Watch & Learn: “We Takin’ Over”
Watch & Learn: We peep a video and come up with five things nobody knew.
Boasting more "features" than the shelves of Blockbuster, the video for DJ Khaled’s "We Takin’ Over" passes the mic between some of the hottest names in hip-hop. T.I.? Akon? Lil’ Wayne? Rick Ross? Fat Joe? Birdman? All present; and all apparently wanted by "The Man." So what happens when you cast rap superstars in what looks like an episode of "Miami Vice?" Here’s what we learned:

No Such Thing as a Free Nine Inch Nail
As if the granny-suing, example-making, American idolatry-foisting music industry needed any more bad press, now it seems the RIAA is going after websites that have posted tracks from the forthcoming Nine Inch Nails record, Year Zero. On par, that seems like the sort of thing that the RIAA should be doing. Except, of course, when you consider that the band leaked those tracks intentionally. Speaking to Billboard, an inside source said, “These f*cking idiots are going after a campaign the label signed off on.” To be fair, Trent Reznor’s newest album does feature an intense guerilla marketing campaign. Then again, so did Snakes on a Plane, and that proved to be less than convincing.

Courtney Love’s Face Works Overtime
Keeping up with Courtney Love’s nose jobs is work in itself. The plasticized rocker recently posted on her site that in order to make her nose less "nose jobby," she recently (get this!) had another nose job. "I just didn’t like that old nose job. I went too far and I fixed it and made it natural again."
Check the moving image on the left for a comparison of the change. Can you even tell them apart? Also, there’s no word on Courtney’s apparent lip job, eye lift and possible cheek reduction. Take ‘em off, put ‘em on. Go, go gadget Courtney.
Some shots of Courtney love’s facial changes through the years are after the jump. Click only if you have a strong constitution and an empty stomach. [TheCelebrityCafe.com]

It’s a Good Thing He’s Not Playing Phuket…
"Norfolk," in Virginia, is a very tough [city] name to pronounce, without sounding like you’re cursing. So I got myself in trouble in Norfolk a little while ago. It’s a hard name to say properly without offending small children.
Singer, Songwriter, Sommelier…
Oregon Pinot Noir — that’s my red M&M item. I’m from Oregon, and it’s maybe the best Pinot country in the world. It’s been competing with France these days. Sometimes [venues] even get wineries that are within 10 miles from the house I grew up in.

Idol: Standard Issues
On last night’s American Idol, the songs sung by the top nine weren’t necessarily hits of this week’s celebrity mentor Tony Bennett. They weren’t even technically all standards, the genre for which Bennett’s known best. Basically, the song choices could be summed up simply as "old." Considering that Mr. Bennett will turn 81 this year, "old" was sort of the theme for the evening.
Blake Lewis kicked it all off with "Mack the Knife." Maybe it’s because popular versions of this song are sung by Frank Sinatra and Bobby Darrin — who each lent their own smooth, cool, effortless air to it — that its violent lyrics are generally ignored. It was cute when Mr. Bennett told Blake during their mentoring session that although "Mack the Knife" is "pre-rap," it’s still really "gangsta." The assumption was the he was being a cute old man, trying to relate to Blake in language that the younger man would understand. But it turns out that Tony was totally right. That song is straight-up gangsta! It’s about a crazy murderer. And as much as I hate to admit it, Blake killed with it. It was really nice to see a performance in which he wasn’t beat boxing, although he still worked in his stupid RLS dance style.
