New Movie Releases: ‘Final Destination 5,’ ‘The Help’ and More [VIDEOS]
In what has ironically turned out to be the franchise that just won’t die, ‘Final Destination 5′ opens in theaters Friday, promising more gore, more violence and, yes, more death.
If you’re sick of the franchise, or if you just prefer something lighter, there are two comedies brand-new to choose from this weekend. One is the R-Rated ’30 Minutes or Less,’ which re-teams Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg (‘The Social Network’) with his ‘Zombieland’ director, Ruben Fleischer, in this flick about a bank robbery gone horribly wrong.
Or, if you’re feeling a bit more musically inclined, there’s always ‘Glee Live! 3-D!’, the latest incarnation from Fox’s uber-successful TV series.

Jennifer Lopez Covers Vanity Fair, Will Return to ‘American Idol’
Only a few weeks after she announced that she is splitting from Marc Anthony, actress/singer/’American Idol’ host Jennifer Lopez opened up to Vanity Fair about the downfall of her marriage and why she’s still an “eternal optimist.”
In an exclusive cover story, Lopez revealed: “It’s not that I didn’t love myself before. Sometimes we don’t realize that we are compromising ourselves. To understand that a person is not good for you, or that that person is not treating you in the right way, or that he is not doing the right thing for himself – if I stay, then I am not doing the right thing for me.”
