Idol, Sea Kittens, Clinton: What's the Buzz

Here's the buzz.

  1. Kara DioGuardi (+6,986%). The new fourth judge on "American Idol" managed to get along with the other three judges (including Simon Cowell), and as MTV.com reported, "gets it."
  2. Sea kittens (+571%). How to save the fish: Rename them after an adorable creature on land. That's the idea behind the plan from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals to rebrand water-dwellers — give them cuter names and people will be less likely to eat them.
  3. Lil' Kim (+527%). Lil' Kim isn't happy with a film about B.I.G. The late rapper and Kim's relationship is depicted in a new movie, "Notorious," but Kim says it's not accurate.
  4. Banana diet (+324%). It's a diet a monkey could love. To shed those post-holiday pounds, what won't we try?
  5. Hillary Clinton (+157%). The former First Lady wowed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee during her confirmation hearings for Secretary of State. Clearly impressed, Senator John Kerry said, "Her presence overseas will send the message that America is back." Despite concerns over potential conflicts of interest with overseas money coming from her husband's foundation, she is expected to be easily confirmed.
