CELEBRITY TERROR ALERT: THINGS WE SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THIS WEEK

British tabs are saying a grouchy Justin Timberlake reacted poorly to angry, snubbed fans by cussing at them and supposedly spitting on them off his hotel balcony. Maybe he's just bringing saliva back.

Sorry, ladies, he's taken. Irish actor Colin Farrell is breaking the hearts of his female fans (not to mention a few male ones) by saying he thinks he's fallen for his new girlfriend, 22-year-old Dubliner Muireann McDonnell. How is he sure she's "the one"? Blab! is guessing that she still looked good when the Guinness wore off.

Blockbuster summer songs make you feel good

Friday, June 29, 2007

Each summer, a song emerges that comes to define those warm, sunshiny months for seasons afterward: Donna Summer’s “Bad Girls.” Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out.” Usher’s “Yeah.” Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love.” And, unfortunately, the “Macarena.”

But not all songs released in the summertime can become the next “SexyBack,” the Justin Timberlake jam that had clubs rocking last summer, or “I Get Around,” the Beach Boys’ 1964 cruising hit, or even the “Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini,” which Bryan Hyland made a No. 1 hit in 1960.

What raises a song from just a hit to the level of a full-fledged summer classic is an intoxicating mixture of star power, smart songwriting and slick production. And while blockbuster summer songs have been as varied as the artists who performed them, they all share a some common thread: They make you feel good.

Capsule movie reviews: Live Free or Die HardEl Paso Times StaffArticle Launched: 06/29/2007 12:00:00 AM MDT var requestedWidth = 0;

Friday, June 29, 2007

"Evening" (PG-13) Boasting an ensemble of Hollywood's best actresses, this drama is unabashedly sentimental but still effective. Ann (Vanessa Redgrave) is dying. Her two adult daughters -- reduced from the book's five kids via three marriages, an extra layer of soap operatic entanglement that the filmmakers wisely jettison -- have come home to await the inevitable. As she's waking from a nap, Ann groggily mumbles something about Harris, a name that Constance (Redgrave's real-life daughter Natash...

"Live Free or Die Hard" (PG-13) "Live Free or Die Hard" doesn't strain for novelty, staying comfortably within the plot conventions of the earlier episodes (and of Bruce Willis' recent run-the-gauntlet thriller "16 Blocks"). McClane, who has "borrowed" an unmarked car to visit his resentful daughter at her New Jersey college, is assigned to pick up a nearby free-lance hacker linked to a high-security Advertisementbreach in the nation's cyber-infrastructure. Matt Farrell (Justin Long) is everythi...

"Ratatouille" (G) "Ratatouille" may be the first Pixar movie that is so advanced, so sophisticated, it doesn't feel like it was made for kids. On a fundamental level, sure, children will probably enjoy watching the animated adventures of Remy, a plucky Parisian rat who leaves the colony to pursue his dream of becoming a gourmet chef. But there's nothing silly or childlike about it. If you st
