LOS ANGELES - Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are the proud parents of the weekend's No. 1 box-office flick as their comedy Baby Mama debuted with $17.4 million.
But with Iron Man opening yesterday, and today's opening of the McDreamy vehicle Made of Honor starring Patrick Dempsey, will the small-screen stars enjoy a second week at the top of the weekend box office?
The top 20 movies at U.S. and Canadian theaters Friday through Sunday, followed by distribution studio, gross, number of theater locations, average receipts per location, number of weeks in release and total gross, as compiled Monday by Media By Numbers LLC are:
1. "Baby Mama," Universal, $17,407,110, 2,543 locations, $6,845 average, $17,407,110, one week.

Censorship? What censorship? It isn't censorship to call someone an idiot because their position is stupid, it's censorship to keep them from publishing or speaking their stupid position. And no one is doing that.
