Mamma Mia!

What's the story?

Swedish songsters ABBA inspire a musical feast that's both sweet and surprisingly spicy. Sophie Sheridan is about to be married to her true love, Sky, but has no father to give her away. What's a bride to do but go poking through Mom's past for answers? In the pages of an old diary she finds a shocking secret: any of three men could be her father. She sends a letter to each one, hoping to discover who has the right to escort her down the aisle... and throwing a big fat Greek monkey wrench into Mom's life.

Three Good Reasons

• 1 The legendary, luminous Meryl Streep scores points for 50+ women everywhere by stealing the show from her equally gorgeous onscreen daughter (Amanda Seyfried of Mean Girls).


• 2 Fans of the stage show may have thought there was no way to improve on it, but the Greek scenery (including Pelion and Skopelos) provides a breathtaking backdrop for the tale.


• 3 This is the type of musical where you go into the theater humming the songs. So grab your friends and go prove to the world that disco never died.

Bet You Didn't Know

The region of Mt. Pelion, where parts of this movie were filmed, has also been graced by another legendary wedding. Tradition names it as the site of the marriage of Thetis and Peleus, parents of the mythical hero Achilles.

Sex symbol Jessica Alba quitely weds long-time beau

"Fantastic Four" star Jessica Alba has quietly wed long-time boyfriend and producer Cash Warren in a private ceremony, media reported Thursday.

The 27-year-old actress, who is pregnant with Warren's child, exchanged vows at the Beverly Hills Courthouse Monday, her publicist Brad Cafarelli confirmed to People, but giving no further details.

Alba and Warren, 31, met on the set of the "Fantastic Four" in 2004. The couple announced their engagement shortly after Abla confirmed her pregnancy in December last year.

Her wedding was such a quiet affair that even her brother, Josh Alba, was apparently kept from it.

When reached by Us Weekly magazine with the news, he responded: "My sister!? I'm going to have to call her!"

When asked if Warren suited his sister, Alba said: "Well, he's my brother-in-law now!"

The sex symbol shot to fame as an action star on TV's "Dark Angel," then in films including "Fantastic Four" and "Sin City."

Alba charts high in men's magazines' lists of the "sexiest" women in the world. She was No. 1 to FHM readers last year, and dropped to No. 3 this year.
