* Actual "professional singer" Alaina Alexander -- remember her??? -- realizes 4 weeks too late that Katharine McPhee, Antonella Barba, and Haley Scarnato may be on to something with this whole "rock your body, distract from your vocals" thing. [TMZ]

* American Idol rethinks that whole "songs of the 90's" theme, takes my sister's advice on "sing whatever the hell you want" theme; Gwen Stefani scared shit-is-bananas-less that Sanjaya will sing "Just A Girl". [Defamer, Idolator]

* At the YouTube Video Awards -- and I am not making that up -- OK Go's "Here It Goes Again" wins the award for "Most Creative". Sadly, it did not win the award for "they so totes ripped off that 'treadmill' thing from that Jamiroquai video from like ten years ago". [MollyGood]



* New Fall Out Boy video for "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" sets record for combined number of product placements and monkeys. [Stereogum]



[anyone recognize the "love interest"? it sorta looks like Kim Kardashian -- Ed.]
