''FRIDAY I'LL BE OVER U,'' Allison Iraheta

The booted-too-soon season 8 American Idol contestant is already earning comparisons to Kelly Clarkson for her slamming new single (with an ample sample of the Go-Gos' infectious joy). From the first shouts of ''Oh, yeah!'' it's clear Iraheta's brand of girl-power rock is fun, upbeat, and instantly addictive. She's psyched. We're sold.

THE STEPFATHER on DVD

What remake? Sure, Dylan Walsh creeps out his stepson (Penn Badgley) in the new version, but he has mighty big shoes to fill: In the 1987 original, now making its debut on disc, Lost's Terry O'Quinn is terrifying as an intensely focused and meticulously secretive psycho who would — and does — kill to be the head of a picture-perfect family.

SOUTH PARK MEGA MILLIONAIRE app for iPhone

No joystick required as you bounce and roll Cartman and crew through challenging rounds of a fictional (and completely silly) Japanese game show. Wanna kill Kenny yourself? There's an app for that.

THE COLLECTED STORIES OF LYDIA DAVIS

The pieces in this new collection from the former National Book Award finalist are often short (some no more than a page), witty (''The Race of the Patient Motorcyclists''), and offbeat (a first date marred by flatulence, possibly a dog's).

This lovely edition boasts the complete original text and illustrations that are also a delight for the eyes.
