Jim Carrey’s holiday film takes in $31 million; Jackson film slips to second
Jim Carrey's Scrooge collected holiday donations from movie fans with his new take on "A Christmas Carol," which took in $31 million to open as the weekend's top movie.
The Disney animated version of the Charles Dickens classic knocked the King of Pop out of the No. 1 spot as "Michael Jackson's This Is It" slipped to second place with $14 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.
Sony's "This Is It," presenting rehearsal performances Jackson shot before his death last June, raised its domestic total to $57.9 million. Worldwide, "This Is It" has taken in $186.5 million.

Anya also is featured on the New Moon soundtrack. Anya’s new album Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II is described by Anya as “like a skillful embodiment of that old storyteller’s adage “less is more.”
“The album is a tightly honed collection of winking pop gems and slyly sexy rock and roll that showcases this newcomer’s deft melodic sensibility and wryly humorous lyrical point of view. As sassy and seductive as its title suggests, it’s also keenly heartfelt, thanks to the intimacy of Marina’s appealingly conversational vocal style and the personal nature of her lyrics, which Marina says chronicle a relationship. “
Satellite Heart is her song on New Moon that everyone is talk about. Marina describes her album as the follows:

Jimmy the Greek on ESPN 30 for 30
at
10:36 PM
ESPN will air their "30 for 30" documentary on Jimmy the Greek on Tuesday November 10th. Though best known for his racist comment, Jimmy the Greek, born Jimmy Snyder in Ohio, was an NFL linesmaker in Las Vegas and a sports announcer for about a decade. After nearly 20 years of very successful linesmaking in Las Vegas, Jimmy the Greek was offered a position on CBS's The NFL Today as a football analyst. He held this position with great popularity until 1988, when he made racially-charged comments regarding African Americans. These comments caused CBS to fire him, and he spent the rest of his life living in Las Vegas until he passed away as a result of a heart attack on April 21, 1996.

at
10:29 PM
Elizabeth Lambert is a soccer player you don't want to mess with. The 20-year old University of New Mexico soccer player was known for pulling hair (thank God I don't have hair), and throwing punches at opposing players.
But this time Elizabeth Lambert's act was caught on video against BYU in the semifinals of the Mountain West Conference tournament, and now she's suspended from the team indefinitely. Check out this AP video:
Did you see that punch? Elizabeth Lambert drove her fist right into the back of BYU's Carlee Payne (#7).
She then not only pulls the hair of another BYU player, but throws her to the ground, all in one motion.
Who is Elizabeth Lambert?
Elizabeth Lambert is a junior at New Mexico and is 5'8 and her position is "Defender". She was born December 29, 1988 and according to her player bio enjoys camping, surfing, and tacos...in addition to hair pulling and fist throwing. She's majoring in University Studies with a focus on (drum roll please)...Occupational Therapy!
