  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

Kelly Osbourne is taking a cheeky approach to helping fans get fit -- the slimmed-down reality TV star is planning to release an exercise tape starring cross-dressers, drag queens and the like in an effort to make shaping up more fun. If it's anything like Carmen Electra's Aerobic Striptease meets Bark At the Moon meets Paris Is Burning meets To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar meets Richard Simmons' SuperSweatin': Party Off the Pounds, minus Richard Simmons, well then sign us up!

And speaking of stripping, that Heidi Montag jacked a track from Britney is nearly irrelevant next to that fact that Heidi appears to be looking more and more like early-2007 Jenna Jameson by the hour.

And speaking of workouts, here's a classic exercise-inspired video that DOESN'T star Olivia Newton-John -- Kanye's "The New Workout Plan," featuring a cameo by the late, arguably great Anna Nicole Smith.

And speaking of Anna Nicole, DListed has the trailer for the "most anticipated motion picture of the year" -- the Anna Nicole "biopic," uninspiringly titled Anna Nicole, starring Willa Ford. Weep!

When the video shoot for Erykah Badu's "Honey" stretched into a nearly 24-hour-long affair, Erykah, ever the detail-minded pro -- and perhaps making up for the long stretch between 2003's Worldwide Underground and her upcoming album, New Amerykah -- stayed on task for every minute of the epic event.

Christopher Robinson, of Robot Films, directed the video; he's also pretty much Alicia Keys' right-hand director man, responsible for "Fallin'," "A Woman's Worth," "Karma" and "You Don't Know My Name" to name a few. "No leisurely pace here," wrote Robot Films president Jeffrey Rhodes of Erykah during the December 2007 shoot. "She was awake, alert and moving at supersonic speeds the whole 22 hours."

And it shows.

Check out the finished product above; the video puts a feminine twist on Outkast's "Hey Ya!" video, shouts out classic hip-hop, funk and soul albums and artists like the Ohio Players, Nas, Eric B. & Rakim and De La Soul, (watch for an Olivia Newton-John send-up too) makes not one but two Beatles refs, and pays tribute to a sadly dying institution: the Mom & Pop record shop.
