For The Record !

. Remember when Lindsay Lohan sued Pitbull for mentioning her name in Give Me Everything? A New York judge dismissed the suit and ruled against her claim for emotional distress this week, saying her name was barely mentioned and that the song is protected under the First Amendment as a form of artistic expression.

. Rihanna is launching her own MAC cosmetics line, the first product of which will be a new lipstick called RiRi Woo. The collection will be introduced in MAC stores in the fall.

. And Adam Levine has just launched his new fragrances for men and women (and the bottles look like microphones!), and announced his second clothing line, so prepare for a lot of hipsters dressing and smelling like him.

. This week brings us the somber video for Kendrick Lamar’s new one Poetic Justice, featuring Drake:

. Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready has announced that the band will be releasing their new album, the follow-up to 2009’s Backspacer, “this year, for sure” in an interview with Rolling Stone, adding “there’s a Pink Floyd vibe to some of it, there’s a punk rock edge to other stuff.”

. Beck has released a cover of David Bowie’s Sound and Vision, along with an interactive video filmed with a 360-degree camera, so if your webcam is switched on, you can turn your head and choose one of three camera angles: one facing Beck, one the audience and one focusing on the orchestra; check it out here: http://loadbalancer.beck360-production.com/main/beck360.html

. And we can look out for David Bowie’s new single The Stars (Are Out Tonight), which will be released this Tuesday, and album The Next Day next month.

. Here is the most ironic thing you’ll hear today: Michael Jackson’s eldest son Prince Michael, now 16, is a celebrity reporter for Entertainment Tonight.

. Destiny’s Child’s Michelle Williams is starring in her own reality TV show titled My Sister’s Keeper, which will follow Williams and her sisters before the release of her third gospel album.

. M.I.A. is claiming that the Grammys stole the art direction of their Bob Marley tribute from her show last month in Australia, tweeting ‘My ideas come from my life. My set was based on Tamil Hindu temple. Not Bob Marley’, along with photos of both stages. M.I.A.’s new album is due for release in April.
