"We are the world" - Remake - Should it have ever been redone?

A remake of Michael Jackson's 'We Are the World' to benefit Haiti has Jay-Z a little upset. And I have to admit that while I'm not as publicly outraged I do believe that to remake the song takes away something from the charm of the original. I think that we should stop remaking things and create some original new music that can in itself last through the years as the original "We Are The World" song has.

As for Jay - Z he says "I have a interesting take on that," he tells MTV News. "I know everybody is gonna take this wrong: 'We Are the World,' I love it, and I understand the point and think it's great. But I think 'We Are the World' is like [Michael Jackson's] 'Thriller' to me. I don't ever wanna see it touched."

"I'm a fan of music. I know the plight and everything that's going on in Haiti. I applaud the efforts: [Millions have been raised] through text [donations] to Haiti. So I appreciate the efforts and everything, but 'We are the World' is [musically] untouchable like 'Thriller' is untouchable. Some things are just untouchable. It was a valiant effort, but for me, it's gonna be untouchable," the rap mogul added.

Can You Believe An 'Oceans 11'-Style Hit on Hamas Man?

11 members of an alleged hit squad, seen above.

Cue up the Mission Impossible theme music - this one reads like a story ripped out of an episode of Mission Impossible. The assassination, as described by Tamim, could have been pulled from any number of great spy movies like James Bond, The Bourne Idenity, a John le Carré novel or a Jerry Weintraub movie.

Just as commonly seen in Mission Impossible, the hit men and women apparently used false European IDs to get into the country and disguised themselves with beards and wigs while stalking their target. Al-Mabhouh, the founder of Hamas' military wing, was then ambushed and slain by team members who had sneaked into his hotel room.

Dubai's attorney general today issued an international arrest warrant against the alleged 11-strong hit squad that tailed and killed a top Hamas official in his hotel room on Jan. 20.

R.I.P. Doug Fieger

Doug Fieger, lead singer of rock group the Knack, died at 57 after a battle with cancer, his brother Geoffrey confirmed today.

“My Sharona,” spent six weeks at No. 1 in 1979. The hit single was perhaps best immortalized (or at least revitalized) via a hilarious impromptu gas station dance party in 1994’s Reality Bites.

Why Ashton Kusher "hates Valentine's Day."

Demi Moore, who once said that falling in love with Ashton Kutcher "caught us both by surprise," might also be shocked to learn that her husband dislikes the year's most romantic day.

"I hate Valentine's Day," Kutcher told Parade magazine. But he doesn't hate the lovey-dovey sentiment that is celebrated every Feb. 14: In fact, he feels quite the opposite.

"I think every day should be a day of romance," he said. "Then, on Valentine's Day, you should get to tell whoever you hate that you cannot stand them. There would be one day of hating, and 364 days of love."

Kutcher, who plays a florist who unexpectedly finds love in the upcoming movie "Valentine's Day," may have developed his disdain for the holiday as early as the third grade.

"There was this girl who sat in front of me who had the prettiest super-long hair," he said. "I was absolutely infatuated with her." But he experienced rejection when he gave the girl a very direct Valentine's Day, which read "Kiss Me."

"The tragedy was that she didn't get the point and I never got kissed," said Kutcher of his early disappointment.

Still the star's romantic streak has survived.

"I think the most romantic thing that I've done is travel a long way to another country for like an hour to see someone I loved and then turn around and go back because I had a commitment I couldn't cancel," he told Parade. "So it was literally not sleeping for two days, going through hell, just to see somebody for an hour."

Awwwww!
