Three thoughts on the music scene...

So, Jessica Simpson started as a singer, then successfully transitioned into the role of Hollywood actress. Her little sister Ashlee started out as an actress (as a reoccurring character on 7th Heaven), then crashed and burned as a singer. I think there's some significance there, but I can't put my finger on it (other than those two should shut up and just look pretty, even though the elder Simpson wins that one too...).

Rivers, I love you. And there was a time that I'd worship the ground you walk on. But seriously? A cowboy hat and mustache? I know Heath is dead, but I don't think they're looking for actors for Brokeback Mountain 2 yet. One or the other is fine, but dude, please not both.

I hope that one day, some idiot (read: executive) at MTV doesn't say to himself, "You know what would be awesome? A blink-182 reunion for the MTV VMA's!" 'Cuz you know no one at MTV is going to have the balls to say "NO!"

Fall Out Boy's cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It".

Bonus points for the cameo by Donald Faison.
