'Cry Wolf' opens
Former hair-metal balladeer Jon Bon Jovi stars in "Cry Wolf," a new teen slasher flick that opens today -- and that's not even the scary part.
When a woman is found murdered near a private school campus, a group of trouble-making students spreads creepy rumors of an imagined serial killer they call "the Wolf."
Things get even scarier when the continued killings start to mirror the mythology the teen-agers have created. It co-stars a squad of attractive young people you've never seen before, save Jared Padalecki, a.k.a. Dean from TV's "Gilmore Girls."

Teen band hits the road
While most 17-year-olds are adjusting to returning to high school, the members of My American Heart, are getting ready to hit the road on their fourth national tour of the year and will be stopping in Cleveland on Sept. 26.
My American Heart, whose average age is just 17, released their debut album "The Meaning in Makeup" this week, has been on three national tours previous to this one, has over 2 million downloads on PureVolume and is considered my many critics to be the "breakout band of 2005."
They will also be featured in next month's Alternative Press magazine and have been hailed by producer Sal Villanueva (Thursday, Taking Back Sunday) as "one of the most promising young talents that I have come across."
