IN THE DARK: Caleb Followill performs with Kings of Leon at Auckland's Vector Arena.

Relevant offers

1. Radioactive - Kings of Leon: They're back, they've found God and joined forces with a gospel band. Just kidding. But there is an extra Southern bite to Kings of Leon's new single - from upcoming fifth album Come Around Sundown - that wasn't always evident on their hit-filled last album. Anyone else feel like firing up the BBQ?

2. Bed intruder song - Antoine Dodson: Antoine Dodson became an instant YouTube sensation after his hilarious interview about an alleged rapist gets turned into a heavily AutoTuned song. All together now: "He's climbing in your window, he's snatching yo' people up ... so hide your wife, hide your kids." Actual tears.

3. Punch in the face - The X-Factor: Two besties come to blows and become mortal enemies in front of Simon Cowell and co after a disasterous and awfully out-of-tune live performance on The X-Factor. Ouch.

4. Trailer: It's Kind of a Funny Story: Zach Galafianakis and the weird kid from United States of Tara team up for this Juno-style comedy about mental illness. Is it safe to laugh at the sick yet?

5. Superbad: Performed by cartoon bunnies, in under 30 seconds. I'm McLovin' it.

6. Trailer: Love and Other Drugs: Oh oh, it's another romantic comedy starring Anne 'are her eyes really that big?' Hathaway. But it's about viagra, and Jake Gyllenhaal has some interesting dating tips for the guys. Due out January 1.

7. Barricade - Interpol: Here's the new one from New York's dark overlords Interpol. Pull up your hoodie, light a candle, think depressing thoughts and nod your head in time. Then go put some eyeliner on.

Ad Feedback

8. Trailer: 127 Hours: Here's the new one from Slumdog Millionaire's Danny Boyle. It's about caving, stars James Franco, and will probably stop you from sliding down steep cliff faces ever again.

9. Trailer: Fair Game: Shh, Naomi Watts is a super spy, and nobody knows...

10. Runaway Love (remix) - Justin Bieber: Here's the much-hyped remix Kanye West did of Justin Bieber's Runaway Love. No, wait, come back! Raekwon's on it. On second thought's, that's not really enough to save this, so keep running.

11. Trailer: Buried: I don't know about you, but every time I see this I feel very claustrophobic.

12. Trailer: Jack Goes Boating: Philip Seymour Hoffman directs and stars in this whimsical tale that also includes Michael Scott's ex-girlfriend. You know, from The Office.
