London, Nov 23 (IANS) American actress-singer Jennifer Lopez is nursing a bruise on her back after slipping on stage during her performance at the American Music Awards.

After strutting on the stage, converted into a boxing ring, in a robe and gloves to sing ‘Louboutins’ from her new album, Lopez gyrated with male dancers Sunday. But it all went wrong for the star after she climbed onto a human pyramid of half-naked performers and jumped down, slipping backwards onto her backside, reported contactmusic.com.

Lopez swiftly leaped to her feet and carried on with her performance.

I saw the video of her performance on the AMA awards but I hardly notice the fall. I would think it was part of the choreography if I hadn’t known there was a fall. Watch video at You Tube.

LOS ANGELES – The vampire romance “The Twilight Sage: New Moon” sucked up $140.7 million in its first three days and pulled in a total of $258.8 million worldwide, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The No. 1 domestic debut for Summit Entertainment’s “New Moon” was more than twice the $69.6 million haul over the same weekend last year for “Twilight,” the first in the franchise based on Stephenie Meyer’s novels.

“Obviously, with the success of ‘Twilight’ itself, sequels being what they are will generate X-number of dollars more, particularly if it’s a satisfying sequel,” said Richie Fay, head of distribution for Summit.

“New Moon” placed third on the all-time domestic chart behind last year’s $158.4 million opening weekend for the Batman blockbuster “The Dark Knight” and 2007’s $151.1 million haul for “Spider-Man 3.”

Among the top-10 all-time openings, “New Moon” is the only one that came outside of Hollywood’s busiest time, the summer season. The movie adaptation of Meyer’s next “Twilight” chapter, “Eclipse,” arrives in the heart of summer, next June 30.
