Come to Aaron’s Party
Poised for superstardom among the teenybopper set, young Aaron Carter has toured with the Backstreet Boys (the band featuring his older brother, Nick).

Aaron’s new album, “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It),” has already gone platinum. Watch the video of his latest single, “That’s How I Beat Shaq,” which shows Aaron using his wits rather than his size in a matchup against Shaquille O’Neil of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Push it All Aside
The pop duo Alisha’s Attic first appeared on the British music scene in 1996. Since then, they’ve released two albums and a stack of hits. They recorded their newest album, “The House We Built,” in California with producer Bill Bottrell, who has also worked with Sheryl Crow and Michael Jackson. Watch the video for their infectious single, “Push it All Aside,” presented by Video-C, the U.K.’s music video network.

Thank You Very Much Thank You Very Much
A group of ex-cons plan to rob a Las Vegas casino during (what else, in Vegas?) a convention of Elvis impersonators. The thieves use the event as a cover and a distraction while they’re taking care of business.

Will their ultimate theme song be “Jailhouse Rock” or “Viva Las Vegas”? Find out by watching “3000 Miles to Graceland,” a new comedy starring Kevin Costner, Kurt Russell, Christian Slater, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette. The movie opens in U.S. theaters on February 23.

Cats and Dogs
They may be cute and cuddly, but when you’re not at home, they’re secretly in a high-tech war to destroy each other. We’re talking, of course, about cats and dogs.

“Cats & Dogs” outlines a sinister plan hatched by cats to destroy a new vaccine developed by a research scientist (Jeff Goldblum). If developed, the vaccine would destroy all human allergies to dogs. The dogs sniff out the plan and try to scratch it before the cats can succeed.

In the creative spirit of the movie “Babe,” most of the characters are real animals enhanced by CGI special effects and animatronics by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. Animal voices include Alec Baldwin, Jon Lovitz, and Susan Sarandon.

“Cats & Dogs” opens in U.S. theaters on May 25, at the cusp of the summer blockbuster season.
