No, Justin Timberlake is not going to star in a modern day version of Rumpelstiltskin sillies!

Even though we're well aware of his ability to spin straw into gold, the Mirrors singer will actually be proving his multi-talented prowess once again in the 1970s Neil Bogart biopic Spinning Gold!!!

The movie will tell the rags-to-riches story of the poor kid from Brooklyn who grew up to become a pop music culture legend by launching the careers of Curtis Mayfield, Gladys Knight, KISS, and the Village People to name a few.

Timothy Scott Bogart, script writer and son of the movie's subject, said:

Sorry, Jackie Robinson!

Tom Cruise just proved that he can still send a movie to the top of the box office!

In fact, with the actor's latest sci-fi extravaganza, Oblivion, he secured himself one of his biggest opening weekend ever, as it pulled in a pretty impressive $38.1 million!

Excluding the Mission: Impossible flicks, this his is most lucrative since War of the Worlds!

And that was when Dakota Fanning was still a child!

Despite his throne's usurpation, however, the aforementioned baseball legend's new biopic, 42, held steady at the #2 spot with $18 million, while Ryan Gosling's new indie The Place Beyond the Pines expanded release by 1,500 theaters and made it to #6, with $4.7 million!

Damn, Stevie Nicks! For a feminist, you sure aren’t showing much love for one of your fellow ladies!

In her recently released documentary, In Your Dreams, the Fleetwood Mac songstress discussed the possibility of Reese Witherspoon playing her in a future biopic, but said that at 37 years of age the actress might already be too old to play her:

Remember the good old days, back when TLC was a band instead of a network? LOLz!!

Nearly twenty years after its release, their seminal album CrazySexyCool remains one of the most fabulous R&B efforts ever recorded!

And we're super-duper excited to have stumbled across one of its previously undiscovered hidden gems!

Ch-ch-check out the rare alternate version of the vid for Creep (above)!

Whoa! This music video is way different than the glitzy, glamorous one MTV played on repeat back in the day!!!

In this ancient interview we also uncovered, the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes cops to hating this version — she DEMANDED the group shoot a new one!!!

Ha! We like it just fine!!

Aww! We miss the glory days of R&B and we can't wait for VH1's upcoming TLC biopic!!!

Sorry, Lindsay Lohan!

Even your toilet-clogging, crazy antics on the set of Scary Movie 5 couldn't generate it enough buzz to put it at the top of the box office for its opening weekend!

Instead, the distinct honor went to the critically-acclaimed Jackie Robinson bio-pic 42, when came in number one after making an estimated $27.3 million between Friday and today!

And that's pretty impressive in itself, seeing as the majority of movie-goers paying to see the flick were over the age of 25!

To be fair to Scary Movie 5, however, we're pretty sure everyone else below that age went to see the fifth installment of the horror movie parody franchise, as it managed to secure itself the #2 position, with $15.2 million.

Even that, however, wasn't enough to make back its production cost of $19.5 million! OUCH!

But you can see what over movies manage to fill out the rest of this weekend's box office top ten…AFTER THE JUMP!!!
