Here are today’s top entertainment headlines:

• A theater in New York is offering free tickets to the new off-Broadway show “My First Time” to virgins.  In order to prove whether or not the people are really virgins, the producers have hired Sebastian Black, a mind reader and hypnotist who bills himself as “The Human Lie Detector.”  In related news, the staff at QSE News will be out next week, seeing a new show in New York.

• The fifth movie in the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, earned the biggest Wednesday opening ever after it took in nearly $45 million.  The movie, which continues to follow the young wizard and his classmates, beat the previous record holder, Spider-Man 2, by over 4 million.  While it has been successful in the first few days, insiders are counting on a sharp drop in profits this weekend as NBC rolls out new episodes of “To Catch a Predator.”

• Sam Rockwell and Anjelica Huston have been cast in the movie Choke, based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk.  The movie centers around a sex addict who pretends to choke then sponges off of the people who save him.  While the movie hasn’t even started filming yet, the marketing department is already hard at work trying to convince people that the movie is not a film biography of legendary porn star Ron Jeremy.
