WEEKEND WRAP UP: KNIGHT AND DAY SHOULD HAVE STAYED AWAY, BET AWARDS AIRED SUNDAY, REFEREE WARM UP, UNITED STATES IS OUT THE WORLD CUP


Toy Story 3 did it again at the box office making $59,000,000 over the weekend. Tom Cruise had a disappointing weekend only making $20,000,000 at the box office. It was the worst result for a Cruise action flick in 20 years. People say it still is the couch incident but to me if you have a good story, that will bring in the audience no matter who is starring in the film. Point, The Hangover. But here are the rest of the totals.

Are these referees or a new boy band warming up? enquiring minds want to know.


(CNN) -- The United States crashed out of the World Cup on Saturday night as Ghana became just the third African team to ever reach the quarterfinals with a 2-1 extra-time victory.

Asamoah Gyan scored the winning goal in the third minute of the opening period of non-regulation play as Ghana's "Black Stars" eliminated the U.S. for the second time in a row at soccer's showpiece tournament.
Ghana will now play Uruguay in the last eight in Johannesburg on Friday, after the South Americans defeated South Korea 2-1 earlier on Saturday.
Kevin-Prince Boateng put Ghana ahead in just the fifth minute of the second-round tie in Rustenburg as the U.S. paid for losing possession, but Landon Donovan leveled the scores with a second-half penalty.
