Singled Out: Official Hot Mess' Money Makes the Girl$ Go Round
Today Official Hot Mess tell us about their new song "Money Makes the Girl$ Go Round," which was recently voted the No 1 video on MTV.com. Here is the story:

Money Makes the Girl$ Go Round' is a sassy and playful party song that we wrote with an underlying contemporary and ironic twist on the classic phrase from 'Cabaret.' The sarcasm and little bit of humor in the lyrics infused with the kitchy synth elements and rock guitars make it come alive.

The real life situation that inspired the idea for our song, "Money Makes the Girl$ Go Round", was during our performance at the Playboy Mansion with Kevin Rudolf. After our set, we were just hanging out and doing some intense "people-watching" lol. Clearly, some of the events we witnessed were very entertaining…and definitely inspirational in the writing process. Listen to the lyrics and use your imagination ;-)

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself right here!

Charlie Sheen Borrowed $10 Million
(TMZ) Charlie Sheen -- who scored the biggest paycheck in TV before getting the boot -- had to borrow a huge amount of money from Warner Bros. during his last season on "Two and a Half Men."

TMZ has obtained Charlie's contract for Season 7 (2010 - 2011). The document -- dated May 17, 2010 -- requires Warner Bros. to pay Charlie $10 million within 10 days of the date Charlie signed. Charlie was then obligated to pay the money back during the first 13 episodes.

To repay the loan, Sheen -- who was getting a base pay of $1.25 million a show -- had $769,230.77 deducted from each paycheck for the first 13 episodes. But then there's this pesky issue of interest. Under the deal, the interest -- calculated at the prime commercial rate -- would be deducted from the 14th paycheck. more on this story
