+ Ke$ha has designed a Casio Baby G watch line! Yesterday she talked about the collab and much more, for instance what inspires her look: "Today I wanted to look like a superhero...with a really accurate sense of time." (ONTD)

+ Wait, did someone say Kanye West, Rhymefest, Kim Kardashian and a puppet made a TV pilot together? Who didn't green light this? Luckily, the failed "Alligator Show"'s director made a video of clips. Warning: the puppet gets naughty. (Pitchfork)

+ OK, how many (fill-in-the-blank)-ing memes are gonna make the rounds this year? Apparently fridging's hot (or cool) after Nicki Minaj was snapped inside a refrigerator for Glamour. Das Racist's Heems and Snooki have followed suit. (Rolling Stone)

+ So the Britney Spears "Criminal" artwork that mysteriously spread through the interwebz is confirmed to be official. There's also a still uncomfirmed "Criminal" video treatment that hit the 'net. (MTV News)

Kanye West, as you already no doubt have gathered from his lyrics, his tweets and his threads -- and as you can see from the above photo of with No Doubt singer and, for our purposes here, L.A.M.B. designer Gwen Stefani -- is nothing if not a dedicated follower of fashion. So it's no surprise that his latest G.O.O.D. Friday release (the producer/MC/provocateur's running free music series, released via Twitter every Friday) is named "Christian Dior Denim Flow" and features lyrical references to half a dozen supermodels.

Name-checking catwalk queens such as Esti Ginzburg, Selita Ebanks and Doutzen Kroes, Kanye takes us behind the velvet rope, into a V.I.P. world most will never experience--hanging out with Leo (one safely assumes this is Leo DiCaprio) and working out a "master plan."

Kanye's clearly using these songs as a kind of public workshop, trying out new sounds and new flows. "Christian Dior Denim Flow" is a rather dark track, with distorted vocals and a creeping beat, the exact opposite vibe that you'd expect on a song that espouses the glory of hanging with models.

'Yeezy is also using these tracks as a chance to collaborate with a variety of artists he respects, from Bon Iver to R&B legend Charlie Murphy. "Christian Dior Denim Flow" is no different, with guest appearances from R&B crooners John Legend and Ryan Leslie and verses from Pusha T of The Clipse (who has become a staple of Kanye's recent tracks), Lloyd Banks and Kid Cudi.

This new Lloyd Banks video is incredibly economical in how it delivers a ton of info in just a matter of seconds. Within the first few opening frames, we learn that Lloyd Banks sleeps in PJ bottoms with the windows open, that he fancies himself something of a sensitive singer-songwriter (peep the acoustic hanging on the wall) and that he has himself a "shorty" concierge who calls to alert him that his girlfriend is on the way home. So he better clean up his romantic crime scene, scrubbing off all evidence of infidelity.

We also learn that he's friends with R&B sensation Lloyd, which must be hell when they're out in public together and people shout, "LLOYD!" and they both look up.

Anyway this banger's video, courtesy of J. Jesse Smith, finds Lloyd & Lloyd doing it up at a party with a disturbingly out-of-balance girl-to-guy ratio. They seem to be managing somehow. Frankly with a track this addictive it could be a film strip highlighting water treatment processes, and it would still go hard.

"Any Girl" is off of Lloyd Banks' Hunger For More 2. Check out the video below.
