Did You Hear?
:: In today's installment of Bizarre Collaborations, Big Boi is recording songs with Modest Mouse for the group's new album. "It's just like a big-ass brainstorm, a brain-stormin', tsunami, typhoon, tectonic-plates-movin' kind of thing," says the Outkast member, who will also receive a producer credit on the LP. "We do all types of music, so to get the chance to jam with a jammin'-ass band, I knew it was going to be cool." [Vulture]
:: Willow Smith flies through the air in the behind-the-scenes footage of the pint-sized pop star rehearsing for her Kids Choice Awards performance. [Celebuzz]
