‘Glee’ “Moves Like Jagger” In A Wheelchair: Morning Mix
Mon Jan 16 2012 by Idolator Staff
Did You Hear?
:: We knew the moment we first heard that whistle-hook that "Moves Like Jagger" would be featured on Glee. Yes, the New Directions kids move exactly like Mick Jagger — if Mick Jagger were, you know, in a wheelchair. [ONTD]
:: If you thought Katy Perry canceled her appearance at the People's Choice Awards because she didn't want to take questions about her split from Russell Brand, the real reason is much less scandalous — she was filming an Adidas commercial. Though Katy is probably feeling bummed about her divorce, we know for sure that her newly-dyed hair is just as blue. [PopCrush]
:: Now is your chance to get your hands on what Snoop Dogg's been smoking. (Nope, it's not what you think.) Snoop will be launching his own cigar brand, Executive Branch. The first flavors of the new line will roll out during Coachella where he will be headlining. [Pink Is The New Blog]
:: A record-breaking seven people have been signed out of the Top 9 Contestants from Season 10 of American Idol. Included in this list are winner Scotty McCreery, runner-up Lauren Alaina, as well as fan favorites James Durbin, Pia Toscano, Haley Reinhart, Casey Abrams, and most recently, Stefano Langone. Sorry, Jacob Lusk, one day your day will come. [EW Music-Mix]
:: And in further Glee linkage, can you handle 10 minutes of Santana's sass? [Vulture]

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.

Rappers Know How To Spell, As Evidenced By This Video Montage
Thu Jan 5 2012 by Becky Bain
Fergie isn't the only performer who would be a force to be reckoned with during a spelling bee. Pretty much every rapper - from Biggie ("B-I-G, P-O, P-P-A") to Snoop Dog ("The S-N-double-O-P") to Jay-Z ("H-O-V-A!") and beyond - makes sure the world knows who they are by providing the correct spelling of their MC name in their songs.
