Box Office: A Memorable Prom Weekend
Maybe it's that time of the year, or perhaps there was a strong nationwide desire to see a scary movie, but whatever the reason, horror flick Prom Night was crowned queen at the box office this weekend. Variety reports that the movie's $22.7 million marks the best opening for a horror picture so far this year, possibly due to the teen-friendly PG-13 rating.
Though Street Kings is loaded with bloodshed and big names like Forest Whitaker and Keanu Reeves, it was still no match for the teen screamfest, earning second place with an estimated $12 million.
Buzz In: Did You Have A Prom Song?
The horror remake Prom Night, opening this weekend, doesn't look like the kind of movie I'd love, but it did get me thinking about my own prom (which was, thankfully, free of blood and guts). There was a vague Dirty Dancing theme to mine, and the prom song was "I've Had the Time of My Life," which seemed a little presumptuous to me. As Rayanne from My So-Called Life would say, I had a time, but I certainly wouldn't call it the time of my life.
It's Pop Culture Prom Week
Break out the wrist corsages and sparkly tiaras — it's prom week! Yes, I know it's only January, but the pop culture universe has brought everyone's favorite spring formal back this week, big time. Consider:
- We kicked off the week with the new trailer for Prom Night, the remake of the '80s horror flick that makes your own prom night, no matter how heinous, seem tame.
- Then, NBC Entertainment Co-Chair Ben Silverman invoked the memory of the formal in an interview with E!
Movie Previews: Prom Night, Then and Now
You know, I think I would be much more impressed by this trailer for the new version of horror movie Prom Night if it were maybe one minute shorter, or otherwise didn't include what seems like way too much of the film in the preview. As it is, I think the first part of the preview is scary enough, nothing original, but it is a remake after all. By the last 30 seconds or so, though, I'm bored.

Grey's Anatomy Rundown: Episode 23, "Here's to the Future," and Episode 24, "Now or Never"
Grey's Anatomy just wouldn't be the same without an intense season finale. After all, this is the show that had Burke shot, killed Denny, and had Meredith build a house of candles. But even by Grey's standards, Thursday's finale was a doozy.
Blake and Penn Play With Shrek, Serena and Dan Hit the Prom
Blake Lively and Penn Badgley headed to Broadway over the weekend to check out Shrek: The Musical before posing with the famous green ogre himself. Last night, we got treated to a unique Gossip Girl. What could have been an awesome prom episode was overshadowed by Lily's potential spinoff — though many of you are interested in seeing more.
Gossip Girl Fashion Quiz: Episode 24 "Valley Girls"
It's a mixed crowd in how we feel about the Gossip Girl spinoff. If you didn't enjoy last night's flashbacks — I love how they melded the two times together — you're probably not feelin' it. If you did, like moi, you were probably highly amused by the good-girls-turned-bad Rhodes sisters from the Valley.
Gossip Girl Beauty Quiz: Episode 24, "Valley Girls"
Rather hyped up as a potential spinoff series, were you loving the '80s flashbacks on last night's Gossip Girl? While it was totally interesting to get more background on a young (rebellious!) Lily, I found it a bit distracting from the present-day prom storyline . .
