Happy Thursday, Scene cats!

What do y'all have planned for the weekend? Since today's like my Friday, I'm already thinking about this weekend...I'm ready to catch up on a little sleep! I stayed up late last night putting new music on my iPod and writing "Idol," so I could use a couple extra z's.

* R.I.P., Dan Seals.

* Here's scoop on the upcoming Blues Awards. Tupelo's Homemade Jamz Blues Band is nominated for an award this year.

* Everybody's talking about the trailer for "Where the Wild Things Are." What do you think about it?

* Here's scoop on Ben Harper's new album and band.

* Jim Carrey, Sean Penn and Benicio Del Toro have been cast in the upcoming "Three Stooges" movie.

* In more casting news, Isaiah Washington will star in a Lou Rawls biopic.

* Bet you never would've guessed that those cheesy "Idol" group sing-alongs are lip-synched.
