Check out the following two VSPOT extras for some bonus footage you didn’t see in this week’s Charm School. In the first, etiquette coach Collette Swann has the girls share their feelings on New York using "appropriate language." What would seem like an impossible task is handled with restraint from Larissa. Brooke dishes the dirt on her infamous kiss with New York. But it’s Saaphyri who steals the scene (as usual!) with her take. She starts with, "I feel that New York is a great person. I still am trying to find out if she is a man or a woman." It only gets better from there.

The second clip is an extended cut of Schatar’s presentation at Andrew Firestone’s winery. Watch as she struggles to get a cork out of a bottle. You know, royalty probably doesn’t ever have to open its own bottles, so you probably can’t fault her incompetence.

Hit VSPOT for even more great Charm School extras.

Cam’ron and Myspace aren’t the only ones breathing down 50 Cent’s neck. Apparently, the hottest names in hip-hop and R&B all want a piece of him, too … as in the MC’s upcoming album, Curtis.

First, the producers: Dr. Dre, Eminem and Timbaland have all laid down tracks on the record, with one of the Dre songs, "Straight to the Bank," (listen here) already at No. 21 on the charts. 50 told BBC Radio’s Tim Westwood that big-name producers Kanye West, Pharrell, Swizz Beatz and Polow Da Don have stopped by the studio to guest-produce some stuff for the disc.

As for star wattage behind the mic, Eminem, Akon, Justin Timberlake, Mary J. Blige, Robin Thicke and Nicole Scherzinger are all slated to guest.

Curtis is scheduled for a June 26 street date. You psyched?

Party Like It’s 2001
Foul-mouthed rabble rousers Queens of the Stone Age release a clip of their latest "Sick Sick Sick" and introduce us to their new spokesman Bulby. Lead Stroke Julian Casablancas guests — who knew three frames of animation could keep us entertained for so long?

Rehab Works Wonders on Van Halen
In addition to detox and counseling, looks like they offer frosting and tanning services at Eddie Van Halen’s rehab clinic. Or at least de-Golluming.

Radiohead Album…Soon?
After lucidly railing against global warming, Thom Yorke drops typos like they’re hot and reveals he’s got a new Radiohead album, then rubs your face in it. "i have a cd of what we;’ve been up to…and you haven’t. yet. (sorry)" [mega-sic].

We’ve recently noticed that many rock stars are calling for new levels of audience participation. Used to be that they’d pull you out of the crowd if you were female (a la Bruce Springsteen and Courteney Cox); now they want you to direct their videos. Just this week, Bjork announced a contest for a fan to direct a clip for “Innocence” from her forthcoming disc, Volta. Now we’re as invested in the Interweb as the next media organization, and we’re big fans of feedback (comments, please!). But we’re drawing the line here, because when Bjork, or Buckcherry, or Modest Mouse, or whoever else starts asking fans to make videos for them, it smacks of laziness.

This weekend, reality TV vet/former pageant queen/groupie Shanna Moakler posted Paris Hilton’s and Lindsay Lohan’s contact information on her MySpace blog. This supposedly was in retaliation to a post on Hard Rock Cafe heir Harry Morton’s MySpace that revealed Shanna’s personal info. Shanna believes that either Paris or Lindsay is running Harry’s MySpace.

There are so many things wrong with this pithy ordeal. Here are a few:

Talk about the fast track to redemption! Without spewing so much as a single hate-based epithet or shaving anything (as far as we know), Jonathan Rhys Meyers has checked into rehab. Says his rep:

"After a non-stop succession of filming, Jonathan Rhys Meyers has entered an alcohol-treatment program. He felt a break was needed to maintain his recovery."

Riiiiight. You sure that isn’t reparative therapy? Jon hasn’t said anything questionable for some time (remember these gems?). He might already be on his way! Even if you don’t really believe his flack’s excuse, you best believe that Googling "Jonathan Rhys Meyers gay" will yield about twice the hits it does now by the end of the week. Just the way it goes! [People/Image credit: Getty]
