TIME Magazine has unveiled its annual Most Influential People list, which is comprised of five separate categories: Artists, Leaders, Pioneers, Titans and Icons.

Stephen Colbert, host of 'The Colbert Report,' poked fun at country singer Brad Paisley's newest song 'Accidental Racist' --in which Brad basically tries to solve racism by teaming up with LL Cool J and doing things like apologizing for that one time he wore a Confederate flag T-shirt because he loves Lynyrd Skynyrd.

To sum things up, with lyrics like "If you don't judge my gold chains / I'll forget the iron chains," it's all pretty awkward.

In response, Colbert took on the gay marriage issue in similar fashion, joining forces with the always adorable Alan Cumming for a song called 'Oopsie-Daisy Homophobe.'

Russell Brand is a comedic genius, albeit one who's utterly insane.

Proof? Last night, April 16, he went on 'Conan' and talked about, among other things, a foursome with the Kardashians, how he'd sleep with Jennifer Lawrence (who wouldn't?), using hypnotism to stop his sexual desires, and convincing Tom Cruise to convert him to Scientology.

Something tells us not a lot of children in the 'Sesame Street' age demographic watch Jon Hamm on 'Mad Men' or understand why he's a particularly fine specimen of manhood. Regardless, the actor went onto the kids' show and joined Elmo to teach the word of the day: sculpture.

As in, "Doesn't that sculpture of Michelangelo's David remind you of Jon Hamm?"

This Los Angeles mini-mansion is owned by an octogenarian who likes to house his much younger, very busty employees -- whom he occasionally dates, pays to get nude and occasionally marries. You know, your basic HR nightmare. Only he's way too much of a BAMF for rules.

Jason Mecier is a huge Lindsay Lohan fan. So huge, in fact, that he created a portrait of the troubled starlet out of trash. The art piece took over 50 hours to make and is constructed entirely of recycled materials, unloved objects and garbage -- all inspired by La Lohan herself.

Wethinks we smell a metaphor in there somewhere.

Pirating is really hard, you guys. Almost as hard as verb conjugations. This glitter-covered singer once said, "I've doven. Doven? Diven? ... I'm pretty much a pirate."

Inspired by Reese Witherspoon's new brunette locks, Ellen DeGeneres decided to use this April Fool's day to also test out a brown-hued 'do, although hers was 100 percent removable because that's how wigs and/or Photoshop work.

While touring in Moscow, belter Adam Lambert covered the seminal '80s Tears for Fears song 'Shout,' not to be confused with the Isley Brothers' song of the same name, which is played at every wedding ever. Although it would be fun to watch Adam Lambert cover that. Or pretty much anything else, for that matter.

Get on that, dude.
