GRIZZLY BEAR releases the second video from Yellow House, "Central and Remote" premiering at Subterranean.

NEW RELEASES:  Smashing Pumpkins, Spoon, Interpol, Nick Drake and more are streaming in full via Spinner.  Ex-Drive-By Trucker Jason Isbell releases his solo LP.

BUFFALO TOM also have a new release, from which you can stream a few tracks.  Band members talk to the Boston Globe and The Phoenix about their non-breakup and non-reunion.  (Thanks, Chromewaves.)

THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS:  John Linnell talks to PopMatters about working with the Dust Bros. and what he digs about making children's music.  The Else has been available on iTunes, but it hits stores today; you can stream the album via AOL.

ART BRUT frontman Eddie Argos surveys the UK music scene for Filter magazine.

LIVE EARTH may have been a TV ratings flop in the US and the UK (esp. among the 18-49 demo), but thanks to the InnerTube, you can see Spinal Tap and an army of bass players rock "Big Bottom" at Wembley.  Toss in "Gimme Some Money," which Pate covered a few times, and you have Twofer Tuesday.

PETE DOHERTY-KATE MOSS UPDATE:  The supposedly sober supermodel will be devastated to learn that another woman has claimed the troubled singer cheated on her while they were together.  The tabloids are now calling Doherty a sex addict.

DENISE & HEATHER & RICHIE & CHARLIE:  A "pal" of Denise Richards tells the NYDN she had been expecting Richie Sambora to propose on a romantic trip to Hawaii; instead, he broke up with her.  Ouch.

DAVID SPADE, recently linked with Heather Locklear, was getting kissed by Pam Anderson in Vegas over the weekend.

THE SPICE GIRLS will be accompanied by a therapist for the duration of their reunion tour, according to a report in the uber-reliable Daily Star Sunday.

MADONNA:  London's Mirror reports that US TV presenters who interviewed Madge at Live Earth were bizarrely ordered never to lose eye contact with her.

TONI COLLETTE:  The Oscar-nominated actress got knocked up after realizing her body clock was ticking.

NATALIE PORTMAN intimidated her Goyas Ghosts co-star, Javier Bardem: "She's so intelligent it's scary. When I was talking to her, I didn't know what to talk about because she knows a lot of things."  Well, yeah... she does neuroscience on the side.

MEGAN FOX:  The Transformers starlet tells Maxim magazine, "I've done drugs, and that's how I know I don't like them."  If you ended up dating Brian Austin Green, you would feel exactly the same way.  BTW, please note I'm paying attention to the interview, not just looking at the pictures.

TRANSFORMERS director Michael Bay tells Entertainment Weekly that he has a lot of ideas for a sequel.  Who'da thunkit?

MISS CONDUCT:  Miss New Jersey insists that she has no idea who might have assembled the packages of supposedly tame photos lifted from a private web page on Facebook, sent to two pageants last week.  Nor does she know what the pageant will do about it, if anything.  Ironically, she has adopted promoting Internet safety as part of her Miss America campaign.

IRAQ:  National Security Adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie said Sunday that Iraqi lawmakers have cut their planned two-month recess in half and will be working six-day weeks for the rest of this month to try to meet key political benchmarks set by the US Congress.  He also warned that a no-confidence vote against al-Maliki's government would result in a "hurricane in Iraq."  Iraq's foreign minister warned Monday that a quick US troop withdrawal could lead to civil war and the collapse of the Iraqi state.  Sunni Arab Vice President Tareq al-Hashemi, speaking to Reuters by telephone, warned of the security vacuum that would follow a US withdrawal, thus completing the trifecta -- the foreign minister is Kurdish and the NSA is Shia.  Turkey has massed 140K soldiers on its border with northern Iraq; the Iraqi foreign minister called Turkish fears of Kurdish rebels based in Iraq "legitimate" but better resolved through negotiation.  Iraqi and Arab media focused Monday on the recent clash between the Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki and the Sadrist Current.  Michael Yon has another dispatch from Baqubah on a variety of topics, including Gen. Petraeus's visit to the city and a revealing interview with an Iraqi stringer for the Associated Press.
