Looking at the pics of this Aston Martin test car snapped by our crack team of spies, it’s tough to say if we’re looking at a refreshed V8-powered Vantage Roadster, or what might in fact be a V12 Vantage Roadster. Either way, we dig the new wheels. If you tiptoe through the gallery, you’re sure to notice what’s new. Namely, and aside from the gray carbon-look wheels, a carbon fiber front splitter and a rear carbon fiber diffuser. Whatever the engine, the Aston Martin Vantage has been one of the flat out sexiest cars available since it debuted in 2005 – but that doesn’t mean it’s not getting long in the tooth. So Aston very well might be performing a mild mid-cycle refresh of their baby coupe and convertible by grafting on the ground effects from the 510 horsepower V12 Vantage.

I don’t wanna live in a world where Kelly Clarkson has to dress up as Khloe Kardashian for the world to pay her any due attention…or do I?

That Kelly Clarkson cover does nothing to reduce my amount of adoration from her. She can do no wrong in my book. This also reminds me, Idol premiere Jan. 13. It's time.

Here's hoping for a better year on many fronts in 2009, my friend.

@Nunya B: That cover is awe-some! I love the kinda Annie-ish tone to it.

It would have been nice if Springsteen, U2, and Prince would have had their product out this past Christmas, but it is something to look forward to. Hopefully the old school masters will deliver.

@Nunya B: Is that valentine to Clive Davis?

Well, for me it still comes down to the Jonas Brothers...but that's always me.

Happy New Year!

Oh, Maura, I love that I can always count on you for some Ida Maria adoration. I’m immensely pumped for her show at the Mercury in a mere fortnight.

@Maura Johnston: Look on the bright side- it's all Max Martin so it cannot possibly be as bad, or as much of a flop, as My December.

OMG I love that Kelly Clarkson cover, looks like an album cover from 1977.

@Nunya B: Ewww. I already didn't like that title.

Still, any year with a new Franz album cannot be all bad.

@Nunya B: Oh and this is a working URL for the Kelly Clarkson single cover:

While I'd love for #7 to be true, Lady GaGa is apparently going to be Everywhere-capital-E this year, having worn Europe and Australia into submission. She's not exactly flying the flag high for intelligent, well-crafted pop music. Or good hair. Or even pretty faces fronting shitty music. So basically she's a sub-Fergie act gussied up in "hipster" accoutrements and a fright wig.

Also, the cover art for Kelly Clarkson's new single bodes poorly.

2009: in which the American people reap what Katy Perry has wrought (and however good Hot n Cold is I don't think she can be forgiven for that).
