The Hangover

GQ's Men of the Year issue for 2009 has been revealed with five different covers. For the second year in a row they have named President Barack Obama as "Leader of the Year." (We're not sure what the competition for that one looks like.)

Well, that’s a new one.

Lindsay Lohan could have been in one of the summer's biggest blockbusters so far, but turned it down.

The Hangover’s director Todd Phillips wanted Lilo to play the part of stripper Jade (how appropriate), but turned she it down saying the script had “no potential.”

No sweetie, that’s your career.

The role went to Heather Graham, and the flick has made $205 million so far.

Smart move, Linds.

Duh! We saw this coming from a mile away.

The summer comedy has been the box office champ two weeks in a row, and has grossed $110.3 million.

“We were thinking of sequel ideas when we were shooting, which sounds cocky, but we were doing it more because it was just fun to talk about ideas while hanging out on the set,” director Todd Phillips explained. “Two weeks ago I was saying, ‘let’s see how it works out.’ Now that the movie has really connected, it’s something we’re doing for sure.”

It's usually a bad thing when a hangover lingers longer than expected (not that we would know, or anything...), but for Hollywood it means box office gold.

The Hangover was the top earning movie for the second weekend in a row, taking in $33.4 million for a total of $105.4 million so far.

Disney/Pixar's Up was a close second with $30.5 million. This weekend's big new film, the John Travolta and Denzel Washington vehicle The Taking of Pelham 123 came in third with a disappointing $25 million. 

We were seeing double when The Hill’s vixen, Kristin Cavallari attended The Wizard of Oz's 70th Anniversary Screening in L.A.

And the night before Heather Graham wore the same shredded mini-dress to The Hangover premiere in Ireland.

MTV is paying Cavallari enough now, she should be able to afford a better stylist to avoid these nasty fashion faux pas. 

The movie hasn’t even been released yet but writer/director Todd Phillips has already been hired to write a sequel to The Hangover. 

The movie, which opens on June 5th, stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis as best friends who head to Las Vegas for their buddy’s bachelor party, only to lose the groom-to-be (Justin Bartha) just hours before he is due to exchange vows.
