• Rolling Stone was all over VH1’s Rock Honors, where Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, the Flaming Lips, Tenacious D and Incubus pay tribute to the Who. We also talked to Eddie Vedder about the Who’s impact and rocked the red carpet.

• Guitar Hero and Rock Band slugged it out for your attention. After Rock Band 2 fired the first salvo by grabbing a new Guns n’ Roses song and a massive track list, Guitar Hero responded with Death Magnetic and Jimi Hendrix. Oh, and Wii wants to get involved.
• We caught a pair of baseball-related shows: Billy Joel and friends said goodbye to Shea Stadium and Bon Jovi celebrated All-Star Week in NYC with a Central Park performance. And we assume a bunch of Seattle Mariners fans went to the Sub Pop 20th Anniversary.
• Both Eminem and Britney Spears are back in the studio, working on their new albums. Only one of the two gave up custody of their kids, though.
