Yesterday, President Obama presented Paul McCartney with the third-ever Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Congrats to Paul, but we were more impressed that Elvis Costello, Dave Grohl, and Jack White were there to perform as well!

M.I.A. was so pissed about her New York Times Magazine profile that she tweeted writer Lynn Hirschberg's phone number and then made a diss track about her. What a baby, right? Well. She had a good reason to be mad.

OMGAGA! Tonight's episode of Larry King Live was an hour full of Lady Gaga goodness—and it delivered. Video of the best moments—awkward exchanges, Gaga's thoughts on fame and religion, a preview of the "Alejandro" video, and more—is inside.

University of Miami music professor Doug Bickel (pictured) was either, A) forced out because he's a sexual-harassing, weed-smoking maniac, or B) resigned after pressure from a jealous homophobic fellow pianist. Doug Bickel is either A) awesome or B) fucked up.

This is one of those times when I really don't know what to say besides this: here is a video, currently circulating around the Internet, depicting several elementary school-aged children simulating sex during some sort of holy-sh*t-this-is-just-plain-wrong dance party. *Shudder*

The ninth season (I know, right?) of American Idol just wrapped up, and overall, it was a pretty good show. The highlight, though, was the return of Paula Abdul, who semi-awkwardly paid tribute to departing judge Simon Cowell. Videos inside.

The Justice Department is looking into whether Apple's iTunes Store violated antitrust law, according to the New York Times. It's at least the fourth federal inquiry into the company in less than a year.

Last month M.I.A. went after Lady Gaga for selling out. In a new interview, she says "I don't want to say Jay-Z sold out, but..." Is this about her marriage to the nepotistic son of a music industry billionaire?

Here's pianist Valentina Lisitsa performing a recital of Rachmaninoff's Etude Op. 39 No. 6, "Little Red Riding Hood." As one Redditor put it, "Why does this piano recital feel like I'm witnessing a demonic possession?" Yep, pretty much. Video inside.

Jailed for the 2003 murder of blonde starlet Lana Clarkson, Phil Spector's heart continues to sing. His final muse: blonde starlet wife Rachelle Spector, whose debut album Phil apparently produced, from prison.

Australian fitness class participants: are they listening to pop music authentic enough to get them pumped? Alas, the answer may be "no." Because in Australia—whether it's cardio-kickboxing, spinning, or some other bullshit—it's set to Britney cover tunes.

Plans for a National Museum of Hip-Hop have already hit a major snag: the old school founders of the culture want to get paid. Does the world owe anything to the innovators—who were screwed as subculture became pop culture?

On tonight's Dancing with the Stars, a newly-sexualized Miley Cyrus performed her latest single, "Can't Be Tamed," live for the first time. There was a birdcage, some haystacks and lots of ~flair~. Not so much clothing. Or singing. Video inside.

It's time for American Idol! Tonight, at 8:00 PM ET on FOX, the Top 3 will perform live for our votes—singing one song of their choice, and one chosen by the judges. More inside, plus your open thread.

Justin Bieber graced Ellen with his presence this afternoon, and—predictably—insanity ensued. From screeching girls, to Bieber's thoughts on Miley Cyrus, to talk of his hair, to a rap solo (really), it was quite a segment. Video highlights inside.

Rapper and prison blogger Lil' Wayne was caught with contraband in his cell. An iPod charger! And headphones! He was probably going to use them for awful rapper things like making drugs, so thank God they've been taken away.

Greyson Chance, the 12-year-old boy who became an overnight Internet sensation thanks to an amateur video of him covering Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi," made his television debut today on Ellen. Inside, video of Greyson's performance, and a surprise call from Gaga!

Ugh, Jamie Foxx. Ugh. He's just so... UGH. Anyway! Foxx was on American Idol tonight as this week's mentor, and he made sure to bring his smug asshattery with him. Inside, video of Foxx playing God and making everyone uncomfortable.

It's time for American Idol! Tonight, at 8:00 PM ET on FOX, your Top 4 will perform live for your votes. Jamie Foxx (ugh) will mentor and the finalists will perform songs from movies. More inside, plus your open thread.

Guess what, tweens! Justin Bieber (and his enviable hairdo) was on Oprah today. There was screaming, sobbing—even some singing! Obviously, it was all ridiculous. Just how ridiculous, you ask? Inside, we break down the show's best (worst?) moments.
