HOROSCOPES
Because the stars know things we don't
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 9.
You could be tested today. Think actions over before leaping into them. A distant development smiles upon your enterprise, and money comes in. Invest in a powerful tool.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8
Accept invitations to visit. Doors open in unexpected places, revealing hidden resources. For the next two days, a quest for practical solutions beckons.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Business travel could be ahead.
Handle the financial plan, and work out details. Verify intuition with facts. Indulge your literary side. Your home life benefits.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is on 8
Today is an 8
Share a dream with someone. Embellish and add details in writing, crafting a fine plan. Determine accountabilities and expenses. Travel later. Surprises unfold.
Leo (July 23-Aug.22) Today is an 8
You hit the ground running. Hopefully your batteries are recharged, as you have two days of full action ahead. But there's still time for love. It's important to show you care.
Today is a 6
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Love offers comfort when money is tight, both in the giving and the receiving. Don't resist change. Instead, let it flow naturally. It's okay to grieve when saying goodbye.
Today is a 7
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Confusion's running rampart around your home, causing havoc. Make household changes, and you could discover treasure and hidden resources (at least coins in the sofa).
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7
Family keeps you on track today and tomorrow. Reassure someone close to you. Discover a bonus or windfall. Practice something you're passionate about.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Today is a 9
You have access to new information to better your finances now. Apply it. Make room for other people's generosity. Teach others what you've learned.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Today is a 9
Not everything you try today will work, but nonetheless, it's your day in the sun. Go out, play and share the bright light with others. Bring a hat or sunscreen.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Today is an 6
Contemplate your next move. Taking time to formulate a strategy saves energy later. Avoid risk and expense for the time being. Adapt to change and fresh ideas.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Today is a 6
Your creativity flourishes now, even if there's tension (and a bit too much impulsiveness). Destruction is part of the creative process. Tear it down to build it up.

ROCK AND LOVE
Invitations to the Oct. 1 wedding, sent out under the kids' names, contain art by Nick, 22, and a nontraditional message from Sophie, 18: "After 28 years of loose strings, our parents have finally decided to tie the knot."
Gene Simmons gets his wedding KISS
LOS ANGELES — Gene Simmons and Shannon Tweed have a date to get married — finally. The KISS singer and the former Playmate have been together for 28 years and have two children.
The invite isn't all rock-star bravado, however. Teasing to the formation of "Team Tweed-Simmons," it continues: "We will be united as a family in title and spirit forever."
"Our mother will share our horrendous hyphenate of a last name and our father's life ... well, it doesn't change that much."
— Los Angeles Times
Simmons' proposal in Belize was naturally captured by reality-tv cameras for A&E's show "Gene Simmons: Family Jewels," which rolls its seventh season starting Oct. 4.
Simmons is 62 and still touring with Paul Stanley and the current incarnation of KISS. Tweed is 54.

LOS ANGELES — "The Help" didn't have to work hard to maintain its box office dominance over Labor Day, effortlessly claiming the No. 1 spot for the third weekend in a row.
LOS ANGELES TIMES
The adaptation of Kathyn Stockett's novel of pre-civil rights Mississippi has been cleaning up at the multiplex ever since its premiere almost four weeks ago, when it opened behind "Rise of the Planet of the Apes." "In an unlikely feat, solid word-of-mouth has since propelled the film to the top spot at the box office every weekend since.
'The Help' rules box offices
The film sold $19 million worth of tickets domestically over the four-day weekend, according to an estimate from distributor Walt Disney Studios. The picture, which stars an ensemble cast featuring Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer and Emma Stone, has now accumulated $123.4 million after 27 days in release.
Labor Day weekend is traditionally one of the slowest of the year for the movie business, and 2011 was no exception. Ticket sales were up a slight 5 percent compared with the same period last year, but three new films still failed to muster impressive results.
"The Debt," a Holocaust action drama, had a better-than-expected opening, grossing $12.6 million during the long weekend. The horror film "Apollo 18" took in $10.7 million — falling short of industry projections that it would win the weekend with about $15 million. Meanwhile, the thriller "Shark Night 3D," which had the benefit of 3-D ticket surcharges, scared up a modest $10.3 million.
"The Debt," which received the best reviews by tar of any film opening over the weekend, was also the premiere most-liked by audiences. Those who saw the film starring Helen Mirren and Jessica Chastain — 70 percent of whom were at least 40 years old — gave it an average grade of B, according to market research firm CinemaScore.
Jack Foley, president of domestic distribution for Focus Features — which released "The Debt" — said the studio's adult-centric films have often performed well over Labor Day. (Last year, Focus released the George Clooney action film "The American" during the holiday weekend, and it took the No. 1 spot with $16.7 million.)
