Rufus Wainwright

You've gotten your movie fix with the week's DVD releases, ready to a amp up your music, too? Here are the three biggies shelves today, and good news — they're all great and uniquely individual.

Heartbreak warfare: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned — but it can make for an amazing album. Kate Nash sings about cheating and breakups on her latest album My Best Friend Is You. Not that the tracks don't have lighter moments, like on the clap-happy "Paris" or "Do-Wah-Doo" which masks jealousy in a retro, 60s girl group package. In the more upfront "Mansion Song," the singer drops the act with a beat-poetry style rant (with the obligatory f-word used repeatedly for effect). Someone obviously hurt Nash's feelings, but luckily, we reap the benefits.

The future's bright: Rev up the DeLorean. Apples in Stereo brings us into the future of electro-pop with Travellers in Space and Time, an energetic album full of tracks that are easily to bop and toe-tap along to. The nerdy and math-obsessed lead singer Robert Schneider sounds as uniquely high-pitched as ever, as the boys play around with noise (did I even hear cowbell?) like they got their hands on a Casio's keystrokes. The result is completely fun, so be sure to check out "Dance Floor" — that's the one with the video with Elijah Wood — and "Hey Elevator."

Penn Badgley was back to playing love-struck Dan Humphrey last night on Gossip Girl, where he was surrounded by the usual fashion, tech, and bikini-wearing ladies. In real life, Penn, Scarlett Johansson, Drew Barrymore, and Lucy Liu were enjoying an intimate Rufus Wainwright concert at the Gramercy Park Hotel in NYC. Scarlett arrived solo and looking rather unassuming in her casual jacket and glasses, but found Drew and Lucy in the crowd. It was Scarlett's night off from performing on Broadway with Liev Schreiber, while husband Ryan Reynolds just picked up a new role starring opposite Jason Bateman. Scarlett has a busy Spring schedule ahead as the promotional tour for Iron Man 2 starts to rev up next month before the movie opens on May 7.
