As of right now, the Internet overlords are granting custom domain extensions to anyone willing to pay a $185,000 application fee–and nearly 2,000 requests have already been filed. Hands off .pop, though. We’ve totally got dibs. VERBATIM ‘You and I switched bodies. And then fell in love.’ LENA DUNHAM, creator, writer, director and star of HBO’s Girls, describing the plot of a Freaky Friday–style play she once wrote about Jimmy Fallon, on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. “You’re awesome,” he responded, giggling. QUICK TALK RuPaul He might be the world’s most famous drag queen, but RuPaul knows he’s not the queen of drag. “That’s Cher,” he says. “She’s the queen of all drag of all time!” Here, the 51-year-old TV host–whose makeover show, Drag U, airs Mondays on Logo–serves Pop Chart interview realness. –DAN MACSAI Just to be clear: the goal of Drag U is not to make women look like drag queens, right? No, the goal is to have fun with drag! And to help women get in touch with their superhero spirit animals. Superhero spirit animals? Yeah, everybody’s got one. A lot of times, if women have a family, they put themselves second or third or fourth. They become like Clark Kent. And we help them find their inner Superman.

Her pets and her lost mother talk to this wise, wild child in a wonder of a movie that speaks in eloquent images. Benh Zeitlin’s Sundance award-winning directorial debut, out June 27, is a work of cinematic imagination as vast and verdant as Hushpuppy’s. –RICHARD CORLISS MEMES Call Us, Maybe? These days, you’re nobody until you’ve been caught on camera belting Carly Rae Jepsen’s smash hit “Call Me Maybe.” Here, we rate some high-profile performances. HOT ;) President Obama Has said every word in the song at some point; an ingenious YouTuber spliced ’em all together Colin Powell Unleashed a few bars on CBS This Morning “Hey, I just met you!” Joan Rivers Danced around in a fur coat to promote her show Fashion Police Donald Trump Had a brief cameo in a Miss USA contestant lip-sync “And this is crazy!” James Franco Half-assed his performance in a car and couldn’t hold the camera steady NOT :( SNEAK ATTACK Cut the Chains Memo to Adidas: slavery is not an aesthetic.
