Pop Culture Is Never Gonna Give The Rickroll Up

A few news items that you might have missed while sleeping off your cranberry-sauce-and-stuffing coma:

• Ne-Yo is going to bring his grown sexiness to the next Marilyn Manson album. [Hollywood Insider] • There’s a Grammy Museum opening! It’ll be like a Hard Rock Cafe, except more self-important and with fewer franchises. [Variety] • The latest ’90s band to have reunion rumors swirl around it: Faith No More. Don’t mess with my heart, you guys. [Blabbermotuh] • And finally, lots of American breakfast tables were no doubt filled with confusing conversations about “this Internet thing” as Rick Astley came out to lipsync “Never Gonna Give You Up” during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, much to the delight of the Foster’s Home For Imaginary Friends cast. Clip after the jump.

(My dad knew what Rickrolling was thanks to the whole Shea Stadium thing a few months back. Yay Internet?)
