World Series of Pop Culture on VH1: The first rounds of the show are on, and contestants are in a battle of wits and knowledge of useless information. That's OK. More people know what Belinda Carlisle wore in her “Heaven is a Place on Earth” video than who's the new prime minister of Britain (Gordon Brown, btw. We wouldn't leave you hanging like that).

Kathy Griffin, July 19, Majestic Theatre: The star of Bravo's “My Life on the D-List” is touring the country with her standup act. Only in America could an annoying loudmouth launch unpopularity into a moneymaking gimmick.

Los Lonely Boys, July 24, Alamodome: The Grammy-winning trio of brothers from San Angelo kicks off Dallas Cowboys training camp with a free concert. Great — just when we finally got “How Far Is Heaven” out of our heads.
