...attracts the interest of a hottie, secured third place with $9.6 million. Just behind that, at $8.3 million, was the love story Remember Me, starring vampire swoon king Robert Pattinson; not nearly enough Twilight fans booked tickets on the young male dreamboat. The interracial Our Family Wedding, with America Ferrara and Forest Whitaker, earned $7.6 million to finish sixth (after the holdover Shutter Island). So the four brand-new movies took in only about $40 million. It's the first weekend since the chill of pre-Avatar December when only two movies made more than $10 million...

...allies have begun to question his past behavior and current handling of the crisis. Industry Minister Claudio Scajola, publicly one of Berlusconi's most loyal allies, counseled "more prudence" to the man in charge, though ultimately he blamed the woes on opposition hatchet men. Conservative newspaper editor Giuliano Ferrara, a longtime behind-the-scenes adviser, was less forgiving, writing in a column last week that the Prime Minister essentially had to choose between continuing with "parties and beautiful girls" and seeing through his political agenda.
