The Justin Files, 5/26 Weekly Wrap Up


The competitions come to a close
We have a new Dancing with the Stars champ as well as a new American Idol.

Kristi Yamaguchi took home the mirror ball trophy on Dancing.

David Cook won the Duel of the Davids on Idol. In fact "Cookie" has already signed a record deal, with his debut CD due out in the Fall, and he's scored the biggest single debut for an Idol since season 2.


Lots of Angelina news
Angelina Jolie has been in the gossip pages a lot in the past week or so. First, a British tabloid reported that she planned to name her forthcoming twins after the mythical twins of the Gemini astrological sign, "Castor" and "Pollox". Because they won't get beat up on the playground.

And then just today, Entertainment Tonight reported that Angie has given birth to the twin girls and named them "Isla Marcheline" and "Amelie Jane" which, thankfully, don't sound like infections.

But People denied that report, saying that the lippy star is still just as pregnant as she was yesterday.

So basically, nobody knows what's going on for sure.


Movie News
No big surprise, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull had an enormous Memorial Day weekend, raking in $126 million. Good for 2nd on the all time Memorial Day weekend list, behind only last year's Pirates of the Caribbean flick.

Obviously an almost 20 year layoff didn't hurt Indy, so Eddie Murphy is hoping to cash in on reboot mania. He'll dust off another classic character as Detective Axel Foley looks to hit movie screens in another Beverly Hills Cop installment. A release is tentatively scheduled for 2010, so it would make it to multiplexes 16 years after the last sequel.


The strangest story of the week...and possibly ever
If the gossip rags are right, it looks like Clay Aiken might be a daddy in the not too distant future. Of course there's nothing all that strange about that fact. Here's where it starts to get a little unusual - the mother would apparently be his 50 year old record producer who was artificially inseminated with Clay's...umm..."DNA".


Quick Hits
* Rumors of the demise of Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo's romance may have been greatly exaggerated, they apparently spent the whole Memorial Day weekend together.

* Speaking of Simpsons, Ashlee has officially confirmed the speculation, she is pregnant.

* Bill Murray's divorce is getting ugly with his estranged wife accusing him of drug addiction, abuse, adultery, and abandonment.

* Donald Trump is selling his Trump Marina Hotel Casino in AC for a reported $315 million to none other than Jimmy Buffett, who will naturally rename the property "Margaritaville".
