Pink Nips

• Our question here is: where was Axl Rose going to get $2.36 million in the first place? [Y!]

• Finally, the ancient order of senior citizens who are way too old be rocking out on stage have come to the U.S. [AP]

• Looks like Janet Jackson won’t be letting Justin Timberlake bring any sort of sexy back around her anymore. [NME]

Beck just wanted to remind everyone that he’s still batshit crazy. Again. [Pitchfork Media]

• Uhhh, Pink is the New Nips, anyone? [PITNB]

Mick Jagger

• It’s pretty easy to sell a million records these days. All you have to do is dress up like a high class escort from Vegas and move your hand up and down while singing. [NYDN]

• Um, we have a problem wrapping our brains around the notion that people are actually shocked MTV reality couples aren't staying married. [Page Six]

Jay-Z’s one of the hardest rappers alive … but even he can’t fuck with interior designers. [Much Music]

Ha. Everyone point and laugh at Panic! At the Disco. Having a hit album doesn’t make you cool guys. [AOL]

Mick Jagger is definitely too old to dance. Now we find he's also too old to sing. Maybe (just maybe!) he'll stop now? [AP]

Rolling Stones

This edition of On That Note is dedicated to any fellow backpackers who were left sans accommodations in Milan last week due to the flippin' Rolling Stones tour.

• Wait, so that whole "Mariah Carey making good music" thing wasn't just a fluke? Here's to hoping her next album doesn't have unicorns and rainbows on it. [Billboard]

Foxy Brown is having some personal assistant issues . [Page Six]

• Here's a ditty that'll take you back to 1999: Eminem was charged with assault! Flash forward to the present: the charge has since been dropped. Nice to see he's keeping his name out there. [Hiphop Game]

• Australians confirm they hate Barry Manilow even more than every girl named Mandy. [AP]

Justin Timberlake was all set to make his big-screen debut, but the only place we'll find his upcoming movie is on the straight to DVD rack. Ouch. [MTV]

Kate Moss

• No, he didn't say he was a terrorist, he said George Bush was a terrorist. But since our President lacks English language skills, he sent the FBI after Morrissey. [Page Six]

Strokes guitarist Albert Hammond Jr gets Kate Moss drunk, and whispers sweet nothings in her ear. Somebody should have told him that if he wanted her to take her shirt off, all he had to do was produce a camera . [Mirror]

• The key to the murder of Busta Rhymes' bodyguard is locked in a 53 minute audio tape. Insteady of handing it over to the authorities, though, it is being shopped around media outlets. Blood money at its finest. [Daily Dish]

• Even Maroon 5 agrees that it's sort of pathetic they were nominated for a Grammy three years after the album was released. Oh, well, it got Adam Levine laid. [MTV]

Pete Doherty has been voted Sexiest Male by NME readers, proving once and for all, the Brits have no taste in men. [NME]

The Rolling Stones ask nicely, if you donate money to charity and end up with tickets to their benefit show, that you don't sell them for thousands of dollars on Craigslist. So, basically, nobody's going for the tickets. [ProductShopNYC]

Rolling Stones

• One million people attended Saturday's Rolling Stones concert in Rio, leaving behind lots of trash, a few broken ear drums, and loads of regret. Not to mention a fear of aging. [CNN]

• We just can't figure out why nobody wants to be on Michael Jackson's Katrina album. At least he could get Snoop to participate, though. We know that hearing a song from an accused child molester and a self proclaimed weedman will inspire those hurricane victims to hang on. [Billboard]

Spike Lee doesn't really like 50 Cent's message, but he doesn't really like any message that's not rabidly pro-Knicks, obsessively pro-Brooklyn, or anti-everything else. [R&M]

• If you're bored and love YouTube (doesn't everyone?), check out this music video contest. The winner gets a (hopefully redeemable) trip to New York, some money, and, we assume, 15 seconds of internet fame. [YouTube]

• Frustrated with the limited lexis of pop music, a Swedish man has created a website where stars will say anything you tell them to, in their own voice. How fantastic! Now Britney Spears' fans have a decent outlet for their awesomely extensive vocabulary. [MTV]

• Why would anyone fight over Mya? Seriously. We don't get it. [Page Six]

Funny, we thought the Rolling Stones were performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, not Michael Jackson.

Mick Jagger

Did Mick Jagger's flamboyant dance numbers frighten any other God fearing Christians, or just us?

Mick Jagger

Great news! The NFL is letting 2,000 people watch the Rolling Stones play at this year's Super Bowl. And by "watch" they mean jump around like a bunch of spastic idiots. The only catch is that you have to be at least 15 years younger than Mick Jagger. So, if that's you, grab 19 of your friends under the age of 45, and sign up here.

The NFL says the reason for the age cutoff is that the job is physically challenging. Volunteers must enter and exit the field quickly and be on their feet for long periods. They will not have seats and will wait in a tunnel under Ford Field for most of the first half.

Participants also must attend up to five rehearsals that could last seven hours each.

Sounds really, really fun guys. Unfortunately, we don't know 20 people, otherwise we would soo be there.

Mariah Carey
• Because songs about pimpin' don't really put people in the Christmas mood, Mariah Carey's albums outsold 50 Cent in 2005. Mimi better watch her back. [MTV]

• This year's Rolling Stones tour was the most profitable tour of all time, outselling U2's Vertigo tour, and proving that rich corporate box seat types are the only ones who can still afford to go to concerts. [NME]

• Um, cuz there is absolutely nothing going on (and for some unknown reason everyone is still at work) Mick Jagger buying a new home in London is gossip. Page Six gossip. [Page Six]

• What better way to restore order in Jamaica than to keep on jammin'? [MSNBC]

Kill Reality

• Normally, reality show producers have to use trick editing to produce scathing plotlines. And then there's E!'s Kill Reality, which was sultry enough by itself to bring about the uncensored DVD compliment. [Fresh Intelligence]

• Is there a little White Stripe on the way? Reports claim Jack White and supermodel Karen Elson may be expecting. A rep refused to comment, natch. [Page Six]

• The Rolling Stones hope to bring satisfaction to daytime drama viewers, premiering their new song "Streets of Love" on Days of Our Lives next week. But don't expect to see Mick and the boys scarfing Gramma Horton's homemade doughnuts .. the tune will be used as background music only. [NYP]

Keanu Reeves newfound love with Diane Keaton is obviously blinding him. From hygiene, for instance. [Cityrag]

• While the New York Times rambles on about how post-9/11 terrorism communication is still flawed, where are all the accusations that Mayor Michael Bloomberg used the subway threat to steal attention for his campaign? [NYT]

OK! magazine might've paid $3 million for Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher's wedding photos, but the video rights went to someone else. [Four1Six]
