2013 is already looking up: Vulture has learned that A24 Pictures will be releasing Harmony Korine’s cramazing Spring Breakers on March 22 in New York and Los Angeles, followed by a nationwide bow the following week. Need a refresher on the movie? (You should already have this committed to memory, but maybe you’re new.) Spring Breakers stars Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine as four bikini-clad teens who turn to a life of crime to finance their spring-break vacation, though things take an even darker turn when the girls get mixed up with James Franco’s cornrowed criminal Alien.
Ezra Miller. It’s the third Cannes Film Festival for actor Ezra Miller — he first attended in 2008 for Afterschool at age 14, then again last year for We Need To Talk About Kevin — and it’s been an odd awakening for the 19-year-old: Thanks to those pesky kids in Moonrise Kingdom, he’s no longer the youngest person in the room. So now that he’s in the position of being either a wise sage or a corrupting influence on our preteen friends, which route will he take?
The bulk of Jay-Z’s new book Decoded, out this week, consists of a lyrical exegesis of 36 of Jay’s own works. What better source could there possibly be? How about RapGenius.com, the world’s premier rap-lyric-explanation website. They’ve already tackled all 36 songs in the book (plus 75 other Jay-Z tracks), and while Decoded is undeniably a more handy tray for rolling joints (unless you’re using an iPad) it turns out that, here and there, RapGenius’s close textual analysis does prove more insightful than Hov’s own.
Two years off in rock is like asking for extinction, but Fall Out Boy has never had a problem reinventing their sound to keep themselves alive. They’re back today with “Young and Menace,” the ominous first song off of their upcoming seventh (!) album, Mania (out September 15), and a video that lives up to the album’s title. While the song interpolates Britney Spears’s “Oops! … I Did It Again” for its chorus, references Nikki Sixx for no good reason, and sounds like an Infinity on High–era song that’s been struck by lightning and run through a blender, its surreal video — though equally as all over the place — does contain an unexpected message that might be painful to see.
That time Ryan Gosling broke up a street fight and a bystander correctly identified him as the guy from The Notebook? That almost never happens, according to Gosling. “They’re disappointed when I’m not Ryan Reynolds,” the actor told E!, acting out a typical conversation with a fan: “‘Oh, can I get my picture with you?’ And you’re like, sure, and they go, ‘I thought you were more muscle-y.’ No. ‘Have you gotten, like, more unattractive for a role?
Ewan McGregor (right) in Fargo. Like the two seasons that preceded it, the third iteration of Fargo shifts to a different time period and introduces a cavalcade of idiosyncratic new characters, yet delivers all the things one has come to expect from this limited series. Which is to say that season three features, among other things and no spoiler alert necessary: decent folk who make incredibly stupid decisions; dazzling directorial choices; intimidating heavies who roll in from out of town; misunderstandings that lead to serious crimes; a pinch of sci-fi (remember the UFOs in season two?

The 2000s pop-punk star got buried by the industry and growing up. Her return to music looks different — even if she doesn’t. Photo: Mathew Guido for Spoke Entertainment Inc. The world first met Fefe Dobson when she was 18 years old. The Toronto singer-songwriter possessed all the pop-punk/punk-rock stylings and angst of the era when her self-titled debut album landed in 2003 — when punk rock’s popularity had spread so far globally that there was increasing demand for more voices that sounded like hers.
Earlier this month, Felicity Huffman was sentenced to 14 days in jail due to her involvement in the college admissions scandal, after she entered a guilty plea to the charges of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest-services mail fraud — a.k.a. paying $15,000 to fabricate a higher SAT score for her daughter. Now, that daughter wants to leave the family’s scamming days in the past and ethically retake the exam.
