2. "The Bourne Legacy," $17 million ($18.2 million international).

3. "ParaNorman," $14 million ($2 million international).

Jay Cut: Deadline Hollywood claims The Tonight Show axed 20 staffers on Friday. Jay Leno took a pay cut to save as many other jobs as he could. The NY Post claims Jay will now earn $20 million a year instead of $30 million. A source says, "I don’t think ad sales are off. I just think the people who bought this company, Comcast, wants to go through everything at NBC and get their money back. It’s hard to go through those kinds of cuts. It’s more a network issue than a late-night issue. And I would say that Jay doesn’t get credit for digging out of a gigantic hole every single night. He’s a very valuable guy to NBC and someday everyone will understand that. He does a great job."

Wrong is Right: Richard Brown recently won a $1 million lottery with the wrong ticket. He asked a Taunton, Massachusetts store clerk for a $5 “Blue Ice 7s” ticket. The distracted clerk accidentally gave him a “Sizzlin 7s” ticket. Brown won and will receive a one-time lump sum payment of $430,000 after taxes. He plans to buy a new roof and go to San Francisco.

R.I.P.: Tony Scott, who directed "Top Gun," "Beverly Hills Cop II," "Enemy of the State," and "The Taking of Pelham 123'', committed suicide yesterday by jumping off an L.A. bridge. He left a suicide note in his car. Officials used sonar equipment to find Scott's body in the water. He was 68.

Bobbi Kristina and her 'adopted brother' and boyfriend, Nick Gordon, walked the red carpet together at the premiere of Sparkle.

Katie Holmes recently went on a shopping spree. A source tells the National Enquirer she bought $14,200 worth of lingerie. "She also bought 15 pairs of pricey Christian Louboutin shoes and went on a tear at Barneys New York department store, buying a closet's worth of clingy cocktail dresses and power suits to wear to auditions and meetings."

Katie taught Suri how to ride a bike this past weekend.

Man Swallows Fork: London doctors recently removed a fork from Lee Gardner's stomach. He swallowed it in 2002 and forgot about it because he thought it passed naturally. Lee says, ''I had been vomiting blood, and when they were looking inside me with the camera the doctor said: "Are you sure you’ve not swallowed anything?" I said no but when he said: "Are you sure, I can see prongs of what appears to be a fork?" - I remembered accidentally swallowing one years and years ago. I couldn’t believe it. I have never had any problems with my stomach, except once a couple of years ago I remember thinking I felt like something had lodged when I bent over awkwardly. But the advice when I swallowed it from the doctor was that it would just pass through my system and as that was so many years before I really didn’t think it could be the fork.''

The Sun and gossip columnist Janet Charlton claim Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel got married on Saturday in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Janet says, “They pulled a fast one! They are in the middle of their ceremony at a very fancy private estate.''

Kristen Stewart is in hiding. A source tells RADAR Online, “Kristen has been hiding ever since the story of her affair with Rupert broke – and she doesn’t plan on breaking that habit just yet. Unlike Rob, who faced the music and threw himself into promoting his new movie Cosmopolis, Kristen isn’t comfortable with facing a barrage of questions about the cheating scandal. Her pals have urged her to follow Robert’s lead and dosome interviews for On The Road – just to get it over and done with. The sooner she faces the music, the quicker it will all end and the media glare will fall on someone else. However, Kristen is scared. The backlash from her Twilight fans has upset her - she’s lost and doesn’t know what to do.''

A source tells Showbiz Spy, “Kristen is a nervous wreck and existing on a diet of cigarettes, sugar-free Red Bull and the occasional bag of potato chips. She’s been hiding out at the LA home of a producer friend and is looking pale and worn-out. Whenever anyone tries to push her to eat even a small bowl of soup, she either claims that she’s just had something, which isn’t true, or that she’s nauseous and there’s no chance of keeping anything down.”

Robert Pattinson and Kristen won't attend any Twilight conventions.

Ryan Lochte celebrated his 28th birthday over the weekend in Vegas by partying at Azure, the pool venue at the Palazzo. At one point, he changed out of a patriotic swimsuit and into a pink Speedo.

Lady GaGa is on a gluten-free diet. A source says, ''Gaga has decided to go on a major body blitz and cut out all gluten and wheat from her diet, which is very hard to do. She has given her people strict Instruction to advise staff at venues and restaurants about her new diet because she is taking it very seriously. 'Her aim is to drop 10lbs in a month.''

Ellen and Portia de Rossi celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary by partying with Katy Perry and Gwen Stefani

J Lo is releasing a 3D concert film called Dance Again.

Five guy behaviors behind the wheel --and what they mean: 

Some folks believe in horoscopes, numerology, or tarot cards, but the love gurus over at Yahoo.com discovered a new way to really find out what's going on in Captain Fantastic's mind. Here are five behaviors and what they could indicate when he's behind the wheel!

   1. He has Road Rage, Yells, Curses or Drives Too Fast. This could signal lots of pent-up frustration he needs to release --try talking to him or encouraging a new hobby.
   2. He Gets Quiet Behind the Wheel. This poor fellow might need a little r-n-r, don't take it personally --he's just trying to unwind.
#!#!#
   3. He Wants To Talk About Your Relationship. These problems have probably been on his mind for a while and he wants to chat when you're truly alone. Try to make the conversation productive and goal-oriented, no raising voices or throwing out accusations.
   4. He Lets You Do Most of the Driving. He's happy taking a backseat in the relationship and wants you to be in control.
#!#!#
   5. He Drives Too Slowly, or Stops at a Lot of Rest Stops. This might mean he's careful, indecisive about life or just not goal-oriented. Speed Racer may need lots of positive encouragement so don't expect to get to your "destination" anytime soon. (Lee)

Back To School: 22 Things Your Kid's Principal Won't Tell You (But Wants You To Know)

Straight from the principal's office: Use these tips for a better school year.

1. If you want to talk to me about a problem, schedule a morning appointment, when I'm fresh.
By the afternoon, I can get pretty frazzled.

2. You're right, that teacher does stink.
I'm actually in the process of firing her. Legally, I can't tell you that, though, so that's why I'm sitting here quietly while you complain.

3. Of course I'm going to disapprove of a child missing class for vacation.
What I won't tell you is that I encouraged my own daughter to pull her kids out of school to visit me during my break.

4. We had a young man struggling to focus during year-end tests.
"My underwear is on backward," he said. That's the problem with all this testing: We're being judged by assessments taken by kids who may have their underwear on backward.

5. You think that what happens at home stays at home?
We hear about your financial problems, your nasty fights, your drinking problem. We end up knowing way too much about everybody.

6. The child you see at home?
That's almost never the one we see at school.

7. Don't tell me your child would never lie to you.
All kids make mistakes, and great students are often the ones most afraid to tell their parents when they screw up.

8. When we have a child who throws things or tries to hit when she's angry...
...her parents inevitably say, "I don't have a problem with her at home, because I spank her."

9. My biggest pet peeve?
Parents who complain to me before talking to the teacher.

10. Don't ask me to make a teacher forgive a homework assignment or not to teach a specific subject.
We don't dictate to teachers; we work with them.

11. I've had a few students who were bullies.
We suspend them again and again, but it's very tough to expel a student. The truth is, they have a right to an education.

12. Kids are easy.
It's the parents who are tough. They're constantly trying to solve their kids' problems for them.

13. What do I love about this job?
I can influence and inspire kids and adults, help work through problems, and find solutions. And every day I can pop into a classroom where something interesting is going on. What other job gives you all of that?

14. C’mon parents, this is your child’s homework, not yours.
We know what a seventh-grader can do, and we know what an adult with an engineering degree can do, so please don’t do your child’s work for him. Kids need to make mistakes and struggle through things; it’s how they learn.

15. Principals never know what the day will hold.
One minute you’re mopping up vomit, the next you’re in a special ed meeting, and the next you’re dealing with two kids who got in a fight. Then you shovel snow off the sidewalk in front of school, you meet with teachers to decide whether to change the language arts curriculum, and you play basketball with a group of kids. And that’s just in the first two

16.The last thing I want to do on the sidelines of a basketball game or during intermission at the school play is have a conference with you about your child.
If you have something to talk to me about, come by my office during the day or even better, make an appointment.

17. If you and your child don’t like his teacher, tough luck.
Think of it as a lesson: In school, as in life, sometimes you have to learn to deal with things you don’t like.

18. When an unruly student gets sent to my office, my favorite strategy is not to engage right away.
I just let them sit there in agony while I keep working. It gives them a chance to calm down and de-escalate. Try it at home; it works.

19. For years, folks have said that if you can’t do anything else, you can always go into education.
The truth is, we’re not the leftovers, and this is what most of us wanted to do. I had been accepted to law school, but I chose this.

20. Our favorite kids aren’t necessarily the ones with the highest IQs.
What we really value is hard work.

21. Since the economy has gotten bad, it seems that more parents are taking any job they can get, working crazy hours and neglecting their children.
Then a lot of them try to make up for that by coming to their child’s rescue when there’s an issue with a teacher, coming in here and hollering at us.

22. As a principal, you’re expected to know about bus routes, curriculum, communication, school lunches, adolescent development, conflict management, learning disabilities, and more.
You have to be an expert on everything, sometimes in the same 20 minutes.
