Love It or Leave It: Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page Close the Olympics
Led Zeppelin alum Jimmy Page got together with British singing sensation Leona Lewis at the Olympics closing ceremony to perform a duet of "Whole Lotta Love."
There's a whole lotta think about here, like what an odd pairing this seems to be at first glance, and the fact that Leona is on stilts. When I hear her voice I think, "Pretty!"

- According to the L.A. Times blog Show Tracker, Lost scripts are littered with f-bombs!
- Speaking of Lost, PopCandy is all about the show today, and has a piece about Hurley's blog, which is hilarious.
- And because everyone seems to have Lost on the brain right now, go over to TV Squad for a video of all the flash-forwards seen so far on the show — in order. It's actually really helpful and interesting.
- Cinematical talks about the MoMA's screenings of the Bourne triology, which will be "accompanied by panel discussions with Bourne Identity director/franchise supervisor Doug Liman and an expert on neuroscience and memory."

Is Leona Lewis America's Next Super Diva?
As my girl in the UK pointed out, Leona Lewis' single "Bleeding Love" from her upcoming album Spirit is No. 1 on the American Billboard Hot 100 right now. Lewis is the winner of the British TV show X Factor and has folks like Simon Cowell and Clive Davis heavily invested in her success.
Singer to Watch: Estelle
As British sensation Leona Lewis hurtles towards the USA, there's another singer from across the pond whom I'm really excited about: Estelle. Although she's definitely reminiscent of other R&B singers like Erykah Badu and Lauryn Hill, Estelle's sound stands out as something entirely unique.
Her first album, The 18th Day, was a hit in the UK, and these days, she has all kinds of talent collaborating on her new album, Shine, including Wyclef Jean, will.i.am, Swizz Beats, Mark Ronson, John Legend and Kanye West.
