1. Mo'Nique live: The newly minted Oscar winner and Baltimore County native is on the road performing her first love -- stand-up comedy. Her Spread the Love tour stops at D.C.'s DAR Constitution Hall at 8 p.m. Saturday. $39.50, $59.50. 1776 D St., N.W. dar.org. JORDAN BARTEL, B
2. NCAA men's basketball tournament: Get your brackets ready. The NCAA tourney starts at noon Thursday (no, the play-in game doesn't count), so most of America will be glued to the TV to see how they're doing in the office pool. If you're just a local college hoops fan, Maryland and Morgan State are both in (check out the full NCAA bracket starting on page 12.) WJZ-23 CBS. MATT VENSEL, B
3. 'Scrubs' season finale: I don't know what Bill Lawrence was thinking when he put the character Lucy on "Scrubs." She's a shoddy replacement for J.D. Regardless, I've been sucked into this post- Zach Braff season, and I will be watching the Season 9 finale at 8 p.m. Wednesday. AUBREY FORNWALT, B
4. Maki Madness: As a UNC-Chapel Hill alum, I'm going to focus my tourney attention on RA's annual sushi-eating contest. There'll be brackets, three rounds and a final four to determine sushi supremacy. Last year's champion consumed six uncut tootsy makis in less than three minutes to win free sushi for a year. Registration to enter is closed, but it's fun to watch. Noon-3:30 p.m. Sunday. 1390 Lancaster St., HarborEast. rasushi.com. JORDAN BARTEL, B
5. 'The Twilight Saga: New Moon' on DVD: The teen girl in all of us has been chomping at the bit to bring a little piece of Jacob and Edward home. Here's your chance, ladies -- and gentlemen (you know who you are). Pick up the DVD or Blu-ray on Saturday. TIM WONG, B
6. Photography by Joshua McKerrow: Check out a gallery of artwork by Joshua McKerrow upstairs at the Ottobar. Prepare yourself for some twisted visions -- in the best kind of way. He's a former colleague and friend, but don't hold that against him. The show is free and runs through March. 2549 N. Howard Street, Charles Village. ALISIA KRASTEL, B
7. 'God of War 3': The demo for this game was pretty epic, so I'm hoping the game can live up to my expectations. This is definitely proving to be a rough month for money-strapped gamers (last week's releases included "Final Fantasy XIII" and "Pokémon"). Embrace the power of the "Gods" from the convenience of your PS3 Tuesday. TIM WONG, B
8. '500 Clown Macbeth': Nobody really likes Shakespeare. Or clowns. But put them together and ... zounds! This violent, unpredictable, fourth-wall-breaking stage show could just be the funniest, freakiest thing you see all year. Creative Alliance, 3134 Eastern Ave., Highlandtown. 7:30 p.m. Thursday; 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 3 p.m. Sunday. Tickets $14-$23. creativealliance.org and 500clown.com. ADAM SAPIRO, B
9. Fabolous & DJ Drama, The Funeral Service: There Is No Competition 2: Here's our late pass for 2010's best mix tape -- so far. Fabolous once again teams up with DJ Drama for the sequel to their slept-on first tape. The free tape's 20 tracks prove Fab's punchlines are just plain better than 90 percent of his peers ("Smoke West Coast Kush in my boy Impala / Got me in the car, mellow f---in' with that lala"). There will probably be better mix tapes than this in 2010, but as of mid March, Fabolous has the streets on fire. livemixtap.es/tinc2. WESLEY CASE, B
10. 'The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine': Author Michael Lewis is now best known for "The Blind Side," but he's also a financial journalist. His latest looks at the people behind America's economic collapse. Out Tuesday. JORDAN BARTEL, B
