1. Quiz time
The trailer for “Lady in the Water” looks A) confusing B) puzzling or C) like “The Chronicles of Narnia” re-enacted in a swimming pool.

It’s fun to watch reruns of “Saved By the Bell” and realize that Jessie went on to star in “Showgirls,” and Slater landed on “America’s Most Talented Kid” and then “Nip/Tuck.”
3. C’mon, Hollywood …
I’ll admit I still haven’t seen “Superman Returns.” Part of me is holding out for “Snakes on a Superman.”

5. Score

6. Love hurts

8. Bombers away
Jamie Foxx says he’s planning something “special” for his hometown of Terrell, Texas. His hometown is desperately hoping it’s not a public screening of “Stealth.”
9. Not for you
Pharrell says he will start working on a new album for N.E.R.D. later this year. By the way, N.E.R.D. is his band, lest I confuse any “Battlestar Galactica” fans.
