Hi everyone! I am so excited to count down this week's hottest cyber-happenings, so let's not waste any time...

1.) Remember last week when I told you about Radiohead's new video for "Lotus Flower," featuring the interpretive dance stylings of lead singer Thom Yorke? Well, the WWW definitely heard me -- and ran with it. (Gammasquad)
(But Thom, if you're out there reading this: You look delicious.)

2.) British chanteuse Adele, she of the magnificent pipes and killer fashion sense, pretty much blew David Letterman's mind during her performance of "Rolling In The Deep" on the Late Show Monday night. (Idolator)

3.) Some guy named Justin Bieber, who apparently is really famous for his hair or something (?), got a haircut and it made the world end. (BuzzFeed)

4.) Lady Gaga has an official release date of Feb. 28 for her "Born This Way" video. Time to place your bets on whether she keeps with the prophylactic-inspired sartorial choices. (Buzzworthy)

5.) The Oscars are this weekend! In case you missed any of the 10 films nominated for best picture -- or perhaps some other 40 other films released last year -- this video will tidily spoil each of the endings for you. (Urlesque)

6.) Timmy, who became Internet famous for his rousing rendition of Ke$ha's "Tik Tok," is back with an adorable performance of Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me," which would lead some to believe that he's Team Britney were it not for the LADY GAGA BRACELET he's wearing. (Mashable)

7.) You guys, Hipster Little Mermaid has been quietly assembling an army of Hipster Disney Princesses to remind the world that they are better than all of us. (Tumblr)

8.) Psychic Sylvia Brown says Michael Jackson is much healthier in the afterlife and Princess Di is really happy for William and Kate. Just an update. (PopEater)

9.) I'm not a gold digger or anything, but I mean, if you propose to your girlfriend in a mall food court, what did you really expect to happen? Gentleman, file this FAIL away for future reference. (Videogum)

10.) Proving once again that he is the world's most gracious loser, David Archuleta made a super poised and mature video blog about being dropped by his record label, Jive. (Perez Hilton)

Well folks we've either reached the end of the Internet or we've reached some kind of sparkling new cultural dawn. Or both, or neither. But what we have done is found an amazing Tumbrl that takes your favorite stars, Photoshops their faces into various forms of bread and gives them funny, bread-related names. It's called BreadPeople and it is amazing.

Above you see Kni$ha, which is obviously the bread version of Ke$ha. It's pretty brilliant as well as incredibly disturbing.

And this is Thom Yorke as Thom Yorkeshire Pudding. Man, that kind of looks like it could be a still from a Radiohead video, doesn't it? Other bread people include Mr. Tea Biscuit (Mr. T), Bun Jovi (Jon Bon Jovi) and Stevie Wonder Bread (duh). It really needs to be seen to be believed.

Now that they can tweet about their comings and goings, most celebs have left the land of blogging behind them. Believe me when I tell you it's much easier to whip out your BlackBerry and punch out, "LOL! @justinbieber! WTF!?" than it is to grind out an eloquent, well-reasoned blog post (with a photo!).

That said, some celebrities out there are still punching their card at the blog factory. So let's take a look at the best in the celebrity blogging biz.

+ Kanye West -- KanyeWest.com
The king of kings. Kanye West's old site, KanyeUniversity, was an unparalleled, all-caps view into the mind of one of mainstream music's most unique personalities. Kanye's new site loses a lot of the zany charm, but is no less an intimate look at what makes 'Yeezy tick -- namely Mario Testino photo shoots of almost-naked models and Big Sean videos.

+ Drake -- Octobersveryown.blogspot.com
Much like his friend Kanye, Drake and his blogging minions use OVO to highlight things Drake thinks are cool, thereby giving a peek into what Drake is actually like. This blog features vids, music and candid picks taken from the "Find Your Love" singer's BlackBerry.

+ Lourdes Ciccone -- blog.materialgirlcollection.com
The most famous of Madonna's various children (adopted or otherwise) has become something of a fashion blogging maven. In promotion of her and her mother's "Material Girl" fashion line, Lourdes has been writing about everything from Buzzworthy fave Nneka to the New York graffiti she finds inspiring.

+ Radiohead -- Radiohead.com/deadairspace
Radiohead's connection with their fans has served them well over the years. And one of the tools of that connection is their long-running Dead Air Space blog. The members of Radiohead take turns blogging playlists, plus there's Thom Yorke's sociopolitical musings and Jonny Greenwood extolling the virtues of the video game Red Dead Revolver.

+ Tegan And Sara -- TeganAndSara.com
While there's nothing out of the ordinary about Tegan And Sara's blog--it features the usual show announcements, photos and general tidbits of news -- it's one of the better written musician blogs out there.

+ Honorable Mentions: Courtney Love recently began fashion blogging at What Courtney Wore Today (this will surely be entertaining), Lil Wayne's defunct but awesome sports blogging for ESPN and Best Coast's Bethany Cosentino's new blog that will review showers across the world (amazingly called Get Clean Or Die Trying).

+ Britney Spears is converting to Judaism for her new boyfriend Jason Trawick? OY! (The New Yorker)

+ Word's out that Radiohead's Thom Yorke might be tapped to contribute to the upcoming Twilight soundtrack. Seems like a perfect match. (Rotten Tomatoes)

+ The Beastie Boys have good news and bad news today. Bad news, MCA (a.k.a. Adam Yauch) was just diagnosed with cancer. Good news, he's gonna be ok. He'll just be down-and-out for about two months, and the Beastie Boys' tour is canceled. Speedy recovery, Adam. (MTV News)

+ Here's The Veronicas looking hot in this month's FHM (Australia Edition). (Moe Jackson)

+ Great. Now we've got Miley Cyrus crushing on John Mayer? So gross. (Cele|bitchy)

+ In case you missed your choice of four Jonas Brothers covers of Time Out New York, here's where you can grab your copies! (Time Out)

+ Remember when we told you pop-rock duo Aly & AJ were changing their name 78violet? Here's why! (Neon Limelight)
