The Idolator Hype Index (Week Of 1.8.12)
Fri Jan 13 2012 by Robbie Daw
It's time to get in the habit of waking up on Friday morning, rubbing your bleary eyes and checking out our weekly Pop & Fizz chart, where we rank the top artists and headlines in pop music. This is the second week for the chart, so here’s a reminder on how it works: we rank each artist or major news story according to their size (that’s Rank) and then we weigh how they’re faring overall in the pop zeitgeist (that’s Hype). That’s why, for example, Justin Bieber — whose photos in V caused a retaliation by fans — ranks above relatively unknown (in the States) UK boy band The Wanted, who had an enviable intro to American audiences via Ellen DeGeneres.

And, naturally, he'll have some famous faces along for the ride. Those performing with Bennett on the special (which airs at 9 p.m.) include Carrie Underwood, Michael Buble, Queen Latifah, Willie Nelson, John Mayer, Faith Hill and Justin Bieber enthusiast k.d. lang. So far there's no word on whether Lady Gaga will be re-paying the favor to Tony by making an appearance.

The Morning Mix: Incarcerated Lil Wayne Still Stirring Up Trouble

Did You Hear?
:: A warrant was issued for the arrest of Lil Wayne in connection with a narcotics case, though he's already behind bars on a weapons charge. Rumor has it he plans to make 47 music videos before his next court appearance. [Vulture]
:: The two Panic! At the Disco members who flew the coop—Ryan Ross and Jon Walker—debut their new song "Young Veins (Die Tonight)." Interesting title, since Young Veins is the name of their new group. More interesting? Sounds pretty much like Panic's last album Pretty. Odd. [Spin]
:: Jack White and Jay-Z recorded a song together. No details about what the track sounds like or even the name, but we're hoping for "Empire State of Mind (Sped Up) Pt. III." [Pitchfork]
:: Pomplamoose officially make the most adorable covers of pop songs ever. Check out their precious indie covers of "Telephone" and "Single Ladies." [MTV Buzzworthy]
:: Nicole Scherzinger had a surprise suitor hit on her during the "We Are The World" recording—Justin Bieber. The heartthrob took one look at her upon entering the room, and said, "I can't take it. I gotta leave. You're too gorgeous." [Rap-Up]

Tue Jul 7 2009 by Maura
Justin Timberlake, Jamie Foxx, and Queen Latifah have all been added to the roster of the Michael Jackson memorial concert at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, which starts about an hour and 15 minutes from now. Reports are also claiming that Jermaine Jackson will be in tow and singing, of all songs, the old sad standard “Smile.” Uh, what else is there to say to that piece of speculation but “Wow.” More »
