Five must-do ideas to help you make the most of you weekend.
Monday marks the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Share your memories.

Step out in style Saturday night at the Strand-Capitol.

Want drama? York Colleges stages "A Raisin in the Sun," York Little Theatre stages "Beauty and the Beast" and Eichelberger Performing Arts Center stages "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown."

Taste Puerto Rican cuisine at Mi Caldero.

Bowl your brains out at a local Junior Achievement fundraiser.

More than a year after pictures surfaced of her bruised face, pop star Rihanna is talking about the confrontation with her then boyfriend Chris Brown. She opened up earlier this week on "Good Morning America" and a full interview airs tonight on "20/20." Watch a clip below. It's a personal and emotional topic, but Rihanna shows her strength to tell others that there's no excuses for domestic abuse. Her message: Don't be ashamed.

You'd expect nothing less than an unforgettable comedy from Focus Features and Richard Curtis ("Four Weddings and a Funeral"). Based on actual events, "Pirate Radio" follows seafaring deejays who capture airwaves, defy the government and captivate listeners in 1960s Britain. This looks like the coolest music movie since "Almost Famous." Critics are already raving.

The stellar ensemble cast includes Bill Nighy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rhys Ifans and many other rising stars. The soundtrack has enough clout to be its own character. Expect tunes from The Kinks, The Who, Cream, Jimi Hendrix, etc. The movie rocks into theaters Nov. 13.
