New Movies Opening Today:
The Five-Year Engagement ... Rated 'R' and starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt. The comedy looks at what happens when an engaged couple, Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, keeps getting tripped up on the long walk down the aisle.
The Pirates! Band of Misfits ... rated 'PG' and starring Hugh Grant and Jeremy Piven. In "The Pirates! Band of Misfits," Hugh Grant stars in his first animated role as the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side, and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to the much coveted Pirate Of The Year Award. It's a quest that takes our heroes from the shores of exotic Blood Island to the foggy streets of Victorian London. Along the way they battle a diabolical queen (Imelda Staunton) and team up with a haplessly smitten young scientist (David Tennant), but never lose sight of what a pirate loves best: adventure!
Safe .. rated 'R' and starring Jason Statham. A second-rate cage fighter on the mixed martial arts circuit, Luke Wright lives a numbing life of routine beatings and chump change... until the day he blows a rigged fight. Wanting to make an example of him, the Russian Mafia murders his family and banishes him from his life forever, leaving Luke to wander the streets of New York destitute, haunted by guilt, and tormented by the knowledge that he will always be watched, and anyone he develops a relationship with will also be killed.
The Raven .. rated 'R' and starring John Cusack. The macabre and lurid tales of Edgar Allan Poe are vividly brought to life - and death in this stylish, gothic thriller starring John Cusack as the infamous author. When a madman begins committing horrific murders inspired by Poe's darkest works, a young Baltimore detective (Luke Evans) joins forces with Poe in a quest to get inside the killer's mind in order to stop him from making every one of Poe's brutal stories a blood chilling reality. A deadly game of cat and mouse ensues, which escalates when Poe's love (Alice Eve, "She's Out of My League") becomes the next target. Intrepid Pictures'
No Running: Michelle Obama told kids at the White House yesterday she has no plans to run for President in 2016. "Absolutely not. No. Being president is a really hard job and it’s an important job. And when my husband is running for president, we’re right in there; we’re serving, too. And I think that once his terms are over, we’ll go on to do other important things -- because there are so many ways that you can help this country and the world, even if you’re not president of the United States."
Simon Cowell recently told One Direction's Niall Horan he couldn't dye his hair. A source says, "Simon still controls a lot about the band down to the finest detail. Niall was desperate to get rid of his blond locks and go black just for an experiment, like loads of normal teens. Luckily, he had the sense to ask Simon first because he knows how he works. He put in a text to him asking if he could change his hair color. Simon was straight back on to him with a short reply, 'No way'."

But well, I am a public personality, it is what I wanted, so I have to deal with it."

Cinderella’s Glass Slippers Can Be Yours Thanks to Designer Christian Louboutin
Most young girls dream of living the Cinderella life. For some reason, the whole idea of getting swept away by a Prince Charming-type billionaire appeals to the masses. (We blame ‘The Real Housewives of Disney.’)
Well, to help attract that dream boat with tons of cash, designer Christian Louboutin is putting his own “magic touch” on a pair of Cinderella-inspired glass slippers just for you.
In honor of Disney‘s re-release of ‘Cinderella’ on DVD and Blu-ray for the fall, the internationally recognized French shoe connoisseur will unveil his latest creation this summer.
“I have been so lucky to have crossed paths with Cinderella, an icon who is so emblematic to the shoe world as well as the dream world,” said Louboutin.
There’s been no word yet on exactly how much these glass pumps will cost, but considering his shoes are often priced in the thousands (yes, thousands) you might want to start saving up right now. Or you could just simply make a wish to your fairy godmother. Whatever works.
