Music Video: She & Him "In The Sun"

M. Ward is too cool for you. Zooey Deschanel dances in the library and hula hoops in the gym. "In The Sun" is proof that She & Him's upcoming album Volume 2 is picking up right where their debut album left off...amazing.

TV Tonight - Lost

A new episode, entitled Dr. Linus, airs tonight at 9/8c on ABC. Ben deals with the consequences of an uncovered lie. It was written by Edward Kitsis/Adam Horowitz and directed by Mario Van Peebles (New Jack City, Posse). Is it just marketing or will Ben actually die? And who will kill him? (let's face it he's not going by natural causes)

Here's the official trailer for the Joan Jett biopic The Runaways. Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning rock 1970s style with some kick-butt songs. I'll probably see it twice.
