Tuesday morning headlines

JJ ABRAMS - has a new top secret movie project at Paramount, called Zanbato for now, with Japanese history and robotics as the major themes. One source described it as, "Swashbuckling robots with swords." Cool. So how long until someone points out that robots are made of sword-proof metal. (deadline)

KANYE WEST - closed out Coachella Sunday night, and "delivered a grandiose, theatrical performance destined to be remembered as one of the greatest hip-hop sets of all time." And safest. (thr and lat)

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN - visited the final 7 contestants on American Idol Friday, though it's not clear if he'll be on air as a mentor. Too bad Pia Toscano isn't still there. Just imagine the stirring conversation they could have had about Jersey. (e!)

FERGIE - was stopped by the TSA at LAX (again) this weekend. "Why is this old guy carrying a purse", they asked as Fergie approached. "Somethings not right here." (daily mail and splash news)
