'Night at the Museum 2': Okay, fine, I'm going to see it...what's wrong with me?!
Against my better judgment, I think I might actually fork over the $12.50 to see Night at Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. The first one was so bland, I actually don’t remember much of it. And I am in no way a fan of Ben Stiller. Finally, I laughed just one time in the trailer, at Bill Hader’s "Sac-a-ja-me-ha" line. So, why exactly am I curious about the sequel? What’s wrong with me?!
I think my curiosity lies in two individuals, specifically. There’s Amy Adams, whom Owen Gleiberman says steals the film. She’s pretty much the most lovable actress in the movies these days. The second person: Hank Azaria, who plays the villainous pharaoh Kahmunrah. Everyone knows Azaria is as great at accents as Stiller is at playing the same role in every movie. (Uh-oh. My anti-Ben tendencies are showing again.) I’m curious to hear his take on what he says is an impersonation of Boris Karloff. It sounds hilarious. Even so, the movie seems like harmless fun and perfect for a lazy matinee endeavor. So I’m in.
What movie(s) are you planning on seeing this holiday weekend, PopWatchers? (Terminator Salvation?) Anyone else share my interest in Night at the Museum 2? And are there any movies you paid to see when you knew in the back of your mind they were probably going to totally blow? I’ll get the party started: I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry. Poor life choice.

PopWatch Dictionary: Hangaoke
hangaoke
noun
A private-room karaoke experience, which the participants enter into knowing that they’ll consume enough alcohol to produce a hangover the following morning — or, what is technically "later this morning," by the time they finally part ways.
Origin: For the umpteenth time, an EW Happy Hour Thursday night turned into three hours at a bar, followed by three hours at a karaoke establishment, where Michael Slezak and I may or may not have dueted on Lisa Lisa & Cult Jam’s "All Cried Out." (Next time, we recreate the choreography below.)

Morrissey: We've come to wish you a happy birthday
Today, Steven Patrick Morrissey — known to most of us mere mortals as just Morrissey — turns 50. If you’re like me and you grew up moping around your suburban American bedroom singing along to "What Difference Does It Make?" and feeling like it summed up your life perfectly, I hereby invite you to join me in wishing the former frontman to the Smiths a joyous mid-century milestone. He might have once sung the lyrics "I’ve come to wish you an unhappy birthday, ’cause you’re evil and you lie…," but not us. Mozzer, we’ve come to wish you a very happy birthday, ’cause you’re neato and really fly.
Here he is (below) singing "This Charming Man" on British TV in February. When you’re done with that, check out his hilariously awkward interview with Russell Brand (also below! Too bad the person who uploaded the video spelled Morrissey’s name wrong). Cheers!

Spot Inspection: Last movie you paid to see twice in theaters? 'Star Trek'?
Has the economy affected how many times you’ll pay to see a movie in theaters? What’s the last film you paid to see twice? I recently contemplated a second screening of Star Trek (because I’m already going through post-finale TV withdrawal), but I denied myself the pleasure because I’d missed the IMAX show time. In my mind, that was the only way I could rationalize seeing it twice — if it was a different experience, a view-that-Spock-and-Uhura-elevator-scene-on-a-giant-effin-screen experience.
Your turn.

Who wants to chew on a Bazooka Joe movie? (GROAN!)
My ultimate career goal of seeing my Pillsbury Doughboy fan fiction play out on the big screen just became a lot more realistic: There will be a freaking movie based on inexplicably eye-patched processed food mascot Bazooka Joe. It’s part of Michael Eisner’s plan to prove he’s insane rejuvenate the Topps trading card brand — he purchased the company in 2007. This is so incredibly lame. Even Dr. Dick Solomon isn’t impressed by Bazooka Joe, and he’s normally fascinated by anything.

Nothing left for me to do but...DANCE!
The Wayans Brothers and MTV Films’ comedy Dance Flick (read EW’s review here) opens tonight, and we’ve gotten all nostalgic just thinking about all the toe-tapper movies Flick could possibly parody. Know what might be just as good as the movie? Today’s EW.com photo gallery of 30 Classic Dance Scenes! My personal favorite by far: Center Stage’s Cooper’s Dance. I know, I know, the film is kind of considered a guilty pleasure, but in all seriousness, I think it’s a great movie. And by great, I mean that I can pretty much watch it over and over again and never get sick of it. (Admit it: every time you catch it on ABC Family and such, you get sucked in too!) I love getting a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of super-competitive dance, but the best part of Stage is the finale performance in which Jody (Amanda Schull…um, wonder where she is these days?) sheds her good-girl image — literally — and busts a move in a fiery red costume to Jamiroquai’s "Canned Heat."
What about you, PopWatchers? Which dance scene puts canned heat in your heels?

Robert Pattinson: Fans pay $20,000 for kiss -- on the cheek
At amfAR‘s annual Cinema Against AIDS charity event in Cannes Thursday night, Robert Pattinson auctioned off two kisses* — at $20,000 a pucker. Commendable definitely. But the kisses were only on the cheek. UNACCEPTABLE! Unless he lingered and whispered something sweet in my their ears like "You’re lovely."
Honestly, how much money would you be willing to drop for a kiss from Pattinson? Which celeb’s kiss would get you to open your wallet the quickest? (It’s Friday. Play along.)
* Neither went to Sharon Stone, who hosted the auction.

Why is it so hard to get Bruce Springsteen tickets?
The Newark Star-Ledger has revealed that although upwards of 38,000 seats were available for Bruce Springsteen’s two shows at East Rutherford, N.J.’s Izod Center this week, only a paltry 6,000 fans actually succeeded in buying tickets from Ticketmaster. The rest seem to have gone to sponsors, label people, and various other cronies. According to the New York Times‘ sophisticated mathematical analysis, this means that "you may have a better chance of becoming a member of Mr. Springsteen’s E Street Band than buying tickets to one of his shows." It so happens that I was lucky enough to attend the first of Springsteen’s Izod shows last night, so… lemme just crunch a few numbers here… carry the 38,000… does this mean that I am the newest member of the E Street Band? Aww-right!
All kidding aside, Ticketmaster makes it insanely difficult to see the Boss. In order to get my tickets for last night, I had to take part in a coordinated three-pronged plan of attack involving myself, my girlfriend, and my girlfriend’s dad all logging onto Ticketmaster at the same instant back in February — and we still almost got shut out because of some computer glitch. It’s a shame, because seeing the E Street Band is one of the most reliably awesome live music experiences in the world. They were in fantastic form last night, from the unstoppable opening one-two punch of "Badlands" into "Adam Raised a Cain" on out. Extra kudos are in order for someone who actually is the newest member of the E Street Band: 18-year-old Jay Weinberg, son of Max, who’s filling in on this tour while his old man is busy preparing for Conan O’Brien’s new gig. The kid can really play. (Is it sacrilege for me to hope he becomes a semi-permanent E Street member going forward?)
No fan should have to miss out on seeing that, and I can’t help but think that Bruce himself would be unhappy to realize how many regular folks are getting shut out. Anybody have any Springsteen ticket-buying horror stories you’d like to share? Or have you been among the lucky few who manage to snag a ticket for this tour?

Not buyin' it, Bikini Girl
National disappointment for women Katrina Darrell told Radar Online she had no idea Kara DioGuardi (Dear god, Kara! Stop initiating creepy hand-to-face touches!) was going to sing with her onstage during Wednesday night’s American Idol season 8 finale. Nope. That is a big fat lie. That’d be like me saying Michael Slezak’s freshly dyed Allison Iraheta-red hair (get ready to die laughing, y’all…) "looks great." Absolutely preposterous.
Anyone believe her?
