Welcome back to my weekly roundup of all the Most Important Things On The Internet! Because if you only read one blog post this week, it should be this one!
1.) All you disenfranchised 18- to 24-year-old late night talk show viewers rejoice! Conan O'Brien is back on TV as of last night, and he was HIGH-larious! And he even had "Glee"'s Lea Michele on! Check out the show's opening bit where Coco recaps his sort of downer summer vacation. (Team Coco)
2.) Now for your weekly WTF: Susan Boyle has a new music video for her cover of legendary experimental rocker Lou Reed's "Perfect Day," and it was directed by...legendary experimental rocker Lou Reed? That can't be right. (PopEater)
3.) In yet another incredible melding of high and low culture, "Mad Men"'s Don Draper -- played by the actor who shall henceforth be known as Jon Hammsome (Jon, if you're reading this, CALL ME!) -- appears as a guest vocalist on the mildly NSFW meme-of-yesteryear "What What (In The Butt)." (Urlesque)
4.) Halloween is over, you guys, so that means every store in America already has their Christmas inventory to the front window. Therefore, may I present you this half-creepy, half-awesome U.K. ad featuring the O.G. of Christmas music Bing Crosby beatboxing. (Adweek)
5.) How are hit singles made? Well, when a mommy hit single loves a daddy hit single...no, wait, that's not it. Let's ask Grammy-winning producer Brian Kennedy, who has worked with Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson and Chris Brown where his inspiration comes from... (Idolator)
6.) How did Lil Wayne celebrate his first few days as a free man? By taking off his shirt, of course. MTV News has a great gallery of Lil Wayne's first days out of prison.
7.) Speaking of partial nudity, Eva Longoria hosted the 2010 MTV EMA in Madrid, Spain, this weekend. Maybe you'd heard something about that. Anyway, what we learned at the show was that Eva Longoria really wants everyone to see her thighs. Buzzworthy proves that Eva Longoria ? pants.
8.) Here are the three most important things to know about the New York Times Courtney Love profile: Courtney is currently reading the book Talking the Winner’s Way; Courtney does not wear Jill Stuart; and there is such a thing as "wake-up cupcakes." (!!!) (NYMag/NY Times)
9.) Katy Perry and Russell Brand sure have some big, honking wedding rings. (The Huffington Post)
10.) BRITNEY IS RECORDING NEW MUSIC. I repeat, BRITNEY SPEARS IS RECORDING NEW MUSIC. (Buzzworthy)
