Actor Dennis Farina Arrested
Actor Dennis Farina is apologizing for his arrest at Los Angeles International Airport. A loaded gun was found in his carry on luggage. The one-time “Law and Order” star, who’s in the new Ashton Kutcher-Cameron Diaz comedy “What Happens in Vegas,” says in a statement, his own “stupidity” put him in “this embarrassing situation.” He says he forgot the .22 caliber handgun was in his luggage. Farina is free on bail, facing a felony charge because the weapon wasn’t registered. He’s a former Chicago police officer.
LAX police run into this problem–of passengers forgetting they have guns in their carry-on luggage–regularly, Holcomb said. Most of the roughly 10 incidents a month involve police officers traveling as civilians.
“People don’t get it,” Holcomb said. “When you go to an airport, the only people that can carry a gun are federal agents.”
That’s not to say high-profile travelers haven’t tried to board with weapons.
Iron Man Soars Above Competition at North American Box Office
Iron Man battered the competition for the second consecutive weekend as an estimated $50.5m haul through Paramount Pictures raised the running total to $177.1m.The result consolidated the Marvel Studios adaptation as the season’s first bona fide blockbuster and relegated new openers Speed Racer from Warner Bros and What Happens In Vegas from Fox to second and third, respectively.
Box office was up 21% against the same weekend last year as the top 12 films combined for $128m. Year-on-year 2008 still trails 2007 by some 2.5% at this stage in the game.
Speed Racer disappointed on $20.2m. The family film was adapted from the 1960s Japanese anime television series by Andy and Larry Wachowski in their first outing as directors since The Matrix Revolutions opened in 2003.
