SEX NO LONGER SELLING AT THE MOVIES

Sex no longer sells, at least at the movies, according to a study of 1,120 movies released over the past four years.

The Christian Film and Television Commission, a movie viewers' campaign group, finds films without sex scenes, such as Disney's "Finding Nemo" earned an average of $41 million, or 40 percent more than movies with sex, reports Australia Age.com.

In 2003, sex could almost predict the take at the box office. Seventy-eight films with no sex averaged $38 million, 95 films with implied sex averaged $32 million, 71 films with briefly depicted sex averaged $25 million and 35 films with extensive, excessive or graphic sex averaged $17 million.

The findings, published in the group's monthly magazine Movieguide, suggests movies with a "negative content," such as "Hannibal" experience far lower box office returns than G-rated fare.

REALITY SERIES: LIVING IN PENAL COLONY

A new reality series is looking for a British family with children ages 5 to 18 to live as immigrants in Australia 200 years ago -- and with 10 "convicts."

The producers of "The Colony," say the family will sail from London to Australia by tall ship, land along the coastline far from civilization and live in the 19th century for four months, reports Sky News.

"We are looking for people who are open-minded, resourceful and have an inner resilience, coupled with a sense of adventure," says producer Deborah Szapiro.

"They must be willing to leave behind their comfortable 21st century lives and put themselves in the shoes of their ancestors. This is living history."

'BARBIE IS A LESBIAN'

New York City has agreed to pay $35,000 to a 15-year-old girl kicked out of her class for wearing a T-shirt that said, "Barbie is a lesbian."

In April 2002, the teen was pulled out class, suspended for one day and told not to wear the shirt again, the New York Post reports.

The teen says she sued because she was harassed at her school for being openly lesbian.

Her lawyer, Ron Kuby, says the city settled the lawsuit for $35,000 and the city Education Department agreed to set up a new policy that outlines students' free speech rights.

SOME BRITONS THINK HITLER NEVER LIVED

A survey finds that 10 percent of citizens in Britain think Adolf Hitler was not a real person.

Many believe, however, "Conan the Barbarian," "Xena Warrior Princess" and "Robin Hood" are real.

The survey of 2,000 adults commissioned by Blenheim Palace, finds 20 percent of Britons could not name the nation's prime minister during World War II -- Winston Churchill, the Daily Telegraph reports.

Almost 50 percent of the adults surveyed believe William Wallace was not a real person. He was the Scottish rebel who lead an uprising against the English, and was played by Mel Gibson in the movie "Braveheart."
