Did You Hear?

:: It’s “Green Day, Earth Day” on Fuse—the channel will play the band’s music videos, interviews and documentary clips throughout the day. So don’t litter, carpool, and tune into Fuse to celebrate the Earth’s Day today. [Fuse]

:: American Idiot premiered at the St. James Theatre Tuesday night—does this mean we could see other Green Day albums find a home on Broadway? MTV masterminds the plot behind a potential Kerplunk musical. [MTV]

:: Perry Farrell defends Lady Gaga headlining Lollapalooza, and adds that the fest is “bringing in a special stage for her, investing like 150 grand to house what she’s doing.” And that’s just how much one crazy-ass shoe costs! [Spinner]

:: The Sex And The City 2 soundtrack includes Liza Minnelli doing “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” and many, many tracks performed by the Sex And The City Men’s Choir. See? Men can enjoy this movie, too. [Just Jared]

:: Which hipster-adored indie band is up next to be embraced by hip-hop? (We’re seconding Vulture’s sentiment that Vampire Weekend is up next on deck after MGMT.) [Vulture]

:: Chris Brown will headline a Haiti earthquake concert in Virgina next month. So don’t say the man never did anything right. [Celebuzz]
