fast and furious 6

Actor Paul Walker died today (Nov. 30) at the tender age of 40. The handsome actor, best known for his role as Brian in the 'Fast & Furious' film franchise, passed away in a fiery, single car crash in Los Angeles. His death has inspired an outpouring of love and comments from fellow celebs on Twitter.

What looked like one of the big box office showdowns of the summer turned out to not be battle at all. Not only did 'Fast and Furious 6' take the number one spot at the box office, it did it while shattering records, leaving 'The Hangover Part 3' coughing on its exhaust.

Wow. This is a monster weekend at the box office. While Memorial Day weekend is usually a good one for theaters, it's rare to see three heavyweights like these all hitting cinemas at the same time.
