GUYS, IT’S REALLY HAPPENING. Jason Bateman tweeted a photo from the “Arrested Development” set; AD theorists, start laying down what’s going to happen… now. (Vulture)
M.I.A. caused quite a stir when she, er, saluted America during Madonna’s halftime show performance, but she’s getting back into the swing of releases with a new album out this December. No word on the name yet, but it’ll feature her hit “Bad Girls.” (Billboard)
In more music news, Mumford and Sons are coming off of “Sigh No More” (and Marcus Mumford’s marriage to Carey Mulligan) with a new song, “I Will Wait.” (HuffPo Ents)
