FIRST LOOK

(MIDDLE-AGED) GIRLS GONE WILD

Finally, a movie for all the squares who wish they had cut loose when they were in college. In Spring Breakdown, PARKER POSEY, AMY POEHLER and RACHEL DRATCH play straitlaced thirtysomethings who whoop it up with the popular crowd when they're supposed to be chaperoning a conservative Senator's daughter. "It's Revenge of the Nerds meets Nine to Five," Poehler says of the film, which fellow Saturday Night Live star Dratch produced and co-wrote. In the name of research, the cast did a lot of late-night partying, which doesn't do much for your adulthood cred. "My life is delayed adolescence as it is," says Poehler. "This movie did not help me with that."

DANCE FLOOR TOUCHDOWN

Even in satin shirts and sparkly shoes, EMMITT SMITH somehow managed to look manly during his stint on Dancing with the Stars. It helped that the three-time Super Bowl champ didn't just waltz through the competition. He shimmied, funky-chickened and Hammer-timed his way to the trophy. All the same, sports fan Jimmy Kimmel felt compelled to ask Smith whether this was "the gayest thing" he had ever done. The all-time NFL rushing leader fired back: "It's only gay for guys who think they can be gay by doing it." (Translation--we think: I'm comfortable with my manhood, so I'm comfortable with my shirt.) Smith urged others to get out of their safety zone and try something new. But maybe not for too long. We notice he's not listed among the Stars contestants who will tour the country.

BONO WINS SUIT AND HAT

Remember in the early '80s when BONO suffered from a severe mullet? A stylist improved his look for the Joshua Tree tour in 1987 but made off with his Stetson. U2 learned the ex-staffer had his hat and other garb when she tried to auction them at Christie's in 2002. The band won a protracted lawsuit last week after Bono testified that the stylist's apartment might be an "Aladdin's cave" of stolen U2 memorabilia. Guess that means the band still hasn't found what it's looking for.
