Out there: Britney Spears and Daria Morgendorffer
• Defamer has a great round-up of "7 MTV-Defining Stars Who Wouldn't Be Allowed on MTV Anymore". Music Television, which now relegates its music to between-show bumpers, has completely abandoned its original identity of the cool, angsty kid on the block, in favor of becoming the channel broadcasting a steady feed of spoiled rich kids who don't mind looking like complete brats on TV. Daria would hate these people. But then again, she hates everyone.
• Ms. Spears might be reuniting with her first love Justin Timberlake later this fall, reports Page Six. Just for an album, though.
• The new Deerhunter album is out now, by accident. Due to a glitch, frontman Bradford Cox leaked the whole album, "Microcastle," when he meant only to share a few other tracks online. Spinner has the story. iTunes has the (legit, profit-producing) album. Deerhunter's blog has Cox's mea culpa.
• (via) More Decemberists coming soon!
• And finally, today is Kenny Rogers' birthday. Celebrate the man by browsing through his doppelgänger's at Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers.
