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!

+ You'd think one of the most innovative directors in the history of music videos might have some time for one of the artists that's, more or less, keeping the medium alive. But Michel Gondry, who has shot clips for Bjork, Radiohead and The Foo Fighters, has very little time for Lady Gaga. Seems the auteur is not so into the music, and it pretty much kills the videos for him. Says Gondry: "To me it's like a form of Marilyn Manson. It's hard for me to talk about it; I’ve seen a couple of videos of hers, and not for very long. I stop watching them each time because I don’t think there's melodies. I’m sorry to be negative." (Movieline)

+ While Gaga might be smarting from Gondry's showing of the hand, she can take solace in the fact that another, much more famous person thinks she's "really hot." Twilight and Runaways star, Kristen Stewart, recently copped to being a fan, making the somewhat obvious observation, "She's got a look." (MTV News)

+ Possibly the only amusing story involving an overdose you'll ever hear: Foo Fighters main man Dave Grohl recently made an emergency trip to the doctor's office to deal with side effects from ingesting too much coffee. Seems Grohl had too much java while recording for the supergroup Them Crooked Vultures. (Spinner)

+ The budding romance between  Demi Lovato and Joe Jonas took a rather celestial turn recently. The two took some time out from saving the world to attend church together. <3 it. (Idolator)

+ A while back Bret Michaels recorded a duet with Miley Cyrus called "Nothing To Lose." We promptly responded with a hearty, WTF? Now the Poison frontman has come forward to explain there's "no weirdness" about the song. (PopEater)

You gotta give Kristen Stewart this: she doesn't take the easy way out. First, she cannon-balled into the stardom pool by playing the heroine of the Twilight series, Bella Swan, which was no easy task given the proprietary feelings millions of Twilight readers had over the character.

Now, as if carrying the burden of countless Twilight fanatics wasn't enough, she's taken on the role of one of the more iconic female rockers of the last 30 years: Joan Jett.

Stewart stars as Jett in The Runaways, which happens to be the feature directorial debut for acclaimed music video auteur Floria Sigismondi (Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People") and also happens to co-star Dakota Fanning as Jett's Runaways bandmate, Cherie Currie.

So now it's time for a little compare and contrast. Check out the trailer for The Runaways (coming in March 2010) and then watch The Runaways (the band) perform their hit, "Cherry Bomb."

With their visually arresting, theatrical videos (like this one for "Again"), it's no surprise that Flyleaf love them some Halloween.

In this "Halloween Horrors" interview, Flyleaf's Lacey and Jared Hartmann talk about Halloweens past; especially the time her little bro rocked the rather utilitarian costume of "sack of trash."

Lacey also recalls the Halloween night that Flyleaf got all kitted out and played a surprise show in Waco, Texas. There's also some essential discussion on Halloween candy and the various pros and cons of Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson as fighters. Take notes, this will all be on the final! And keep your eye out for many more Halloween Horrors interviews.

What is it about rapcore/ nu-metal hybrids that make dudes wanna wear masks or do weird things to their eyeballs? Case in point: Slipknot, Insane Clown Posse, Wes Borland, Adam Siska once, and Marilyn Manson always (dude, remember his eyes in "The Beautiful People"? And his scary Saw dental work?)

Whatever it is, Hollywood Undead is keeping the traditional alive, and they're also one of the biggest things to hit the Internet since Google. Seriously. Dudes blew up on MySpace and quickly had people realizing that there were cooler people to be friends with on MySpace than just "Tom," and they're currently crossing the country on the Saints & Sinners tour.

In case you're keeping track, my favorite members are J-Dog and Deuce, but only because I like their masks the most.

+ Watch Hollywood Undead's interviews and favorite videos on MTV2's "You Rock the Deuce."
