Who will win "So You Think You Can Dance"? Will............................................ 5/2 Katee........................................... 9/2 Joshua.......................................... 6/1 Chelsie......................................... 7/1 Twitch......................................... 10/1 Mark........................................... 12/1 Courtney....................................... 15/1 Comfort........................................ 25/1 Between the Lines: Dancing? Look, we here at "Hollywood and Line" have to cover all the reality/competition shows, and even though Norman Mailer and his crowd said tough guys don't dance, we like to watch. Actually, I am probably one of the few men alive that has had the honor of seeing both Rudolf Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov dance live, and I'm not gay -- not that there's anything wrong with that. Even if you don't like dancing, you should try and catch one show and see this kid Will turning a pas de deux. And, if you didn't take a few years of French in high school, pas de deux means "step of two." And if you still don't care, we totally understand. Will is the clear favorite at the moment, with Katee, his current partner, and Joshua still in the hunt.
How much money will "The Dark Knight" rack up this weekend? $120 to $130 million........................... 10/1 $131 to $140 million........................... 10/1 $141 to $150 million............................ 5/1 $151 to $160 million............................ 5/1 $161 to $170 million............................ 4/1 $171 to $180 million............................ 3/1 More than $181 million......................... 10/1
Will Heath Ledger get nominated for an Oscar? Yes............................................ 1/10 No............................................. 12/1
Will Heath Ledger win an Oscar? Yes............................................. 1/3 No.............................................. 3/1 Between the lines: Crazy time. How crazy? REAL CRAZY! According to Nikki Finke in Deadline Hollywood Daily (www.deadlinehollywooddaily.com), "The Dark Knight's" midnight shows gobbled up $18.4 million and knocked old record holder, "Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith," with $16 million, out of the penthouse. We're not totally locked in on this next statement, but we would not be surprised if "The Dark Knight" comes close to "Titanic," the all-time box-office king.
