Daily Buzz Bits: Mariah's Got Gifts, Miley's Got "7 Things"

 

Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford poses for a GQ summer fashion spread. Hey, these pics are much better than those cowboy ones from back in the day! - ONTD

I love that these two are friends: Newlywed Mariah Carey went on Ellen bearing super-girly gifts for her Ellen and Portia. We can't all pull off the poof, Mimi. - PopCrunch

The London Sex and the City premiere offered underwear models for Kristen - and a butterfly garden on SJP's head for everyone else. – Queerty

It's not "4 Minutes"; it"s "7 Things," OK? If you listen to Miley Cyrus' new track, keep in mind it's no "See You Again" – and it features lyrics, 'If you text it, I'll delete it.' - PopEater

Elizabeth Berkeley spoke with Page Six about Showgirls, calling it a 'no-brainer' on paper. We feel the same way, Nomi. - ONTD

 

I Want to Believe in The New X-Files Trailer

-- Dorothy Snarker from AfterEllen.com

I want to believe … in the new X-Files movie. As a fan since the early '90s (Hey, remember those? Good times.), I watched nearly religiously until 1998 when something funny happened. I went to see The X-Files movies. While I liked the film, it was my jump-the-shark moment. Afterward, I felt like all the twists and turns in its convoluted conspiracy were too much come-on, not enough pay-off.

So now, with the new The X-Files: I Want to Believe opening July 25, I'm not sure whether that old paranormal magic will work on me again. Can Scully and Mulder make me believe, one last time?

I wasn't sure. And then I saw the trailer today. (If you don't like squinting, watch it on this Web site and click on "View High Res.")

The Ting Tings "That's Not My Name" - Plus Full Album Stream!

 

This new British electro-pop duo totally just snuck in on me: The Ting Tings sound is so well-packaged and catchy and ... pop-solvent to me, yet I know nothing about them. Well, I know they've had lots of live-show buzz and that the band consists of Katie White and Jules De Martino - and I know Jules is registering pretty gay. But that's just me...

Check out the video for "That's Not My Name," the band's first single from debut album We Started Nothing. (I love it when Jules starts layering on the back-up vocals.) And if you're liking this, check out the video for "Great DJ" after the jump, as well as the the full album preview on LOGOonline. We've got your hookup, Joleisa!
