Scarlett Johansson Covers Gershwin, Jeremy Irons Covers Dylan, Nia Vardalos Covers Beatles ... All On One CD You'll Never Buy!

Oh, my ears! And I haven't even heard it yet. But if you've got MP3s ... send to Stereogum and we'll commiserate together.

Unexpected Dreams: Songs From the Stars
1. Summertime -- Scarlett Johansson
2. Sweetest Gift -- Ewan McGregor
3. In My Daughter's Eyes -- Taraji P. Henson
4. My Heart Is So Full of You -- Jennifer Garner
5. To Make You Feel My Love -- Jeremy Irons
6. Goodnight My Angel -- John Stamos
7. Little Child -- Lucy Lawless
8. Wish Song -- Marissa Jaret Winokur
9. Greatest Discovery -- Eric McCormack
10. No One Is Alone -- Victor Garber
11. Night Shift -- Julia Louis-Dreyfus
12. Golden Slumbers -- Nia Vardalos
13. Lullaby in Ragtime -- John C. Reilly
14. Goodnight -- Teri Hatcher

UPDATE: Audio samples here. (Thanks Johnny.) I guessed correctly Scarlett's cover was not of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince (phew!). And sadly I don't think "My Heart Is So Full Of You" will get added Jennifer Garner's Awesome Workout Mix!!. It just lacks the awesomeness Jen needs for her crunches.

UPDATE 2: Speaking of celebrities and songs. I'm sure you've seen Sharon "Mustard Lips" Stone's Israeli freakout...

Well (A) There's now a video remix. (B) "Come Together Now," the Tsunami-turned-Hurricane benefit tune she wrote with Denise Rich, is online for your listening displeasure.

"Have mercy" is the appropriate response here, yes?

None of these losers are fit to clean Shatner's microphone.

Scott, you know damn well it is.

Who originally sang "My Heart is so Full of You" and more importantly is it a good song to work out to?
