Glimpse the retro art after the jump. [SlashFilm]

· Even after his latest bout with substance abuse, Charlie Sheen's bail won't be revoked. High-fives all around. [TMZ]

· American Idol contestant Crystal Bowersox, who plays both guitar and harmonica, was once an established Chicago street musician. How's that for "authentic," DioGuardi? [ChicagoStreetMusicians.org]

· Conan O'Brien tweeted for the first time today: "Today I interviewed a squirrel in my backyard and then threw to commercial. Somebody help me." [Twitter]

· Howard Stern may never replace Simon Cowell on Idol, but he'll run his own "talent" contest, thanks much: a $100,000 Tiger Woods Mistress Beauty Pageant [EW]
