• Jamie Foxx tonight’s Idol mentor [MJ]
• Pete Doherty thought to have swine flu by the always-calm British press (but honestly, dude has lived through so much else that swine flu is nothing, nothing at all) [STV via NME]
• Environmentally conscious Rothbury festival’s headliners: The Dead, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and String Cheese Incident [JamBase]

Or, as he billed himself on his latest album — Peter Doherty. The album is ok, but not as good as the Babyshambles stuff, which was not as good as The Libertines albums, which I fucking loved and still listen to with some regularity. Come on Pete(r), I want a third Libertines album.
No Bublé?
How did Foxx get to be the mentor on Rat Pack night? The only explanation I can find is that he played Ray Charles in a movie, Ray Charles appeared on the Johnny Cash Show, which was a variety show – like the Dean Martin Show, and Dean Martin was part of the Rat Pack…
@Thierry:
Penance. I’m guessing the movie studio pimped him out to FOX to win back the youth of today after the whole Miley Cyrus debacle. That and the fact that he has a movie out that made about 300 dollars at the theaters last weekend.
