Yet another week where the top film in Seoul and the top film in the rest of the country differed. BLACK HOUSE was the top film nationwide, according to the official KOBIS report.

And yet again, OCEAN'S 13 was the top film, even though there were four movies (BLACK HOUSE, SHREK 3, PIRATES 3 and HWANG JIN-YI) with more screens than the George Clooney casino movie. Amusingly, three of those films (all except PIRATES 3) were distributed by CJ Entertainment, a credit to the company's clout. HWANG JIN-YI, despite finishing in seventh this week, is still playing on 286 screens.

Sad to see HOT FUZZ open so poorly. But audiences here clearly missed out on most of the jokes in the first two-thirds of the movie -- especially the puns (which is to be expected, I guess) and the homoeroticism (no comment).

Yoo Ji Tae is a body guard in real life!!!
Song Hye kyo and Yoo Ji Tae were promoting their new movie Hwang Jin Yi last Sunday, which it the 17th.
Song Hye Kyo was bothered by one of her crazy fan. When Song Hye kyo was about to go back to the back stage, a crazy man rushed forward trying to get to her side. Before all the body guard can even make a reaction, Yoo Ji Tae jumped out and blocked that man. Because of his protection, Song Hye Kyo was safe, but he, himself got into a miner injury on his hand. Everybody was shocked afterwards. The producing company of this movie said Yoo Ji Tae was very gentleman like. He always hold Song Hye Kyo when she is trying to climb the stairs.

Eddie Murphy is the father of his ex-lover Melanie Brown's 11-week-old daughter, according to the former Spice Girl's spokeswoman. Brown received paternity test results on Thursday which reveal the Dreamgirls actor is the father of baby Angel Iris, the singer's representative tells website People.com. Murphy, who has continually denied the child is his, recently vowed to stand by Brown if a DNA test proved he was the dad.  He had been ordered by a court to provide a DNA sample, which he did at a Beverly Hills, California clinic on 11 June. Brown and Angel Iris attended the same surgery, where the child underwent a blood test.  Brown was "devastated" when Murphy publicly ended their romance on a Dutch TV show last year (06), saying, "I don't know whose child that is until it comes out and has a test."
