Jaws are dropping all over Hollywood: “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” an inexpensive sequel from a three-year-old independent studio, sold a supernatural $140.7 million in tickets over the weekend in North American theaters…
The huge No. 1 opening gave “New Moon” a rarefied perch in the motion picture industry’s record books. It ranks as the third-biggest opening on record, behind the pop culture behemoths “The Dark Knight,” which sold $158.4 million last year, and “Spider-Man 3,” which sold $151.1 million in 2007. “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest” previously held the third spot with $135.6 million.

Vanja Mrgan: “Bearded: The Series”
Vanja was sitting on the toilet (thanks for that, Vanja!) reading a Conan story, when it abruptly occurred to him: “Conan should have a beard!” He immediately (well, almost immediately) went to work, reimagining a number of his favorite pop-culture icons as grade-B beard-sporting badasses.

Schoolhouse Rap! of the Day: “How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore / and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot / In the Carribbean, by Providence impoverished, to squalor / Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?”: Tony Award nominated actor Lin-Manuel Miranda (as seen on House) performs “The Hamilton Mixtape” — a rap about Alexander Hamilton from the POV of Aaron Burr — at the White House Evening of Poetry, Music, and the Spoken Word.
