Kean Wong: And in catching up with Hollywood news, Actress Jessica Simpson's little sis ties the knot in L.A. over the weekend. Also in today's edition is a look at how much money the movie Iron Man has brought in. Here's more. Singer Ashlee Simpson on Saturday married her fiancée, rocker Pete Wentz. People magazine reported that the wedding took place at Simpson's father's home in Los Angeles. Ashlee is the younger sister of singer and actress Jessica Simpson, who was the maid of honor. Indiana Jones returns 19 years after his last adventure, and early reaction suggests the majority of critics who were at the Cannes Film Festival for the film's premiere are happy the whip-wielding archaeologist is back. Ford reprises his most famous role in "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," a high-octane fantasy set in the 1950s when Jones no longer faces Nazis but a KGB agent after the ultimate Cold War weapon – mind control. Director Steven Spielberg's high-wattage adventure "Indiana Jones" open on Thursday in time for the four-day U.S. Memorial Day holiday weekend. Meanwhile, for the second consecutive weekend, a major Hollywood film fell short of expectations at the box office, providing a wobbly start for the lucrative summer movie season. Walt Disney's "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," the second film in a series based on the books by C.S. Lewis, opened at No. 1 with estimated three-day sales of 57 million dollars (USD). That was below the 80 million dollar number industry analyst had been hoping for. The opening was nowhere near as disastrous as that for "Speed Racer" last weekend. The 160 million dollar kids flick crashed to a dismal 18.6 million during its first three days. The good news is the surprise smash hit "Iron Man," starring Robert Downey Jr., which has earned 222 million dollars so far. A big weekend also for Neil Diamond. The singer claims his highest ever debut and first ever Number One studio album on the UK Albums Chart with "Home Before Dark." His achievement comes 42 years after the release of his debut album "The Feel Of Neil Diamond."
