THE CREATION:  "Making Time."  Mostly because I ran across Rushmore on cable last night, and was reminded of that nifty guitar riff and the pre-Zeppelin guitar bowing.

THE WHITE STRIPES:  Jack White and Patti Page did a conference call with USA TODAY  about their respective recordings of "Conquest."  Here are your his and hers videos.

WONDERGROUND RADIO:  You can stream an excellent music mix spanning the decades via MPR.  The recent playlist is at the link.

PITCHFORK has posted its 2007 Readers Poll.

STEREOGUM has posted its Top 50 Downloads of 2007... and its entire year of nearly three and a half gigabytes of free and legal mp3s.

LEARN TO DANCE... the James Brown way!

THE FLAMING LIPS:  Video from the band's New Year's Eve show is posted over at the 'Gum.

GOOD NAME FOR A BAND:  Or not.

MARGOT & THE NUCLEAR SO & SOS:  There's a new demo -- and live tracks of other candidates for their 2008 LP -- streaming via MOKB.

JASON ISBELL talks to NC's News & Observer about the musical differences that precipitated his split from the Drive-By Truckers.

BRITNEY SPEARS checked into a Palm Springs hotel with photog Adnan Ghalib around 2 a.m. on Jan. 2 - and then checked out around 7 a.m.  Later in the day, she skipped her court-ordered deposition in her child custody case.  Coincidentally, the pop tart's lawyers have moved to dump her as a client.  She goes through lawyers almost as fast as she goes through men.

JAMIE LYNN SPEARS is reportedly getting support from Fed-Ex in the wake of the 16-year-old's shock pregnancy.

PAM ANNDERSON just said she had "plenty of problems" and thought 2008 would be "more of the same," so I guess I'm not shocked if the ex-Baywatch bombshell left her kids in a Vegas hotel room on New Year's Eve, while she did a paid party event.

KATHERINE HEIGL:  Wedding photos and interview (and more) from OK! magazine.

EDDIE MURPHY married his producer fiancée Tracey Edmonds on New Year's Day.

THE McCARTNEYS:  Sir Paul had secret heart surgery amid the continuing strain of his split from Heather Mills.  The Daily mail also covers the pair's Christmas blow-up and Heather's dwnward spiral.

JESSICA SIMPSON has gone to Nashville to begin work on her much-dreaded country album.

NOT ENGAGED:  Not Ashlee Simpson.  Not Kim Kardashian.  Not even to each other.

NICOLE KIDMAN:  The Murdoch media empire is still running with that pregnancy rumor, both explicitly and in a not-so-blind item.  Which is a little weird, given that both are under the PageSix brand.

VIVICA A. FOX reportedly has a sex tape floating around.

INDIANA JONES IV:  Vanity Fair magazine got access to the set for a piece with Annie Leibovitz photos and mild George Lucas spoilers.  Lucas and Spielberg also talk about the Bourne franchise.

FRANCE:  Vandals torched 372 cars to celebrate the New Year... but that's down from 397 last New Year's Eve.

PAKISTAN:  Wild theories about the death of Benazir Bhutto making the rounds in Pakistan are becoming levers of political power... but will anyone buy that she was killed by a frickin' laser beam?  Presi. Musharraf has called out Scotland Yard to help clear up the confusion.

IRAN:  Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has spoken out against... negative campaigning.  Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have appointed senior hard-liners to monitor the elections, stoking fears of a replay of the 2004 legislative elections when thousands of reformists were barred from running.

IRAQ:  AQI continues to target Awakening Councils and Concerned Local Citizens' groups, which is only driving those forces away from AQI.

A KAYAKER had hoped to stealthily track a great white shark, only to find the tables turned.  Cue Sheriff Brody (nsfw)!

A CARPET PYTHON required surgery after mistaking four golf balls for a meal of chicken eggs.

INTERNATIONAL PIGEON SMUGGLERS:  Scourge of huumanity.

BUFFALO RIDING:  Trickier than you think.
