• Know your Mustangs? (Disregard the hidden bro shots. Arg.)

• Isn't it great when you hit a wall of clarity at full speed, and all of a sudden, everything makes perfect sense? Ahh ...

• Jillian Michaels is absolutely terrifying.

• I've been glued to the Logo Network about as often as the Travel Channel, Food Network and TLC. (They featured Elvira Kurt in a documentary; what's not to love?)

• "...when it comes to the important stuff, secrets damage relationships." That's a Ph.D. talking. Read the whole article once you've retrieved your jaw from the floor.

• I have a new found excitement for apple doughnuts. Mmm ...

• I also love cameos. And I'm not the only one.

• I know I've been raving about Wayne Coyne more often lately than... well, more often than I rave about anyone. But the more I read about him, the more fascinating he becomes. A couple of great quotes from an interview in next month's SPIN magazine:

"The idea that you just make the music and some guys set up all your stuff -- that works great for Thom Yorke," Coyne says. "But for me, everything we do up there is about us. From the dumb carpet we stand on to the video. I'd just be too frazzled if I wasn't up there making sure all these little things go right." ...

But as Coyne puts it, "I've always viewed this as part of the show. You're gonna see us set up our stuff, see exactly how this works. You are gonna know that this is not magic. And yet, when the music stars, it's still gonna destroy you." ...

"Life has a lot of nuances, " [Coyne said.] "I felt like if I was messed up on drugs, I was missing those nuances. Plus, you see the way I am: I like to be in control."

Read (most of) the article here. And if you need further proof of why Coyne is more worthy (and appreciative) of your admiration than the average whiny rockstar, check out the interview in the same issue with The Strokes' Julian Casablancas for contrast. Eek.

Happy Tuesday.
