Fashionista & Glamour Girl

10. WEB: Fashionista & Glamour Girl
Joan Rivers delivers her signature sass in this new hi-fashion and hi-larious animated series that dares to boldly go where no superhero has gone before - the red carpet. Crotchety seamstress Roxanne Bischoff (Rivers) provides alterations and a steady stream of blunt opinions in the back of the Tyler Department Store by day, but when crimes against fashion threaten good taste she transforms into the fabulous superhero Fashionista. She and her trusty sidekick, Glamour Girl (voiced by Christina Milian), form a trendsetting dynamic duo on a mission to make the world a better place by saving one fashion victim at a time. Catch a sneak peek below and head over to the series' website for more glamour, glitter, fashion, and fame. - Jase Peeples

Tori Amos

9. MUSIC: Unrepentant Geraldines, Tori Amos
After a series of more esoteric, experimental albums, Tori Amos returns to her piano-based roots with her 14th studio album, Unrepentant Geraldines. The legendary singer-songwriter gets personal and inspirational on her new record, which is already garnering rave reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone, which called it "an appreciative portrayal of the singer's experiences with visual art." The album drops Tuesday, just two months before her worldwide tour embarks on its North American leg, starting at Vancouver, Canada's Orpheum Theater July 16, then trekking across the U.S. to a final performance in Miami August 24. Those who pre-order the album here will also gain access to an exclusive pre-sale for tickets to her U.S. shows. -- Sunnivie Brydum

Truth - Sean Paul Lockhart

7. DVD: Truth
Truth, a psychological thriller starring former porn star Sean Paul Lockhart (a.k.a. Brent Corrigan), is now available on DVD. The plot follows Caleb (Lockhart) as he pursues a romance with Jeremy (Rob Moretti), whom he met online.

A troubled past and a mentally ill mother are among the dark secrets he tries to conceal from his new lover, who finds himself tangled in Caleb's web of lies. Steamy and suspenseful, Truth is a cautionary tale of romance in the digital age that also features a stellar performance from Emmy-winner Blanche Baker, of Sixteen Candles fame.

Rosemary's baby

6. TV: Rosemary's Baby
In NBC's two-part reimagining of Rosemary's Baby, you will note the freaky lengths Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse go to in order to live a better life in Paris. They soon realize, however, that their growing child is not exactly the bouncing baby that the stork brought. Zoe Saldana reprises one of Mia Farrow's most iconic roles, with Patrick J. Adams of Suits playing her husband. No matter what you think about NBC's sudden urge to remake old movies for television, this will be worth watching for any number of reasons - whether you'll find it enjoyable or decide it's a perfect basis for a drinking game. - Michelle Garcia
