It was a strong weekend for unusual creatures this weekend: The Smurfs tied with Cowboys & Aliens for first at the box office. Both films earned .2 million.

Cowboys & Aliens Trailer

Despite the deadlock, Cowboys & Aliens comes out as a loser. Considering the star power involved and the budget (3 million), expectations were high for the Jon Favreu-directed thriller. Instead, it barely made half of what the top superhero-based flicks of the summer took home in their first weekend.

A look at the top five:

1. The Smurfs: .2 million
2. Cowboys & Aliens: .2 million
3. Captain America: The First Avenger: .9 million
4. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2: .9 million
5. Crazy, Stupid Love: .3 million

Even Angelina Jolie can’t do it all.

Between acting, directing, raising six kids and saving the world, she’s got a lot on her plate. As she gets older, the 36-year-old knows something has to give.

What she’s likely to give up first is an easy call.

The Oscar winner, whose directorial debut is in post-production, and who will be starring in a remake of the Elizabeth Taylor film Cleopatra, said:

“As Brad and I get older we’re going to do fewer films. I’ve been working a long time, he’s been working a long time. We’ve had a nice run and don’t want to be doing this indefinitely, our whole lives. There are a lot of other things to do.”

“You’re drawn to certain roles because they question something about life, about love, about freedom. You ask these questions as you grow up: am I strong enough, am I sane enough? Do I understand love, do I understand myself?”

Jolie continues, “I’m older and I know who I am … and I’m less interested in the character helping me answer something … than in being able to answer it for myself, as a woman, as an adult, with my family.”

For Angelina, answers that she once sought to find from her characters can now be found as she travels the world, taking her adopted children to their home countries and doing massive amounts of charity work.

Of course, Jolie has said that same exact thing a number of times previously; she first mentioned it in 2006, and then again in 2008.

Think she’ll really pull herself away?

First, Ben Affleck. Now, Diddy.

Tabloids are really desperate to get Jennifer Lopez back together with an ex.

A source tells BET that Diddy really wants to get back together with new newly-single ex because she is “the love of his life” and his “fantasy girl.” However, friends worry that J. Lo will break the hip hop mogul’s heart again, similar to how she dumped him in 1999 when he was on trial for weapons charges.

Witnesses claim to have seen Lopez and Diddy together in New York City this week, while a friend of the former says:

“Puff wouldn’t be my first choice for her, but then again he was always very supportive of her sex symbol image and never got mad when she wore sexy clothes. He actually encouraged it.”

For those of you unfamiliar with the rumors surrounding Jennifer’s divorce, that was a direct dig at Marc Anthony. Yes, it’s on, folks.

Crystal Harris, you’ve messed with the octogenarian.

That’s the message Jayde Nicole has sent to Hugh Hefner’s former fiancee, after Harris humiliated the Playboy founder by telling the world he only lasts for two seconds in bed.

“Hef doesn’t usually react to things so it must have been really bad for him to take to Twitter in attack mode,” Nicole told E! News. “You don’t want to pick a fight with Hef, he’s not someone you want to go up against.”

Harris has since apologized (which Jayde says was “definitely smart to do”), and Hefner has seemingly moved on with a couple new girlfriends. But you never know how the old man might seek revenge.

He could drop his pants at any time and scar you for life.

It’s small, but important and effective and it forces us to give major props to Miley Cyrus.

The singer Tweeted the words “All LOVE is Equal,” last night, along with her new tattoo, which is an equal sign. Check it out below:

Cyrus has made her views on gay marriage well known over the years. She spoke out against Carrie Prejean in 2009 and she brought up the topic in contrast with the Casey Anthony verdict a few weeks ago.

In this example, someone disagreed with Miley over Twitter, which prompted the following response: “where does it say in the bible to judge others? Oh right. It doesn’t. GOD is the only judge honey. ‘GOD is love.’”
