MILWAUKEE – For students entering college this fall, e-mail is too slow, phones have never had cords and the computers they played with as kids are now in museums.
The Class of 2014 thinks of Clint Eastwood more as a sensitive director than as Dirty Harry urging punks to “go ahead, make my day.” Few incoming freshmen know how to write in cursive or have ever worn a wristwatch. (more…)

Two movies set in the Arabian desert caravan through this Memorial Day weekend. Sex and the City 2 cavorts on over 6,200 screens at 3,445 locations, while Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time rubs off onto more than 5,800 screens at 3,646 locations.
Sex and the City 2 got a jump on the weekend with its Thursday launch, making $14.2 million.

Sex 2‘s figure includes $3 million from its midnight opening at 2,200 venues, which was greater than its predecessor’s $2.5 million at the same point. (more…)

“Why did we ever stop drinking these?” Miranda wonders after taking a sip of the Cosmopolitans they made famous during the television series’ six-year run from 1998 to 2004.
“‘Cause everyone else started,” Carrie replies.
Like the girls’ pouf skirts, Manolo slingbacks and Fendi baguettes, the Cosmo has indeed gone out of style, a victim of its own popularity and cheap, nasty knock-offs. (more…)

So much has been said about Sex and the City: The Neverending Story, so we’ll keep it short and sweet. Whether you’re mixing up cosmos and shining up your Manolos for the SATC 2 premiere this Friday or writing off the whole enterprise as a bloated parade of materialistic caricatures, you’ve got to admit that the exploits of these four fictional females have deeply affected the social and cultural landscape of New York. Let’s take a look back at how the show has changed life in Manhattan for the better—or worse. (more…)

Jonathan Groff in “Glee” |
Oh my Gaga! Here we go, Gleeks: The creators of “Glee” have revealed the songs that will be part of the upcoming Lady Gaga and Madonna-themed episodes of the FOX series.
Creator Ryan Murphy told EW.com that Lea Michele will do a stripped down version of Gaga’s “Poker Face” and the cast will unite for “Bad Romance.”
EW.com also reports that the cast will also get decked out in costumes inspired by her outrageous fashions. “I do know that we’re all different Lady Gagas, and at one point I am the Kermit the Frog Lady Gaga,” Michele told EW. “I saw a picture of the Kermit the Frog Lady Gaga with a Post-It on it that said ‘Lea.’ I was like, oh, great. Everyone else has incredible Lady Gaga outfits and I have that one.”
Also coming up is the all-Madonna episode of “Glee,” which will be released as an EP on April 20. The digital-music service iTunes not only lists the songs that will be performed, but reveals that Michele’s former Spring Awakeningco-star Jonathan Groff (who guests on the series) performs in four of the numbers.
