Dylan biopic I'm Not There, which screened at the Venice Film Festival this week.

| Spider-Man 3 was the top-grossing film of Hollywood's record-setting summer, snaring $336.5 million through Labor Day, Exhibitor Relations Co. said. Shrek the Third ($321 million) finished second, and, in a mild upset, Transformers ($310.6 million) edged Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End ($308.7 million) for third place. In all, 15 films topped $100 million, with two more (the
disappointing Evan Almighty and the overachieving Superbad) expected to join the elite club. Waitress ($18.9 million, per Box Office Mojo) was the indie hit of the season, while Georgia Rule ($18.9 million) and The Nanny Diaries ($17.1 million) were two of the bigger studio bombs. A lawyer for Lindsay Lohan filed court documents Friday, alleging that the other driver in a 2005 car wreck is using lies about the actress being drunk at the time "as a battering ram to force a settlement." In his 10-page brief, attorney Alfred Gerisch sought to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Raymundo Ortega, or to strike parts of it. Ortega is seeking $200,000 in damages stemming from
the crash, which he claimed Lohan caused as she was fleeing the paparazzi.
Jude Law was arrested Tuesday for allegedly getting into a scuffle with a paparazzo outside his London home, per British press reports. The actor was taken into custody and released on bail later the same day. He was ordered to return to the police station in October, pending further investigation.
Nicole Kidman reveals in Vanity Fair's October issue that she was engaged to a mystery man in between splitting from Tom Cruise and marrying Keith Urban, but declines to provide his identity. The Oscar winner also discloses that she suffered a miscarriage around the time she and Cruise decided to adopt their 14-year-old daughter, Isabella. "There's a complicated background to that,
given that I never speak much about many things. One day maybe that story will be told," Kidman said.

Owen Wilson "has been doing very well" since he was hospitalized Aug. 26 after an apparent suicide attempt, director Wes Anderson said Monday at the Venice Film Festival.

actor reportedly returned home over the weekend, where he remains under close watch, according to published reports.
Bill Murray wasn't just driving a golf cart around downtown Stockholm at random last month...he was chauffeuring people home after a party, he explained Monday at the Venice Film Festival. The police "asked me to come over and they assumed that I was drunk and I explained to them that I was a golfer," the actor told reporters. Murray
refused a breath test, so Swedish police administered a blood test. If the results show that he was intoxicated at the time of the incident, he could face drunken-driving charges.
Spike Lee will head up the jury of a new online film festival sponsored by Babelgum, an Internet company that streams videos online for free, organizers said Saturday at the Venice Film Festival.

Website starting Sept. 15. "If you have a film and you're talented and someone is not seeing it, it's your fault," Lee said. |
