If ever an internet meme was guaranteed success - it's this. Christopher Walken reads out the lyrics to Lady Gaga's smash hit 'Poker Face'.

Next week, Robert De Niro does Lily Allen's 'Fuck You'.

Arf.

Nature can be cruel sometimes. Now that Julian Casablancas is looking all healthy and sleek, his Strokes bandmate Albert Hammond Jr seems to have gone drastically bald, if this cameo clip from a recent episode of 'Gossip Girl' is anything to go by.

It inspired us to think of a few Strokes-related hair loss puns.

1. 'Shave It Or Leave It'.

2. 'Hard To Explain' (My Sudden Baldness).

3. Er...

3. Can you think of any others?

Behold: a fresh-faced and (relatively) make-up free Lady GaGa, before she let a child choose her wardrobe each morning from the burst suitcases spilling from the ripped fuselage of a wrecked plane.

This footage is presumably taken from 2004-2005, around the time of her abortive signing to Def Jam, back when she was still more of an angsty, Alanis Morrissette-style singer-songwriter, rather than a hyper-sexual future-pop android.

A while back we showed you footage of Iggy Pop immortalised in Lego for the forthcoming video game 'Lego Rock Band'.

Turns out Blur are in the game too. It's all a long way from Alex James blowing a million quid on champagne and cocaine...

The full tracklisting is here. Below you can watch the Lego-Blur blasting through 'Song 2'.

We wouldn't normally alert you to a contrived viral video to promote a band's single, but this one's quite impressive in terms of sheer ingenuity.

Basically it's a giant version of 'Guitar Hero', blown up to Peter Crouch-size and controlled with footballs. The partcicipants have to hit the targets in perfect time to keep up with the song, Kasabian's 'Underdog'.

Hey, it beats Calvin Harris' 'humanthesizer'.
