Space Station. The Please Touch Museum is inviting aspiring space travelers to a new exhibit, described as an out-of-this-world adventure. The area, which replaced the "Flying Machine" exhibit, offers various play experiences. The centerpiece is the shiny silver rocket that soars above young visitors. An 18-foot steel Ring Tower provides kids with targets as they attempt to shoot rockets through the rings. Youngsters can suit up like astronauts in front of a blue screen and pretend to walk in space or fly their own rocket ship through the solar system. At the Mission Control Board, astronauts-in-training can practice their flying skills, as each lever and button on the board produces a different space-age effect.

Lady Antebellum. In the three years since Lady Antebellum released its first single, "Love Don't Live Here," the hit-making country trio has enjoyed a smooth ride straight to the top of the charts. With two platinum-selling albums, a Grammy win, and five recent CMA award nominations, the group - led by powerhouse vocalists Charles Kelley (younger brother of pop singer Josh) and Hillary Scott (daughter of onetime country star Linda Davis) - recently launched its first headlining tour. Propelled by the success of its triple-platinum selling sophomore album, Need You Now, Lady Antebellum - which nabbed the Academy of Country Music's "Top New Group" award in '09 - is expected to pick up a slew of Grammy nominations in December.

Red **1/2 Bruce Willis takes innocent tag-along Mary-Louise Parker along for the ride in this slapstick action romp full of CIA huggermugger, lethal weaponry, and cool, glib dialogue. With Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Helen Mirren as Willis' old covert-ops colleagues. PG-13 (violence, mayhem, profanity, adult themes)
