Hot people, hot fashions, and one really hot concert.

What’s Happening with Zooey Deschanel? The alternative darling—who rose to fame in Almost Famous—stars in M. Night Shyamalan’s new summer creep-fest and has just made her first record. Visibly shy, frightened of stages, she’s nonetheless hopping on the roller coaster.

A pill-pushing shrink meets a dope-dealing teen in The Wackness—a new take on the coming-of-age genre. Meanwhile, the horror film Baghead is just another fumble from the “Mumblecore” movement.
