In her brand-new MTV Buzzworthy "The 5" interview, Brooke White confounds us with a medical mystery... she's got a twitch that doesn't sound life- threatening, but in my semi-professional opinion, she should get an MD to take a look at that. Or at least administer an official diagnosis via Twitter.

Thankfully poor Brooke's poor guitar finger is at least on the the road to recovery. And along with discussions of mild medical conditions, the American Idol Season 7 contender (she shared a stage with David Cook and Lil Archuleta!) shares more about her new album, High Hopes & Heartbreak (not to be confused with 808s And Heartbreaks), which she released on her own label, with production by Randy Jackson,

While Brooke gives no mention of American Idol in her interview (she was the one who had never seen an R-rated movie, or something?), she does offer some interesting tidbits about the recording process, childhood musical memories, and a somewhat comical phobia.

Finally, Brooke plugs her latest single, "Radio Radio," and you should take her word on this: it's summery, folky,  and alt-country -- a little comfort in these hectic times.

Come on. Admit you laughed when Brüno's bare ass landed on Eminem's unsuspecting face last night during the 2009 MTV Movie Awards. You laughed a little? Well if you didn't laugh during MTV Movie Awards host Andy Samberg's "cool-guy action heroes blowing stuff up" homage, then you probably need to check your neck for proper blood flow. Or you need to see more movies.
