The Amy Winehouse minifig actually looks good, for her, but then again it’s hard to express “I’m a nasty crackhead” in the minifig medium. The Madonna one is emphasizing her mannishness to a frightening degree, and furthermore, why aren’t either of them wearing any pants?

The Angelina Jolie minifig is especially freaky, as she looks crazy evil and not at all hot, and is wearing weird holster thingies to boot. Loving the babies though, although the count (not to mention the ethnicities) are not quite correct. Brad is not looking too hot either, but instead rather like a homeless guy.

You can check out the full set although unless you hail from the UK or spend loads of time watching the BBC you may not recognize the remaining celebrities.

You see, Apple’s invitations for the event is titled “The Beat Goes On”. For weeks, people have been trying to decode what it meant. Was it a reference to the old Sonny & Cher song, was the Beat indicative that Apple had secured the elusive Beatles catalog or was it something else altogether? Well, I’m sorry to disappoint those speculators out there, but it looks like that title could be a reference to an entirely different Lady Madonna than Beatles fans had in mind.

Yep, it turns out that Madonna’s upcoming album (which was recently leaked onto the Web) also happens to be titled “The Beat Goes On.” Methinks I smell more than a small coincidence here. So instead of a huge catalog of classic tracks from John, Paul, George and Ringo, we’ll probably be getting some cheezy new pop songs from the original Material Girl? Only time will tell, but I’m definitely leaning in that direction. If that’s the case, all I can say is “yawn.”

Thank goodness we’ll have some hot new iPods to keep us distracted.
