iPod DJs Mix Things Up

Foodies need to get a move on: The top chef iPod auctions are winding down. Mario Batalli and the ever-perky Rachael Ray have donated perfect tunes to stir your spaghetti to. Only after you've gotten yours can you pass on news of the next stars in line to your favorite pop culture teen. (We won't tell if that means you.) That's right: a trio of hot Djs are the next crop of items up for grabs in Tonic's iPod auction series.

Long before Lindsay Lohan stripped scowling Samantha Ronson of her remaining days of privacy, SamRon -- as she's lovingly known in the blogosphere -- was a bit of a pop tart herself. Remember "Mean Girls"? Remember "Built This Way," the catchy radio-quality movie tune? What would you do if I told you that was perpetually "edgy" Ronson empathizing with teen girl woes? Well, it is. And her yet-to-be revealed playlist will no doubt shed some light on the softer side of this in-demand DJ who's far more than a celebrity sidekick.

The onetime love of Paris Hilton's life -- one in a string, if I'm not mistaken -- Benji Madden is spending no time pining away. No, he's doing what he does best, rocking out on the turntables, guitar, and philanthropic tip. Donating his nano, with an initialed shout-out to his band, Good Charlotte, is an obvious next-step. We won't know who he's lined up for your listening pleasure until the auction opens at the end of the month, but you can be sure they'll be perfect for rocking out to as spring turns to summer and dreary winter mood music wears out its welcome.

Last but not least, Black Eyed Peas standalone talent Will.I.am has his iPod stacked with tracks to support Music Rising. It's no wonder that the mastermind behind the "Yes We Can" Obama-supporting video sensation is showing up for yet another worthy social action cause. (Don’t forget, guys -- all proceeds go to support the music community in still-recovering New Orleans.)

All three stars' auctions start March 30.
