Five favorites

Things in pop culture that might make your life a little bit better

1 "Capote," a movie documenting Truman Capote's research for his book "In Cold Blood," is released on DVD today. Philip Seymour Hoffman earned a Best Actor Oscar for his realistic portrayal of Capote. Go check it out and see if Hoffman is worthy of the award.

2 If you haven't tuned in to cycle six of America's Next Top Model, which premiered March 8, go to www.upn.com and meet this season's contestants. Then watch the reality show at 8 p.m. on Wednesday to entertain yourself with these aspiring models' outrageous behavior.

3 In honor of the first official week of spring, take off those sweat pants and tap into one of spring's biggest trends — '80s style leggings. Forever 21 has them in bright colors as well as black and white polka dots and stripes. Wear with a long tunic-style top or under a skirt.

4 Pick up Prince's latest album, 3121, which is in stores today. Then blast it at your weekend party — it is sure to be a hit (just don't get a noise violation in the process).

5 Shave your head. If Natalie Portman can do it, why can't the rest of us? According to Portman, it's a very liberating move.
