:: Lily Allen will be the subject of a new reality show that will chronicle her latest endeavor, the opening of a designer clothes rental shop called Lucy in Disguise. Apparently she succumbed to “The Fear” of becoming unable to pay rent once she stops releasing new albums. [Spinner]

:: Leona Lewis takes a break from riding the coattails of Avatar and instead rides a horse. [Just Jared]

:: Ludacris filled in for Regis Philbin on Live with Regis & Kelly and found how how low Kelly Ripa could go. (Answer: pretty low.) [Rap-Up]

:: The-Dream plans to retire once his upcoming album Love King drops. We believe this as much as we believe Jay-Z’s last three retirement announcements. [The Boombox]

:: Madonna’s first-ever clothing line will include a tween collection inspired by her daughter, Lourdes. (Plans include a “Material Girl” apparel collection and the “Truth Or Dare” underwear line). Here’s hoping she spends more than 4 minutes on the design. [Blackbook]

VIDEO REWIND OF THE DAY: It’s Joel and Benji Madden’s 31st birthday today, so let’s celebrate the twins’ big day with Good Charlotte’s music video for “Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous.” The single, released in 2002, was the band’s biggest hit here in the States, peaking at #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. (The rockers built a much bigger fan base in Down Under—their 2007 song “Dance Floor Anthem (I Don’t Want To Be In Love)” reached #2 on the Australian charts).

It’s ironic the brothers recorded a song with the title “Lifestyles Of The Rich & Famous” since both of them would end up dating two of the most prominent figures to grace the pages of modern day gossip rags. Joel is the proud poppa of two children with fiance Nicole Richie, while Benji is probably still trying to wash off the remnants of his nine-month relationship with Paris Hilton.

(Keep your eyes peeled for a cameo from N Sync’s Chris Kirkpatrick as a saucy witness named Chadwick Merryweather Hardy III.)

Have a great day!

We’ve watched Dakota Fanning grow up on camera, so we pretty much regard her as our make-believe little sister. Our sweet, innocent, goody-two-shoes little sister. Which must be why watching D-Fan thrust, strut and shake in barely-there lingerie (not to mention be grabbed and groped by a guy) in this The Runaways video montage makes us feel, well, icky. You’ve already heard Dakota rock out as Cherie Currie on the film’s soundtrack—now you can watch the sixteen-year old in action after the jump. Just be prepared to feel super uncomfortable when you realize how much you enjoy it.

Dakota Fanning – “Cherry Bomb”

To be fair, this isn’t the first time this week we’ve felt awkward watching a teen star cross into more mature musical territory. But we think Dakota does a great job capturing Currie, and her courage to tackle such a sexual, gutsy role so early in her career indicates that she’ll more than likely transition into adult roles seamlessly.

How do you think of Dakota’s performance? Here’s the actual Cherie Currie rocking out to “Cherry Bomb” at a 1977 concert in Japan, because we love comparing things with other things:

Biz Stone used an age-shortener to fit his birthday onto Twitter; Julia Allison tried doing math with her brain; and Ana Marie Cox attempted to flirt with Rahm Emanuel over basic cable. The Twitterati turned to tools of last resort.

Don't let the tricky phrasing of Twitter's Biz Stone fool you: Birthday boy has been acquainted with his 30s for quite some time.

Julia Allison, an actual business owner, continued to struggle with basic math.

GQ writer Ana Marie Cox adjusted the subtlety of her jokes to match the subtlety of her venue.

Twitter's Doug Bowman, designer, observed a user error in action.

Lefty logger John Aravosis learned to hate Democratic politicians just like his colleagues in the right-wing blogosphere. That's what the Congressional leadership might call "bridging both sides of the aisle."
