If you thought hell would freeze over before you got a chance to see Jenna Jameson naked on the 'big' screen, well, don't get that parka out yet. Super porn star Jenna Jameson makes it to a cineplex near you costarring opposite Robert Englund (read our interview) in "Zombie Strippers" this weekend. There is literally something for EVERYONE this weekend in movie theaters. Also new in theaters this weekend: for the old folk, Al Pacino in "88 Minutes;" for the liberals, Morgan Spurlock's documenatary "Where In The World Is Osama Bin Laden?"; for the tweens who love those vile slasher, horror, grotesque films, Milo Ventimiglia in the long delayed "Pathology"; for gays and girls who love seeing penis on the big screen, Jason Segel going full-frontal in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall"; for the martial arts afficionados, Jet Li AND Jackie Chan (together for the first time) in "The Forbidden Kingdom"; again, for the gays, Tori Spelling in the homosexual comedy "Kiss The Bride." And for the right wings, your favorite teacher ("Bueller. Bueller") and money expert, Ben Stein, in "Expelled," a surprise hit at the movie box office. As for the weekend movie box office? "The Forbidden Kingdom" and "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" took the #1 and #2 spots at the movie box office, respectively, with $21 million and $17 million.
