+ Forget about Skipper or Teenage Prom Maxi. Who needs those shallow plastics when you can have your very own PLUS-size Beth Ditto doll complete with Victoria Principal bob and blue eyeshadow?! (The Frisky)

+ Lady GaGa's "Lovegame" video has been out for a while, but here's some pretty cool behind-the-scenes footage from the set. (Towleroad)

+ Yesterday, it was the girl from the "Thriller" video claiming she's owed royalties. Today, it's his old publicist. How many hundreds upon thousands of people will continue to sue ole frail-n-pale Michael Jackson before SOMEone, ANYone realizes that he DOESN'T. HAVE. ANY. MONEY?!?! (MTV News)

+ Solange Knowles has been tagging along with sister Beyonce on her I Am tour, singing at special afterparties and the like. Here she covers (perfectly and uniquely) Bjork's "It's Oh So Quiet." (Neon Limelight)

+ In case you're wondering what Katy Perry would look like as a midge, here you go! (Best Week Ever)

+ As cheesy as she may be, you have to give Paula Abdul some credit for turning it out on last night's American Idol. She was a'jumpin' and a'flippin' and a'whippin' that mic stand around like a rag doll, all while in 5" heels. Our favorite part was when she gets flipped over that guy like when Britney goes flying through the air in "Oops...I Did It Again." You know the part? You know the part. (Pop On The Pop)

+ Thursday LOLz courtesy of your favorite pint-sized rapper Lil Kim, who danced up on Regis Philbin during yesterday's Live With Regis And Kelly. (Rap-Up)

+ International Euro-dance super-sprite Kylie Minogue just announced that she will embark on her first-ever North American tour later this year. We can't wait to go to the NYC show and then report back on what costume ideas Beyonce will gank for her tour in 2015. (Popnography)

+ It's a real effin' shame that we don't have a unitard fetish or we'd be all over Katy Perry's new "Fashion Against AIDS" campaign for H&M. (PopCrunch)

+ Lady GaGa compares The Beatles to the Jonas Brothers. Makes sense! (NME)

+ Christina Aguilera will make her feature film debut as a burlesque dancer in the forthcoming movie titled -- yup, you guessed it -- Burlesque. (Star Magazine)

+ The jury is still out on Michael Jackson's "comeback" with doctors now saying he's too frail to perform in his current state. (Monsters and Critics)

+ Black Eyed Peas performed their new single "Boom Boom Pow" for the first time on Ellen today. We're not mad at Fergie's hair either. (Neon Limelight)

+ Seemed like a case of deja vu when Madonna showed up at last night's Costume Institute Gala at The Met looking a hot mess (just like that time she looked like Little Bo Peep on crack -- see above). Her only saving grace this time around was that she had arm candy Jesus Luz with her.  <LICK!> (D Listed)

+ Rihanna, on the other hand, looked fuggin GORGEOUS, even in men's clothing. (MTV News)

+ Maybe if she didn't oversing EVERY. SINGLE. NOTE. then Jennifer Hudson wouldn't be forced to cancel dates on her tour due to throat-related issues. Whatevs. Still LOVE that girl. (Singersroom)

+ Mom's pride and joy Heidi Montag will be posing topless for Playboy as a wedding gift to her husband Spencer Pratt. Personally, I'd have preferred a nice bottle of champers, but that's just me. (Pop On The Pop)

+ In other pertinent world news, Lindsay Lohan is once again defending her weight. (US Magazine)

+ I just CAN'T with these celebrities and their fragrances. Now Nelly??  REALLY?? (Bossip)

+ After battling cancer for eleven long years, Adam Cook (brother of American Idol winner David Cook) lost the fight on Saturday. Our thoughts are with the entire Cook family during this time. (People)

+ A morsel of (un)shocking news "came out" this weekend:  P!nk is -- wait for it -- BISEXUAL! <GASP!> (News Of The World)

+ If you ever thought your parents were weird, we guarantee that your mom wasn't playing "Naked Twister" while you had your friends over after school. Hot/Dirty Transformers star Shia LaBeouf's mom, however, was. P.S. and if he could marry his mother, he would! How 'bout THEM coconuts?? (Gabby Babble)

+ While her record label gets its s*** together, we applaud singer JoJo for deciding to take the bull by the horns and enroll at Boston's Northeastern University. She's double majoring in International Affairs and Anthropology, and no, she's not putting her career on hold. (Singersroom)

+ O.M.G. if you haven't already heard, some fanboy rushed the stage at Britney's concert at Mohegan Sun Arena in CT this weekend and tried to dance with her! We secretly applaud his valiant effort but remind everyone that what she does up there can't really be classified as dancing. It's more "softshoe." (IDLYITW)

+ Amy Winehouse was rushed to an emergency room in St. Lucia, where it was determined she was suffering from "dehydration." She doesn't seem to be a person that was ever "hydrated," does she? (PopCrunch)

+ Happy One Year Grossiversary, Mariah and Nick! Here's to hoping someone went "traditional" and gave you some paper masks while we ride this Piggy Flu out. (Seriously? OMG! WTF?)

+ Madonna and daughter Lourdes were among the celebs in attendance at Lady GaGa's NYC concert at Terminal 5 this past Friday. We're not sure how it could have topped her recent Philly show where she showed her cha-cha to the crowd, but... (PopCrunch)

+ Daughtry fans will no doubt be ecstatic to hear the debut of "No Surprise," their first single off the follow-up to their quadruple-platinum debut, on next week's American Idol. (Daughtry Official)

+ Further proving his heterosexuality, Kanye "I'm Not Gay" West was just voted the best dressed rapper of all time by Complex Magazine. You go, girl! (Complex.com)

+ Paula Abdul recounts firsthand how she was tricked into a wacky interview with "Bruno," Sacha Baron Cohen's character from the forthcoming movie of the same name. Come on, Paula. You thought you won "Artist of the Year" in Germany? Really?? (Celebitchy)

+ No Doubt is back in action and kicked of the TODAY show's Summer Concert Series with a live performance of "Spiderwebs." Gwen Stefani looks amazing, per usual. (PopCrunch)

+ Nas and Kelis have announced that they are getting a divorce. This seems like perfect timing since she is like SEVEN months preggers. WTF?? (MTV News)

+ Man, our minds are just getting BLOWN on this dreary Friday... Kelly McGillis (the hot blonde from Top Gun) has just announced she is a LEZBOT?? Talk to me, Goose. Did she catch the "Tom Cruise?" We hear it's a very serious contagion -- even more serious than that Piggy Flu that's been blowin' 'round! (SheWired)

+ Lady GaGa has been touring the world relentlessly since the summer of last year and has now been ordered by record bosses to take the entire month of August off. Time to give the hair bows (not hairbows, but bows made of hair) and umbrellas a break, Lady. (Amy Grindhouse)

+ Former Danity Kane member D. Woods provides some terribly blunt revelations about Making The Band and just exactly how real "reality" television is. We applaud her candor. We do not, however, support her new haircut. (Singersroom)

+ Now that Pete Doherty is a Sober Sally, the absolute LAST thing he needs is to be infected with the Swine Flu. NOW GO OUT AND BUY SOME HOG! THE INDUSTRY'S A SUFF'RIN! (Holy Moly)

+ You need to see the trailer for Eminem's new video "3 A.M." It looks like Silent Hill meets a Rob Zombie movie. Pretty creepy (and of course, Em is shirtless). (Rap-Up)

+ As if you needed another reason to head to Austin, TX this year, Pearl Jam and Beastie Boys (along with Dave Matthews Band - meh) are headlining the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October (tix are only $185 for three days.. pretty good for a recesh budgie). Other notables include Lily Allen and John Legend.

+ And here you have it, "the face of digital energy," the official album cover for Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." It's supposed to be a blend of all four band members' faces, but I think it just looks like Fergie after a hard night of drinking, which could explain where her wig went. (Rap-Up)

+ If you're in the market for a creepy Patrick Swayze wax figure (that looks nothing like him but claims to "sport his famous flowing 1980's hairstyle" from Road House), then you have come to the right place! (Live Auctioneers)

+ Ex-Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day is finalizing talks to star in the next season of A Shot At Love. I mean, anything is better than Tila Tequila, right?? (PopCrunch)

+ American Idol alum Jason Castro has been working on his debut album (and no, it's not the cast recording of the musical Hair). (The Music Mix)

+ Eliciting shrill screams everywhere, Britney Spears will be crowned 'Always Now, Forever Next' at Logo's 2009 NewNowNext Awards in June 2009. (LogoOnline)

+ Next in his series of strange-looking magazine covers, Eminem channels his inner lesbian for the new issue of Vibe. (Bossip)

+ And nothing beats a good picture of Christina Aguilera looking a hot mess. Nothing. (Hollywoodtuna)

+ Turns out we're not the only ones guilty of drunk dialing: add Lily Allen to the list. (TeenMusic.com)

+ If you were tethered to a railroad track somewhere and didn't watch the Making The Band 4 season finale, you missed Donnie Klang pulling his shirt up for no reason (we're not complaining) and a tense exchange between Danity Kane ex-members Dawn Richards and Aubrey O'Day. Check out the re-cap. (Remote Control)

+ Haha... Here's some reeeeeeally old footage of Robert Pattinson playing a nerd, trying to earn a buck. You'll love it. (Star Magazine)

+ And on the Twilight tip... No, Kellan Lutz is NOT dating Lindsay Lohan. (Socialite Life)

+ But Linze is evidently "talking" to Samantha Ronson again. For like, six hours. Just "talking." (US Magazine)

+ Even at 16, Miley Cyrus is breaking records all over the place.  She is now the youngest musician ever to have three no. 1albums on the Billboard 200.  Can you guess who previously held the record? (Hint: Think bare feet and Cheetos -- Brit Brit was 19 at the time). (PopCrunch)

+ Records aren't the only thing Britney's lost lately: One of her hair extensions was accidentally ripped out by a dancer on her Circus tour. (Did we ever think her hair was real?) (The Evil Beet)

+ Words cannot even BEGIN to describe how amazing these pics are of the crap from the foiled Michael Jackson Auction Collection (just LOOK at the picture above!!!  And remember those creepy life-size white people we told you about??) Uh. Effing. MAYzing. Especially the side-by-side comparison of MJ/Macaulay Culkin paintings. That one gave us the heebie jeebies. (Slog)

+ Hm. So, Jennifer Hudson's manager and publicist are now denying those preggie rumors we told you about yesterday. But. We're not actually hearing it from J. Hud herself. Hmmmmmmm... (Lifeline Live)

+ Oh, FOR THE LOVE! Evidently we're the only ones not watching Ray J.'s show on VH-1. It broke serious records on Monday, making it the most-watched show that day on ALL of cable, and the channel's most-watched show EVER. SIZE DOES MATTER! (Singersroom)

+ Alicia Silverstone is making a Clueless sequel? Is this even remotely a good idea, Tai?? (Star Magazine)

+ What is with all these Gossip Girl stars coming out with albums?? Now Leighton Meester?? (PopEater)

+ In case you were wondering, Tila Tequila is STILL dating bald eagle Billy Corgan. You're welcome. (Agent Bedhead)

+ We're hoping that you guys caught our favorite distress signal with red hair, Lindsay Lohan, on Ellen today. Three words: skinny, scattered, sad. What happened to the girl from The Parent Trap??? We want her back. (Scandalist)

+ Breaking Jonas Brothers news: check out the cover art for their new CD Lines, Vines and Trying Times. What say ye?? And in case you missed it yesterday, it was just announced that the trifecta will be hosting the Teen Choice Awards on August 10th.  Woot! Woot! (Buzzworthy)

+ Lauryn Hill will headline the Stockholm Jazz Festival in July of this year, just one stop on her 10-city European tour. Personally, we'd rather see the Swedish chef sing about spaghetti and meatballs... (Yahoo! News)

+ New pals Katy Perry and Rihanna took time to have a girls' day out in Barbados on Tuesday, looking all fresh faced and cute. (PopSugar)

+ Bumpwatch 2009 update: Sources close to Jennifer Hudson confirm that she is indeed preggo! Considering the year she's had, this seems like welcome news. Congrats, Jen... (Bossip)

+ Um, New Moon werewolves, anyone? We say YES (with an extra spoon, please)! (MTV News)

+ Why are celebrities doing all sorts of crazy s*** with their hair lately?? Mario shaved his head? BALD?? (Singersroom Celebs)

+ Does Lady GaGa love the lady cha-cha? See for yourself. (E! Online)
