POP CULTURE PYRAMID: Sienna Miller, Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens, Avril Lavigne, Shia Labeouf.

ETA: Oooooh. I'm sorry. We were looking for "Celebrities Perez Hilton Hates."

CAREFUL, MAN, THERE'S A BEVERAGE HERE: US Airways, always a favorite on this blog, is now charging passengers $2 for soft drinks and $1 for coffee on domestic flights ... unless you complain loudly enough about it.

NEXT, THE CYLONS DANCE TO SESAME STREET CLASSICS: The contest for "geekiest video on YouTube" is a tough one, but managing to mash up former PBS favorites Square One Television and Dr. Who into a music video about the Doctor's fear of commitment has got to be up there. (If there's interest, feel free to use this as a spoiler thread for the Who finale--I haven't watched part 2 yet, but this was a darn fine season, with Steven Moffat's trippy take on Time-Traveler's Wife, the interesting "Turn Left" exploration of alternate history, the Agatha Christie angle, and the crossover-palooza of the finale.)

McSweeney's Internet Tendency: Hamlet (Facebook News Feed Edition).

HAMLET POSTED AN EVENT: "A PLAY THAT'S TOTALLY FICTIONAL AND IN NO WAY ABOUT MY FAMILY": Shakespeare's Danish tragedy, as told via Facebook news feed updates.

WE ARE NOT A DUMP TRUCK: Due to a problem with the Google and clogs in the series of tubes, ALOTT5MA was briefly dubbed as a spam blog by Blogger and none of us could post. Blogger defines a "spam blog" as one that contains "irrelevant, repetitive, or nonsensical text, along with a large number of links." Perhaps we shouldn't be blogging about Neil Patrick Harris quite so much. We're back now.

Black Crowes Sue Gretchen Wilson Over “Saving Grace” Commercial : Rolling Stone : Rock and Roll Daily

DANI CALIFORNIA'S LAST DANCE, PART TWO: Via 3under5, we return to the ALOTT5MA Cultural Studies of the American Heartland Department once more this week to ask a simple question: did Gretchen Wilson rip off the Black Crowes' "Jealous Again" in crafting her new song "Work Hard Play Harder"? It's being used now as a Saving Grace promo, and the Crowes have sued for copyright infringement. Go listen -- verses sound similar, chorus doesn't. Hmm.

(Petty v. RHCP here.)

MANNY BEING MANNY (SOMEWHERE ELSE): Breaking! Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers; Jason Bay to the Red Sox; Brandon Moss, Craig Hansen; Andy LaRoche and Bryan Morris to Pittsburgh. As part of the deal, the Red Sox will pay the $7 million remaining on Ramirez's 2008 contract, and the Dodgers have waived $20-million team options on Ramirez for 2009 and 2010, allowing him to become a free agent this winter.
