Katy Perry certainly knows how to make an entrance. The pop diva descended onto the stage at Vh1's Salute the Troops in a huge parachute, emblazoned with the American flag. She cut a sexy figure in a pair of blue sparkly hotpants teamed with a Stars and Stripes plunging top and knee-high white boots.
It was one of four racy outfits worn by the 26-year-old singer throughout the night, which was put on to honour the work of the America's military. In typically attention-grabbing fashion, Perry also wore an eye-catching gold dress, complete with matching studded peep-toe heels and a sailor hat and later slipped into a strapless red number split to the thigh.
Tangled rid itself of any knots as it climbed to the top of the box office on Friday, grossing $5.1 million, according to early estimates. That’s a 74 percent drop from last Friday, which, mind you, was an enormous day for moviegoing. The PG animated musical should receive a decent bump on Saturday, as most family films do, and finish the weekend with about $21 million. In second place, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1 descended 77 percent for $4.8 million on Friday. It’s on track for an $18 million weekend, which would bring its cumulative gross to $245 million. The rest of the top five consisted of leftovers. The Cher-Christina Aguilera musical Burlesque fell 56 percent for $2 million, while right on its heels was the R-rated romantic comedy Love and Other Drugs, which slipped only 48 percent for $2 million as well. (Burlesque is estimated to have earned $25,000 more than Love and Other Drugs on Friday). And in fifth place was the Denzel Washington action thriller Unstoppable, which skidded 59 percent for $1.9 million.
Since we broke the news a couple days ago that Google’s secret social project, formerly known as “Emerald Sea“, is now being called “Google +1″, we’ve gotten more confirmation about the naming. This includes people more confident that this could well be the name Google ends up going with. We’ve also heard a couple other new interesting tidbits about the project.
