As expected, surprised to the high side in its debut, raking in a solid $22.4M and setting up Katherine Heigl as a real draw.

SING-ALONG: The Music Center’s annual Holiday Sing-Along happens tonight. Don't know the words? Songsheets will be provided. The singing takes place outside, so bundle up – or spike your personal egg nog stash.

Last night Austrailian comedian Tim Minchin brought his act to Los Angeles and the ACME Theatre after performances in New York and Las Vegas. On the heels of being named Best Alternative Comedian at the 2007 HBO US Comedy Arts Festival, Minchin's act did not disappoint with a seamless blend of original songs, wry observations, and increasingly amusing audience interaction.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who thinks of John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band every time I hear The Arcade Fire's "Keep the Car Running," off Neon Bible. I'm used to getting death threats for even suggesting that The Arcade Fire may be the most overrated band of the year but hey, it's not like I'm calling for Eddie and the Cruisers III. They ripped off a band that ripped off...

Now that the frenzied first weekend is over, it should be much easier going at the L.A. Film Festival in terms of actually getting to see a movie. Virtually every film playing today shows either standby availability or tickets available at the door. Free events, unfortunately, are in short supply. Of course, there's the daily Bands on Broxton at noon and 7 p.m. at the Festival Promenade, but the only other free event is the Director Lunch Talk at 12:30 p.m. at the Target Red Room. Los Angeles Times entertainment writer John Horn will be speaking with Jeffrey Blitz, director of Rocket Science (at this year's LAFF) and the great spelling bee documentary from a few year's back, Spellbound.

Dear LAist, Roger Waters is playing the Hollywood Bowl tonight and you haven't said WORD ONE about it!

Congratulations, send us your cell phone number and we will buy you a beer at the show. We've had our...

Normally we would post a Tonight in Rock in LA list at this time, but in honor of the National Day of Mourning, most of the clubs have shut down for the night and those of us who like, let's say, the Dark Side of Things are celebrating with a Black Parade.

We still don't think that the color commentator, Lamar Thomas, deserved to get fired for describing the crazed feeling of his former teammates in the brawl in "The OB" - immortalized on YT. Sports Illustrated thinks differently. - SI They invented the easiest way to upload and share copywritten materials, then they handed over the name and info of one of its users to the Feds justlikethat. Then the studio sued the YouTuber. Has...

Yes he played your favorite Pink Floyd tunes, yes he played all of Dark Side of the Moon and yes he's playing again tonight at the Hollywood Bowl. Because the visuals are so good, you really can't lose by getting any old ticket that someone wants to offer you on Highland and going. Even the cheap benches. Even on the side. Even up in the hills. Why not? All Waters does is bob his...

He wrote The Wall, he wrote Animals, and he wrote pretty much all of Dark Side of the Moon; still, somehow, when Roger Waters split ways with guitarist David Gilmour and the rest of the band, it was the guitarist who got to keep the name Pink Floyd. And to add insult to injury, when the new Pink Floyd put out new records, it was they who outsold their songwriter. Tonight Waters returns to...

The hottest thing on YouTube and Google Video is the mashup of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" and the film classic "The Wizard of Oz".

As if the ghetto birds weren't enough, now the LA Sheriff is checking out unmanned drones for survelliance. Farewell privacy!
