iCarly star/singer Miranda Cosgrove and her Dancing Crazy Tour members had a scare this morning, when their bus crashed into an overturned tractor-trailer on the road in Illinois. Fortunately, no one was killed, though Miranda broke her ankle and has to postpone the rest of her tour. But they got off easy compared to the plenty of celebrity tour buses have gotten into grislier accidents, often claiming the lives of innocent bystanders. More

Vulture has a good write-up of the new Weezer song, which is actually an ad for State Farm Insurance. Basically, as a former Weezer superfan, I’m like “Yeah! This is some good, classic Weezer! Yeah, I’m gonna put this on my iPod and listen to it three times a day. Oh, wait? It’s selling me car insurance? Figures.” More
Rivers Cuomo does his best Beach Boys in front of a piano, and in return, we do our best us: swooning over Rivers Cuomo in front of a computer. Watching this kind of makes us feel like we’re going through puberty all over again, except this time we’re actually old enough to act on all those Rivers fantasies. More

Man wants to pay Weezer $10 million to break up – Some dude is really mad at Rivers Cuomo. James Burns started an online fundraiser to try and persuade the band to call it quits. So far? He’s raised 12 bucks. (PopEater)

Maybe you missed it yesterday (too busy eating all the ice-cream in the world for that made up holiday, National Singles Week, were we?), but Lost‘s Jorge Garcia — the titular Hurley of the upcoming Weezer album — joined Rivers Cuomo and the rest of the band on-stage to perform “Perfect Situation.” Jeez, and he’s a good singer to boot!

When it was announced that Weezer’s new album was going to be named Hurley, and would feature a picture of Lost‘s Jorge Garcia on the cover, people flipped out. Because if there’s one thing America can get together on, it’s shows about smoke monsters and guys who stay unreasonably overweight on a desert island for six years. Just sayin’!
