Young Werewolves Local goth/rockabilly outfit makes good by signing a licensing agreement with reality TV producers Bunim/Murray Productions, which means we'll be hearing a lot more of the Werewolves' music on MTV. Look for Road Rules and The Real World to take on Addams Family-esque overtones in the coming months!

Philly's love affair with reality television=IN no danger of ending anytime soon!

Young Werewolves=IN need of a big break, they just might have found their road to stardom!

OUT

Karen O and Spike Jonze True, they started dating only recently, but we're already sick of the news reports about this couple. Their hipster pedigrees are so pure, we just can't stand it. And if you play the who-are-their-exes-dating-now game, it just gets worse: Sofia Coppola, Jonze's ex-wife, is dating none other than Quentin Tarantino, and Karen--the lead singer of painfully hipster band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs--used to date the Liars' lead singer, Angus Andrew. It's Six Degrees of Separation, Indie Edition!

Sofia Coppola=will be OUT of favor if her next film about Marie Antoinette tanks. And with her one-note cousin Jason Schwartzman playing Louis, the odds aren't good!

Karen O=seen OUT in Miami after the Video Music Awards canoodling with Jonze. Get a room!

SO OUT, THEY'RE IN

White shoes after Labor Day We say, Serial Mom be damned--we'll wear our white patent-leather go-go boots with pride!

White shoes=hard to keep clean, but INdubitably appealing!

Kathleen Turner=OUTdid herself in that John Waters classic!
