The Tamaris show starts at 6 p.m. Saturday in the open air at Queen's Surf Beach. Sunday's screening begins at sundown. The PG-13 film is about a naive young woman who scores a job as the assistant to one of New York's biggest magazine editors, the ruthless and cynical Miranda Priestly. It stars Meryl Streep and Anne Hathaway.

Bracelet makes faith trendy
With so much uncertainty in the cosmos related to issues of war, violence, economics and natural catastrophe, Marylea Conrad started wearing a wooden bracelet daily as a symbol of her faith, which she compares to wearing a crucifix.
It's turned out to be a fashion statement, as those who have seen it have been asking her where to find it.
The enterprising designer is offering the wooden stretch Faith bracelets at $6 each. Inquire at marylea@meliaconrad.com or call 561-5691.

Suit tags Dog 'abusive, violent and outrageous'
NEW YORK » An actor who says he created the Honolulu-based show "Dog the Bounty Hunter" reality TV program has sued the show's producers for at least $5 million in royalties, salary and other compensation.
Boris Krutonog of Los Angeles says the A&E Television Networks and others failed to pay him for the fourth season of the show as its creator and co-executive producer. Filming for the fifth season recently began.
Krutonog also complains that he was the target of "abusive, violent and outrageous conduct" and "episodes of psychotic behavior by" the show's stars, Duane "Dog" Chapman and his wife, Beth, according to papers filed this week in Manhattan's state Supreme Court.
An A&E network spokesman said he could not comment on pending litigation.
