With the boom in DVD sales, consumers may be purchasing more movies than ever before, but, as with VHS sales in years past, kids-oriented product remains the hottest seller, as evidenced by the fact that Warner Home Video's Kangaroo Jack debuted as the top earner in sales last week, according to VideoScan First Alert. The family film wound up in third place for rentals, behind Columbia TriStar's Punch-Drunk Love and MGM's Dark Blue.

Punch Drunk Love director Paul Thomas Anderson got into a tussle at a celebrity-studded charity event in New York last week - and was nearly thrown out by security as a result. Anderson was at the Night Of Too Many Stars event at the Roseland Ballroom which featured stage performances by comics like Adam Sandler, Jack Black and Dana Carvey of Wayne's World fame. The maverick director began arguing with a sound technician who was recording the event, raising money for the Autism Coalition. A guest who witnessed the disagreement says, "He was saying it wasn't loud enough and that nobody could hear anything." The argument got so heated that several security guards intervened and began to escort Anderson to the door. The guards reluctantly allowed the fuming director to stay after Sandler's fiancee, Jackie Titone ran over to diffuse the situation.
