Good news for fans of Ben Mollin, that fabulously punk hair stylist from Bravo's salon industry reality show "Shear Genius." The folks over at Clandestine Industries, the Lakeview flagship store for Fall Out Boy Pete Wenz's clothing line, just told us Mollin will be manning a new one-chair salon in the back of the store starting in April.

If you've ever seen differing price tiers at other salons for regular staff and master stylists, then that's kind of how it'll work here: Patrons can shell out about $40 for a punk-rock haircut from a non-celebrity stylist or pay a premium for a consult, cut and color with Mollin himself. Though Clandestine hasn't released an official menu of salon services or prices yet, it's started taking appointments. Click here for phone number, maps and more details.

You heard right: As of today, tickets for shows at Metro and Smart Bar are only available at the box office and on the venues' web sites, not at Ticketmaster. What does this mean for you? It means no added fees when you buy at the box office, and potentially lower service charges when you buy online. (The fees vary by show.)

According to Metro publicist Jenny Lizak, the change is simply a response to customer feedback and the club's determination that Metro and Smart Bar didn't need Ticketmaster.

A little more conflict -- actually, any conflict -- in the story would help, but for 90 minutes of lightweight, stress-free theater, you could do a heck of a lot worse than "Altar Boyz," a fun little satire of boy bands and religious posturing that fits snugly into the Drury Lane Theatre.

The story, if you can call it that, focuses around a pop quintet's final show and their attempt to use God-loving songs to save the souls in the seats. The approximately two-thirds-full crowd at the 2 p.m. Sunday show wasn't terribly eager to clap along -- half of the audience looked like the last boy band they followed was the Monkees -- but a uniformly strong cast didn't let that stop them from delivering silly songs like "Church Rulez" as if they were playing to an arena packed with screaming 12-year-old girls.

The music industry, thankfully, has moved on from the boy band craze, but the show still feels relevant, at least in its send-up of the business' fickle, financially obligated priorities, and in its wink-wink acknowledgement of the hypocrisy of supposedly spontaneous on-stage preaching that actually feels as unrehearsed as an infomercial. The number in which the guys incorporated Lamb Chop-style hand puppets is, um, not quite as fresh.

But forget the serious stuff. "Altar Boyz" is just an opportunity to laugh at Adam Zelasko's faux-Spanish accent as Juan, bad boy Luke's (Tyler McGee) use of "exhaustion" as a euphemism for "alcoholism" and the dynamite singing voices of all five cast members, particularly Brian Crum as secretly/blatantly gay Mark. It's cheeky, funny and aware of its own inherent goofiness, which is a lot more than can be said for most real boy bands.

The ability to teleport certainly would be helpful during the dog dogs of winter (not to mention the never-ending CTA woes), and audiences showed their interest in globe-hopping over the weekend by vaulting the lame Hayden Christensen sci-fi flick "Jumper" to the top of the box office with $27.2 million.

Proving that people will never get sick of the same ol' dancing movies, "Step Up 2 the Streets" racked up $19.7 million to place second, with the surprisingly trippy family film "The Spiderwick Chronicles" close behind with $19.1 million. The weekend's best movie, the pleasant romantic comedy "Definitely, Maybe," only made $9.7 million and placed fifth.

Are people actually less interested in romantic comedies on Valentine's Day weekend? And why does Hayden Christensen always look so bored?

Monday was the 10th anniversary of Harry Caray’s death. On Friday, single game tickets go on sale for the Cubs' 2008 season. And this spring, Harry Caray's Tavern will open in the former Hi-Tops space.

Here are just a few things to get you excited: a 60-foot-6-inch bar (the distance from the pitcher's mound to home plate), a Holy Cow! Burger Bar, patio seating and a second-floor Skybox with views of Wrigley Field.
