Much like Rick Seibold, we found NLJ via a Facebook ad. He's an Aussie guy who draws on Ben Folds and Jamie Cullum. You can find his tracks on iTunes, his Facebook, or on his Web site.
We talked with Todd & Eric Dammann last September when their cover of the Britney Spears song Gimme More was all the rage. (See our Q&A) Now these adorable gay twins are back with a cover of Rihanna's Umbrella. They've entered it for a contest at XuWee, and we think it's pretty great.

Justin Timberlake is embracing his inner 1970's poolboy, as we all do every so often. These stills of him walking around in a speedo come from the upcoming Mike Meyers movie, The Love Guru (slated for release this summer.)
Superstars shucking their clothing in the name of comedy? That's a movement I can get behind. Check out a few more stills and the trailer after the jump!

Last week while I was out sick with the plague, I was tipped off to a Q&A with Enrique Iglesias by one of the awesome folks over at the awesome music blog Popeater. The best Q&A from the set?
3. What are your two favorite songs to dance to? 'Macho Man,' by the Village People, and 'You Spin Me Round (Like a Record),' by Dead or Alive.
I don't know what it was about that answer, but it totally endeared him to me even more than before. Now I just need to find my way onstage at a concert... (Enrique, call me!) Enrique has a Spanish language greatest hits album landing in about a month, as well as a track on the Step Up 2 soundtrack.
Check out the Q&A at Popeater, and a few more photos after the jump!
Singer Ryan Cabrera has ditched the over-spiky hair and donned some tattoos in advance of his new album, coming out in May. He says he hopes the new album surprises and confuses people - those familiar with his previous look are certainly surprised!

What an awesome show, and a great way to spend Valentine's Day with my sweetheart Doug. We managed to stake out a prime spot in the center, just 3 or 4 rows back from the front of the stage. The space is pretty intimate, with low ceilings and exposed wooden beams, and it leant itself to a fantastic (and sold-out) show.
At one or two points Mika (who we had a Q&A with in 2007) mentioned he was under the weather and not feeling 100%, but if he hadn't said a word no one would have been the wiser. The band was fantastic, and as the show went from subdued spectacle to all-out party the crowd screamed and sang along at the top of their lungs.

While I usually skip the American Idol results shows, tonight I'll be watching as sexy Seattle native Blake Lewis premieres his new single, "How Many Words." Blake was runner-up to Season Six winner Jordin Sparks.
Five more photos after the jump!
UPDATE: Check out screencaps from last night's episode at Men on TV. (They also have great screencaps from Torchwood episodes.)

Kanye West joined Amy Winehouse as one of the big winners this year at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards -- the suprise of the night went to Herbie Hancock, who picked up the coveted Album of the Year award.
Kanye received recognition for best rap album, best rap solo performance for "Stronger," best rap performance for "Southside" with Common, and best rap/sung collaboration for "Good Life" with T-Pain. Amy Winehouse was the big winner of the night, taking home five awards. Also getting wins were Justin Timberlake and Maroon 5.
