• Excellent, and highly amusing, piece in The Guardian responding to the apparent departure of Steven Tyler from Aerosmith. Who will replace him? They suggest Janice from Dr. Teeth And The Electric Mayhem, among others.
• The New York Times takes a look at the Dreamgirls revival at the Apollo Theater. (Note that another American Idol alum, Syesha Mercado, is involved, continuing the Jennifer Hudson tradition.)
• Last night, on Dancing With The Stars, Donny Osmond performed the paso doble to "You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)" while dressed up like Adam Ant. And that is, believe it or not, not the best part. The best part is that Gawker thought he was supposed to be Michael Jackson. So try to drop that into conversation today, if you can: "Donny Osmond wasn't dressed like Michael Jackson, youngster. He was dressed like Adam Ant."
• I didn't even know it was a secret that nude art is sexy, but apparently now, it's okay to admit it. The Washington Post says so.
There can never be enough Oscar speculation, or enough ABC cancel/pickup gossip, or enough of Matthew Weiner talking about Mad Men, after the jump.
• ABC continues trying to figure out its fall schedule, ordering a modest five additional episodes of struggling drama The Forgotten, while canceling struggling-even-more drama Eastwick.
• More Oscar speculation, you say? More? There's a piece at The Wrap arguing that it's already way too easy to guess the ten Best Picture nominees, meaning that doubling the number hasn't done anything to make it all seem less predictable.
• Still eager for scoop on that Mad Men finale? What seems to be the single interview from creator Matthew Weiner on the season and that last episode is at The Daily Beast.
