With products and football players awash in pink and pink ribbons, you've probably noticed that it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

"Five" (9 tonight, Lifetime) aims to raise awareness of the disease by focusing on the emotional issues surrounding the diagnosis, through five different stories, three directed by star names -- Jennifer Aniston, Alicia Keys and Demi Moore. The other two were handled by two women more experienced in the craft, Patty Jenkins ("Monster") and Penelope Spheeris ("Wayne's World").

The result is a well-intentioned, but uneven mix of tales, none with great moments of insight, but some with moments of grace and humor.

Most of us didn't make it to the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, so TV One is once again offering a taste of the event with "TV One Night Only: Live From the Essence Music Festival 2010" at 9 tonight.

It's just a sampling of the talent assembled but you'll get to see performances by Jill Scott, Charlie Wilson, Gladys Knight, Monica, Keri Hilson, LL Cool J, Earth, Wind & Fire (who, with some controversy, took perennial closing act Frankie Beverly & Maze's spot), Raphael Saadiq, Alicia Keys, Trey Songz, Janet Jackson and Mary J. Blige.

I’ll never understand why the result show needs to take up an hour because the part everyone wants to watch only takes about two minutes.
Maybe they just like to make me listen to music that I normally would not.

The show opens with a few cast-members of “The Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian” to tell us how the American Idol desk is on its way to the Smithsonian Museum. I am super pumped about the release of this movie so I do not mind that they are in the way of me finding out the results.
