• Movies for a stay-at-home Saturday night

  We can't think of a better way to celebrate the night before the Oscars® than by watching a bunch of movies that never had a prayer of being nominated for much of anything. So if tonight finds you stuck at home, there are a few options to choose from:

  On HBO, a a pampered canine becomes a troubled youth's  best pal and a rundown firehouse's official mascot in Firehouse Dog. 

  On Starz, Halle Berry encounters danger in cyberspace in the sexy thriller Perfect Stranger.

  And on Cinemax, Ryan Gosling tries to prevent Anthony Hopkins from getting away with murder in Fracture.

• Weekend Box Office: Good news for Spielberg, Lucas

  Looks like their new Indy 4 star Shia LaBeouf can open a movie after all. LaBeouf's Rear Window remake Disturbia took the top spot in this weekend's box office tally, raking in $23 million, according to boxofficemojo.com. The news wasn't nearly as good for the rest of this weekend's new releases, as holdovers Blades of Glory and Meet the Robinsons took second and third place with $14 million and $12 million, respectively. Halle Berry's thriller Perfect Stranger came in fourth with a disappointing $11.5 million take. Rounding out the top five was Ice Cube's family flick Are We Done Yet?, which made $9.2 million.

• Halle Berry finally coming to terms with her hotness

  Perfect Stranger star Halle Berry recently reflected on the merits of turning 40 and the lessons she's learned:

  "I’ve become really comfortable with my sexuality and making no excuses for it anymore," said Berry. "It’s part of being a woman. It's part of what empowers us when we’re smart enough to know how to use it."

  I applaud Halle for having the courage to confront such a difficult issue. Interestingly enough, I've been comfortable with her sexuality for quite some time now. Good to see Halle catching up.

  Check out our full interview with the newly empowered star of Perfect Stranger.

• Halle Berry going bald

  While promoting her latest project, the thriller Perfect Stranger, star Halle Berry mentioned today that she intends to shave her head entirely for one of her upcoming projects, the romantic comedy Nappily Ever After. "I'm gonna be greasehead bald," the Catwoman star boasted.

  Now, I can certainly understand it when actors ugly themselves up for Oscar, but for a romantic comedy? It's not like shaving her head will make the movie funnier. Besides, the title alone indicates that she's already struck comedy gold.

  It looks like Berry's Oscar win for Monster's Ball is finally paying off. Years ago, she could never have dreamed of having access to projects of obvious quality like Nappily Ever After.
