The Spike Jonze adaptation of Maurice Sendak's beloved children's book Where the Wild Things Are is finally seeing the light of day, after years of work and controversy (Too dark? Too weird? Catch up with Rolling Stone's story here). The trailer is out, and despite the lack of dialogue, I can't help but think this will be fun in Jonze's wildly creative hands.

Last night, the 10 Idolistas tackled -- literally, in some cases -- the Motown songbook, with musical coaching from none other than Smokey Robinson. I've challenged myself to keep my remarks to 10 words or less and provided you with links to check out the perfs yourself. Let's do this!

Aw, rats -- just when the competition was finally gettin' going on American Idol, President Obama's gotta go ahead and mess up the show's schedule. Booo, hissss! Well, we won't be live-blogging tonight, but I thought I'd leave you with me and Hunter's list of ...


Songs That Should Be Retired from 'Idol's' Songbook

  • First and foremost has got to be Heart's "Alone." No one will ever nail it like Carrie Underwood (above) did, though Allison Iraheta tried her note-for-note damnedest a few weeks ago. Anyone who tries this song only brings back memories of Carrie's performance (see: Malubay, Ramiele).

I don't know much about this spoof, except it's quite funny if you're familiar with the Watchmen story line. I imagine the movie, which is out today, is a tad bit more serious.
