Monday Memo
The Marvel Comics film "Marvel's The Avengers" topped the weekend box office once again, earning over $55 million dollars. "Battleship", "The Dictator", "Dark Shadows" and "What To Expect When You're Expecting" round out the top five films of the week. Sad news out of the world of music. Robin Gibb, founding member of the Bee Gees, has died of cancer. He was 62. He, along with brothers Barry and Maurice, went on to have several hits during the seventies and eights and defined the disco era. The group wrote and produced the soundtrack to the film "Saturday Night Fever", which went on the become the best selling soundtrack album of all time. Robin Gibb left an incredible musical legacy behind that won't be forgotten. The Billboard Music Awards aired last night, and all and all was a great show. A tribute was paid to the late Whitney Houston by John Legend and Jordin Sparks. The singer's daughter Bobbi Kristina accepted the Milennium Award of behalf of her mother, along with the singer's sister-in-law Patricia Houston. However, web site TMZ reported that there was some squabbling between Patricia Houston and Bobby Brown, Houston's ex-husband over who should accept the award. This hasn't been confirmed and there's been no comment on the matter from the Houston family. Chris Brown and Usher performed, and Wiz Khalifa accepted the award for Best New Artist. Rapper Lil Wayne and his entourage have been accused of attacking a photographer once again. Another photographer claims he was attacked after he attempted to get a picture of Weezy while he was skateboarding. The man says he was hit from behind with a skateboard. So far, no word on whether charges will be filed. After rumors surfaced that she's come out of the closet and is now living with a former "America's Next Top Model" contestant, actress Raven Simone took to Twitter to shoot the rumors down by saying that her sexual orientation is for her and the person she's dating. The John Travolta saga continues. The accusers seem to be coming out of the wood work. Two more male masseurs have now come forward claiming the actor behaved inappropriately while in their presence. One claims the star asked for a massage in the thigh area, then began to grind on the table before pleasuring himself. Another claims the actor grabbed his butt after he arrived to give him a massage. The first victim in the case has been identified as a over six feet tall 230lbs football player. No word on when or if a court date will be set. It's down to the wire on ABC's "Dancing With The Stars". The final three couples will perform for votes tonight. Tune in. Donald Trump named Arsenio Hall the winner of "The Celebrity Apprentice". On the tube: "House" on Fox, "How I Met Your Mother" on CBS, "Dancing With The Stars" on ABC and ""America's Got Talent" on NBC. Happy Monday!
