THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE:

... with UPBEAT! Syndicated out of Cleveland, Upbeat never achieved the status of American Bandstand, but attracted any number of major acts from 1964-71, including Otis Redding on the day before he died in that plane crash. Today's selections include Stevie Wonder with "For Once In My Life," Joe South with "Games People Play," Joe Tex with "Skinny Legs and All," Archie Bell and the Drells with "Tighten Up" (which just might be my favorite) Jerry Butler with "Only the Strong Survive," and the O'Kaysions with "I'm a Girl Watcher."

Andrew Wood, the former commander of a special US security team in Libya, told Congress at a hearing on the Sept. 11 Benghazi consulate attack that al Qaeda's presence in Libya "grows every day" and that the terror group is "more established than we are" there.

THE BEACH BOYS: Mike Love gives his side of the latest breakup, which sounds fishy to anyone who followed the news during the last tour.

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE: Taken 2 tops the chart with an impressive 50 million opening -- the third (possibly second) biggest October opening ever. But pent-up demand and possibly disappointing word-of-mouth may result in a less leggy performance than the original's 145 million (but willeasily profit on a 45 million budget).  Hotel Transylvania places with 26.3 million on a solid 38 percent drop under direct competition with Frankenweenie.  Pitch Perfect shows with 14.7 million and will easily profit.  Looper takes the fourth slot with 12.2 million; its 40 percent drop is good in light of cometition with Taken 2, and will easily profit.  Frankenweenie rounds out the Top 5 with 11.5 million, which is probably disappointing to Disney, despite the fact that it's about a child's beloved pet dying.

FRANKENWEENIE: Picking up where I left off, the fact that this is a Tim Burton film based on a short film by Tim Burton ought to tell you what to expect here.  Incidentally, the short was rejected for theatrical release by Disney in the 80s due to its macabre subject; the gamble here was that times have changed, and maybe they haven't.  Ironically, the sensitivity of the underlying subject may make this one of Burton's most personal and emotionally present films in years.  At the same time, the animated format allows him more license for homage to the horror classics (a Hammer Dracula flick has a TV cameo) and to take the original concept to epic proportions I won't spoil for all of those hesitant or waiting for home video. A film which haunts on more than one level.

KRISTEN STEWART & ROBERT PATTINSON are being pushed together by K-Stew's mom, according to RadarOnline.

CHRISTINA HENDRICKS: Mad Men's ginger bombshell does not like being called "full figured." Pro tip.

COLUMBUS DAY:  I get it as a holiday, so I thought a few words might be in order. Over the course of my life, I have seen the image of Columbus swing from unvarnished hero to genocidal criminal. Columbus was certainly no sweetheart, but at the end of the 15th Century, it is fair to say that Europeans often did not treat each other all that well. Moreover, before the furriners showed up, Native North and South Americans engaged in tribal massacre, infanticide, scalping, human sacrifice, and the ritual skinning of slaves for their priests to wear. It was a far less civilized time all 'round. But the West is civilized today in part because of Columbus. Some four centuries-plus later, we all are still struggling to become more civilized, but focusing criticism o­n the more-civilized while giving the less civilized a pass is not particularly useful to that struggle.

SYRIA: Government forces killed at least 36 people in operations in Damascus suburbs. The government said it had "cleansed" the area of terrorists; rebels called it a massacre.

IRAN withdrew 275 members of its elite Qods Force from Syria. The force had been supporting the Assad regime.
