Rapper 50 Cent has taken on a bet in which he promises to post a naked picture of himself to his Twitter account if The Giants lose the Super Bowl this year. Um, whatever... I'll post a picture of myself getting naked just because it's a Thursday. Your move, Fiddy! (Picture below - NSFW!!!)

Here's some exciting news: it's rumoured that Britney Spears and Shakira will collaborate on a track later this year! Rather than wait on that, I've spent a few solid hours today putting together an mp3 of what I think we can expect... Listen below!

Around 10pm last night you probably felt a strange, tingling, burning sensation in areas that should only bring you joy. For most of us, that feeling was caused by the Season 5 premiere of Jersey Shore. For the rest, a little penicillin should do the trick. As I sat watching this trainwreck, I noticed something a little strange... Something that makes it kind of obvious this show is far from "reality" television. In the scene showing the morning after the party, Mike's friend "The Unit" goes outside to get an apology out of Snooki; when he's walking to the door, you can clearly see that he's wearing red print Calvin Klein underwear, yet somehow once he's outside the underwear print is blue. This is clearly why the girls in the house don't wear underwear, it causes continuity issues. Smarten up, boys. Yes, today we learned that "reality" show stars should never wear underwear. Except for you, Khloe.

Foster the People, 'Pumped Up Kicks'
10. The Decemberists, 'Don't Carry It All'
The Portlanders streamline their sound with a broad-shouldered groove, Tom Petty harmonica and an impossibly pretty roots-folk melody the Band might have dreamt up in 1968.
Backed by psychedelic synth burble and a "Banana Boat (Day-O)" sample, Wayne emerges from lockdown with four minutes of id-spew, meditating on death and dropping his cleverest line ever: "Real G's move in silence like lasagna."
A triumphal love song, slathered in crazy sauce: marching-band drums, backward-counting backup singers, honking horns and that weird-ass "boof-boof!" hook.
The year's best arena jam: schlock-disco thunder that sounds like a million little monsters pounding Four Loko on Mount Olympus. Only Clarence Clemons could provide the brilliantly unnecessary sax solo that truly fires it into orbit.
6. Radiohead, 'Lotus Flower'
A warped love ballad in the style Radiohead defined on Amnesiac, but with a decade's worth of bonus misery – plus fractured loops, tons of bass and Thom Yorke's ghostly ache.
Simon introduces us to a hard-luck Vietnam vet who's apparently revising a screenplay – and wishing he could do the same to his life. The story is so empathetic and vividly told, it's like we've known the guy for years.
Dave Grohl cuts a tough, tender rock ballad Kurt could have admired: quietly moving verses followed by a cathartic, heartbroken chorus surrounded by a halo of guitar fuzz.
Brit delivers the Apocalypse Now of Eurotrash electrotrance disco songs, as that throbbing pulse builds to a pure drop-the-bomb chorus. And that "whoa-ho-ho" choir sounds like Cher leading an aircraft carrier full of gay sailors.
The year's most intense throwdown – minimalist thunder pegged to a tweedling synth line that seemed to taunt potential haters. The lyrics are full of opulence ("gold bottles" rhymes with "scold models"), but this is no breezy highlife jam: Kanye barks about wilding out in France, while Jay imagines the dark fate that could have awaited him had he not become Jay-Z.
The biggest hit from the biggest album of the year is a breakup scorcher to beat all breakup scorchers, with Adele slinging bolts of regretful scorn amid gospel-tinged stomp and a gaggle of soul-sister backup singers. This is brokenhearted music that makes you feel like taking on the world – crackling with quiet menace in the intro, then slowly building to that gut-punch refrain of "We could have had it all!" How did such an old-school soul song dominate the charts next to Gaga and Katy Perry? Maybe it's the hint of hip-hop venom you hear amid the blues-steeped storminess when Adele tells her ex-lover she'll "lay your shit bare." Maybe it's that certain emotions – especially when channeled through a voice this powerful – will always seem timeless.

Although they haven't had a full length studio release since 2008's Day & Age, The Killers remain one of my favourite bands. And as much as I've enjoyed the solo projects from each member of the group, I'm most definitely ready for another 45 minutes and 39 seconds of pure awesomeness from these guys. (In case you're wondering, that's the length of their 2004 debut album Hot Fuss!) Anyway, it doesn't look like we'll be getting that any time soon so at least we can rely on them to provide us with a little festive cheer! Thanks Santa! For the past 5 years The Killers have recorded a new Christmas song, with all proceeds going to (RED). What I love most about this, aside from the fact they help to raise money for a great organization, is that they are always original songs; no covers of Jingle Bells here! This year, our holiday treat is a song called Cowboys' Christmas Ball, which you can check out below. I've also posted the other Christmas tracks underneath it in case you haven't heard them. Which is YOUR favourite?!
Cowboys' Christmas Ball (2011)
Boots (2010)
¡Happy Birthday Guadalupe! (2009)
Joseph, Better You Than Me (2008)
Don't Shoot Me Santa (2007)
A Great Big Sled (2006)
