Pop to it

Don’t-miss pop culture things to see, hear and do this week in Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky

1. If you’ve recovered from St. Patrick’s Day, sample some of the more than 600 wines from 130 wineries at the Cincinnati International Wine Festival. 6:30 -9 p.m. Friday, $65; 2:30-4:30 p.m. Saturday, $50; 6:30-9 p.m. Saturday, $65. Cinergy Center, 525 Elm St., downtown. (513) 723-9463, www.winefestival.com.

2. Whether you buy the new Prince album, "3121," or download the single "Black Sweat" from Apple’s iTunes Music Store, you could score one of seven purple tickets to win a seat at a private performance at the Willy Wonka wannabe’s Minneapolis home later this year. In stores Tuesday.

3. It’s short on extra features, but the DVD set "Roseanne: The Complete Third Season" is chock-full of classic episodes (Roseanne explaining the facts of life to Darlene, Becky running away from home to move in with Jackie and D.J. turning weird). Soon-to-be-big stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire and Alyson Hannigan guest-star. In stores Tuesday.

4. One of the few bands that can say their name is a complete sentence, Austin-based I Love You But I’ve Chosen Darkness, plays the Southgate House Sunday with Bound Stems. Expect a set that’s a bit, well, bleak. 24 E. Third St., Newport. $7 in advance, $9 day of show, 18 and older. (800) 594-8499, www.southgatehouse.com.

5. What do you get when you combine "Desperate Housewives," "The O.C." and "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County"? The creatively titled "The Real Housewives of Orange County," a new one-hour "docu-series" following five wealthy wives, premieres at 10 p.m. Tuesday on Bravo.

6. If all bank robbers looked like Clive Owen and all cops looked like Denzel Washington (left), plenty of people probably wouldn’t mind being held hostage while the two talked things over. "Inside Man," Spike Lee’s film about just that situation - which also stars Jodie Foster - opens Friday.
