One of Phil Spector's leading ladies is coming to serenade Fort Lauderdale. Darlene Love will perform at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Parker Playhouse.

Love was a backing vocalist for many familiar 1960s songs, including the Ronettes' "Be My Baby" and the Crystals' "Da Doo Ron Ron." Her breakout performance, "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," came on the 1963 holiday compilation album, "A Christmas Gift for You from Phil Spector," but you may recognize her as Danny Glover's wife in the "Lethal Weapon" film series.

Tickets range from $33.92 to $57.50.

Get excited! The Pointer Sisters will also be singing their hits Saturday night just down the road in Coconut Creek.

The Pointer Sisters (minus June Pointer, who died in 2006) will be doing the "Neutron Dance" at The Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek at 8 p.m.

Tickets are still available for purchase.

Movies

Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Pena and retired U.S. Marine Rob Riggle star in "12 Strong: The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers." This war film is based on Doug Stanton's nonfiction book, "Horse Soldiers," which tells the story of CIA paramilitary officers and U.S. Special Forces sent to Afghanistan in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Gerard Butler and rapper 50 Cent help make up the cast of "Den of Thieves," a crime caper set on the streets of Los Angeles. Butler stars as a corrupt cop who is determined to foil a plot to rob the Federal Reserve Bank in downtown LA.

The Miami Heat will hit the road this weekend against the Brooklyn Nets and Charlotte Hornets, but if you're looking to stay close to home to watch your favorite South Florida sports teams, look no farther than the BB&T Center in Sunrise.
