Wonder if the Biebs will be covering Billie Jean anytime soon?

I'm assuming you have a life, unlike me, a person who spends her days and nights scouring the Internet for fun, poppy nuggets that go into this blog. (Yes editors, I write a few stories, too).
But as the Tulsa World's POP blogger, I'm here to serve you. And I take my job
very seriously.
So I've decided to try a good old-fashioned weekly round up, showcasing some of the best pop culture stories of the week. All for you, dear readers, all for you.
Let's get started:
1.
Running off at the mouth, or via Twitter, is not good for your career. Just ask
Brett Ratner or
Ashton Kutcher. Within in the span of three days, both celebs made serious blunders in, uh, "speaking their minds." Ratner's gay slur cost him an Oscar gig as well as hosting duties for his buddy, Eddie Murphy. And Kutcher is now labeled a "Twitter quitter" after handing his account over to his managers due to a dumb Tweet defending Joe Paterno. So much for spreading his message to his fans personally.
2.
Billy Crystal is in as Oscars host! He Tweeted the good news yesterday, in pure Crystal style: "Am doing the Oscars so the young woman in the pharmacy will stop asking my name when I pick up prescriptions. Looking forward to the show."
3.
Madonna's new song dropped and already bombed. She's reportedly "very upset" that someone
leaked a demo of her new song, "Give Me All Your Love," and reactions were, um, not great. Give her a break! A demo is just that. I'm sure the superstar will edit the crap out of it before we hear it again.
4.
Dead celebs can still cook. The late, great Bea Arthur's recipe for a Vegetarian Breakfast was hot on the Internet this week. Why? Author Frank DeCaro talked to
People about his cookbook,
The Dead Celebrity Cookbook. I'm guessing calories aren't a concern here.
5.
The Biebs is probably not going to be on Teen Dad. Justin Bieber alert: He's really, REALLY positive that
he's not the father of the child with a woman who's accusing him of some naughty behavior. Did you hear? He's going to take a DNA test. This was all over the Internet this week, and I think Camp Bieber was more concerned about it than we were.
