This is what the Denny's Rockstar Favorites menu/promotion should have been. Not Jewel's Acoustic Smoked Chicken Quesadilla, or — dear lord, it hurts to type this — Hoobastank's Hooburrito. Give me Sonic Youth member and Ecstatic Peace head-honcho Thurston Moore at the register.

Never let it be said that the Black Eyed Peas are afraid to go big. Director Ben Mor meets the hip-pop act halfway between the planets Tatooine and Endor in this sci-fi romp, "Meet Me Halfway." The elaborate production boasts elephants, levitation, spacewalking, portals and Fergie, lots of Fergie, looking good as she lolls about the foliage. (PS: Don't tell Satriani, but this sounds kind of like Viva La Vida) --> watch "Meet Me Halfway"
