ARCHITECTURE

Rome: The Colosseum will reopen to the public now that renovations have finished. The underground pathways and chambers are now open after extensive construction to make sure they could withstand thousands of visitors daily. Tourists can now see what happened behind the scenes during Rome's golden age, from where the human and animal props stayed took to the stage to where their remains were brought after their performances.

FILM

Clint Eastwood released a new film called "Hereafter" starring Matt Damon. The film follows George (Damon) who can communicate with the dead to help others who have lost loved ones. The film has been called a "classic Eastwood" but also a "startling departure from his previous work."

THEATER

"Wicked" has finished its tour in Boston. This global sensation will stop next in Tennessee as well as NYC, continuing its regular run on Broadway.

MUSIC

Adam Lambert has performed in Malaysia, despite many protests from the local population. There were Islamic protestors outside the concert who held up signs that said, "Muslim students protest gay icon in our country." Lambert was told by the government that he would not be allowed to take any clothes off, jump or kiss anyone during the concert. Despite the prejudice shown against him, he told his audience that all he promotes is "love."
