Much love to the programmers at HBO who've put new episodes in advance on HBO OnDemand. I held out 3 days but finally gave in and got my fix tonight.

For those who love the show, here's semi-spoilers.

McNulty proceeds head long in to his homeless serial killer angle. Bunk wants no part of it. Strangely, Lester does. The big question is who's the next victim?

Marlo gets a hold of his finances with the help of Prop Joe, continues his quest to make friends with The Greeks, and then aims to draw out Omar by killing Butchie (blind bar owner).

Chris and Snoop seem a little uneasy about facing Omar.

Michael has some R&R with his brother and Dukie at Great Adventure.

The Baltimore Sun makes cut backs. Editor Gus must do more, with less. Scott is busy making up quotes while Alma is working the beat for a real story.

The Grand Jury is meeting on Senator Clay Davis and it's not looking good. Clay tries to go to his friends for support but he's hotter than hell so no one wants to touch him. Poor Clay...Shiiiiiiit!

Major Valchek (season 2/3) brings Carcetti the real murder stats while Commissor Burrell doesn't. Carcetti plants a story in the Sun about replacing Burrell with Daniels. Burrell is pissed, Rawls is pissed. But Daniels is livid because he knows Burrell has a file on him.

Finally, we find Omar chilling with his boyfriend in the sun. He's alerted to Butchie's death and starts to pack his bags...we assume.

Course you'll have to move to Yonkers. And submit a video why you should win.

From 7 ABC news: A developer in Yonkers is turning to YouTube to drum up tenants for a new 10-story luxury building with an online contest called “I gotta Move.”

Why Youtube? According to a spokesperson “We're looking to attract…the right demographic who uses YouTube.” Translation: Single Income no kids (SINKs).

So all you cool twenty somethings who, for some reason, want to forgo the pulse of Manhattan and bop to the beat of Yonkers, check out 66 main.

Yesterday I spent some time talking on the phone with someone who used to work at iVillage, and it led to a discussion of the types of content women search for online. My assumption was "recipes, healthcare, childcare and games". He then told me that it was almost a legendary inside joke that the two biggest search terms on iVillage were perpetually "Chicken" and "Fellatio".

Which reminded me of Jerry Hall's quote:

My mother said it was simple to keep a man, you must be a maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen and a whore in the bedroom. I said I'd hire the other two and take care of the bedroom bit.

Me? I feel like Chicken Tonight, Chicken Tonight, Chicken Tonight.

As you sit back and dig into Season 7 of America Idol, know that there's a little scandal brewing about the number of contestants who aren't exactly what you'd call "undiscovered talent". Read the full article on Votefortheworst.com, the site that tried desperately to keep Sanjay in the running last year (and, as an aside, Sanjay doing a "It's 10pm, do you know where you children are?" promo for Fox REALLY creeped me out.)

According to them, at least 14 of the rumored 50 contestants going to Hollywood have previous professional experience as singers. The key offender is Carly Hennesy, pictured above, on the cover of her debut album. This is a girl who's had a deal, put out an album, made a video, and has been on Idol before - Season Five.

More tellingly, she seems to be a favorite of the producers, and has songs on her album written by songwriters who've also worked with - wait for it - Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken and Kimberley Locke. You start to smell a rat here?

It could be said "hey, what does it matter? All singers have a MySpace page and a video these days, some even have put out albums". But Idol is one of the most influential TV shows in America, and they seem to be planting artists on the show that they've worked with before and want to win. As VoteForTheWorst says:

So what’s wrong with this? Well, it’s forcing Idol to expose its hand as the premiere marketing tool for struggling artists. Instead of discovering the next big superstar, music executives are deciding who should be popular and getting them on to Idol. Many people watch American Idol because they think they can help make the next big music star out of an Everyday Joe or Jane. But Carly and her large number of has-been companions are merely failed artists who are being planted on the show by their sources to promote themselves. Would the hundreds of thousands of people who auditioned this year be happy to learn that their spot was given to someone who already had connections?

But that's not even the most blatant. What about Jermaine Paul (who made it to Hollywood but seemingly has since dropped out)?

The biggest plant of all, Jermaine was already signed to J Records (home of Clive Davis, he who signs most of the winning Idols) and was nominated for a Grammy for a duet with Alicia Keys on her second album. Alicia Keys is known as Clive Davis’s most recent pet project.

I can't believe I'm admitting this, but this actually makes me pretty angry. Where's my Prozac?

On January 16, Italian artist Graziano Cecchini pulled off the Sony Bravia colored ball thing on the Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy. He claimed that it was done to bring attention to the situation of the Karen people in Burma, and as a protest against the conditions of artists in Italy.

Like the SONY Bravia ad, he let loose hundreds of thousands of colored balls to create a very dramatic effect. Unlike the ad, he didn't let anyone know about it beforehand. Local authorities weren't amused.

Lasagna Cat is one man's attempt to recreate every Garfield comic strip using real people. And if that isn't odd enough, he then turns each one into a music video. Makes perfect sense.
