Weekend To-Do List: When Animals Attack Edition

Ba-dum, ba-dum, ba-dum... It's Shark Week! Everybody's favorite annual Discovery Channel chompfest begins on Sunday.

For more benign weekend fare involving the animal kingdom's revenge upon humanity, take your kids to the multiplex to see the clever Ant Bully.

Or check out the exploits of a fondly remembered pair of megalomaniacal mice as Pinky and the Brain extend their bid for world domination to DVD.

Party animals The New York Dolls (or at least their two surviving members) strike again with reunion CD One Day It Will Please Us to Remember Even This, which could have been the great lost glam-rock album of 1976 had the proto-punks stayed together that long.

French glitterati are on the prowl in Kate Muir's satirical novel Left Bank. (Speaking of prowling French glitterati, Stereogum reminds us of this video clip, in which smut-pop pioneer Serge Gainsbourg makes a profane pass at the young Whitney Houston. Hell to the non!)

Finally, check out Us magazine's collection of celebrity spawn who age 20 years before your eyes. No one is attacked by animals in this Web time-waster, but it's pretty scary nonetheless.
