According to weekend estimates, The Hottie and the Nottie grossed an astounding $25,000 on 111 screens, giving it a per-screen average of $225 and placing it 46th at the box office, just behind Taxi to the Dark Side and Teeth.  In a recent interview, Hadeel Reda, one of the producers on the project said:

We found my top choice for the role which was Paris Hilton. Who else could play the hottie but Paris Hilton?

Who indeed.  I’ve been to LA, and they’ve got a real shortage of dumb blonde whores who can’t act.  I mean, it’s not like you could just go to any Starbuck’s and find someone hotter and less of an idiot behind the counter.  You might come close, but they just wouldn’t have that special something.  And by special something I mean herpes.  And a lazy eye.

Okay, okay, I shouldn’t savor this too much, but it feels good after having to report a number one weekend for Meet the Spartans.  I think it was Jesus who said, "Hot damn, is there anything sweeter than watching stupid people fail?"
