I was in the locker room at my gym today and I saw a woman blow-drying her pubic hair with the communal hair dryers. She was trying to be surreptitious about it, but I totally saw her and I was totally grossed out. In the end I didn't say anything to her, but I'm wondering if I should have. Blow-drying your pubes with a communal hair dryer: Is that okay?

Puddles the Sad Clown is just like teenage pop sensation Lorde, except that he's extremely tall, entirely mute when he's not singing, and is a clown. They do both have golden voices, though.

Last night former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne threw on a pair of overalls, printed up some lyrics, and performed a charming cover of the Biz Markie classic, "Just a Friend".

Time magazine notes on its new cover that New Jersey governor Chris Christie is fat. [Time]

This is the sound of taking pop music so seriously that it aches: Alt-bubblegum singer-songwriter Charli XCX covers the Backstreet Boys' "I Want It That Way."

We'll give you one guess who's on the new Vanity Fair cover. ONE GUESS. [Ghost Monthly.]

Lana Del Rey released her latest video on her Twitter account last night with the caption "new video," and it turns out the description signaled a pared down aesthetic for the chanteuse. After a series of music videos marked by their retro melodrama (or tigers or A$AP Rocky or aged bikers), Lana del Rey might be moving towards the simple.

Yesterday, Vin Diesel, among the most advanced Facebook users on the planet, posted this video of himself singing along to Rihanna's "Stay," apparently as a Valentine's Day gift to "V's Angels." Happy (belated) Valentine's Day, everyone. [h/t to Emily]

Here's this morning's New York Post, which is starting its year out strong in offensive sexist garbage. Don't hold, back guys! This could the year you beat "DSK MAID A HOOKER" for gross horseshit! Good luck! [Newseum]

Another day, another reason to fall in love with the most exciting duo in R&B, the UK's Alunageorge. Today they played the BBC 1Xtra Live Lounge, where they unveiled the new track "Body Music" and this gem: an upbeat cover of Frank Ocean's glorious "Thinkin Bout You." I had been thinking that Aluna Francis' voice had been manipulated on the group's recordings, but nope, it turns out that she actually just sounds sped up by 15 percent naturally. Unreal.

This week's issue of Newsweek is special because it's the last one ever. Yes, as promised, after this issue the magazine is switching to an all digital format.

"Call Me Maybe" is a smash hit pop song by Carly Rae Jepsen that has been covered an obscene number of times. (Margarita Pracatan, Cookie Monster, and a Corgi have all given their takes.)

Céline Dion started a new leg of her latest Las Vegas residency show last weekend and her setlist included a cover of Adele's ubiquitous "Rolling in the Deep," which you can hear above.

Sorry, everyone, but you'll never escape this song this summer, so you might as well force yourself to watch every single goddamn daily cover released of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," because at least it changes things up a bit.

OK, so it's not actually the President singing Carly Rae Jepsen's oh-God-why-can't-I-stop-listening-to-this hit, but it's definitely the next best thing.

Springsteen played in Newark last night, and while some of us didn't get to go, at least we've got a pretty good video of his heartfelt tribute to the late Levon Helm — a cover of the Band's classic "The Weight." [via @NickBaumann]

For its December 5 issue, Time Magazine is running a cover story in the U.S. titled "Why Anxiety Is Good for You." They thought you should know that your frazzled, overworked or underemployed, recession-tempered emotional state will eventually produce personal benefits. You just have to be patient.

We've had our fair share of crazy magazine covers lately. This week, it was Michele Bachmann's crazy eyes on the cover of Newsweek. A few weeks ago, it was the re-imagined and photoshopped life of Princess Diana (coincidentally, also on the cover of Newsweek).

Here are the covers of New York's three biggest dailies. Notice anything? That's right: Only the News Corp-owned Post had the guts to cover the shocking story of a "hero cop" saving a "suicidal gal." What do the Times and the Daily News lead with? Some obscure bit of legalism passed by the bums in Albany. [Yawns] Looks like we all know which paper covers the real New York!

First, there was the unforgettable original version. Then, there was the cool, laid back, arguably better-than-the-original cover. Now, Rebecca Black's "Friday"—the song that captivated the country for all the wrong reasons—has its ominously emotional cover. It's pretty good!
