Sandra Bullock gives a homeless teen a new life in the true story The Blind Side, in theaters Friday.

On Sunday, Jennifer Lopez will debut her new single "Louboutins" at the American Music Awards, airing on ABC at 8 p.m. Janet Jackson opens the annual music fete with an eight-minute medley of hits.
