It's hard to believe that Dakota Fanning is only sixteen, since it seems like she's been in her thirties since she was five, but this week was her big sweet sixteen birthday bash.

We don't know what she did, but judging by this picture, it looks like she had a wild time.

We're not used to Fanning in a tiara and ripped stockings. She's usually very put together. But it's nice to see that she's actually acting like a teenager for once.

Surprising approximately no one, James Cameron's much anticipated film Avatar ruled the box office on Friday with $27 million, setting it up to easily claim the top stop this weekend.

It was, however, a pretty underwhelming opening day compared to New Moon and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, which made $72 million and $62 million on their first days, respectively, earlier this year.

Taylor Lautner is dead-set on cashing on his abs, er, Twilight fame, while he can.

Just weeks after signing on to Max Steel, the New Moon star is reportedly in talks to star in a remake of the 1985 film Vision Quest.

After coming in second at the box office the past two weeks, The Blind Side has emerged victorious this Friday.

The football film led this Friday with $6.8 million, beating out its main competition, New Moon, which earned an additional $5.2 million for the day.

This weekend's new wide release, Brothers, came in third with $3.6 million.

Audiences loved him as a werewolf but how will they like him as an action hero?

New Moon's Taylor Lautner has been cast as the title character in an upcoming film based on Max Steel.

Max Steel is a character based on a 90s action figure and TV show from the early 2000s. Lautner will play Steel, a 19-year-old extreme sports enthusiast who becomes a secret agent.

We're on board as long as his abs get plenty of screen time.

We can now add one more item to the list of ways Jamie Foxx is like a teenage girl.

Not even vampires could overtake the popularity of football on Thanksgiving.

Sandra Bullock and The Blind Side beat out Kristen Stewart in New Moon yesterday, as the feel-good film took in $9.5 million. The second installment in the Twilight Saga was bumped to second place with $9.2 million.

Hollywood is the ultimate winner in this fight, however, as holiday ticket sales were up more than 20% compared with this time last year.

It appears that Twilight fans are just as hungry as ever for more of their favorite vampires and werewolves.

Despite being almost universally panned by critics, New Moon's midnight showings yesterday shattered box office records, bringing in $26.3 million. The previous record-holder was this summer's Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, which took in $22.2 million from its midnight viewing.

Miley Cyrus is no Twi-hard. She said that she's never seen Twilight and she never will.

Cyrus said: “I don’t believe in it. I don’t like vampires, I don’t like the wolf that pops out on the screen when I’m watching my TV at night. I don’t want anything to do with it. I don’t like the shirts. I don’t like any of it."

We've got two fashion offenders this week: Kristen Stewart and Cher.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
