As the logical follow-up to their wine of the month club, storied soft rock band Train unveiled their signature "Drops Of Jupiter" wine this week, which is named after one of their early hits. What does it taste like? I'm guessing a smooth petite Syrah with top notes of soul patch and rocker hair. "We're trying to create just this little vibe, where people come to our shows, bring a picnic basket and bottle of wine," guitarist Jimmy Stafford told Billboard. (I wonder what the security teams at the venues they play at think about that?)

Anyway, in honor of this momentous occasion, we've compiled a list of four more celebrity drinks we'd like to try. We're usually the Diet Coke types, but maybe it's time we swirl some of these around in our mouths?

Lil' Jon's CRUNK!!! Energy Drink: According to its autoplay-happy website, CRUNK!!! is all about "revving up your life--in a bold, all natural way!" It also offers CRUNK!!! Energy Stix, which, as far as we can tell, are basically pixie stix with a "proprietary blend" of ancient crunkifying herbs added. And despite posting a song called "Acta Fool" on his website, Lil' Jon wants you to enjoy CRUNK!!! responsibly; no "Crunktails" unless you're 21. Can we say "Crunk" one more time?

Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez's Tap Water: Remember this stuff? These three celebs drew forth magical tap water from their golden faucets so that people would donate to UNICEF in exchange for a chance to win a taste of the sweet, sweet, famous person fluid. It's the next best thing to getting a clipping of their hair, and it's probably more delicious than our tap water!

Marilyn Manson's "Mansinthe": In keeping with his über-Goth image, shock rocker Marilyn Manson got in on the recent resurgence in absinthe's popularity with his own special version called Mansinthe. (Manson + absinthe = MANSINTHE, get it?!) According to a 2007 interview in Spin, he isn't fronting: Dude drinks a ton of absinthe. Way to put your liver where your mouth is.

Charlie Sheen's Tiger Blood: JK, this one's not a real drink. But if were, we probably couldn't handle it...socially. Even if it would turn us into "a total fricking rock star from Mars," we don't think we could handle the "Warning" label: "You might lose your job, be excommunicated from society and begin to scare small children."

What about you guys? Have you had any of these drinks? Which ones do we need to try and which ones should we pour down the drain? Let us know!

We understand the irony of a guy who's made a career out of yelling "WHAAT?" and "OKAAY!" over hip-hop tracks showing up at the finale of the nation's premier singing competition. We really do. Those kids practiced for years to get their voices where they are, and in typical Lil Jon fashion, Lil Jon just kind of shows up at the finale and says "YEEAAAHHH" in his signature spastic-chill way. Because when you're as unflappable as Lil Jon, even a show as huge as the "American Idol" finale simply ain't no thang. Who are we kidding? Lil Jon could show up anywhere and make it that much more awesome.

Lil Jon introduced the amazing TLC last night on the show. "Idol" judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler (and also Jack Black, of all people!) were also on the red carpet for yesterday's finale, where 17-year-old country singer Scotty McCreery became the 10th "American Idol" winner. This is the first season that former "Idol" judge (and "Idol" impresario) Simon Cowell has been off the show since he left to work on his new singing competition franchise, The X Factor, which, by the way, made headlines yesterday when it was announced that Pussycat Doll frontwoman Nicole Scherzinger would be taking the place of British pop royalty Cheryl Cole as one of the judges. Which got us thinking...

Hey "Idol," why don't you have Lil Jon on as one of the judges? He's already got a built-in grading system. "WHAAT?" if it's bad, "OKAAY" if it's, well, and "YEEAAH" if it's great. See? Genius.

So... OK. Ciara was in Times Square yesterday singing in honor of The Candie's Foundation's "Don't Be A Statistic" event to raise awareness to help prevent teen pregnancy. Also on hand was YouTube phenomenon Keenan Cahill, whose lip-synch videos on YouTube have been viewed nearly 40 million times. Ciara may have been compared to Janet Jackson, but can she say she shot a YouTube video in her bedroom that featured 50 Cent (as far as we know)? No, she cannot (although -- fair is fair -- she is pretty amazing at singing and dancing and being gorgeous).

Keenan, who is 16, took a break from teaming with Lil Jon and Nick Cannon to raise awareness about a worthy cause. How did he do that? By lip synching "You Can't Hurry Love" by The Supremes while a bunch of pregnant ladies danced behind him. So that's weird. But whatever gets the word out, right?

Of course, we'd be lying if we wished Ciara had thrown down a dope performance of "Work" or "Promise" for the crowd, but beggars can't be choosers... unless you're begging Keenan Cahill to lip-synch a Motown classic, in which case, sure, why not?

It's been more than a year since Brokencyde broke Buzzworthy's Tracey John. She went into their "Freaxxx" video with an open mind and promptly had that mind shattered by all the New Mexico crunkcore she could handle.

So it is left to me, your fearless music blogger, to stare my own mortality in the face and do battle with the latest clip from one of the craziest bands to ever combine Limp Bizkit and Lil' Jon. It's time for Brokencyde's "Da House Party" video.

Times have changed, and Brokencyde have changed with them. With that in mind, "Da House Party," the new single off of Brokencyde's Will Never Die album, employs some Jason Derulo/ "Glee"-esque AutoTune pop in the beginning of the song. This track wouldn't sound out of place on an LMFAO album or in Ke$ha's subconscious, until the bridge, when the shredding goes down.

As for the video, it's a pretty literal, if unhinged, representation of the song's title. There's someone dressed up as a giant pig playing beer pong, some mud wrestling, some backyard boxing. Pretty much what you'd expect from these urbane scholars.

Could this be a kinder, gentler Brokencyde? Might we be in for a Brokencyde Play Sensitive Acoustic Songs About Rain Forests album soon? Probably not. Where would be the fun in that?

Check out Brokencyde's "Da House Party" video below. Brokencyde's Will Never Die album is out now.

Orville Redenbacher, the popcorn guy, once said, "Do one thing and do it better than anyone."
In Lil Jon's case, that's making party music to raise your pimp chalice to. And his new video, "Hey," featuring 3OH!3 on backup, is certainly no exception.

In the "Hey" video, Lil Jon and 3OH!3 are seen partying in and around Hollywood while the "Jersey Shore" cast -- "Hey" is featured on the "Jersey Shore Soundtrack" -- does what they do best: party.

Beer is chugged, the Situation's abs are, once again, flashed, the beat is beaten and the dawn is broken.

Watch "Hey" now.

This week's MTV PUSH isn't a single artist, per se, but rather a collection of artists gathered together to celebrate everybody's favorite pack of fist-pumpers, better known as "Jersey Shore." That's right, we're talking about the pure party music of the Jersey Shore Soundtrack. It's the soundtrack to your least-guilty guilty pleasure. And to your gym, tanning and laundry list.

We'd love to just go ahead and make The Situation the PUSH Artist Of The Week, but he's gonna need more than one song first. So while we wait for "recording" to joint his holy GTL trinity, this great collection will do just fine.

The Jersey Shore Soundtrack features a slew of amazing collaborations from the likes of Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias, Taio Cruz and Ludacris, Lil Jon and 3OH!3, plus cuts from Paul Oakenfold, LMFAO, Girlicious and many more.

Check out exclusive interviews with the "Jersey Shore" cast to find out about their favorite party jams -- Vinny does an epic Usher impression -- go behind the scenes of the "Jersey Shore" cast's "I Like It" video shoot and see why Enrique Iglesias thinks there's more to Sammi, J Woww, Snooki, Vinny, Pauly D, Ronnie and The Situation than meets the eye.

And of course, don't miss the premiere of Season 2 of 'Jersey Shore" on Thursday, July 29, at 10/9c.

How do I love thee, Vampire Weekend? Let me count the ways. I love thee's zippy cardigan sweaters, thee's lyrics about French Connection and Philly cheesesteaks, and lest us not forget about thee's adorable, baby-faced frontman Ezra Koenig. (Hell, I bet even Elizabeth Barrett Browning would be putty in his hands.)

When I moseyed over to Spinner.com this morning to catch a gander at the band's newest video for "Giving Up The Gun" off their sophomore album Contra, I was given yet another reason to adore the New York City quartet.

Directed by the Malloy Brothers, the clip features Vampire Weekend performing amidst a fiercely competitive tennis match, which boasts guest appearances by Lil' Jon, Wu-Tang Clan's RZA, one of the Jo Bros and—gasp!—Jake Gyllenhaal, sporting the hottest pair of hot pants I've ever seen. Eat your heart out, Reece!

We've got SO much to discuss regarding internationally-flavored group Paradiso Girls. I will try to remain composed, but I have such an investment in these girls that I may chick out at some point...

Let's ease in with the video for "Patron Tequila," from the quintet's debut album, Crazy Horse... Wait, first I want some credit: I was an early adopter of this track, even texting uninterested parties: I am obsessed with this ridiculous song that Keri Hilson wrote about puking from margaritas ... which is what "Patron Tequila is about.

Watch the video below for a little Eve and Lil Jon, as well as Paradiso's hip-thrusting fiend of a lead vocalist (on this track), Aria Crescendo. Now it's cool each of the five Paradiso Girls is of a separate nationality, but I'm only going to discuss two: Aria, born in Paris, raised in Transylvania (I didn't make that up), and Chelsea Korka, the group's sole United States-ian.

I remember Aria from a gay-ish music video a few years back, "Girl I Told Ya" by Valeria (just gay-ish, as in Katy Perry, wink-wink, we-might-be-two-girls-who-actually-hook-up-at-"sleepovers" gay).

Now here comes my inappropriate investment: Chelsea, if she looks familiar to you, was straight-up robbed on the first season of The Pussycat Dolls: The Search for The Next Doll. I didn't watch -- I couldn't watch -- Season 2 of that show out of outrage and protest. Chelsea was my girl; now, as a Paradiso, sweet revenge is MINE!

Anyway, like The Pussycat Dolls, Paradiso Girls is a Robin Antin production, and it was sort of built around Aria. Working with Interscope and will.i.am, Paradiso auditioned and recruited the four other members you see now. Since then, the girls scored a featured spot on DJ Space Cowboy's "Falling Down" and made their TV debut on LOGO's 2009 NewNowNext Awards. Check out the live performance, with a lead-in from none other than RuPaul. Whut?

By the way, just one year ago, Lady GaGa made her TV debut on the NNN Awards. Could be a good sign...
