Coffee Talk: Robin Thicke 'Learning to Be a Dad'

Here's what's got us stirring our coffee this morning: Robin Thicke nicely is adjusting to being a dad to his 2-and-a-half-month-old son, Julian. He says he likes playtime and is already tired of changing diapers. A Lauryn Hill song has leaked to the internet -- we're not sure if it's a new recording, but it's totally quenching our thirst for L. Boogie. Plus, Nicki Minaj teamed up with will.i.am for "Your Love." And Rod Blagojevich uses R. Kelly's former defense lawyer.
