Some music news today: No Doubt is planning to regroup for an album and a tour. In an IM conversation on their site, guitarist Tom Dumont wrote "I have cabin fever. Maybe we should play some shows or something," to which Gwen Stefani responded, "I think we should go out now.

Pop shared the music video for the Gwen Stefani/Damien Marley collaboration "Now That You Got It," and it's not too bad. Mostly I just like the hyper-bright colors and video game-type backgrounds, since I think the song itself gets to be mind-numbingly repetitive. I like the reggae elements and chill vibe, but I wish Stefani would put a little "oomph" in her vocals.

The original cast of Dirty Dancing made it a beloved classic for many of us, but the lists submitted for last week's Recast challenge were just as impressive! I particularly liked Yiddidea's choice of Christian Bale for Johnny — his Newsies performance is still dear to my heart. And being a Zooey Deschanel fan, I can easily picture her playing Baby's sister Lisa, as suggested by WhiplashGirlchild, LaLa0428, Chancleta, and Yiddidea.

It's Gwen Stefani night on "American Idol" — but that doesn't mean we'll be suffering through renditions of "Hollaback Girl" and "Underneath It All" (though the idea of Sanjaya singing "Underneath It All" makes me giggle). Word is that the 10 remaining contestants will be performing songs by artists who have inspired Stefani. Some have speculated that the theme will bring lots of ska and new wave, but given that Stephanie said she would have done a song by Cyndi Lauper, Prince, or Donna Summer if she hadn't been voted off, it sounds like a broad selection.

Gwen Stefani just announced the dates of her Sweet Escape Tour, which kicks of April 22 in San Diego and continues with 40 shows through June. Opening acts include Akon and UK rapper Lady Sovereign, which is funny because I just saw Lady Sov quoted in Rolling Stone saying: "This year [in music] has been rubbish. Apart from me, it's just been sh*t."
