Annie Lennox is recovering after successful spinal surgery to repair an impinged nerve that left her foot cold and numb. The injury was sustained in Mexico while attending this month’s International AIDS Conference. Since she needs time to recuperate, her new album’s release has been pushed back from September 16th to next spring so she’ll be able to promote it properly.

Lennox wrote on her official blog, “I came back to the U.K. and got wheeled off the plane ... A first I must say! Felt a bit like Elizabeth Taylor! Some of my plans and schemes have had to be put on hold, because there's not much I can do if I can't walk properly!!!”

If she felt like Liz Taylor does that mean she was doped up, a little drunk, dripping with diamonds and being escorted by Michael Jackson? We hope not.

Glad to know you’re on the mend, Annie.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
