The Morning Mix: M.I.A.’s Cover Art Looks Like Our Computer Crashing
:: M.I.A.'s cover art for her upcoming album /\/\ /\ Y /\ is more pop-up than pop, and we're liking it. But it really should come with a side of fries. [Rap-Up]
:: A petition started by Madonna protesting the imprisonment of a gay Malawi couple resulted in the goverment pardoning and setting free the two men. Just more proof that this woman is still a force to be reckoned with. [Just Jared]

PHOTOS: Oscar Red Carpet Triumphs And Disasters
It’s that time again. That weekend when when Hollywood pats itself on the back for three-to-four often excruciating hours while the rest of us nestle into our couches, munch popcorn and sit in judgment on stars as they parade across the red carpet. And while most are focused on this year’s big change (the expansion of the Best Picture category to 10 contenders), we’d rather weigh in on Oscar red carpet moments from years past. Relive some of the best and worst pop star decisions from Oscars gone by—and we’re not just talking fashion (ahem, J.Lo and Ben Affleck). Check out our favorite triumphs and disasters from the Academy’s red carpets of yore. More »

Celine Dion May Have The Habs Yet
Perhaps hoping to assert her Québecois status even further, singer Céline Dion is interested in being part of a group that would buy the 24-time NHL champions the Montreal Canadiens, who are currently fighting their way through the first round of the NHL playoffs against their blood rivals from Boston. It’s unsure whether or not this would mean that she would be the only person to sing “O Canada” before games, but it definitely would mean that Montreal might have a regional sports network coming to town!

Who Will Follow Celine Dion And Carlos Santana To Las Vegas?
The news that Carlos Santana will perform three nights a week at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas beginning at the end of May is not actually an April Fool’s joke, despite that fact that it has the not-all-that-funny trademarks that pranks celebrating this horrible day tend to bear. I was really on the fence when the story had a quote from Carlos saying “I put in the contract that we will need 20 to 30 minutes in the middle of the set to do a back flip into the unknown,” but apparently Supernatural Santana: A Trip Through the Hits is all too real. (I’m sure vocalists Tony Lindsay and Tommy Anthony have fine voices, but can either replicate the dulcet tones of Rob Thomas? I, for one, am dubious.) Who should follow Santana to Sin City, where they can play to audiences of degenerate gamblers and drunks on vacation?
Wilson On “Colbert” On Celine
James Franco’s name-check of Carl Wilson’s ode to Celine Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love on the Oscars’ red carpet was an unexpected brush with the mainstream for Wilson’s tome, not to mention the 33 1/3 “book-an-album” series. Las night, Wilson appeared on The Colbert Report to discuss his book, which I am anxious to squeeze into my heavy work schedule of writing one day a week, typing my grandpa’s memoirs, thinking about starting to finish my final portfolio, and playing Fable II on my Xbox 360.
