 <title>What on Earth Will a Video Game Based on Clueless Be Like?</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/1804490</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/1804490&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=74  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/13839/30_2008/pink-video-games.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Things that make me go &quot;hmm...&quot;: I spotted on GeekSugar yesterday this news that several &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.geeksugar.com/1804414&quot; &gt;new movies have been picked up as future video games&lt;/a&gt; - and they&#039;re not your usual action-heavy flicks with guns and bombs or. . . action of any kind (unless you count Cher&#039;s steamy online chat, after which &quot;he just logged off&quot;). They&#039;re &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/movie/clueless&quot; &gt;Clueless&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/movie/mean_girls&quot; &gt;Mean Girls&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/movie/pretty_in_pink&quot; &gt;Pretty in Pink&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On the one hand, it&#039;s nice that there are going to be video games for girls, and ones that aren&#039;t totally violent. On the other hand, seriously, &lt;i&gt;what&lt;/i&gt; will these games entail? Competitive shopping? Backstabbing contests? A race against time to alter Iona&#039;s old pink prom dress? Brainstorm below.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Buzz In: Who Are the Meanest Teens to Ever Hit the Screen?</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/1749105</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/1749105&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=112 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl1/1/13839/27_2008/Heathers-for-web.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Lately there&#039;s been a glut of wholesome, good-natured teens (see Jonas Brothers, &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tag/High+School+Musical&quot; &gt;High School Musical&lt;/a&gt;, and Vanessa Hudgens&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou1A6rMtU1Q&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;snuggly ode to sneakers&lt;/a&gt;). But this week&#039;s release of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://video.barnesandnoble.com/DVD/Heathers/Winona-Ryder/e/0013131598995/?delay=y&amp;amp;PV=y&amp;amp;cds2Pid=18836&amp;amp;linkid=1194693&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;20th anniversary of the classic Heathers&lt;/a&gt; reminded me that onscreen teenagers can be really mean. Actually, they can be downright &lt;i&gt;vicious&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The girl group in &lt;b&gt;Heathers&lt;/b&gt; was so mean they were essentially psychopathic. And then there&#039;s the famous pack of mean teens that torments Lindsay Lohan in Tina Fey&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tag/Mean+Girls&quot; &gt;Mean Girls&lt;/a&gt;. Rich girl Caroline Mulford in &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tag/Sixteen+Candles&quot; &gt;Sixteen Candles&lt;/a&gt; is incredibly cruel (well, until she spends an evening with the geeky Farmer Ted). And of course, they&#039;re not always girls: Ryan Phillippe&#039;s character in &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/movie/Cruel_Intentions&quot; &gt;Cruel Intentions&lt;/a&gt; is about as scummy as it gets in terms of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gigglesugar.com/tag/Douchebag&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;douchebag&lt;/a&gt; teen guys.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clear your mind of Disney stars and tell me about the most memorable nasty onscreen teens.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Expecting Greatness Together</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/173065</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/173065&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=110 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/upl0/0/0/03_2008/widownload_0_0.large.jpeg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;inline left&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Fans (like me!) of the former &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&quot;Saturday Night Live&quot;&lt;/a&gt; Weekend Update duo Amy Poehler and Tina Fey will be happy to know the pair is still going strong. In fact, they&#039;re making a baby together! And by &quot;baby&quot; I mean &lt;a href=&quot;http://productionweekly.com/2007/03/11/fey-gets-poehler-knocked-up-for-baby-mama/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;a movie called Baby Mama&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fey will play Kate, a successful executive at Happy Planet (described as &quot;a Whole Foods-type grocery store&quot;) who wants to have a baby but can&#039;t fathom taking a break from her career to do so. Thus, she hires a surrogate mother (Poehler) and, I&#039;m sure, comedic misadventures ensue. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In my opinion, Tina Fey can do little wrong: I loved &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377092/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Mean Girls&lt;/a&gt;, found her refreshing on Weekend Update, and still enjoy watching her in &lt;a href=&quot;/tag/30+Rock&quot; &gt;&quot;30 Rock.&quot;&lt;/a&gt; I may love Poehler even more, so read more&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br class=clear-both /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In fact, I think Poehler has comedic abilities that extend much farther than anything we&#039;ve seen in her mainstream projects thus far. Anyone who has seen her improvise in person (as I have been lucky enough to do) can say with certainty that she is naturally smart, sassy, and hilarious. If anything, some of the bigger things she&#039;s done have dumbed her down (see: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0326856/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Envy&lt;/a&gt;). Here&#039;s hoping &lt;b&gt;Baby Mama&lt;/b&gt; will turn out as awesome as its &quot;parents&quot; are.&lt;br class=clear-both /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>New Moon: Better Than Twilight</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/6308671</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6308671&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=107  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/ed3/192/1922283/47_2009/e1ba4789c4455d94_BellaED.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Let&#039;s be honest: for most of you, it doesn&#039;t matter what I - or any critics for that matter - have to say about &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tags/new+moon&quot; &gt;New Moon&lt;/a&gt;, the incredibly anticipated sequel to last year&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tags/twilight&quot; &gt;Twilight&lt;/a&gt;.  The film started breaking box office records before it was even released, and audiences will flock to the theaters for weeks to come. On the plus side, a ticket to &lt;b&gt;New Moon&lt;/b&gt; is a win even if you&#039;re not a Twihard - provided that you know what you&#039;re getting into.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New Moon&lt;/b&gt; is not incredibly acted, and it doesn&#039;t boast impressive dialogue or larger-than-life special effects.  But it&#039;s not trying to be the Best Picture of the Year, so I can only critique it for what it is: a fantasy movie about a love triangle between a werewolf, a vampire, and a teenage girl. To see what I mean, just read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The movie picks up a few months after where &lt;b&gt;Twilight&lt;/b&gt; left off.  Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is blissfully in love but she can&#039;t fight her insecurities about growing older than her perpetually seventeen vampire boyfriend Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).  All Bella wants for her eighteenth birthday is for Edward to change her into a bloodsucker, but a close call with his brother drives Edward to break up with Bella and leave town instead.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The drama following Bella&#039;s abandonment is everything we remember from high school heartbreak, from Bella&#039;s night terrors to the glazed over look in her eye.  The anguish and pain are easily seen on Stewart&#039;s face, and her innermost thoughts are revealed to the audience through letters to Edward&#039;s sister Alice that will never be sent.  After months of moping, Bella finally starts to open up to Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner), a family friend.  As Bella struggles to find hope in a life without Edward, her friendship is complicated by Jacob&#039;s romantic feelings for Bella and made worse when Jacob discovers that he&#039;s a werewolf (and an enemy to all vampires).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The surprise of the movie is Lautner&#039;s performance.  We&#039;ve seen and heard about those muscles countless times before, but he also packs enough charm and charisma into his Jacob that you truly see him as more than just Bella&#039;s unrelenting admirer / best friend. He presents himself as a viable suitor for Bella&#039;s heart, and it&#039;s hard not to root for him against Robert Pattinson&#039;s wooden (albeit handsome) Edward.  Stewart and Pattinson have chemistry to spare in &lt;b&gt;Twilight&lt;/b&gt;, but in &lt;b&gt;New Moon&lt;/b&gt;, Bella&#039;s relationship with Jacob seems hopeful and comfortable while her scenes with Edward are mostly awkward and frankly not as much fun to watch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The movie belongs to Stewart and Lautner, but their melodrama is balanced out by the characters who pad out the cast.  Yes, we meet the wolf pack and the Volturi, but for the most part the Forks residents and beyond make for some much-needed comic relief. The downside is that while it&#039;s funnier than what you&#039;d expect, not all of the laughs are intentional (a scene where Jacob&#039;s temper rivals that of &lt;b&gt;The Incredible Hulk&lt;/b&gt; comes to mind). &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It doesn&#039;t take more than a grain of salt to appreciate &lt;b&gt;New Moon&lt;/b&gt; for what it is - a film that stays true to its origin and delivers the necessary elements to ensure that you&#039;ll be back when the next installment of the franchise comes our way.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Movie Preview: Miley Cyrus in The Last Song</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/6293105</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6293105&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=107  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/ed3/192/1922283/47_2009/dc094a8ee887d6ad_the_last_song.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Are you ready for your second Nicholas Sparks movie preview in as many months? (Last month&#039;s was the romance &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/tag/Dear+John&quot; &gt;Dear John&lt;/a&gt;.) Here it is: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/tag/the+last+song&quot; &gt;The Last Song&lt;/a&gt; stars Miley Cyrus (cue &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/tag/the+soup&quot; &gt;The Soup&lt;/a&gt;&#039;s &quot;It&#039;s Miley!&quot; sound bite) as a girl who&#039;s dropped off at the home of her estranged father to spend the Summer. Obviously she doesn&#039;t want to be there, obviously she falls for a local boy, and obviously she and her father end up bonding. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You couldn&#039;t call me a Miley fan, but I do love Greg Kinnear, who plays her well-meaning father. From the trailer, the movie looks very sweet and very schlocky - which is exactly how Sparks usually does it. Interestingly, Sparks was commissioned to write both the screenplay and novel simultaneously, with Cyrus in mind. While I don&#039;t know that I&#039;ll be rushing to the theater for this one, it&#039;s probably something you&#039;d find me secretly Netflixing later on; I&#039;m kind of a sucker for the addictive cheesiness of a Sparks movie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Check out the trailer for &lt;b&gt;The Last Song&lt;/b&gt; when you read more.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>Talking New Moon With Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/6187074</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6187074&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=123 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/ed3/192/1922283/46_2009/af8407c830ef17ec_KellanAsh.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Taylor Lautner may be &lt;a href=&quot;http://popsugar.com/tag/new+moon&quot; &gt;dominating the promotional circuit&lt;/a&gt; right now, but they&#039;re not the only cast members with something to say about &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tags/new+moon&quot; &gt;New Moon&lt;/a&gt;. I had the opportunity to chat with costars Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene, aka Emmett and Alice Cullen, during their recent stopover in SF.  They chatted about their characters, the vampire craze, and what it&#039;s like to be a &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tags/twilight&quot; &gt;Twilight celebrity&lt;/a&gt;.&quot;  Here are highlights:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;On why so many people are crazy for the Twilight Saga:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Ashley:&lt;/b&gt;  I think this film in particular is highly relatable. There are a lot of situations that people can relate to. The love story - everyone can relate to being in love or being in lust. You add the vampire, and it adds that next level fantasy. Vampires are mysterious and sensual and dangerous and unattainable. And everyone wants what they can&#039;t have. I think on another level that this came together at the perfect time. All the elements just fit, the casting was spot on, and we&#039;re in a difficult time right now with our economy. That&#039;s why you never have a drop in ticket sales because everyone wants an escape, and this movie is very much an escape from reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kellan:&lt;/b&gt; It&#039;s a good escape but also it deals with so many situations, on so many positive notes. Just looking at it from the vampire coven to the wolf pack. It just deals with everyday issues just on bigger levels, in a way. And you have Bella as the keystone in many situations. You can just all relate from different countries to issues within the United States. It&#039;s easily relatable.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To read a lot more about working with three different directors and why they feel so lucky, just read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;On how their portrayals of the Cullens are similar or different from the books:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kellan:&lt;/b&gt; We got the jobs because we brought something new to it.  You can interpret the characters each their own, but I think it&#039;s what we did alongside. Just like Kristen said - she&#039;s playing Bella but she&#039;s putting her Kristen spin on it, just like all of us are. And I think that&#039;s what&#039;s making it unique. We&#039;re still following the cheat sheets that Stephenie created by making the books, and there&#039;s Wikipedia. We have a lot of information to go off of. But I hope it&#039;s what I did in my audition that set it apart from the other guys trying out.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ashley:&lt;/b&gt; I think it&#039;s mannerisms too. People do fall in love with this book, but I think part of it is that they always want more. You can&#039;t write out every human mannerism. You can imagine it, but seeing the emotion in someone&#039;s eyes and seeing them be affected it - it was kind of easy to give something to it, because we were just being people. We kinda just got lucky.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;On how much more of the Cullens we can expect in the remaining movies&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kellan:&lt;/b&gt; Realistically, we stick pretty close to the books. Obviously us Cullens would love to be in the books a lot more, which would mean we&#039;d be in the movies a lot more. Talking &lt;b&gt;New Moon&lt;/b&gt;, the scenes that the Cullens - except for Ashley, playing Alice who gets to go to Italy and be a main lead in the movie - us Cullens, we have to stick really close to the books, and the scenes that we&#039;re in are really crucial to the story, as you know - the birthday scene, the voting scene. I don&#039;t know, it was kind of a tease. Chris Weitz is such an amazing director, and for us, for myself - I only worked about a week on that movie. And it didn&#039;t even seem like I really got a taste for what it was. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ashley:&lt;/b&gt; In the third film, you&#039;ll see a lot more of the Cullens because it&#039;s all of us collaborating and then getting ready to fight this war that&#039;s coming up. In the second one, my character got a much larger role because Alice is the Cullen, other than Edward, that really embraces Bella and they end up becoming best friends. In the beginning, you see her throw this huge party for Bella, and then Alice is the one who does, in fact, come back for Bella when everyone else decides to skip town. Alice is responsible for dragging Bella over to Italy, and she and I the whole time are fighting to save my brother&#039;s life. And then of course we get held up by the Volturi and stuff like that. My character got to grow a lot, which is really cool.  You get to actually see the relationship develop between Bella and Alice, where in the first one you didn&#039;t. The first one was very much about the romance and showing the audience why these two people are willing to die for each other.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;On working with a different director on each film:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Ashley:&lt;/b&gt; Each director is going to be very different. They&#039;re artists as well, and I don&#039;t think any of them are quite the same. The books, when you read them, all have very, very, different tones. So I think it&#039;s highly appropriate that we switch directors each go. The first one is very much a romance and is a very scenic, beautiful film. And Catherine&#039;s really, really great at capturing that. She&#039;s very high energy and works well in chaos and stuff like that. And it was fantastic because we didn&#039;t quite know what we were getting ourselves into, and so it was nice to have her to guide us when we were freaking out a little bit. She was just so high energy, and it was really contagious. We were sad to lose her and move on to the second film, but then we got Chris Weitz and he&#039;s the complete opposite! But great as well. He&#039;s so giving and caring and collaborative and created this atmosphere that was kind of a safe haven for us. And it was really nice because we didn&#039;t know, switching directors, if they were gonna embrace us or if they had a completely different vision than what we created in the first one. It was nice that he was right there on the same page with us. And the second one is a warmer film, even from the color scheme. The first one is very blue tones, and the second one is much richer and warmer and I think he did a great job at capturing that. And we just finished shooting with David Slade, and I think he&#039;s highly appropriate as well. He just finished shooting &lt;b&gt;30 Days of Night&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Hard Candy&lt;/b&gt;, and they&#039;re both very dark, edgy films. And &lt;b&gt;Eclipse&lt;/b&gt; is very much that. It&#039;s all centered around the anticipation and us getting ready to fight this huge war. We just finished filming, we haven&#039;t gotten to see much of it, but I think it&#039;s gonna be fantastic. He is, technically, the most advanced director. The angles that he shot and how he knows that tweaking something can affect a whole scene and the lenses. He was really nice to work with.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;On coping with the fan effect and being a &quot;Twilight celebrity&quot;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kellan:&lt;/b&gt; That&#039;s what blows my mind, &#039;cause I feel like it&#039;s really unearned in a way. The fans are making our careers. Without them, we wouldn&#039;t be working and doing the saga. There&#039;s so many times that trilogy books become a movie and the first one bombs, and then that&#039;s it. And you&#039;re always hopeful that you get to do them all. Especially since we&#039;re all in love with our characters. I love Emmett Cullen to death, he&#039;s my favorite character I&#039;ve ever played. It&#039;s just so cool to have made it this far, and I think we all hope that we get to finish this series and do &lt;b&gt;Breaking Dawn&lt;/b&gt;. This is such a blessing, it&#039;s every actor&#039;s dream to be part of something like this. It&#039;s not terribly hard either. We don&#039;t shoot halfway around the world; we don&#039;t shoot for a year of our lives. I know a lot of us have homes, we have pets, we have family. And it&#039;s really nice to shoot on the West Coast, either Portland or Vancouver, and have the chance to fly down if we need to. But it&#039;s definitely amazing to be part of something like this. And I don&#039;t think any of us knew how crazy it would be and how exhilarating it would turn out to be.  Going to the premiere, really just, wow. I don&#039;t even remember it because I was really just starstruck by how many fans and signs and cameras. It felt like I was just walking through a strobe light room. It&#039;s amazing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ashley&lt;/b&gt;: I still think we can&#039;t really wrap our heads around what&#039;s going on and what&#039;s happening. We&#039;re still in the midst of filming and kept very busy from one film until the next. It&#039;s only these brief moments where you sit back and are actually able to take a breath where you go &quot;Whoa. Wow. This is crazy.&quot; I mean, the amount of tickets they&#039;ve already sold for &lt;b&gt;New Moon&lt;/b&gt; - I&#039;m pretty sure I can&#039;t even get a ticket if I tried to see my film in Jacksonville and it&#039;s mind boggling.  We&#039;re just very lucky.  I went into this film thinking &quot;Oh my gosh, I got a job&quot; and the it turned into the biggest break of my life.  I think we all feel very blessed to be a part of this.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;On how it feels to be part of Twilight fan fiction:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kellan:&lt;/b&gt; It&#039;s an escape, in a way. We do live in a trivial time period right now. There&#039;s so much depression that it&#039;s kinda cool to be a part of something where people use it to be an escape. In a way that&#039;s kinda what Stephenie did -she had a dream and just elaborated on it. It became a huge success and it&#039;s really encouraging that people are doing the same and just making up this journey.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ashley:&lt;/b&gt; That&#039;s why people love it so much I think. You can take it and make what you want of it. Before the demographic was teenage girls, but now it&#039;s women of every age and guys are starting to get into it, too. It&#039;s because there is that element of fantasy. If you&#039;re 8 years old you look at it one way; if you&#039;re 80 years old you look at it another. I think it&#039;s fantastic that we can draw such a huge crowd. The other thing is - it blows my mind but  people are making connections over this film and over this book. there are mothers and daughters and grandmas who can all sit and talk about the same story and all fantasize about it and I think that&#039;s a really cool thing. I think it&#039;s rare.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

 <title>Which Guest Star Are You Most Excited to See This Week?</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/6247104</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6247104&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=93  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/ed3/192/1922283/46_2009/7f162c77ca429c2f_guest-stars.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/5932931&quot; &gt;November sweeps is here&lt;/a&gt;, which means appearances by big names on some of my favorite shows.  We&#039;ve already seen the likes of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6000175&quot; &gt;Samantha Ronson and Pharrell on 90210&lt;/a&gt;, but now we&#039;re getting to the exciting stuff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lady Gaga hits &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tags/gossip+girl&quot; &gt;Gossip Girl&lt;/a&gt; tonight - &lt;a href=&quot;http://rush.popsugar.tv/6215925&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;check out a sneak peek here&lt;/a&gt; - before &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/5180866&quot; &gt;Melrose Place welcomes back Heather Locklear&lt;/a&gt; tomorrow night. And who could forget James Franco&#039;s big cameo on &lt;b&gt;General Hospital&lt;/b&gt;? While &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/5366878&quot; &gt;I&#039;m still baffled by his career move&lt;/a&gt; - not to mention those &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6113900&quot; &gt;early pics&lt;/a&gt; - Franco on a soap opera is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.popsugar.com/6127415&quot; &gt;bound to be hilarious&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All of this means lots of TV-watching for me, and luckily none of the shows are on the same night, so I don&#039;t even have to pick favorites! Still, I&#039;m curious to hear your opinion - which guest appearance is earning the top spot on your TiVo?&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>FlashForward Breakdown, &quot;Playing Cards With Coyote&quot;</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/6204392</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6204392&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=107  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/ed3/192/1922283/46_2009/8c1f3dbf4e0fef5e_117807_3135_pre.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;After Al&#039;s tragic suicide on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6051662&quot; &gt;last week&#039;s episode of FlashForward&lt;/a&gt;, this week shows how the idea of &quot;changing the game&quot; has affected all the characters.  Mark and Olivia start to find new hope for their relationship, Lloyd teaches Simon a lesson, and Aaron learns more about where his daughter has been for the past two years. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ready to get into all the details? Just read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&quot;The future can be changed&quot;:&lt;/b&gt; Al&#039;s death makes headline news when Celia gets her letter in the mail, instilling hope in Mark and Demetri - for a bit. Mark whisks Olivia off on a romantic getaway and things seem to be much happier between the two.  But once they&#039;re back to regular life, they both get a reality check: Mark gifts her the lingerie she&#039;s wearing in her flash forward, and Aaron&#039;s reunion with Tracy makes Mark go back to believing that the visions may be set in stone.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;The stars are aligned:&lt;/b&gt; Mark thinks he has a big lead when some footage shows up of a man he recognizes from his vision - a woman named Ingrid reports a crime and her phone images reveal a man with a tattoo of three stars on his arm.  Thinking it&#039;s the same pern who breaks into his office in the future, Mark immediately dedicates himself to finding the guy.  Using Ingrid as bait, Mark manages to take kill him, and rushes home to Olivia to tell her that they&#039;re going to have a second chance because he changed the game. But then - surprise! There&#039;s a whole crew of dudes with that tattoo.  Um, seriously Mark? This never occurred to you? It&#039;s not like the guy has an unmistakable tattoo of Edward Cullen on his arm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;That was a crazy game of poker:&lt;/b&gt; Feeling guilty about that whole deadly experiment thing, Lloyd sends out an email to a few colleagues saying &quot;We have to take responsibility.&quot; Of course, Simon isn&#039;t pleased about Lloyd&#039;s plans to go public and wants to settle their argument over a game of Texas hold &#039;em.  There&#039;s plenty of trash talking from Simon, who thinks that he and Lloyd are gods for the impact they&#039;ve had on the planet. He tosses around ideas of fate (was anyone else thinking about &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tags/lost&quot; &gt;Lost&#039;s&lt;/a&gt; Charlie and his fate finger tape?) and just when Simon thinks he&#039;s sitting pretty, Lloyd turns the tables with a sleight of hand. (Some U2 lyrics come to mind here). Somehow I still don&#039;t think Simon is going to make it easy for Lloyd to publicize what they&#039;ve done.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reunited and it feels so good?&lt;/b&gt; Tracy is back at home with Aaron, but she&#039;s not exactly the same girl that went off to war. She&#039;s lost her leg in combat and suffering from PTSD, which she&#039;s reluctant to discuss with her dad at first. Feeling confident from his flash forward, Aaron encourages Tracy to open up about what happened overseas. She finally reveals that her near-death experience was an ambush from Jericho, a group of military contractors that she ratted out after seeing something she shouldn&#039;t. Tracy is paranoid after living a life on the run for two years (and is not at all pleased when Aaron talks to Mark about her situation).  Though keeping track of all the different characters and their separate story lines is getting confusing, I&#039;m liking this new development in Aaron&#039;s story.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Other plot points:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Janice tries to quit but Stan won&#039;t let her. As she continues to contemplate Al&#039;s death and her vision, she starts looking into sperm donation - does this mean those are tears of joy in her flash forward?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ingrid says that she remembers one of the shooters saying &quot;QED,&quot; which is also brought up during Simon and Lloyd&#039;s poker game.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Ingrid and her bird collection can be added to the list that already includes the crows and the bird crashing into Fiona&#039;s window.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;So, is that Simon strangling Nicole in her vision? Creepy. I&#039;m wondering if she finds out his secret and tries to intervene.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;How&#039;d you feel about this week&#039;s episode? Any new theories on what&#039;s going to happen over the next few months? Let&#039;s get the conversation going!&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>90210 vs. Melrose Place: Which Was More Scandalous?</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/6132305</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6132305&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=160 height=117  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/ed2/192/1922283/46_2009/06a9c55b55f14732_90210melrose-place.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;This week&#039;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tags/90210&quot; &gt;90210&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://buzzsugar.com/tags/melrose+place&quot; &gt;Melrose Place&lt;/a&gt; combo don&#039;t have a ton of shocking moments, but it&#039;s obvious both shows are gearing up for major stuff to go down. (Like a drug bust, murder arrest, and Heather Locklear, for instance?!) We do, however, get some nice moments between the characters. Teddy, for one, is acting like an angel - although I can&#039;t tell if it&#039;s sincere, because I&#039;ve made it a rule not to trust a guy who ties sweaters over his shoulders. And the gang from &lt;b&gt;Melrose&lt;/b&gt; have a nice come-together moment around the pool, which I&#039;d like to see more of. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not that everything is warm and fuzzy. Hardly. There&#039;s still scandal to go around, so ready to decide which gave us more gossip-worthy material? Just read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;90210 point:&lt;/b&gt; Navid discovers Jasper selling Adrianna drugs in her car in the school parking lot. Navid calls Adrianna to confront her, but she of course denies his accusations. Jasper also says the story isn&#039;t true and threatens Navid in a &quot;hypothetical&quot; way. Like, &quot;hypothetically if I was a drug dealer, you wouldn&#039;t want to mess with me, because I know bad people.&quot; Real discreet stuff.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Melrose Place counterpoint:&lt;/b&gt; The blood tests from last week&#039;s discovery of Sydney&#039;s murder weapon come back - and Auggie is the guilty party. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/5788889&quot; &gt;Auggie might as well be off the show already&lt;/a&gt;, because he is nowhere to be found, supposedly on a trip in Mexico. Ella&#039;s relieved, Riley has doubts, and Violet continues to defend him, seeing as how they slept together and she&#039;s crazy. When she told Riley that she and Auggie were &quot;intimate&quot; with each other, I nearly ralphed.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;90210 point:&lt;/b&gt; Debbie is in the doghouse with Dixon. He tries to go comfort Sasha after her &quot;miscarriage,&quot; and Debbie admits that Sasha faked the pregnancy - and that she hid the truth. Dixon&#039;s unreasonably angry with Debbie, telling her &quot;you&#039;re not my real mom anyway.&quot; Come on, Dixon. Deb doesn&#039;t deserve that.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Melrose Place counterpoint:&lt;/b&gt; David sneaks over to Michael&#039;s house while he&#039;s at work and borrows Noah. He takes his little bro to a fair, but things go amiss when Noah climbs a wall and falls. David rushes him to Lauren at the hospital, and she administers treatment - but not before Michael gets wind of everything. He&#039;s understandably furious but later tells David that he&#039;s glad he cares about Noah. Could this be the start of an actual relationship between the father and son?!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;90210 point:&lt;/b&gt; Liam is on the rampage after he tells Mr. Matthews that Jen is psycho and Ryan doesn&#039;t believe him. He takes his attitude out on Ivy, Teddy, and an entire group of surfers. Later, Liam explains his behavior, opening up to the guys (and Ivy) about his history with Jen, and the entire thing culminates in a cheesy friend speech to take Jen down, complete with a high-five. [eye roll]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Melrose Place counterpoint&lt;/b&gt;: Violet is back to blackmailing Michael. This time, we find out that she&#039;s wanted for a court trial for previously resisting arrest. She enlists Michael, suggesting that he find her a lawyer in return for her discretion about their one-night stand. He, in turn, threatens her back, telling her that he can make the sentencing go against her unless she erases the sex video. Which she does . . . or so it seems. I&#039;m still not 100 percent sure that it won&#039;t pop up later, but the power play between the two of them was an episode highlight for me.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;90210:&lt;/b&gt; With Silver&#039;s half birthday approaching, her mom decides to make up for years of missed celebrations and throw her multiple parties at once, dressing up their entire house in different themes. The whole thing seemed like a stretch - really, Teddy called his dad&#039;s set designer friend to rig up the ambiance? - but it was still nice to see her and her mom get their moment together. Unfortunately, at the end of the episode, Silver goes to wake her mom in the morning and realizes that her mom has passed away.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Melrose Place counterpoint:&lt;/b&gt; Whoa, whoa, &lt;i&gt;whoa&lt;/i&gt; - Ella makes a move on Jonah that&#039;s bold even for her. It all starts when she needs him to pose as a publicist at a lunch with a hot new indie director. The director comes on to Ella, and Jonah swoops in to put off his advances by pretending to be her fiance. They share a steamy kiss to be extra-convincing, and sure enough, once the director is out of sight, Ella suggests that the two of them go to a nearby hotel, so Jonah can see what he&#039;s been missing. He angrily tosses Ella&#039;s advances by telling her he&#039;s in love with Riley. You could tell part of her feels hurt by his words - and that part of him doesn&#039;t actually mean them.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;90210 point:&lt;/b&gt; Annie is falling hard for Jasper. Their back and forth &quot;I love yous&quot; were pretty sickening, and she even gets in a sting at Dixon, defending Jasper and telling Dixon he&#039;s a bad judge of character because of Sasha. But the most cringe-worthy part is Annie tells Jasper that she wants him to be her first - and they start tossing on the bed as the episode wraps. Oh, Annie - you&#039;re &lt;i&gt;so&lt;/i&gt; gonna wish you had given it up to Ethan instead.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Melrose Place counterpoint:&lt;/b&gt; You saw it coming: Lauren and David finally kiss! David&#039;s actually a standup guy this episode by taking care of Noah, but his speech to Lauren about how he wants her to see the best in him was unexpected - and welcome, in my opinion. Lauren of course is hesitant due to her call girl lifestyle, which David still doesn&#039;t know about. I just hope they don&#039;t let that hold her back too long, so we can explore these two as a couple.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is tough one to call, since neither show packed a ton of drama, relatively speaking. I&#039;m going to go with &lt;b&gt;Melrose Place&lt;/b&gt; though, since we find Auggie&#039;s blood on the murder weapon, Ella propositioning Jonah, and David and Lauren locking lips. But would you argue for &lt;b&gt;90210&lt;/b&gt; instead? I&#039;ll agree that it did include some pretty nasty lines, and obviously Silver&#039;s storyline with her mom carries some weight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me know your pick in the comments, then head over to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://90210-superfans.buzzsugar.com/&quot; &gt;90210 Superfans group&lt;/a&gt; in the Buzz Community to discuss the show in more detail.&lt;/p&gt;

 <title>What to Netflix: New DVD Tuesday</title>
 <link>http://www.buzzsugar.com/6114173</link>
 <description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/6114173&quot;&gt;&lt;img  width=131 height=160  src=&#039;http://media.onsugar.com/files/ed2/192/1922283/46_2009/ffc89254dab59119_up-bluray.large.jpg&#039;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tuesday means it&#039;s time to rev up your entertainment engine with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/tag/what+to+download&quot; &gt;new releases in music&lt;/a&gt; and new DVDs to add to your Netflix queue. I&#039;ve checked out today&#039;s movie offerings and have some recommendations for the movies that are worth your rental time below.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Up/70103760?strackid=5c0fdee741b21a25_0_srl&amp;amp;strkid=1200244618_0_0&amp;amp;trkid=222336&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Up&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This Summer&#039;s hit from Pixar is as tear-jerking as it is funny and light, and equally entertaining for kids and adults. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/tag/Up&quot; &gt;Up&lt;/a&gt; is a story about an old man, voiced by Ed Asner, who attaches his home to balloons to escape his rapidly changing neighborhood. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/3202782&quot; &gt;I loved&lt;/a&gt; the emotional and original story, and wouldn&#039;t be surprised to see it nab a Best Picture nomination. The DVD has a ton of fun extras like cartoon shorts &lt;b&gt;Partly Cloudy&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Dug&#039;s Special Mission&lt;/b&gt;, and the expected making-of featurettes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/up/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;98%&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br clear=all&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See two more new releases when you read more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netflix.com/Movie/The_Ugly_Truth/70103759?strackid=30f87a22c70c9977_0_srl&amp;amp;strkid=1136411580_0_0&amp;amp;trkid=222336&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Ugly Truth&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler play opposite each other in this romantic comedy that hinges on the notion that women want love, while men only want sex.  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/3564522&quot; &gt;I couldn&#039;t find&lt;/a&gt; much romance, though; in its place are cliches and some truly cringe-worthy moments. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But if you&#039;re one of the many &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/5788100&quot; &gt;who loves Gerard Butler&lt;/a&gt;, you may enjoy his boorish behavior. DVD extras include deleted scenes, two alternate endings, director commentary, and a gag reel.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/ugly_truth/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;15%&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br clear=all&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Spread/70112499?strackid=44e51661faf105f3_0_srl&amp;amp;strkid=1432769894_0_0&amp;amp;trkid=222336&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Spread&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ashton Kutcher is just a gigolo in the indie &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.buzzsugar.com/tag/spread&quot; &gt;Spread&lt;/a&gt;. OK, maybe he&#039;s not exactly a gigolo, but it&#039;s pretty close - his character Nikki hangs around wealthy women like Anne Heche, exchanging good lovin&#039; for a place to stay. When he unintentionally falls for a mysterious girl, his sugar mama ways are challenged. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kutcher&#039;s role is more dramatic than what he usually takes on, and the love scenes are supposedly pretty steamy. Included in the DVD&#039;s extras are a feature called &quot;The World According to Nikki,&quot; commentary with Kutcher (who also produced the movie), and deleted scenes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/spread/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;13%&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
