I've been so busy blogging about the bright spots of the 2007 Oscars that I haven't had time to talk about the new Bright Eyes video that premiered last week on Spinner. Called "Four Winds," it's the second track I've heard off the forthcoming EP of the same name, and I like it even more than "Tourist Trap."

"Four Winds" will also appear on Bright Eyes' new album, Cassadaga, which comes out April 10. It's a folk-rock ditty with twangy violins and an infectious melody, and the matte black-and-white video has a cool old-timey feel. To watch the video for "Four Winds," read more

It's time once again to feed my Tyra Banks obsession. The eighth cycle of "America's Next Top Model" starts with a bang on the CW tonight with a two-hour season premiere. Between this and "The Agency," you'd think I'd be in cattiness overload, but apparently there's no such thing. I can't wait to see what mayhem ensues this season, and I really can't get enough of the tacky jungle theme they're using to advertise the show. Will you be watching?

Coming out this Friday, March 2, Zodiac is a psychological thriller about a real-life San Francisco serial killer who called himself the Zodiac. In the still-unsolved case, the Zodiac killer taunted police and journalists in the '60s and '70s by sending letters and cryptograms to the offices of the San Francisco Chronicle. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Robert Downey Jr., the film follows the investigators and reporters who became obsessed with this killer-turned-media phenomena.

The film is already being lauded for its detailed adherence to the true story, with the filmmakers largely avoiding dramatization. The result looks like a movie with some tedious parts but with even more that are eerily realistic. Zodiac is directed by David Fincher, who already has hair-raising successes Seven and Fight Club under his belt.

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I'll ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. This week, I've decided to tackle a sitcom that many of us grew up watching obsessively: "The Cosby Show."

This series, which debuted in 1984, introduced a multitude of characters over its 8-year run: Cockroach, baby Olivia, cousin Pam, and on and on. But let's just recast the original core members of the Huxtable family, from Bill Cosby's classic grumpy Cliff all the way down to spunky (and slightly annoying) Rudy.

Leave your entry us in the comment section below, and I'll pick one winner to feature next Tuesday, March 7, complete with a "new" cast photo.

Characters to recast:
Dr. Cliff Huxtable (Bill Cosby)
Clair Huxtable (Phylicia Rashad)
Sondra (Sabrina Le Beauf)
Denise (Lisa Bonet)
Theo (Malcolm-Jamal Warner)
Vanessa (Tempestt Bledsoe)
Rudy (Keshia Knight Pulliam)

The Dillon Panthers will be wrapping up their march toward the state football championship sooner than we thought. NBC has announced that its new improv comedy series, "Thank God You're Here," will take over the "Friday Night Lights" time slot starting April 18. That means the season finale of "Friday Night Lights" is set for April 11, well before most shows wrap up their seasons. All 22 scheduled episodes will still air, just on a faster timetable than normal.

I'm really not sure what this means for the chances of "Friday Night Lights" getting a second season. Off the top of my head, I can't think of any other shows that have bowed out before the crucial May Sweeps period and still gotten renewed. But NBC also just announced that it will be streaming all "FNL" episodes online this spring; maybe they hope that will give potential viewers another chance to get hooked before the fall?

Either way, if you're a fan and you haven't sent your care package to NBC yet, this is probably a good time to do it.

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I'll sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. While the following movies didn't win any Oscars, they do star some Oscar-winning actors and are each worth a rent.

Stranger Than Fiction
IRS auditor Henry Crick (Will Ferrell) is perfectly content living his mundane life, until he starts hearing narration in his head and realizes he is the doomed main character in a novel. As the author (Emma Thompson) grapples with how to kill off Crick, he struggles to change the ending of her story. Supporting cast members include Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, and Queen Latifah. For more details, check out my full review of the movie.
