It's no longer a sausage-fest for band N.E.R.D. Pharrell and the gang are balancing out the peen by adding a female member.

The new lady is singer Rhea, who will make her debut on the group's fourth album Instant Gratification, out in 2010.

But how she auditioned is the most inneresting part. She sang His Eye Is On The Sparrow via SKYPE!

Crazy!

Pharrell thinks the addition of a girl will allow them to "go in so many more directions, because we have the vocal support."

Can't wait to hear how the new addition mixes with the group!

Lindsay Lohan's sometimes girlfriend, saMANtha Ronson, got herself a sweet deejay gig - on the CW's 90210!

On November 3rd, saMAN will be appearing as herself and will be guest starring alongside Pharrell and his group, N.E.R.D. Her storyline involves giving some romantic advice to character Navid, played by Michael Steger.

We think you should find a better source, Navid!

And, uh, LiLo? Aren't you the supposed "actress" in this lady-loving relationship? How come she got a paid acting job and you didn't?

BURN!

If the rumors are true, Princess RiRi's upcoming album is going to be legendary!

Unknown sources over at Def Jam are talking up Rihanna's latest musical venture, remaining pretty hush hush over the specifics but tickling the world's balls with some killer info about the album.

Ri's working with a whole gang of collaborators: Kanye West, Justin Timberlake, Soulja Boy, Jay-Z and Pharrell Williams, just to name a few!

Major talent, bbs!

The album will reportedly be a complete change in sound for the Princess, with more rock and pop notes than the last album. Ri's apparently been extremely particular about song choice for the album and has been slaving over the lyrics and melodies, those of which sources at Def Jam are saying will "mark the spirits forever."

Intense!

There are also said to be a number of duets on the album, one of which was apparently to be with Chris Brown but was quickly canned after, well.. you know.

The album name will be kept under wraps until the "last moment," but Def Jam insiders say the album will highlight a more mature, original Rihanna than we've seen in the past.

Can't wait!!!!!

Pharrell was in Paris on Tuesday and desperate for a little McDonald's. One little problem: they weren't open for business yet.

The tenacious entertainer tried everything - including a little song and dance - to get them to serve him some breakfast.

Thankfully, someone was there to record all the LOLs!

Was he successful????

Watch Pharrell break it down (above)!

Today's the big day!

But some of us got out there early and waited in line during the weekend.

One Perezcious reader did just that in Miami on Sunday, and was joined by rapper Pharrell, who waited in line for 5 hours to make his voice heard - just like the rest of us!

Don't let long waits discourage you from voting. Vote. Vote. Vote.

Our spywitness says that the N*E*R*D singer was accompanied by his bodyguard, who assisted with the wait by going out and buying Pharrell some Burger King.

Okay, not all of us are taking a bodyguard to accompany us while we vote!

But, hey, voting can sure work up your appetite!

Ddefinitely don't be discouraged by long lines at the polls today. Your vote matters!

It's just like waiting in line to get into the coolest club - the "I voted" club!

If Pharrell can do it, so can you.

A star-studded, sassy New York crowd came out to see Madonna rock Madison Square Garden on Saturday.

Chris Rock, Kelly Ripa and Jerry Seinfeld were among the famous faces spotted at the concert.

Madonnaphiles excitedly told us that M was joined on stage by Pharell for Beat Goes On and Give It To Me.

Saturday was also Mini Madonna's, Lourdes Leon, birthday and she was at mommy's show to celebrate.

Her Madgesty dedicated You Must Love Me to Lourdes. Eyewitnesses say that this brought sensitive Kelly Ripa to tears! Aww. Mommys seeing eye-to-eye!

Madge also let Kelly sing part of Give It To Me towards the end of the show!

Wish we could have been there!

Now that the Jerry Seinfeld "phase" is out of the way, expect to see Eva Longoria, Pharrell, and famed Indian doc Deepak Chopra in the new Microsoft commercials.

The new ad featuring Eva, Pharrel and the doc directly attack Apple's "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads that portray the PC as boring and out of touch.

They reportedly also seek to counter Apple's 'elitist' vibe by featuring everyday PC users, such as scientists and teachers.

Sounds like a political ad!!

According to a new report, someone at Microsoft's ad agency, Crispin Porter and Bogusky, said that another ad featuring the Seinfeld and Bill Gates had already been filmed, but the company had decided not to broadcast it (cuz it probably sucked hard too!).

We saw the new Microsoft ad during the Emmys.

Did you see it?

We remember Eva and her husband, Tony Parker, in the ad (they were chilling on chaise lounges), but we don't remember seeing Pharrel or Chopra.

What did U think?
