Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• Pirates of the Caribbean 3 was still number one at the box office this past weekend. The film was still the top money maker despite only pulling in $43 million, a significant drop from previous weeks. Experts account for the box office drop off by noting that America’s attention was focused on more important, worldly issues such as the climbing death toll of Americans in Iraq… whoa! this just in, Lindsay Lohan is going back to rehab!

• The TV monitoring body, Nielson Co., has begun tracking commercial viewing. The move comes at a time when advertisers are increasingly skeptical of television advertising’s success with the debut of Digital Video Recorders. The first ratings will be released next week and it’s expected the commercial featuring that guy getting kicked in the nuts by the really hot chick showing a lot of cleavage will be number one.

• Dwayne Johnson, formerly known as the wrestler The Rock, is separating from his wife of 10 years, Dany Garcia Johnson.  According to friends of the couple, the main reason behind the split is that Garcia Johnson was tired of competing with his “wrestling partners” for The Rock’s affections.
