Did You Hear?

:: Britney Spears sent Glee’s Heather Morris flowers for performing such a loyal tribute on the show’s “Britney/Brittany” episode. And Ryan Murphy should send Britney an entire flower shop for giving the show its best ratings ever. [E! Online]

:: Justin Timberlake talks about The Social Network and playing Napster’s Sean Parker, one of the key figures responsible for the popularity of illegally downloading music. Awkward role for a pop star, no? (Still not as awkward as these old pics.)  [Vulture]

:: A homeless guy—and two Kermit puppets—perform Freddie Mercury and David Bowie’s duet of “Under Pressure.” Somebody give this guy a home and a job working on Sesame Street. [Best Week Ever]

:: John Mayer explains he quit Twitter so he could focus on making “lasting art.” Because “Your Body Is A Wonderland” is on par with the Mona Lisa. [Just Jared]

:: Check out the list of Hip-Hop’s Best Makeovers. Who knew Jay-Z used to look like DJ Jazzy Jeff or that Drake used to look like captain of the chess club? [Hip-Hop Wired]

After the jump, check out which stars will be lighting up the tube tonight.
