'Icky Muck' Sticks in Head

Muck Sticky's song "The Icky Muck" is one of the most annoyingly catchy songs, and has been stuck in my head all day.

A few days ago I saw it on MTV's morning segment of music videos (the only time they ever play them, I think). The song is just so ridiculous and cringe-worthy, but the audience in the video seems to eat it up.

I'll admit I do like the line "Throw your hands up in the air/ Let me see you dancin' like Fred Astaire" simply because it's better than "Throw your hands in the air/ Wave 'em like you just don't care."

But I definitely would not miss this song if it just disappeared now.

Bonnaroo Additions

More artists were added to the Bonnaroo lineup, including Ben Solee, Justin Townes Earle, Cotton Jones, Phoenix, The Features, and more.

I wonder what the chances are that Kings of Leon will be added later (wink, wink).

'Slumdog' Kids Still Stuck in Slums

"Slumdog Millionaire" child actors Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed are still stuck in real-life slums, living in shacks along with rats and scorpions, despite having starred in an Oscar-winning movie.

First, Rubina's dad tried to sell her, saying that the family hadn't received anything from the "Slumdog" film.

But the filmmakers say they've been helping and have even created trusts for the two child actors, in addition to donating $747,500 to a charity to help other kids in Mumbai.

The families have reportedly been shown several new homes, but rejected them because they were too far from where they are currently living.

So, is this really an issue of these child actors and their families not having a Hollywood ending? And, should the filmmakers even be responsible for their well-being?

Sure, it would be bad to make a film depicting the slums in Mumbai and doing nothing to help the living conditions of those in real-life slums. But, to what extent should these filmmakers assist?

The Horrors' New Video

British quintent The Horrors have release their newest single "Who Can Say" from their upcoming second album Primary Colours.

The video kind of reminds me of Sid Vicious's rendition of "My Way," which is probably just because there's a stage, and frontman Faris "Rotter" Badwan is wearing a white coat and black pants.

Anyway, this new video continues where the first single "Sea Within A Sea" left off. I'm really intrigued to hear what the rest of the album sounds like (although, I'm still trying to decide whether or not to listen to the record's stream on the band's site).

I like their first album, Strange House, but based on the current singles and record reviews, the two albums are almost incomparable. The Horrors seem to have ditched the organ sounds and adopted more synth instrumentation.

Badwan said the band didn't want to repeat the first record, and it appears they got what they wanted.

Daisy of Love

VH1's show about seasonal romance "Daisy of Love" premiered tonight, featuring "Rock of Love 2" reject Daisy de la Hoya.

As with all the other "love" shows on VH1, Daisy's love quest isn't any different. In fact, it's almost like watching another "Rock of Love," but this time Bret Michaels has implants and lip injections.

New Moon

Entertainment Tonight's third segment of behind-the-scenes look at "Twilight" sequel, "New Moon," reveals three not-so-secret things about the film.

1. More Edward - Duh. With the Edward mania that's been going on since the first movie, it's only obvious that the filmmakers would put Robert Pattinson, the actor who plays Edward, in the film more than he actually appears in the book.

2. Edward shows a darker side - Of course, because he left Bella to keep her safe, but she puts herself in more danger without him.

3. There's a love triangle - C'mon.

Anyone who's bothered to read the books, or even looked up synopses online, should know all of these "secrets." And, the only people really watching these ET installments, or even care, are people who already know about the series.

Great Lake Swimmers in Honda Commercial

The Toronto band has become commercial (literally) with their song "See You On The Moon!" featured in Honda's Insight ad.

A part of me was excited when I first heard this lovely ditty on the tube, since it gets heavy rotation on my music player. But, the elitist in me thinks it's another indie gem that's lost to hungry hipsters who are ready to sink their teeth into the next "new" thing.

On the brightside, it's one less commercial for me to dislike.

Dad Tries To Sell 'Slumdog' Daughter

Nine-year-old "Slumdog Millionaire" actress Rubina Ali's father tried to sell her for $300,000 to undercover reporters from British newspaper News of the World.

Rafiq Qureshi said he was doing it to get Rubina and his family out of the real-life Mumbai slums.

“I have to consider what's best for me, my family and Rubina's future,” he told an undercover reporter who posed as a fake sheik.

Rafiq said he and his family "got nothing out of (the Oscar-winning 'Slumdog Millionaire') film."

He wanted to cash in on his daughter's movie success by holding out for the highest bidder and planned on selling her to a wealthy Middle Eastern family.

"The child is special now. This is NOT an ordinary child. This is an Oscar child!" Mohiuddin, Rafiq's brother, said.

'Harry Potter' Scheduled For Earlier Release

"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" is set to release a whopping two days earlier on July 15, Warner Bros. head of distribution Dan Fellman told Associated Press.

"Every day the kids are out of school in summer is just like an extra Saturday," he said.

The movie's release was originally scheduled for November 21, 2008, but was moved to July 17, 2009, to take advantage of the "summer window," in which more people are likely to attend movies.

And if the initial push-back of "HBP" release was too much, fans will have to wait out the similarly long gap between the first installment of the final film, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," on November 2010 to the second installment on July 2011.

Jackson's Auction Canceled

The auction of Michael Jackson memorabilia that was scheduled for next week was canceled Tuesday, after a settlement was reached between Jackson and Julien's Auction House.

Items, including the single white glove from the "Billie Jean" music video, will be returned to the King of Pop, according to Reuters.

Fans, who can view the public exhibit, were concerned Jackson's belongings would go to individual bidders. But there may be a permanent public home for Peter Pan, Cleopatra paintings, and bejewelled jackets for fans to enjoy.

The Collection of Michael Jackson catalogs can be viewed at the Julien's Auction Website.

Miley's Tattoo Bandages

From TV to movies to ... on your boo-boos?

Miley Cyrus (or, her Disney doppelgänger Hannah Montana) now has her image - quite literally - plastered to kids, thanks to Nexcare tattoo waterproof bandages.

Perhaps Cyrus has created a new milestone for celebrities' ranking of fame: you haven't made it until your face is helping to protect someone's wound.

Actor Puts 'Pot' In 'Harry Potter'

Crabbe ... ahem, "Harry Potter" actor Jamie Waylett was caught with marijuana and could face up to 14 years in jail, according to New York Daily News.

The 19-year-old actor was arrested after officers allegedly found eight bags of marijuana in his car. Police later raided his London home and seized about $2,900 worth of cannabis, including 10 mature plants.

Keane Makes Webcast History

The British trio made Internet history, performing live in Abbey Studios, today in the first 3D webcast.

Fans could watch them with 3D glasses, which they could've made with instructions on the band's site (the band didn't go as far as actually handing any specs out).

Keyboardist Tim Rice-Oxley told BBC he thinks more bands will make live 3D broadcasts in the future.

"I think the key is making the performance feel just as exciting as when you're at Brixton Academy or whatever, being in that room, and I think the 3D thing is a step towards that.

"Yeah, I think it's the future."

'Wild Things' Come To Life

Maurice Sendak's children's book Where The Wild Things Are is coming to the big screen October 16.

The movie, produced by Tom Hanks, will show this picture book's fans real characters - people and wild things alike. After all, like the trailer says, inside all of us is a wild thing.

P.S. Did anyone catch Karen O's credited with the music?
