An Aardman Production For Sony Pictures Animation Martin Freeman, David Tennant, Imelda Staunton, Jeremy Piven, Salma Hayek, Brian Blessed, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen Also On Board

Culver City, Calif. – Hugh Grant will voice the lead role alongside an all-star cast in The Pirates! Band Of Misfits, the new stop-motion, 3D, animated film produced by Aardman Animations for Sony Pictures Animation. The film, which will be distributed by Columbia Pictures, will be released March 30, 2012 in North America.

Hugh Grant, starring in his first animated role, is the luxuriantly bearded Pirate Captain – a boundlessly enthusiastic, if somewhat less-than-successful, terror of the High Seas. With a rag-tag crew at his side (Martin Freeman, Brendan Gleeson, Russell Tovey, and Ashley Jensen), and seemingly blind to the impossible odds stacked against him, the Captain has one dream: to beat his bitter rivals Black Bellamy (Jeremy Piven) and Cutlass Liz (Salma Hayek) to...

Last week, Justin Bieber officially announced that the newest single from My World 2.0 would be "U Smile," a smooth track with a retro Motown vibe. It's a sweet, straightforward song about devotion to his lady love, and it contains the line "When you smile, I smile" in the chorus. Like most of the other songs he has released to radio, "U Smile" is already gaining airplay and should make its way up the Billboard Hot 100 immanently.

"U Smile" will put Bieber on another list: People with songs about smiles. It's amazing that so many great artists have written songs about such a simple muscle twitch, but then again a smile can be enigmatic and disarming. Check out the top tracks devoted to grins of all kings.

Semisonic, "Secret Smile"

Semisonic had a tough time breaking the second single from their sophomore album Feeling Strangely Fine after the huge success of "Closing Time.

The term "One-Hit Wonder" can often be tossed around derisively, used to dismiss artists who make it big with a single song but can't keep up their momentum for a second. Sometimes those groups are actual one-trick ponies, but sometimes the chemistry of pop stardom is so complicated that no matter how hard the band tries or how good they are, lightning just refuses to strike twice. Such was the case with Semisonic, who released their breakthrough album Feeling Strangely Fine on this day in 1998.

Back in '98, the Minneapolis trio was riding high on the success of their massive hit "Closing Time," a lovely little piano-inflected rock song about the wee hours of the morning (though frontman and songwriter Dan Wilson admitted that the track was actually written from the perspective of his baby inside the womb) that ruled the Billboard Modern Rock chart for the majority of the spring.
