What's Hot This Week April 8, 2008
Beauty Contest:
Happiest Mom-and-me Story Contest
With Mother's Day coming up, Clinique wants to celebrate you and your mom in their fun contest. Starting April 9, and running through May 5, go to Clinique.com and share your happiest Mom-and-me story along with a photo of the two of you.

Charity Event:
Idol Gives Back
Tune in April 9 to see Fergie, Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Chris Daughtry, Ashley Tisdale, Maroon 5, Elliott Yamin, John Legend, Fantasia, Carrie Underwood and others perform on American Idol's second charitable event, Idol Gives Back. They'll be helping raise funds — and awareness — for charities including the Children's Defense Fund, Make It Right, Malaria No More and Save The Children. Stars like Reese Witherspoon, Dane Cook, Kiefer Sutherland, Vanessa Hudgens, and Peyton and Eli Manning will be there, too. Tune in to find out how to donate to these very worthy causes.
Movie:
Prom Night
Like being terrified? Then we've got the movie for you. Brittany Snow stars as the only surviving member of a family killed by a psychopath. Now she's just trying to go on with her life and have a normal, fun prom night, but she can't, because there's a killer on the loose intent on stalking her and her friends.
Music:
Leona Lewis — Spirit
British R&B singer Leona Lewis won Britain's American Idol-like television show, and she's already huge in her native England. Now she's releasing her debut album, Spirit, here in the States, with amazing ballads and more raucous, upbeat tunes as well. She's already wowed Oprah!
On Tour:
Lollapalooza
This August 1-3, Chicago will be rocking like mad. Bands like Radiohead, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Kanye West, Wilco, The Raconteurs, Love and Rockets, Gnarls Barkley, Bloc Party, The Black Keys, Broken Social Scene, Flogging Molly, Cat Power, Lupe Fiasco, The National, G. Love & Special Sauce, and many others will perform, reports Pollstar.com. Visit Lollapalooza.com to get tickets now!
DVD:
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
This funny flick, starring John C. Reilly, sends up all the more serious, staid musical biopics we've seen in theaters of late. Rent it for some silliness.
TV:
The Memory Keeper's Daughter
In this Lifetime movie based on the book by Kim Edwards, a husband tells his wife their infant twin daughter died, instead of revealing the truth: he's given the child up for adoption because she has Down syndrome. This touching film features actress Krystal Nausbaum who has Down syndrome herself.
