Billy Corgan (who, as he would point out, is the Smashing Pumpkins) has reinstated his membership to the "Oh, what will they do next?" club for fledgling rock stars, dead rock stars' ex-wives and the occasional inheritance celebrity. His most recent submission to the imaginary club's activity list is the establishment of another club of sorts: for $40, fans can purchase 12-week access to Corgan's internet updates from the studio, including some photos and videos. So, in other words, for a hefty fee, fans can access tomorrow's YouTube clips, today.

This was announced early in the week, and already Corgan has another "most recent submission" to the "Oh, What Will They Do Next?" club: As posted on Pitchfork (and YouTube ... without having to pay $40), Corgan seems to have borrowed Eminem's hoodie for an awkward appearance in a Lockdown pay-per-view Total Nonstop Action Wrestling commercial. Sadly, unlike many wrestling matches themselves, this appears to actually be real. No wonder he feels like a rat in a cage.
