Quickies: Tuesday, January 18 2011

> Moe's bargoes gay (and is re-dubbed Mo's bar) on The Simpsons.

> Lady Gagaset to debut a new song (kind of -- it's been specially remixed for the occasion) from her upcoming Born This Way at Wednesday's Thierry Mugler fashion show in Paris. Start refreshing the Lady Gaga search page on YouTube right now!

> Kanye Westtakes to Twitter (again) to assert that his (now infamous) Tweet congratulating Britney Spears for hitting number one on the iTunes chart was sincere and not a bitter, jealous swipe at the pop star for beating him to the top.

> Starbucks giving us just what Americans need -- more sugar, caffeine, and calories: introducing their biggest size yet, the Trenta.

> America's favorite TV star is... Mark Harmon. (Um, what?)

> John Travolta takes Kirstie Alley on a shopping spree for her birthday (this "girls day out" trip to the mall thing probably isn't the best way to battle those "John Travolta is gay" rumors, but oh well, it sounds like fun).
