Pizza the action

UPDATE: We’ve got more details on Piece’s charity auction, which lets you bid on a chance to have Cheap Trick lead guitarist (and Piece partner) Rick Nielsen deliver pies to your door.

At noon Friday, bidders can go to piecechicago.com for a piece of the action--you'll be directed to the eBay auction page from there. The auction will run for 10 days, and all proceeds will benefit PAWS.

The prize? Nielsen shows up at your house (Chicago or the ’burbs only) in his limo with five pizzas. No word on whether he’ll sing for his supper.

Box office blog: The power of the 'Panda'

Even a box office heavyweight like Adam Sandler is helpless against a big, cuddly, animated panda with the voice of Jack Black. Thanks to months of marketing and other big-name voices like Angelina Jolie and Dustin Hoffman, "Kung Fu Panda" kicked up major dollars over the weekend, earning $60 million to top the box office. But Sandler still proved he can draw a crowd to even the most ridiculous premise, helping the surprisingly funny "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" bring in a hefty $40 million to land at No. 2. That's nearly $6 million more than "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" made in its debut in 2007 ($34.2 million), which is nice because, ya know, "Chuck and Larry" was absolutely horrible.

Were you more drawn to the animated antics of "Panda" or the goofy assassin-turned-hairstylist plot of "Zohan"? Which looks better this week: "The Incredible Hulk" or M. Night Shyamalan's "The Happening?
