Best Bets: Hugh Grant's first animated movie and Jack White's first solo album

(CBS News) Get ready to see British actor Hugh Grant, best known for his roles in screwball comedies, take on his first animated movie role as a less-than-fearsome pirate in "The Pirates! Band of Misfits."

Directed by Peter Lord, the movie, which opens Friday, follows Grant and his ragtag crew as they try to defeat two bitter rivals for the Pirate of the Year award. The movie also stars Brendan Gleeson, Imelda Staunton and Jeremy Piven.

Also opening this week - a relatively quiet one in the entertainment industry - is the much-publicized rom-com "The Five-Year Engagement," starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, as a nearly wedded pair who find myriad stumbling blocks on their way to the altar. The comedy is directed by Nick Stoller and produced by Judd Apatow of "Knocked Up" and "'The 40-Year-Old Virgin" fame and Rodney Rothman, who produced "Get Him to the Greek."

Among the movies coming to DVD on Tuesday is Mark Wahlberg's thriller "Contraband."

Music lovers can look forward to the first solo album of musician Jack White of the White Stripes, the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather. It's called "Blunderbuss" and it debuts Tuesday. Named one of Rolling Stone's 100 best guitarists of all time, White has worked with such artists as Beck, The Rolling Stones, Jeff Beck, Alicia Keys, Bob Dylan, and Loretta Lynn.

Several best-selling novelists have new books out on Tuesday, as do domestic diva Martha Stewart and biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli. Stewart's "Martha's American Food" is being published by Clarkson Potter, and Taraborrelli's "After Camelot: A Personal History of the Kennedy Family -- 1968 to the Present" is being published by Grand Central.

New novels are expected from David Baldacci ("Innocent"), and Stuart Woods ("Unnatural Acts").

Also coming out with a new book is actress Julie Andrews and her daughter Emma Walton Hamilton. The children's book "The Very Fairy Princess: Here Comes the Flower Girl!" is part of their "Very Fairy Princess" series.

It's a fitting week for a princess book to make its debut because Sunday marks the one-year wedding anniversary of Prince William and Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge. Look for several TV specials on the young royals as well as a re-airing of the royal wedding footage.
