Did You Hear?

:: Boy George writes a blog questioning how “occasional” Lady Gaga’s admitted drug use really is. “As a recovering addict who knows how dangerous ‘occasional’ use is, I can think of no reason for Gaga to reveal this to her young audience,” he writes. Once again, Gaga manages to shock Boy George very easily. [EW Music Mix]

:: M.I.A.’s video for her /\/\/\Y/\ track “Illy Girl”—what to watch when you want to induce motion sickness. Let’s forget this one ever happened. [Vulture]

:: Listen to a surprisingly sensual acoustic cover of Ke$ha’s “Take It Off” by a YouTube user. Somehow the lyric “Got my drunk text on” just doesn’t sound right without being sing-talked through Auto-Tune. [Jezebel]

:: What will be the opening line of Justin Bieber’s autobiography? Buzzworthy gives a few guesses, but we’re betting it’s a shout-out to Usher. [MTV Buzzworthy]

:: Ciara discusses media censorship of her “Ride” video and reveals that her dream collaborator is Janet Jackson. Who do we call to make that happen? [PAPER]
