In brief

Nature expert to compete on 'Jungle' finale tonight

The two-hour finale of Animal Planet's King of the Jungle airs at 8 tonight with Kelly Diedring of Tampa's Busch Gardens in the running for the title.

Diedring, 23, is an animal care specialist, and she will compete against two men, Zoo Atlanta's assistant curator of elephants and carnivores and a Phoenix Zoo elephant handler. The winner gets to host a wildlife show.

King of the Jungle began with 12 nature experts confronting challenges; there was a 300-pound tiger, vipers, pythons and more.

Tonight, the finalists must deliver a TV-ready presentation about three exotic animals with no preparation, master various physical obstacles and rescue an alligator.

The winner will host a special Dec. 22.

Love among older adults conquered the box office as Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton's romance Something's Gotta Give debuted in the top spot with $17-million.

Distributor Sony hopes the well-reviewed Something's Gotta Give will linger in theaters through the holidays. Keaton stars as a 55-year-old playwright in a love triangle involving a 63-year-old womanizer (Nicholson) and a 30-something doctor (Keanu Reeves).

Though aimed at older adults, Something's Gotta Give scored well among younger crowds, with viewers under 30 accounting for a third of the audience, said Jeff Blake, Sony Pictures head of distribution.

The previous weekend's top film, The Last Samurai, slipped to second place with $14.05-million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The Farrelly brothers' comedy Stuck on You, starring Matt Damon and Greg Kinnear as conjoined twins, opened at No. 3 with $10-million. The teen romance Love Don't Cost a Thing, featuring Nick Cannon, debuted in fourth place with $6.5-million. The Haunted Mansion rounded out the top five with $6.3-million.

In limited release, a reissue of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers took in $700,000 this past weekend, pushing the film's total gross to $340-million and priming the pump for The Return of the King.
