“Jurassic World” Can’t Be Stopped . . . Even By Pixar
The Disney / Pixar movie “Inside Out” made $91 million in its opening weekend, but that wasn’t enough to stop the JUGGERNAUT that is “Jurassic World” . . . which ruled the box office with another $102 million.
That’s the second-highest SECOND weekend in movie history, behind the original “Avengers”, which made $103.1 million in 2012. But when the final numbers are released tomorrow, “Jurassic World” could break THAT record, too.
It could also break the record for getting to $1 billion worldwide faster than any other movie. Its global take as of yesterday is $981.3 million . . . which means it could hit the mark by tonight. That’s 13 days. The previous record is 17 days, set by”Furious 7″ earlier this year.
Speaking of records “Jurassic World” has crushed, “Inside Out” will be the first Pixar movie to NOT open at #1. That’s a total of 15 movies, going all the way back to “Toy Story” in 1995.
Here are the Top 10 movies for this weekend . . .
1. “Jurassic World”, $102 million. Up to $398 million in its 2nd week.

Sammy Hagar Flipped Out on Eddie Van Halen After Eddie Ripped Michael Anthony’s Bass Playing and Singing
The ongoing feud between EDDIE VAN HALEN and SAMMY HAGAR got turned up a notch over the weekend, after Eddie took a shot at longtime VAN HALEN bassist MICHAEL ANTHONY, who’s now buddies with Sammy.
Eddie told “Billboard” he thinks his son WOLFGANG is a better bassist than Michael is . . . because, quote, “Every note Mike ever played, I had to show him how to play. Before we’d go on tour, he’d come over with a video camera and I’d have to show him how to play all the parts.”
Eddie also said he doesn’t think Michael’s backing vocals were all that great . . . quote, “Mike’s voice is like a piccolo trumpet. But he’s not a singer. He just has a range from hell. Mike was just born with a very high voice.
“I have more soul as a singer than he does . . . people always talk about Mike’s voice on Van Halen songs, but that’s a blend of Mike’s voice and my voice. It’s not just him.”
In response, Michael took the high road: Quote, “I’m proud to say that my bass playing and vocals helped create our sound. I’ve always chosen to stay out of the never-ending mudslinging, because it ultimately ends up hurting the fans.”
Not surprisingly, Sammy had something to say about this, and he was FURIOUS. In a Facebook video, he tore into Eddie, saying, quote, “Mikey was the most loyal guy in the band. He was the first guy there at rehearsal, the last guy to leave.”
“For Eddie to say he had to show him what to play . . . that’s the biggest line of [B.S.] I’ve ever heard in my life . . . Michael Anthony is a bad mother[effer]. [Eff] you, Eddie Van Halen for saying that about Mikey. You’re a liar.”
Check out the video:
By the way, Eddie also took some shots at DAVID LEE ROTH in the interview . . . and he admitted that they have no relationship whatsoever, and are just together out of obligation to the fans.
Eddie says, quote, “He does not want to be my friend . . . Roth’s perception of himself is different than who he is in reality. We’re not in our 20s anymore. We’re in our 60s. Act like you’re 60.”
He added that he’d like to record a new Van Halen album with Roth, but that’s difficult because, quote, “There are four people in this band, and three of us like rock ‘n’ roll. And one of us likes dance music.” That’s Roth, of course.
The Red Eyes You Get in a Pool Are From People Peeing in the Water
Here’s a story about pee and burning that ISN’T related to the terrible decisions you made in a back alley Tijuana brothel in 2002.
The CDC just released a statement on why you sometimes get red, itchy, or burning eyes when you go swimming in a pool. We all assumed for years that it was a reaction to the chlorine, right? Nope.
It’s actually because of all the people PEEING in the water.
It turns out that chlorine binds itself with the bacteria it’s trying to kill . . . and that includes all the bacteria in your pee and your sweat. Those chemical bonds are irritants that can sting your eyes.
There’s really nothing you can do to avoid it . . . but you CAN be part of the solution by showering before you swim. And, you know, having the basic human decency not to pee in a pool. (Snopes)
IPAs Give You Man Boobs?
Here in the craft beer era, IPAs are more popular ever. And they’ve got a lot going for them: They have more complex tastes and higher alcohol content than regular beers, plus you look hipper when you drink them.
But here’s a GIANT, floppy downside: They’re also giving you MAN BOOBS.
IPAs usually use more hops than other beers. But hops don’t just exist to make beer . . . herbalists use them to help women increase their estrogen production.
So when a man starts drinking IPAs instead of less hoppy beers, his estrogen levels can increase . . . and that can lead to breasts.
Plus, craft beers usually have more calories than beers like Coors Light. So you might gain more weight from drinking them . . . which could ALSO make your man boobs plump up. (Vice)
Did Emilia Clarke Just Reveal that Jason Momoa Has a Huge Package?
EMILIA CLARKE may have just outed her “Game of Thrones” co-star JASON MOMOA . . . for having a MASSIVE MEMBER.
On Britain’s “The Graham Norton Show”, Emilia was talking about filming a scene from Season One where Jason has sex with her character for the first time. And in order to lighten the mood, he wore a “beautiful, pink, fluffy sock” to cover his privates.
She said, quote, “It’s huge, and it’s pink, and I don’t know what to do.” Then she realized she just spilled a secret, and added, quote, “I just said that, yeah.” (Here’s video. Skip ahead to the 50-second mark.)
