I keep waiting for her to go on The Today Show or something and be all like, "Ha, fooled ya! You didn't actually think I was releasing an entire fucking album of Tom Waits covers, did you? Ahhh ha ha ha ha ha! You people will fall for anything these days."
Instead of doing that, though, she's releasing the album's cover art.
The album, Anywhere I Lay My Head, is scheduled for a May 20 release. This cover photo was taken in Louisiana, where the album was recorded.
This is so, so weird. It's a...
Thursday night's episode of The Office paid tribute to Nathan Robinson, a 15-year-old high school student who died on March 14 of "flu-related complications" and was a huge fan of the show.
The episode ended with an "In Memoriam" and the clip above, of Nathan playing the show's theme song on the piano.
Producers of The Office learned about the teen when the Boston Globe ran a story on him after his death.
This is so sweet, and really wonderful of the folks at The Office, but what I want to know is how a 15-year-old boy dies of "flu-related complications."
The Boston Globe piece is here. It says:
Nathan, a 15-year-old freshman at Newton North High School, continued to play the piano, and later the clarinet, every day until just before his death Friday of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, pneumonia, and influenza at Children's Hospital Boston.
Can someone please explain this to me? How can you not be able to treat the flu in an otherwise healthy teenager? This just makes me angry.
Anyway, Nathan seemed like a kickass guy, and I'll keep his family in my prayers. />

Here's the New Kids on the Block announcing their reunion on the Today Show.
This is insane. I cannot believe how excited people are about this. Who are these people? Seriously, guys, let go of the mid-'80s. Just let it go.
The interview is actually kind of amusing, though. When they're asked what fans should expect from the New Kids this time around, Joey McIntyre responds: "The economy, healthcare and job security." Heh.
Part two of the interview is after the jump.
Also: I have no idea if there's any truth to this, but a video for a song called "Click Click Click" is wandering around the Internet, and it's supposedly their new single. I've included that after the jump, too.

Hillary continues to promote her new campaign platform -- "Hillary Clinton: Not Actually An Evil Robot" -- with an appearance on the Tonight Show where she makes yet another funny.
"I was worried I wasn’t going to make it — I was pinned down by sniper fire at the Burbank airport," she says about 30 seconds in.
I actually think Hillary Clinton probably does have a great sense of humor. But comedic timing and delivery isn't really her forte. It's cute that she's trying, though. I think it actually accomplishes the goal she has in mind -- to humanize Hillary Clinton in the minds of the American voters -- but not in the way she intended. Instead of being like, "Oh my gosh, Hillary Clinton is so funny, I had no idea," I'm like, "Oh my gosh, Hillary Clinton is bad at something. How cute is that!" It's like in My Best Friend's Wedding when Cameron Diaz gets up to sing and she's just so damn horrible but the whole thing actually makes you like her more? Hillary Clinton's jokes are like Cameron Diaz's bad singing. />

Leggings Lohan hit up Dominics on Friday night, and left in a car driven by Samantha Ronson.
Lindsay and SamRo have been hanging out a lot lately, but Lindsay is always very careful not to be photographed with her. They leave separately, and then, when Samantha pulls the car around, Lindsay covers her face until they drive away. Smart girl. And smart of her not to drive herself. Dumb of her to be drinking, though.
Check out her nails. Craziness. And what the hell is in her hand? Looks l...

Because, as much as I hate the girl, she's not doing anything wrong in them. She's not even naked for chrissake. She's behaving like a run-of-the-mill twenty-something goofing around with her friends. There are 20,000 photos out there of me doing the same shit. In fact, there are plenty of photos of me out there doing worse shit. Just track down my Facebook page. Or MySpace. And it's not something I'm embarrassed about or I hide because, ya know, I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm behaving li...
Here's Chloe Marshall, the size 16 Miss England contestant who's been getting all sorts of attention lately, in the pageant's bikini photo call.
It's a cute Cinderella story, that's for sure, but I'd be lying if I said I looked at this girl and saw physical beauty. Does that mean she is not a kind, intelligent, valuable human being? No, absolutely not. Does she really have a place in the Miss England beauty pageant? I don't think so. Like, let's get honest: there are plenty of awards to be won in this wor...
I am such a huge loser, but I'm actually really excited for the new LiLo album. I loved her first two, and I'm excited for the next one, which is reportedly going to be released this fall.
"She already has four songs [completed]. It'll be a fall release and they're looking to sneak a single to radio this summer," says a source.
Oooh, if they're looking to get a single on the radio this summer, it means tracks should start leaking online any minute now.
Yay!...
Naomi Campbell was released on bail on Friday after being arrested for spitting at a police officer at an airport.
Next stop?
Re. Hab.
Naomi's been arrested more than once for shit like this, and she always gets off with a slap on the wrist. She's never served a minute of jail time. But spitting on a police officer? God, I hope they throw the book at this chick. Her best bet at this point is to check herself in for some serious rehabbery, because I think it's safe to say homegirl'...
Here's Taryn at the premiere of Jack and Jill Vs. The World. She kind of looks like hell. I dunno, maybe it was just a few bad pictures. I generally like her quite a bit.
In the second photo, she's posing with Vanessa Parise, the film's director. I met Vanessa a couple years ago. At the time, Film.com was working actively with independent film directors (they still may be, I dunno, I'm too busy searching the Internet for celebrity porn to be involved with any other aspect of that site -- much to their chagrin), and we had several dinners with Vanessa. She was perfectly nice to me, and...
Ugh.
It's like high school never ends.
The New York Observer is running a competition called Socialite Slapdown. Basically it pits NYC socialites against one another in the categories of brains, beauty, birth, and brio (I don't know what "brio" means, either, and I would have pegged it for a cheese if I heard it out of context. The Observer's description makes it sound pretty much like a measure of one's willingness to sacrifice self-respect in the name of social climbing).
Anywa...
