Celebrity Buzz Yesterday in sunny Los Angeles, Paul McCartney was presented with his star on the Walk Of Fame by none other than Neil Young. Personally, I was surprised that the man doesn't have one yet — considering how The Beatles are one of the most popular bands of all time — but what do I know about the politics behind the sacred sidewalk?
TV Buzz One out of two ain't bad. On Bravo's “Watch What Happens Live” Thursday night, guest Daniel Radcliffe gave all sorts of opinions. As you'll see in this clip, while “Twilight” isn't Radcliffe's “cup of tea,” he loves him some Lana Del Rey.
Politics Buzz The official playlist that will play during all crowd events during the Obama 2012 campaign hit internet today and, wouldn't you know it, the list is filled with great songs. The track listing ranges all over: from the classics (Al Green, Areatha Franklin, James Taylor); to Indie bands (The Arcade Fire, Wilco, Noah And The Whale); to Country (Dierks Bentley, Darius Rucker); and rounds out the mix with some universally-loved songs like ELO's “Mr. Blue Sky.” In other words, it's a crowd-pleasing soundtrack that virtually anybody can — and will — enjoy.
Music Buzz Yesterday, February 7, 2012, a date which will live in infamy, the unrequited Lana Del Rey was suddenly and deliberately attacked by weeping and flared forces of the Empire of Gayman. (via Vulture)
Music Buzz So, let's hear it. Post a YouTube video in the comments so we can listen along!
Politics Buzz Paul's acolytes produce a lot of Ron Paul-themed music. When's the last time you heard a rap song called “I'M WIT MITT ROMNEY”?
Music Buzz What do you guys think of it?
TV Buzz M.I.A. flipping off the camera wasn't the only GIF-able moment of Madonna's Super Bowl XLVI halftime performance. Here are 24 more of them, presented chronologically.
Music Buzz Freddie Mercury must be rolling in his grave right now. A former “American Idol” contestant is the new lead singer of his most epic band. (via rollingstone.com)
TV Buzz She may not be a fan of Saturday night, but it seems that Thursday's alright, alright, alright. Nearly two weeks after a disastrous turn on “SNL,” Lana Del Rey came back with a vengeance on tonight's “Late Show” with a crowd-pleasing string-heavy rendition of “Video Games,” earning the (heavily) expressed approval of David Letterman and Paul Schaffer in the process.
Music Buzz First she stars in a World of Warcraft commercial and now Plaza is the muse for a music video for indie band Father John Misty? The girl is certainly well on her way to being the the #1 crush for geeks, hipsters, and comedy nerds alike.
Celebrity Buzz The Daily Mail got its hands on Nicki Minaj’s tour rider. The list includes food for all three meals, scented candles, a ton of apple juice, and — of course — fried chicken. It’s enough for a 24-hour party! (via dailymail.co.uk)
TV Buzz The 2012 presidential election would already be over if politics was more like like American Idol and high school. (via cbs.com)

Celebrity Buzz I, uh, yeah… no. Christina Aguilera, she who forgets the lyrics to the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, was invited to sing “At Last” today at Etta James' funeral service. She did a decent jo—OH MY GOD WHAT THE HELL IS TRICKLING DOWN HER LEGS?! (via Dlisted)
Music Buzz Why So Serious? Long before he hosted “The Daily Show” and changed his last name to Stewart, Jon Leibowitz attended the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia. And judging by this newly unearthed photo—purportedly of Stewart at a 1982 Dead Kennedys concert in nearby Richmond—he wasn't afraid to join a mosh pit. (via Gawker)
Music Buzz This is amazing. Colton James Boettcher wanted to make a different kind of “It Gets Better” video, so he teamed up with Madison, Wisconsin's LGBT community for this music video, set to Lady Gaga's “Hair.” Come for the sick choreography, stay for the inspiring message.
Music Buzz It might sound crazy, but you can thank Wilco for the first hand-drawn Popeye cartoon in over thirty years. Yes, in the band’s latest music video for “Dawned On Me,” Popeye, Olive Oyl, Bluto, and the gang rock out with Jeff Tweedy and company in front of the SS Wilco in a video that’s visually appealing, easy on your earbuds, and full of win. Collaboration of the year?
