+ Looks like Brandy is making her way back to sitcom land with a new show on ABC called This Little Piggy. We've been racking our brains trying to figure out how the title of the show relates to the storyline, but all we keep picturing in our head is Christina Ricci in Penelope. Is that bad? (SingersRoom)
+ Ok. This has absolutely nothing to do with anything, but let's be honest. We can't pass up a brand-new, ree-DIC-ulously H-O-T picture of David Beckham. "I can't DO it Captain. I don't have the POWER!" (PopBytes)
+ Rihanna's May 28th concert in Dubai will be her first performance since she accidentally ran into Chris Brown's fist. Do you think she can headline her own concert for 25,000 people? (E! Online)
+ While Britney's out on tour desperately trying to make money so her cash-hogging daddy can spend it all keeping her locked down, strange women dressed in camo are sneaking around her property and getting arrested. Wait for the mugshot -- it's soooooooo worth it. (Pop On The Pop)
+ On a side note, maybe if Britney wasn't worried about crazy women sneaking around her property, she could have made a more focused effort to beat Ashton Kutcher and CNN to 1 million followers on Twitter. It's okay Brit -- you'll always have Sacramento -- we mean San Jose! (CNN)
+ And speaking of all this Twitter bizniss, FINALLY! The JoBros are FINALLY getting the hang of updating their Twitter account. (Buzzworthy -- that's us!)
+ Hmm... is this Beyonce's way to fill up an arena, or is she just a sellout? (NME)

As promised, Ashanti made her triumphant return to MTV today with a stop on TRL. Oh, and the backstage report, by the way: Ashanti rolled up into the studio -- with Momanger Tina, natch, and no sign of Nelly -- in some totally "they're just like us" comfy sweats and Uggs, and then turned it out like a full-on fashionista in some smart plaid pants and two-tone up-do. After the show, she spotted tiny Christina Ricci and gave her some famous-people props. Cute!

Today is very special, not just because it's the first official day AFTER the 80th Annual Academy Awards (AKA Hangover Day in Hollywood). And by the way, when will they invite back Adrian Brody so he can make out with more people? Anyway, today is the first day of Spankin' New Ladies Week on TRL. And for those of you unfamiliar with Spankin' New, it has nothing to do with light bondage, you pre-vert.
Spankin' New Ladies Week on TRL is a non-stop revolving door of lady talent (and a few choice dudes too) and their new videos, appearances and live performances. Check out the immensity of the guest list:

A cover of a recent issue of Esquire asked "When the hell did Christina Ricci become so sexy?" Uh, she's always been sexy to us. But she's definitely been getting hotter for sure. And since she turned out a disturbingly seductive/destructive performance in Black Snake Moan, mainstream brands are noticing. Last night she attended the launch party of the Samsonite Black Label Fashionaire Collection at the Gramercy Park Hotel in New York. She's the "ambassador" for the line, whatever that means. But who cares, she looked classic and still a little trashy...just the way we like her. Oh you pretty dirty thing...
