During his checkered and illustrious career Clint Eastwood has probably seen it all and may a bit more than what he expected but at the winter box office last week his movie “Gran Torino” managed to rake in $29 million which is incidentally the best movie opening of his career.
What is even more astounding that the movie was initially in limited release for four weeks. But as movie goers started revving up to the story the prints jumped from 84 theaters to 2,808.
It was while directing this movie that Clint had famously commented that this movie would probably be his last as an actor and ever since then there has been tremendous interest amongst old and newbie fans to catch the legend on screen one last time.
I knew Gran Torino would be #1.Go Clint GO! Everything Clint touches turns to gold. Good for him!
Blake Fielder-Civil the jailed husband of singer Amy Winehouse has said through his lawyer that he is filing for divorce on the grounds of the soul diva’s alleged infidelity.
In May of 2007 Winehouse and Fielder-Civil married each-other and just six months into marriage Blake was arrested for an assault. He was subsequently sentenced to 27 months in jail for beating up a bar manager and then offering him a bribe to keep quiet about it.
But in those six months Blake ruined Amy’s entire life, he introduced her to drugs in a way that she is now a complete addict so its good news for Amy and something she would have wished dearly at the start of the new year.
At last she will be well rid of him…she needs this new man in her life to be a god send angel. She requires him to teach her a different kind of life….she does have talent, but there has been a shadow over her success…I’ll bet that looser of a husband will try to get half of her money…for what??? He didn’t do anything for her, but be a real pest…let’s face it she has a few million…
