- We have interns erecting a Britney timeline bulletin board in our office, as we’re starting to require visual aids. Less than 24 hours after entering her second rehab facility in a week, Britney has reportedly split, eager to shave/tattoo/pierce something else, but she failed to locate an open tattoo parlor.
- Gerald Levert, former member of R&B groups LeVert and LSG, is finally seeing serious chart success, months after his death. The singer, songwriter and producer, who died of an accidental drug overdose last November 10th, secured the Number Two spot on this week’s charts with his last album In My Songs. The record sold 165,275 copies. Norah Jones earned the Number One spot in her second week on the charts with Not Too Late, which sold 210,861 copies this week. Fall Out Boy stayed afloat: Infinity on High scored the Number 5 spot, selling 118,747 copies.
- See Lily Allen in concert, own dresses she approves. The snarky British pop tart, who enjoys pairing poofy vintage dresses with sneakers, has announced she’s designing her own fashion line called “Lily Loves.” (Bleh on the name).
- You don’t have indie soul until you record/perform with strings. The Decemberists are clearly down with this rule, as they are reportedly performing at the Hollywood Bowl with the Los Angeles Philharmonic on July 7th. For an extra dose of potentially life-altering tear-jerking indie-ness, Band of Horses have been booked as the openers.
