What makes a great beach read? Romance, escape, and high odds for a happy ending - plus enough suspense to keep those pages breezily turning. Share your thoughts on the novels we'll be losing ourselves in this Memorial Day - and let us know what you're reading. Julie Dam, Assistant Managing Editor Her Pick: Pastors' Wives by Lisa Takeuchi Cullen I have two little kids so my reading list is usually in the Maisy and Pinkalicious vein. But this holiday weekend I'm digging into Pastors' Wives, a lively, funny novel set at a Southern evangelical megachurch. Even for non-religious readers...

Hitting movie theaters this weekend:
The Adjustment Bureau – Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Lisa Thoreson
Beastly – Alex Pettyfer, Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen
Rango – (voices of) Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Timothy Olyphant
Take Me Home Tonight – Topher Grace, Anna Faris, Dan Fogler
Movie of the Week
Rango
The Stars: Johnny Depp, Isla Fisher, Timothy Olyphant
The Plot: A chameleon that aspires to be a swashbuckling hero (Depp) finds himself in a Western town plagued by bandits and is forced to literally play the role in order to protect it.
The Buzz: Director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Carribean Trilogy, The Ring) takes a swash at his first animated feature. I thought the trailer for this film was excellent — Rango looks to be visually stunning, narratively engaging, and comically amusing. Verbinski’s adventure-film stripes are well earned — he knows his way around the genre — and this looks to be a strong addition to his filmography.

New York — Maino has followed his dreams, tasting fame and accolades, helping influence the culture. He has a platinum single, a gaggle of street bangers, fans across the world. While he has been able to enjoy his success at points, he's also had to persevere through tragedies.
In the past year, two of his friends — one of them his very best friend and business partner — were shot and paralyzed. Recently, his closest cousin committed suicide. Still, Maino has refused to let pain and grief take over his life.
The Brooklyn native has two projects coming in 2010: an Ep next week and his second full-length album this summer.
"Everything is digital," he said Tuesday (January 26), visiting the MTV News offices. "You got the freedom to take four to five songs,...
