After four weekends in the top spot, box office heavyweight champ The Hunger Games has finally been brought down. Think Like a Man opened to $33 million in its first weekend, which is more than double The Hunger Games' $14.5 million intake. Zac Efron's romantic drama The Lucky One also overtook The Hunger Games, winding up in second with $22.8 million in its debut weekend. Documentary Chimpanzee came in fourth with $10.2 million, followed by The Three Stooges, which took in $9.2 million in its second week.

Cheeta the Chimp Campaigns For a Star on the Walk of Fame!

Will seven times be the charm for Cheeta the chimp?

Will seven times be the charm for Cheeta the chimp? This famous monkey is once again petitioning the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to give him a star in 2009. Star of the 1967 comedy Dr. Doolitte and the Tarzan movies, Cheeta would become the first monkey to hold this honor.

Inclusion on the Hollywood Walk of Fame will not only give recognition to one of the international, animal megastars of all time, but focus attention on his fellow primates in the wilds of Africa who now face extinction.

Although he retired in 2003, the talent has eight movies under his belt, and a Guinness Record for being the oldest living chimp born April 9, 1932! He's up against some 200 other contenders for about 24 stars but I believe in lucky seven – I already signed Go Cheeta!

Although, when looking at this picture, I don't think anyone would see this chimpanzee as a human, that designation could very well change this animal's life. Matthew Hiasl Pan has been living in a shelter in Austria for the last 25 years, but now that organization is going bankrupt, leaving his happy home in jeopardy. Animal rights group, Association Against Animal Factories, petitioned to be appointed Matthew's trustee — and donors have come forward to help support the chimp. Sounds great, right?
