+ We knew something great was going to come from the Jason Segel-penned The Greatest Muppets Movie Ever Made. Apparently, a major plotline of the in upcoming film involves Miss Piggy becoming a "Lady Gaga-esque character living in Europe." I feel a musical number coming on—and a potential collaboration?!

+ Speaking of Gaga, the Lady fancies herself something of a role model. At yesterday's "An Electric Audience" panel sponsored by MAC Cosmetics, Gaga said, "I know that may sound strange to some people, but most important is my connection with my fans and the connection that they breed with one another," said Gaga to a gathering of reporters at a charity event in London.

+ Already hard at work on her new dance-friendly album, Rihanna has enlisted the skills of talented songwriter Sean Garrett to help out with her follow-up to Rated R.

That was rather nice of him! (Rap-Up)
+ Chris Brown recently made the possibly unwise public move of comparing his recent problems to that of Tiger Woods. This has, somewhat predictably, really annoyed some people. (Buzznet)
+ Congratulations to The-Dream and his wife, Christina Milian, who gave birth to their first child together. Looks like the musical power-couple created the biggest hit of all—a baby girl named Violet. (E! Online)
