Hello again, and welcome to "10 Things To Know Now," our weekly round-up of all things Internet-y and celebtastic. Let's begin!

1.) For all their vocal chops, it's nice to know Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez are kind of cheesy when they do karaoke (as one should be). Nobody likes a show-off. (Vulture)

2.) Haberdashery enthusiast Lady Gaga has announced she will intern with famed milliner Philip Treacy this summer. Something tells me this is going to be a little bit different from the usual "go get me a cup of coffee" kind of internship. (Popdust)

3.) With all his sartorial smarts, it was only a matter of time before Kanye West created a line of his own. Sources say he will debut his first womenswear (!) line at New York's next Fashion Week. (Grazia)

4.) Check out this awesome vocal mix of Britney Spears singing "Hold It Against Me" without any Auto-Tune. In your face, haters! (Oh No They Didn't)

5.) It looks like Katy Perry has taken the planking craze to a whole new level -- planking in a mermaid costume on the set of her new music video. This is awesome and all, but I'm not sure I agree with her tweeted assertion that "#itswhatArielwoulddo." (Celebuzz)

6.) Auto-Tune masters The Gregory Brothers made a hilarious remix of that eHarmony cat lady video...that sounds a lot like Katy Perry's "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)." (Crushable)

7.) Chris Brown has been accused of using anti-gay slurs during a pickup basketball game. Assuming it's true, this is the second time in one year. Not cool, Chris. (Salon)

8.) Ryan Reynolds and Charlize Theron are reportedly dating. Can you say "hottest couple ever"? (Just Jared)

9.) On his show the other night, Anderson Cooper (sort of) apologized for making fun of Snooki's book, and read some parts out loud to showcase the tiny terror's unique literary voice. (BuzzFeed)

10.) Think you like "Harry Potter"? I'm willing to bet you don't like it as much as this English farmer, who made a giant corn maze dedicated to the magical book and movie franchise. (Yahoo)

1.) Celine Dion thinks Britney Spears should join her out in Vegas. Like, at shows, not like, playing craps. (EW)

2.) Wondering about those weird bones protruding from Lady Gaga's face? They're not fake. She told Harper's Bazaar mag that they're her bones, OK? She was born that way. (Harper's Bazaar)

3.) This mashup of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" and Britney's "Till The World Ends" is brillz. But if you find yourself waiting for Britney's turn to sing, SPOILER ALERT: She doesn't. (Buzzfeed)

4.) Hey, here is a little personality test: Which band do you like more, Nirvana or Coldplay? If you said Nirvana you're more likely to put out on a first date (at least according to this). If you said Coldplay, then you're probably the type to hold out for a ring. Pop psychology FTW! (AV Club)

5.) THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! The track listing for the New Kids On The Block/Backstreet Boys aka NKOTBSB greatest hits album has been decided by you guys, the fans. (Idolator)

6.) So much new Beastie Boys stuff! First there was the "Fight For Your Right (Revisited)" trailer, starring Jack Black, Seth Rogen, Elijah Wood and Danny McBride, and that came out last week. Then, Monday there was the new track "Make Some Noise" -- and it was AMAZING -- and now there is another mini track "Tadlock's Glasses" that is also amazing, but in a mini-er way. (Consequence Of Sound)

7.) Even though they're not even a band anymore, The White Stripes are pulling a Tupac and releasing a live album and DVD. (Pitchfork)

8.) You know who REALLY like sweaters? DRAKE! Drake really, really likes sweaters. Just look at 'em all! (NYmag)

9.) I love the choreography in Beyoncé's "Move Your Body" anti-obesity campaign SO HARD. It includes the Dougie, the RUNNING MAN, the "Single Ladies" deep dip/pelvis grindy thing...like, these are all of my BEST MOVES! Aaaand it's for an amazing and fun cause? Couldn't possibly get any better than that. (TheBoombox)

10.) Finally, someone has made the Harry Potter series palatable for business school graduates! You will find the following meme funny if you (A) have earned an MBA, (B) know what SEO means, or (C) blindly enjoy all things Boy Wizard. (Buzzfeed)

This has been like the biggest week ever for my two favorite music things: (a) DIVAS and (b) INDIE ROCK. Won't you join me in my revelry as I recount the internet's latest and greatest?

1.) You've been hearing about it all week long, but here's the definitive proof: Lady Gaga's new single, "Born This Way," does sound alarmingly like Madonna's "Express Yourself." But Madge is cool with it, so NBD. (BuzzFeed)

2.) I'm not going to say that Weezer sold out, but here is a video of their version of the State Farm jingle. Yes, as in the insurance company. (Stereogum)

3.) This cat had a hard time finding a home because he looks like the Dark Lord, a/k/a, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, aka Lord Voldemort from the "Harry Potter" movies. I wish he didn't, but it is what it is. (AOL)

4.) Don't know if you  heard, but a little band called Radiohead, or as I like to refer to them, THE GREATEST BAND OF ALL TIME, are putting out an album on Saturday. You can preorder it online for $9. (The King Of Limbs)

5.) In other seminal-indie-rock news, the Flaming Lips have released a single in 12 parts that can only be heard when each part is played simultaneously on 12 different iPhones/computers. I don't have 12 friends (sad face), so you'll have to let me know if it's any good. (Pitchfork)

6.) The big hip-hop beef this week comes courtesy of Lil' Kim seemingly beheading Nicki Minaj on the cover of her new mixtape Black Friday. But then Nicki got on Twitter and was like "whatever." And then Kim was like, "It's not even a beef unless someone gets shot." (Billboard)

7.) Remember that song "Barbara Streisand" from the minds of Legendary NYC house producer/DJ Armand Van Helden and legendary hip-hop/electro DJ A-Trak, who together form the outfit Duck Sauce? Now you can "duck sauce" a version of the song with your name. (Urlesque)

8.) Britney Spears "Hold It Against Me" video premieres tonight on MTV and MTV.com at 9:55 p.m. ET (right before "Jersey Shore"), and I'll just say I've already seen it -- working at MTV kind of rules that way -- and BRIT LOOKS FIERCE. MTV News will be doing a live chat discussing the video starting at 11 p.m. ET on MTV.com, and you should definitely not miss it. (MTV)

9.) HEADLINE: Drunk Baby Trashes Bar, Gets Offered 'Jersey Shore' Spin-Off (Ninemsn)

10.) So that anchorwoman who forgot how to talk, who then everyone started to freak out over because they thought she had a stroke? Turns out, she didn't have a stroke. It was a headache. (ABC, LA Times)

Here we have the video for One Night Only's "Say You Don't Want It" -- a nice enough, jaunty slice of Brit pop that wouldn't sound out of place next to Blur or The Smiths; it's debonair, breezy and instantly catchy.

But there's an elephant in the room (or the video) in the form of "Harry Potter" star Emma Watson. Now, as metaphorical elephants go, you could do worse than Watson, but her presence automatically gives One Night Only a little bit more exposure than an indie-leaning band might normally get. How did One Night Only pull off the feat of snagging Hermione for their video? She just happens to be dating One Night Only singer/guitarist George Craig. Mystery solved!

The video is actually really charming -- full of low-key footage of New York's Lower East Side. Watson appears about midway through the video, looking lost. Craig approaches her and kicks some game, no doubt revolving around he is also British and what a small world it is, etc.

Check out the video below. One Night Only's self-titled sophomore album is due out in August. Oh yeah, Emma Watson is in some wizard movie that's coming out soon, too.

+ and no, we don't mean the 90's band Crazy Town, though that would be amazing. MTV just announced (much to Jordin Sparks' dismay) that they are bringing back hair monster Russell Brand as their host for the 2009 VMAs. (MTV)

+ ...and Taylor Swift will join Muse as slated performers at the big show, which returns to New York City's Radio City Music Hall on Sunday, September 13th at 9pm ET. (MTV News)

+ Speaking of sex, drugs, and stuff, Panic! At The Disco's Ryan Ross had absolutely NO idea that a big plate of chopped-up coke was sitting on the coffee table when he was getting his picture taken with some friends. Honestly! He was just sleeping on the couch and woke up and THERE IT WAS! Right. More like, he never went to bed and THERE IT WAS! Still sitting there from the night before!! (MTV News)

+ Just days before the U.S. premiere of the new Harry Potter movie, star Daniel Radcliffe gives a surprisingly candid (and hilarious) interview about being gay, showing his manhood on stage, and having an affair with Madonna (??). (Moviefone)

+ Amy Winehouse is back in the U.K., stepping out wearing a cute doggie sweater and a fresh set of tracks (that's hair, people. The heroin tracks are covered up by the long-sleeved doggie sweater). (Webster's Is My Bitch)
