...Helms has a missing front incisor; it never grew in when he was a kid. The actor mentioned this to the makers of his new movie, The Hangover, and they built a subplot around it, making Helms's character a dentist who, in a gesture of drunken machismo, pulls out his own tooth. That's just one element of serendipity that helped The Hangover - a no-star farce about three guys who lose their best friend on a Vegas toot - break the bank at this weekend's box office. Two other lucky breaks: the recent absence of R-rated guys...
...leading role of Phil, the smart, energetic audience surrogate, might have suited Jim Carrey or Vince Vaughn, so go with Bradley Cooper, who was Carrey's pal in Yes Man and Vaughn's preppie torturer in Wedding Crashers. Steve Carell would have been perfect for Stu, the amiable, henpecked dentist; but Ed Helms, Carell's cohort on The Daily Show and The Office, costs so much less.

If it stuck in your head like a toothache, the dentist was also providing some dreamy nitrous oxide...
...Frieda Rosemarie Thalheim, the Munich dentist who filed the complaint, said the law infringes on her personal rights. She wanted to prefix her name to that of her husband, the lawyer Hans-Peter Kunz-Hallstein. Thalheim's lawyer argued that Thalheim and her husband did not want to lose the good professional reputations associated with their old names, for fear it could be harmful to their careers. Thalheim also wanted to keep her old name to stress her connection with her children from her first marriage, while at the same time demonstrating unity with her second husband. (See pictures...
