top the box office end up making a lot of money.

Johnny Depp Almost Met His Fate at the Hooves of a Horse in a ‘Lone Ranger’ Stunt [VIDEO]
Since Johnny Depp has played every character under the sun -- a crazed hat-making ginger, dude with scissors for hands, serial-killer-barber, pirate, vampire, gonzo journalist, chocolate factory owner, undercover cop, cocaine dealer, cross-dressing director -- he figured he'd take a leap and play a Native American in the film version of 'The Lone Ranger.'
