'Harry Potter' Poofed Out by 'G-Force' in the US Box Office

Yes, the boy wizard and his magical friends bowed down to a bunch of feisty guinea pig spies as the current US box office charts last weekend declared the Walt Disney's "G Force" gained the number one spot. "G-Force" is a 3D movie, which is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Although the cast were mere small-time rodents, the voice over cast consisted of Hollywood biggies like Nicolas Cage, Sam Rockwell, Tracy Morgan and Penelope Cruz. The film opened at $32.2 million and "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" came in too close with with an estimated $30 million. Harry Potter was number one last week and it was expected to still rule in its second week, but "G-Force" had enough force to stop the reign of the wizard boy at the tills.

It was indeed a tough act for "G-Force" to come out triumphant in the summer box office race, but it only proved that a combination of nifty 3D animation, a stellar voice over cast, Jerry Bruckheimer and Walt Disney brands are enough to convince moviegoers to flock at the cinemas. The Katherine Heigl starrer Ugly Truth came in third with 27 million. Below is the official trailer of "G-Force":

Harry Potter's Emma Watson Does Not Want to be Upstaged

Like her role as Hermione in Harry Potter, Emma Watson would always want to get her way no matter what. This is after the British actress who'll turn 19 this April 15 refused to have herself be photographed among slenderer and buxom-chested models in a Burberry fashion shoot in London last weekend.

In a report by
Daily Mail UK, Emma Watson was horrified upon arriving on set in finding out "she was to be pictured with a handful of lissom young women". A source revealed that "Emma was always supposed to be the leading lady, so when she found out it was girls she was in the campaign with, she put her foot down and had them removed from the line-up". So the producers replaced the women and now Emma is to be photographed around hunky male models. After signing a six-figure deal with Burberry a month ago, Emma is also signed up with the Storm modeling agency. Go ahead Emma, smarter gals always know what to do, right?
