Welcome back to my Buzz Gift Guide series for all the entertainment lovers in your life. We're talking kids and teens this week, and since we've covered the boys already, today it's all about the teen girls. Teenage girls (I know because I was one) can be hard to shop for since the age lends itself to phases. So, as Heidi would say, one day a gift is in, and the next — it's out. Today I've got Read more

All of the new DVD releases hit stores (and Netflix) on Tuesdays. So each week in What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday, I sort through the best of the batch and tell you what to add to your queue. In addition to my picks below, you can also add Priceless starring Audrey Tautou and Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson to your queue. Wall-E Squee! Pixar's Wall-E is out on DVD!

I wonder what gives me the impression America Ferrara thinks that Blake Lively, her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costar, is a dumbass. They were on a morning show promoting the film with the dumbest name ever (I still can't say it without laughing) when Blake starts babbling about Gossip Girl. Hmmm, let's see.

Interestingly, neither a BFF movie nor a stoner action-comedy could dethrone The Dark Knight in its fourth weekend. Having already surpassed the $400 million mark in domestic ticket sales, the superhero movie pulled in another $26 million over the weekend.

At one point in the second installment of the stories surrounding girls who have pants and will travel, an exasperated Carmen (America Ferrera) says something like, "Can we just please focus on the pants?!" And yet, that's the thing I find most refreshing about this sequel: there's not really a focus on the pants. The fact that Carmen has to remind her friends to think about the pants is a good Read more

Tuesdays are big in entertainment-ville: Not only do all the new DVD releases hit Netflix, but new music also pours into stores, including iTunes. So I take a spin through each week's iTunes music releases and pick out some albums and tracks worthy of a download. Here are today's selections: When geeks are right: I chose that intro phrase because that's what one of the coolest songs from The Read more

Who's ready for more of those magical pants? The trailer for the second installment of the movie franchise based on Ann Brashares's best-selling novel is now online. It's interesting to see the four stars of the film back together now that they are each so accomplished on their own. Blake Lively (Gossip Girl), Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls), America Ferrera (Ugly Betty), and Amber Tamblyn (Joan of Read more

If the recent Golden Globe and SAG Award nominations are any indication — not to mention our best new TV show poll — people love Ugly Betty and its endearing star, America Ferrera. It makes sense, of course, since Ferrera is so good as the smart, funny, normal-seeming Betty trying to make it in the catty world of fashion journalism. If once a week is not enough America for you, put these Read more
