MARIAH CAREY RE-ENTERS HOLLYWOOD
An item in Friday's New York Post that sounds like it came straight from the mouth of Mariah Carey's publicist hyped the redemptive qualities of Carey's upcoming film Tennessee.

FERGIE TO BECOME SHOE SALESWOMAN, BUT NOT SINGING SHOE SALESWOMAN
Fergie has denied claims that she will pen an ode to the shoe line Candie's on her next album, saying that she'll only appear in ads for the company. It wouldn't have been the first time the Dutchess gave one of her songs the Yellow Pages treatment, though - she previously product placed Dolce & Gabbana, Fendi, Donna Karan, Seven Jeans, True Religion and Cocoa Puffs within a fifteen-second span on the Black Eyed Peas' "My Humps."

TODAY'S PICKS

DAILY TRACK: Art Brut - "Jealous Guy"
It would be nice if Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos offered more details that really stuck, but it's fun to hear him pick through the ashtray of his brain and offer himself as the punch line - as on "Jealous Guy," where he tries to "accidentally" wake his sleeping girl in order to get laid.

DAILY VIDEO: In the Trenches - Live Earth New York: Live Footage and Fan Testimonials


DAILY REVIEW: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Peter Travers says, "If you're not hot for Harry onscreen, watch out for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, the fifth of the seven Potter books to be filmed to date. It will hook you good and keep you riveted."
