The Day in Pop Digest for 8/6: (Antiquiet) MTV "debuted" an edited, interrupted version of Kanye West's new video last night. Here it is unmolested.

The Beach Boys record label is going after Katy Perry for using the lyrics to their classic song, 'California Girls,' on her new summer anthem, 'California Gurls.' more. Meanwhile, ASB reports The Beach Boys have distanced themselves from a legal complaint which takes aim at Katy Perry over her hit single "California Gurls" - insisting it was not their idea to threaten court action over the song. more

Apparently Snoop wants to work with Britney. ASB had this quote from a video blog: "Britney Spears, what up? It's big Snoop Dogg. Hit me up so quick and so fast. Somebody sent me a song - said that you wanted me on your album," Snoop said. "I don't know if it's true - if it is hit me back real quick right." more

Avenged Sevenfold may have knocked him from the top of the album charts, but Eminem remains king on the singled chart. Billboard reports that Em's track "Love the Way You Lie," featuring Rihanna, held Katy Perry's former chart-topper "California Gurls" at No. 2. But Perry's follow-up, "Teenage Dream," jumped 13 places to No. 7. more

(Yahoo) After 29 years as a host, Mary Hart is saying goodbye to the "Entertainment Tonight" celebrity news television show when it wraps up its 30th season that starts this fall. more

(ASB) Justin Bieber battled through a mystery illness to perform a show on Wednesday, August 4 night - then thanked fans for inspiring him to finish the concert. The "Baby" hitmaker suddenly felt unwell midway through a gig in Orlando, Florida and aides advised him to quit his set early. more

(Yahoo) A&E has ordered a sequel to the influential Oscar-winning 1978 documentary "Scared Straight!" Teaming with the documentary's original producer, Arnold Shapiro, the cable network is shooting four one-hour specials of "Beyond Scared Straight!" more

(Yahoo) Tony Robbins' reality show has been pulled from NBC's schedule after just two airings. Apparently the show's ratings were even lower than the network's usual no-body-cares ratings. more

(Yahoo) In his first screen role since departing "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" last year, William Petersen has joined the cast of an indie high school drama from the director of "American History X." more [Interesting sidenote: Kaye tried to have his name removed from American History X after the studio nixed his edit of the film and went with a third one from Jerry Greenbert and Edward Norton. Read more about that here.]
