GNARLS BARKLEY drops the video for "Run," which features a cameo from Justin Timberlake and seems inspired in part by the 80s TV show Graffiti Rock.  BONUS:  It looks like ?uestlove has leaked another track from the upcoming Gnarls LP.

NEW RELEASES: The Gutter Twins, What Made Milwaukee Famous, The Acorn and more are streaming in full via Spinner this week.  Kathleen Edwards releases Asking For Flowers.  The Felice Brothers make their Dylanesque, rootsy debut.  White Hinterland is streaming demos from an album recommended by LHB.

THE GUTTER TWINS, a/k/a Mark Lanegan + Greg Dulli, are profiled in the Seattle P-I, calling them "the Beast and the Beast."

KATHLEEN EDWARDS talks to the NYDN, Country Standard Time and the Seattle Times about her new album and hockey. (Thx, Chromewaves.)

RAY DAVIES:  Fresh Air mashes up a 1995 interview with Terry Gross about The Kinks and more with tracks from Ray's new solo LP, put together by Dave Davies (from the Philly Daily News, not Ray's brother), streaming on demand via NPR.

VAN HALEN:  The tour has hit a bump.  Eddie Van Halen is undergoing a battery of comprehensive medical tests to determine a defined diagnosis and recommended medical procedures.  I'm pretty sure that is deliberatley vague.

WILCO played "Hate It Here" and "Walken" on the Peacock Saturday night, so you can stream them via RedLasso for your Twofer Tuesday.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND's tour of the UK was highlighted by gastric distress and a hit-and-run incident.

THE ZOMBIES are touring behind their 1968 album Odessey & Oracle, for the first time.

SHELBY LYNNE pays tribute to the late Dusty Springfield with nine covers on her new LP, which earned a feature on Weekend Edition, streaming on demand via NPR.  The idea was suggested by... wait for it... Barry Manilow.

JEFF HEALEY, the blind Canadian rock and jazz musician, died Sunday after a battle with cancer, friends said. He was 41.

AMY WINEHOUSE has been diagnosed with impetigo, a highly contagious bacterial skin infection that causes pimple-like lumps.

WINONA RYDER & BLAKE SENNETT (of Rilo Kiley, The Elected) engaged?  Denied, unverified...

KATE HUDSON with a baby bump (and Owen Wilson) in Miami?  The bikini pics say otherwise.  What we do know is that Hudson has no idea who Katherine Heigl is.  It's tempting to say catty, but it is more likely flaky.

DREW BARRYMORE announced on Monday's Oprah Winfrey Show that she is donating a million bucks to the World Food Programme to help feed children in Africa.  Frolicking on the beach with bf Justin Long must agree with her.

JOHNNY DEPP helped David Hasselhoff resolve his divorce by presenting him with the barbers chair used in his movie Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street.

THE FRENCH HOTEL hit the town with... a Buddhist monk?

BRITNEY SPEARS:  Paparazzo Adnan Ghalib has been seen with another woman - fueling rumors his romance with the pop wreck is over for good.  He has been getting cosy with LA waitress Amanda Pagel.  Maybe dating the crazy woman seemed less compelling once her dad got control of her money.  Or maybe dad had him checked.

JAMIE LYNN SPEARS, the knocked-up 16-year-old sister, went shopping for baby clothes in light blue.

ELLEN PAGE: The infamous SNL lesbian sketch is online, and the rumors dissected at Wired's Underwired blog.

JERI RYAN and her husband, chef Christophe Eme, are the parents of a baby girl.  I just hope Barack Obama sent her a nice gift basket.

VICTORIA'S SECRET has gotten "too sexy?"  Cue Vader.  And Right Said Fred.

MARION COTILLARD is "in shock" over the reaction to her 9/11 conspiracy theorizing.  Her rep claims the comments -- which included doubts about the 1969 moon landing -- were taken out of context.  Well, she is French.

TURKEY is "clarifying" prior reports that scholars from 23 Turkish universities were working on a 'reform" version of the Hadith.

IRAN:  The United Nations Security Council has escalated the pressure over Iran's nuclear program by imposing more economic sanctions on Teheran.  It was immediately dismissed by Iran as illegal and illegitimate.   The sense of a diplomatic win was tempered. "The Iranians have beat the international community back so hard," said a US official. "The snail's pace (of diplomacy) is letting them enrich uranium. They're playing us all."  But at the Counterterrorism Blog, Victor Comras writes that the new sanctions appear to go well beyond previous resolutions, and for the first time may actually have some bite.

IRAQ should build on a recent string of economic and budgetary successes by strengthening its oil and banking industries, the US Treasury's top international adviser said.  US News reports on "Baghdad's New Normal."  After almost five years of war, many young Iraqis, exhausted by constant firsthand exposure to the violence of religious extremism, say they have grown disillusioned with religious leaders and skeptical of the faith that they preach.  The US military claims to have proof that armed groups supported by Iran are trying to sabotage Iraq's US-backed Awakening Councils.

KNUT UPDATE:  Now weighing 22 stone, with six-inch claws, the polar bear is a little less cute than he was as a cub.
