The discovery of significant amounts of water on the moon a few days ago was a key moment in the history of space exploration. But we're guessing there's a different kind of New Moon info that's more likely to send you into orbit, what with Monday's big Twilight sequel premiere in Los Angeles and all.

Which got us to thinking, do icy moon rocks rock your world, or do you favor icy-hot vampires? OK, we've got a pretty good guess which way you're leaning on this, but let's keep things scientific and you tell us in the poll below.

Taste the frenzy as it builds with our New Moon: World Tour Madness gallery.

Mimi has really come to play on her version of Foreigner's rock-ballad classic "I Want to Know What Love Is." She's scouting the elusive "L" in a packed baseball stadium, watching her tiny self sing in the center of the diamond from the huge video replay monitors.

If the setting is grandiose, her musical taste is clearly down-to-earth. She shows restraint in the verses and the first chorus with a breathy, emotional voice, before the inevitable pyrotechnics later in the song: the gospel choir eruption, hitting the dog-whistle high notes, the naked emotionalism mixed with amazing technical accomplishment—you know, the whole Mariah Carey thing.

It definitely microwaves our burrito, but what did you think? Is this an instant classic or instantly forgettable cheese? Let us know in the comments section.

According to reports, oft-rehabbed Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler may split from the group to work on solo projects. Isn't that like the sun taking time off to work on solar issues? In other words, doesn't it seem like Aerosmith is pretty much of a Tyler solo project already? But who knows, maybe Joe Perry and the other guys, whoever they are, are better off without that knockoff Jagger dude (Jagger-off?).

Clearly, these waters are too deep for us, so help us out and let us know if you think the classic rockers should continue to "Dream On" and "Walk This Way" and whatnot.

Picturesque trainwreck Lindsay Lohan might not be able to afford many more lip injections if reports of getting dropped by her record label are true. And that's the good news!

According to FoxNews.com and the New York Post, not only has onetime singer Lohan been dropped by Casablanca Records, it has also been revealed that her high-profile (and widely panned) fashion gig for Ungaro is a freebie. The Post's Page Six column reports that Lindsay even paid for her own hotel and flight to Paris for her recent appearance for Ungaro's Paris Fashion Week show—though she did reportedly cart off $100,000 worth of Ungaro clothes.

What's a girl to do when her main job is a glorified internship? Well, what about a reality show?

If you're like us, you spent your weekend wondering about Balloon Boy's next move. What? You have a life? We envy you.

For our part, we've been pondering the options available to B.B. (aka Falcon Heene), especially in light of the criminal charges facing his parents.

Looking like a house-music Matt Damon, Nick Jonas (and the Joni) crank it up and prank it up with Demi Lovato (and other pals) in this spin-sational dance spoof. Nick rocks a way-bogus 'stache to maximum comic effect and offers this inspirational lyric: "My jeans are so tight, it makes these people dance." Wow, that's tight!

America's Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff clearly has a talent...for bad publicity, if nothing else. According to reports, the Baywatch bruiser and popular-in-Germany crooner had too much to drink and slugged the doctor at his London hotel after returning from Simon Cowell's birthday bash.

The semireliable New York Post and the oft-dubious U.K. Sun report that Hasselhoff was actually trying to slug his assistant for calling the doctor. According to a source close to the actor, "David was furious and lashed out at him—but he mistakenly hit the doctor."

OK, so she's no threat to LL Cool J or Eminem or even T-Pain, but Miley Cyrus knows how to rap a little bit in a corny-cool old-school style and she knows how to milk a moment like nobody's business. As we reported yesterday, Miley pulled the plug on her Twitter account and now she spills the deets to the beats. A sample:

"Yeah, you write what you're doing but who really cares/If I'm playing with Noah or just doing my hair/Everything that I type and everything I do/All those lame gossip sites take it and they make it news."

So what if she's a Twitter quitter, we're not bitter. Hey, are those backup dancers, or just her babysitters? Peace-out!

Here's a public option everyone can get behind! Funnyman Jimmy Kimmel enlists hip-hop star T-Pain to remix President Obama on health care. T-Pain utillizes his slick Auto-Tune iPhone application to turn standard speechifying into hip-hop health care in no time flat. Maybe if Obama had used T-Pain's Auto-Tune app in Copenhagen, he could have sung Chicago to an Olympic win.

Obviously, it's been a bad week for surprise(d) ladies' man David Letterman. But that doesn't mean it's a bad week for talk show hosts in general. Case in point, Jay Leno gets in on some of Dave's hot action, gingerly mocking his talk show rival and former pal in last night's monologue (see video above). And it seems like Leno knows a little bit about blackmail himself.

Jay also comes clean by saying he's never had sex...at least not with any of his staff. An admission that has unexpected repercussions. Check it out.

Late Night's Jimmy Fallon also got in on the action with this gag: "There's a new book out called Why Women Have Sex that says there are 237 reasons why women have sex. And folks, Letterman knows the top 10."

We're guessing that next week is gonna be tough for Letterman, too.

Über-hottie Megan Fox got oodles of good bad press recently when she compared her Transformers director Michael Bay to Hitler (and said sundry other crazy things). But now a few crew members have decided to teach the Jennifer's Body star a lesson by giving her more publicity, in the form a long open letter posted on the Transformers site. It's pure genius of the moron kind!

The crew's A-game is name-calling. They call her "dumb as a rock" and the "queen of talking trailer trash and posing like a porn star," not to mention "grumpy" and "thankless, classless, graceless." And on and on and on.

The public spanking letter was ultimately yanked down by Bay (but you can read the whole thing here via PerezHilton.com). But the director went on to show the crew nerds how these things are properly done, posting on the site:

"I don't condone the crew letter to Megan. And I don't condone Megan's outlandish quotes. But her crazy quips are part of her crazy charm. The fact of the matter is I still love working with her, and I know we still get along. I even expect more crazy quotes from her on Transformers 3."

Now that's how you transform bad publicity into something good.

If you're driving anywhere with your family this weekend, we're guessing that however many kids you have seems like plenty. That's not so in the media, of course, where more is always better.

Way back in the day, Eight Is Enough tried to gently alert us to the vicissitudes of excess reproduction, but even Dick Van Male-Pattern Baldness couldn't prepare us for today's supersized realities. There's something vaguely lurid in our contemporary gawking, as we're undeniably glued to the tube (and "the Intertubes") to keep abreast of all the latest über-brood brouhahas. Which prompts the question:
