+ The answer to the most pressing question facing our nation is no, Selena Gomez is not beefing with Miley Cyrus. At a recent event, Gomez told The Daily Mirror that "I'm not here to replace anyone. Miley is such a sweetheart. There is no feud, there's nothing going on." Whew. (I'm Not Obsessed)

As I'm sure we are all totally aware, Spencer Pratt fancies himself something of a rapper, going by the name Big White, claiming to be the white Jay-Z and challenging Asher Roth to a battle.

Now, it would seem a little of Spencer's talk-a-big-game act has rubbed off on his wife, Hills alumnus and burgeoning pop singer, Heidi Montag.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Montag claims her debut album Superficial can go toe-to-toe with Michael Jackson's record-breaking, chart-torching 1982 juggernaut, Thriller.

After noting Thriller as an influence on her dance-pop sound, Montag is asked by EW if she thinks Superficial stands up to Thriller, as an album. She responds, "I definitely do. I think people might not see it now, because it's my first album coming out. But I've spent as much time-maybe more, even-than Thriller."

For as insane as that might sound, it's strangely endearing to hear someone talk about the aesthetic value of what they're doing being tied to the amount of time they spent making it. And, for that matter, the money they spent on it (Heidi claims to have gone broke, spending 2 million dollars on Superficial's production).

Only you and time can be the judge. Is Superficial as good as Thriller (yes, I'm asking)? It's came out yesterday, so report back with your findings!

Quietly making a name for themselves since 2004, the sweethearts in Vedera have been accruing buzz the old-fashioned way: one show at a time. But being dedicated road warriors is not without its pitfalls, as this Kansas City quartet can attest to. In this edition of "The 5," singer/guitarist/pianist Kristin May talks about how her minor fender bender led to a jurisdictional dispute between Kansas and Missouri highway patrols. While guitarist Brian Little remembers a time the band's fought some black ice and the black ice won.

Fans may have heard Vedera's melancholy, piano-driven pop soundtrack the emotional car crashes (as well as the eye-rolling, sighing and crying) of Heidi, Audrina, Lo and the rest of The Hills gals. Hear what the band has to say about songs from their Stages albums being heavily featured on the show. And listen for more Vedera on Season 6 of The Hills.

+ Because Justin Timberlake doesn't have nearly enough to do (running clothier William Rast, golfing, making tequila, owning a BBQ restaurant in NYC, and CERTAINLY the most time-consuming thing: dating Jessica Biel!), an obvious next step would be to do an ad campaign for the Givenchy fragrance "Play." Holla for a dolla! (Popbytes)

+ NYC Police are preparing for the worst when rapper 50 Cent holds a "surprise" free concert in late August in the Queens neighborhood where he grew up. (NY Post)

+ Anyone in the mood for some new Weezer? We are too -- the band just announced their new single will drop on August 25. And if ya look real hard, it might just be floatin' around on the GooTube. (NME)

+ Will someone please tell me why Madonna is swimming in boxing trunks and a basketball jersey? (DrunkenStepfather)

+ Celeb feuds are as old as 'The Hills,' and Perez Hilton is usually the cause. This week, Ashlee Simpson told the Queen of Pink where he can stick it (and we're pretty sure it's a dark, dark place, devoid of all life), after meddling in her and hubby Pete Wentz' drunken affairs. (Cele|bitchy)

+ And speaking of Twitter, you'll be surprised to learn that Robert Pattinson does NOT like Twitter...(PopEater)

+ ...probably because people catch him maaaaaaybe kissing his maaaaaaaaybe girlfriend and co-star Kristen Stewart. (MTV News)

Virginia indie-pop band My Favorite Highway made a name for itself without a label push -- a name as in 100,000-plus in digital sales -- and while a record deal is usually the pot o' gold, it's nice to know you can make it without them.

That's not to say the gigs always flowed freely for this crew; they still recall playing venues in meth lab-ville. But come on -- that just indicates a band with the ultimate band experience -- and is part of why My Favorite Highway is totally Buzzworthy Obsession-worthy. (And I swear I won't just talk about the hot drummer ... although I am following his Twitter now.)

If the self-made story's not enough for you, know that the debut video from My Favorite Highway, "Say So," is a tribute to Ferris Bueller's Day Off -- which sold me faster than you can say "Rooney!"

I also love "Say So" because it's the ultimate in solid melody-writing: With clear vox from lead singer David Cook (uh, yeah... I'm not saying he should have changed his name, but I wonder if he voted for Archuleta...), listening to "Say So" is just a sing-along, top-down good time.

And yes, this video and My Favorite Highway's album, How to Call a Bluff , have some extra shekels thanks to backing by Virgin Records, but the new record's not all that different than the one the boys self-released in July 2008. There was a little re-mastering involved, and the addition of two new songs "Go" and "Dreamer," but David's songwriting got play on The Hills and The City on its own merits.

And no more meth den appearances for this crew! The guys are currently touring with The Cab and will team up with HelloGoodbye in August. My Favorite Highway also recently confirmed a few opening dates in September with one, Kelly Clarkson. Sweet!
