Best links of the week

Last updated 08:00 23/07/2009

megs1. Jennifer's Body trailer: Can Megan Fox actually act? Judging by the trailer for her new film Jennifer's body, it appears the jury is still out. Surprisingly, this was written by Juno's Diablo Cody. Due October 29.

2. Beastie Boys cancer announcement: One of them potentially has cancer, and they can still laugh about it. Get well soon, Adam Yauch.

3. Mayor - Pac Div: They're friends with The Cool Kids, love old school hip-hop and sample what sounds like Run DMC on their debut single. Get ready to wave your hands in the air like you just don't care to Pac Div.

4. Battle in Seattle trailer: Martin Henderson, go you good thing.

5. Strawberry Swing - Coldplay: Chris Martin becomes a cape-wearing superhero in this actually-quite-cool clip from some dude called Shynola. The song was way better live.

6. The Vintner's Luck trailer: Keisha Castle-Hughes grows up in this story about wine, women and - possibly - song. Directed by Niki Caro and due for release November 12.

7. To Kingdom Come - Passion Pit: I've never seen a video fit more with a song than this, the latest from the happiest band in the world, Passion Pit. Very cool.

8. The Present Tense - Thom Yorke: A soft, tender new song from Radiohead's Thom Yorke, recorded during the Latitude Festival. That sounds like Limp Bizkit playing in the background.

9. The Fixer - Pearl Jam: Amid rumours Pearl Jam will be performing in New Zealand this November (a Hit List reader suggested the 27th will be the date) they drop their new single. Not bad, not bad at all.

10. Curb Your Enthusiasm - Season seven teaser: The seventh season of television's best comedy show is set to air in September in the US, and will feature none other than Jerry, George, Elaine and Kramer.

Seen anything cooler than these? Post your own links below.

Jennifers Body looks ok. Amanda Siegfried is a real class act, and this is a huge step.... sideways? from Mama Mia. The cigarette lighter to the tongue scene is destined to become a classic.

Sorry to bust your balls, but Meggy can't act and her voice is annoying. Hasn't she had lessons? And what's funny is, Amanda's lips are bigger than Megan's and hers are all natural! hehehehehehehe... funny. Amanda is gorgeous, better looking than old Meggy.

Fab choices as ever (will explore them more when not at work ...), God I love Curb. Larry David is HAWT.

My favourite music at the moment is Dan Black, the song Symphonies is a dream, a bit electro and a lot romantic. The video is genius, very filmic http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L34HL6vEYAA Think I'm going to have to get his album cos every track I've heard is a winner

If Pearl Jam come to NZ my mind may explode. Curb your enthusiasm looks really funny too. Hope it has Leon in it

Uh i guess by acting you mean acting exactly the same as in everything else she's in?

# David Stubbs - the Blacks are back for S.7 of Curb; saw Vivica Fox interviewed on the subject.

Hubby has been drooling all over the Jennifers Body trailer for a few weeks now. (I don't think it has anything to do with Megans acting ability).

A 7th season of CYE?? You're kidding me. I honestly think that is the WORST show ever.

Shynola is actually a group of visual artists, not one 'dude'.

Cheers Simon, that is some good news right there
