BOLT HAS BITE TO FEND OFF SHOPAHOLIC IN UK

Disney film Bolt has remained at the top of the UK box office charts despite the release of romantic comedy Confessions of a Shopaholic.

The animation took £3 million in its second weekend on release to retain the number one spot, with Confessions… earning £2.8 million.

Former Home and Away star Isla Fisher - engaged to Borat actor Sacha Baron Cohen - stars in the latter as shopping-obsessed journalist Rebecca Bloomwood who lands a job on a financial magazine despite her personal mountain of debt.

Multiple Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire dropped one place to third while The Curious Case of Benjamin Button -which was nominated for 13 Academy awards but won just three - fell to fifth.

The only other new entry in this week's UK chart was sci-fi thriller Push, starring Chris Evans and Dakota Fanning as young Americans with special powers pursued by a shady government organisation.
