THINK LIKE A MAN TOO OPENS BIG 30 MILLION DOLLARS MAKING IT THE NUMBER 1 MOVIE

Sony Pictures’ “Think Like a Man Too” topped this weekend’s box office, taking in an estimated 30 million dollars.

The romantic comedy, loosely based on Steve Harvey’s relationship manual “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man,” played to just over 2,000 theaters across the country, but still managed to outperform buddy flick “22 Jump Street” which played to over 3,000 theaters.

The film’s predecessor, “Think Like a Man” had a similarly spectacular opening back in 2012, earning just over 33 million during its debut weekend.

Think Like a Man Too is expected to continue doing well throughout the week, though in a summer in which every weekend another movie takes over the top box office spot, it might not be able to hold the number one position over next weekend. Kudos to comedian Kevin Hart, as he is once again proving to be box office gold for Sony.

No doubt with numbers like these, Sony will look to release “Think Like a Man… Again perhaps time will tell.

THINK LIKE A MAN TOO STAR ...MEGAN GOOD COVERS ROLLING OUT MAGAZINE

“Think Like a Man Too” actress Meagan Good is covering the latest issue of RollingOut magazine.

Meagan, who is set to return to network television in early 2015 via her new NBC drama “Babylon Fields,” dishes on the red hot state of black romantic comedies, her marriage to motivational speaker DeVon Franklin and why she likes to think of herself as a liberal Christian.

Peep Meagan’s photo shoot below, as well as few excerpts aimed at dispelling the constant rumors that surround her via the gossip blogs.

Meagan on the double standard black actresses’ face for taking on sexy roles: “If Angelina Jolie goes topless, everyone goes ‘Wow, she’s so badass, so committed to her craft,’ ” Good says. “But if Halle Berry goes topless, everyone’s like ‘She’s a slut. She probably took a bunch of money to do that.’ People attack her with unsavory names. And it’s unfortunate. Halle is one my favorite actresses — I’ve looked up to her since I began this journey. There’s definitely a double standard but I can’t put my finger on exactly why that is. If someone is telling a story, they should go to whatever extent that they’re comfortable with to tell the story. Whatever they feel is necessary.”

Meagan on nudity in films: “I have no problem with nudity — it just has to not be exploitative and it has to be important to tell the story,” she explains. “It depends on the script, the character, the story, the tone of the movie — all of those things. I commend women of every nationality that are bold enough to tell a story in a way that’s fearless. I just haven’t found a project where I felt it was necessary to do that. The scenes I’ve come across seemed exploitative and I just didn’t do it.”

Meagan on her own sexy image: “I really don’t think there’s anything wrong with being sexy,” she says matter-of-factly. “God created our bodies as women. He created us to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be powerful, to be fearless — to be amazing. I do respect and understand the fact that when you come into the sanctuary, you need to be dressed appropriately because you are not the star — Jesus is the star. That I agree with 100 percent.”

Meagan on her new found Christianity: “My faith is everything to me, but I’m also extremely liberal and I believe in telling real people stories,” Good adds. “If you’re always trying to be this perfect character in everything, how can you be inspiring and do anything interesting? I like playing complicated characters who sometimes make bad choices. I like playing characters that do something questionable and ultimately the repercussions of their choices are kind of the lesson of the story. It’s just that, once in a while, there’s an extreme amount of nudity or the way that they’re talking about God and or the way that they’re dealing with something specific, [and] I’m like ‘Yeah, I don’t want to do that.’ But every time I say ‘no,’ it leads to something better for me.”

Meagan on what being married has taught her: “Marriage has taught me that it’s OK to let somebody take care of me. That it’s OK to depend on somebody,” Good says. “I grew up being responsible for a lot of things — since I was 15 [I was] taking care of a lot of people. My father is amazing, but he wasn’t in the home, so my mother raised us with the mentality of not needing anybody. We were never the girls that went after the guy that had the money because we were taught to have our own money. I’ve always been extremely independent to the point where it probably intimidated some guys. Now, it’s nice to just feel like it’s not a bad thing to trust someone to have your best interest at heart.”

KANYE WEST TALKS WEDDING PHOTO, & BEAUTIFYING THE INTERNET

Were convinced Kanye is crazy or is he just weird these days?  After celebrating Father’s Day and his daughter North’s first birthday in New York, Kanye West and his family flew to Cannes for a surprise appearance at the Translation seminar at the Cannes Lions festival on Tuesday.

The mogul impresario revealed that famed photographer Annie Leibovitz pulled out of his wedding at the last minute (“Maybe she was scared about the idea of celebrity”).

The wedding photo that Kim Kardashian posted on Instagram took “like four days” to edit because the colors on the flower wall didn’t look right. But he says it was worth it because it became the most liked image on Instagram.

So what’s next for the creative genius? Yeezus wants to bring his design aesthetic to the Internet, starting with a redesign of Instagram.

Read more Kanye quotables below.

On his inspiration: “The only thing I think can be an inspiration to me is the fact that I get bashed so much but create so much. Just know that if you really want to be a boxer, you’re gonna get your face beat up constantly, but then you may end up being Mayweather or Ali.”

On the power of endorsement: “I couldn’t have rapped if Jay Z hadn’t endorsed me. Eminem wouldn’t have been as successful if Dr. Dre hadn’t endorsed him.”

On the importance of good design: “I believe that bad taste is vulgar. It’s like cursing. I think the world can be saved through design. Because what is the most distasteful thing someone can do? Kill someone. So, good taste is the opposite of that.”

On beautifying the Internet: “The world as a whole is fucking ugly. The Internet as a whole is fucking ugly, too. But I’m not in the construction business. I said to [Instagram founder] Kevin [Systrom], why don’t you let us redo Instagram? Now, you know, Instagram is nice. It’s nice looking. I’m not knocking it. But just in general, everyone spends all of their time looking at their screens or their phones. And just as a simple task, we could clean that up.”

Heading off: Kim Kardashian and friend Jonathan Cheban prepare to head off to Cannes where she will be joining her husband and mother.

JENNIFER HUDSON SHOWS OFF HER BIKINI BOD ON THE BEACHES OF MEXICO

 She famously lost eighty pounds and has maintained her figure. And Jennifer Hudson showed off her svelte shape in a bright yellow bikini in a new snap she Instagrammed on Tuesday. 

The 32-year-old actress and singer strikes three different poses in the collage she captioned: 'It would take mexico to get me to play on the beach! I'm so not that girl! But I work hard, I deserve it right! Plus, I earned it!'
