Rewind: This Week's Buzz

- The brand-new trailer for the Johnny Depp-Tim Burton-Helena Bonham Carter movie Sweeney Todd is fantastic.
Music Video: Regina Spektor, "Better"
Regina Spektor already made one music video for "Better," but apparently, the nature of the song has inspired her to try again. If you're not familiar with the stellar music of this Russian-Jewish songstress, this video is a good introduction, since it features an army of Regina lookalikes with wild hair and icy-blue stares.
It's also a great taste of the quirky, piano-heavy folk pop that Spektor so artfully established on last year's Begin to Hope.

Last week I shared with you my interview with Precious actress Paula Patton, but now it's time to hear from the director himself, Lee Daniels. I asked the Sundance-award winner — the film took home the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize — how it feels to hear Oscar buzz, and what it's like when Oprah is on your speed dial. Plus, he opened up to me about how the movie helped him overcome from his own dark past.
