- Leave it to Peaches to take Alanis Morissette’s decent send-up of the Black Eyed Peas’ “My Humps” and dirty it up 7,000 notches. If you are in the process of eating (or have eaten something brown and gooey in the last twenty-four hours) skip Peaches’ hysterical “My Dumps” video. If not. Enjoy. It’s seriously fucking funny.
- 50 Cent has apparently become the latest in a long line of rich dudes who resent having to pay child support. The New York Post is reporting that on Monday Suffolk County Support Magistrate Aletha V. Fields-Ferraro ordered the rapper to pay $10,000 in child support to Shaniqua Tompkins, the mother of Fifty’s son. She was also granted $15,000 in monthly expenses.
- Richard Fairbrass, the former singer of ’90s one-hit-wonder Right Said Fred, wants to be London’s next mayor. “I want to stand as an independent candidate with a manifesto for the real working people of London,” he said. “They make it the brilliant city it is. It’s not just about the super-rich.”
- Bob Dylan is good at everything. The icon’s totally compelling XM radio show, Theme Time Radio Hour, pulls in an estimated 1.7 million listeners every week. All of them will be happy to hear that Dylan has signed a deal that will keep the show going for at least a few more years.
- Around midnight last night someone shot up the Queens, NY home of Tony Yayo’s mother. Terrifying.
- Several of those still intimately invested in the NIN Year Zero project (we’re too obsessed with the album right now to pay attention to much else) were treated to a resistance meeting turned secret NIN show in LA. Neat.
- The Arctic Monkeys reportedly immersed themselves in their favorite guilty pleasures while recording their new album, Favourite Worst Nightmare. “We listened to all sorts, Ricky Martin, Charlie and The Chocolate Factory…Jesters of Newport,” singer Alex Turner recalled. “If you’re gonna try and create a good atmosphere, why not wear some M.C. Hammer parachute trousers? Comfort first of course, with a bonus aesthetic…its a guilty pleasure of ours,” bassist Nick O’Malley added. Whatever. We really like this record, so they did something right.
