Tuesday Drop: Shelves Stocked With Spears, Harry Potter

Published: December 2, 2008
TAMPA - It's a big Tuesday when you can say you'll find a new Britney Spears CD and a new Harry Potter book (sort of) on the shelves. For good measure, we'll throw in a Will Ferrell movie.
CDs
"Circus," Britney Spears: The title seems appropriate when you consider the tumultuous year (make that 18 months) the pop princess has had. Give the girl a break and listen to it before you commence with the criticism.
"Freedom." Akon: For his third album, the R&B star decided to "change the sound up a lot." T-Pin, Lil Wayne and Young Jeezy also appear.
"Sugar Mountain: Live at Canterbury House 1968," Neil Young: A great singer-songwriter going solo and acoustic. Gotta love that.
Books
"The Tales of Beedle the Bard," J.K. Rowling: A collection of fairy tales by Rowling that Muggles became aware of in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows." This edition, which includes commentary by Albus Dumbledore, features illustrations by Rowling.
"Scarpetta," Patricia Cornwell: Fans of Cornwell's crime novels can gird their stomachs for another suspenseful turn with medical examiner Kay Scarpetta.
"Body With Soul: Steady Your Sugar, Cut Your Cholesterol and Get a Jump on Your Best Health," Randy Jackson: The top dawg from "American Idol" mixes memoir, wellness program and inspirational advice in this book in which he details how to take control of your health.
DVDs
"The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian": The second big-screen installment of C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia" was less well-received than its predecessor, but it's still a favorite with tweens.
"The X-Files: I Want To Believe": Six years after the sci-fi television series left the air, creator Chris Carter and stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson return for a second theatrical go-round. Billed as a stand-alone story, this film was a dud at the box office.
"Step Brothers": Will Ferrell teams with John C. Reilly in this tale about two men who are forced to share a bedroom when their parents marry.
"Wanted": A meek cuckold (James McAvoy) discovers that – like his long lost father before him – he's part of a secret brotherhood of assassins called the Fraternity.
"Fly Me to the Moon": Animated tale about some flies that tag along on the Apollo 11 moon landing.
