We here are Buzzworthy are 20% thankful for delish dark meat and crazy-tasty stuffing and 80% thankful for Nick Jonas‘ stellar hurkey this Turkey Day. And also that great slarping sound that cranberry sauce makes on its trip out of the can.

Other things we’re thankful for: Robert Pattinson’s hair, the Britney special — Sunday, Nov. 30 at 8pm!! — and the potential for a Mariah Carey musical AND mini-Riah!

Happy T Day, everyone! See y’awl Monday!

+ Singer/Lady Gaga impersonator Christina Aguilera admits she’s undercover besties with Simple Life star/parenting pro Nicole Richie! “I’ve had the opportunity of getting to know [Nicole],” sez Xtina, “and I was blown away with how great of a mom she is…I actually ask her for advice.” (Fox News)

+ Forget about getting her own spinoff show! Now the latest rumors have former Danity Kane singer Aubrey O’Day posing for Playboy! (MTV News)

+ Breaking! Someone at OK! magazine will “probably be fired” for accidentally spelling Ashlee Simpson’s name the right/wrong way. (Dlisted)

+ Meanwhile, My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way is on his Way — er, way — to becoming a dad. Sadly for Gerard, the name “Bronx Mowgli Wentz” is already taken. (Associated Press)

+ Ellen DeGeneres fuels rumors that Mariah Carey is pregnant by challenging the pop icon to a “champagne toast.” Amazing?? (Newsroom)

+ Ay dios mio! Hills stars Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt tied the knot in a top secret (and, arguably, not legal) Mexican ceremony last week. Catch the latest wedding-related deets plus find out if the nuptials will make it onto a future episode! (Remote Control)

+ Beyonce/Sasha’s latest LP topped the album charts at #1 this week, with a little help from Justin “I Wore A Leotard And I Liked It” Timberlake. (MTV News)

Huge announcement: Big brother Pete Wentz and FNMTV are coming home for the holidays and mom is FREAKING out. As you can probably guess, the video premiere extravaganza happening December 5 is getting kicked into major overdrive to make it worthy of the most wonderful time of the year. Not only is Fall Out Boy gonna perform (*jaws drop*), but Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes has signed on to spin records between super exclusive premieres of Miley Cyrus’s “Fly On The Wall,” Metro Station’s “Seventeen Forever,” The Game’s “Camera Phone” and our old buddy Secondhand Serenade’s “Your Call.”

As you probably remember, California-native Secondhand Serenade (aka John Vesely aka Blake Lewis doppelganger) did a stint as a guest blogger a few months back, where he talked us through the creation of his latest album, A Twist In My Story. Well we got along so well – exchanged phone numbers and everything – that John sent us a sneak peek of his ‘FNMTV’-bound video, “Your Call,” and it is INSANE in the best way. Vesely’s sings his face off on a fantasy hillside dotted with tattoo-faced angels, and that’s only the tip of the iceberg! He was born to tell you he loves you. It’s probably a good idea to let him.

Watch the sneak peak below, brace yourself for a seismic FNMTV event and, if you have any sense, bookmark this entry. Any minute now you’re gonna find yourself in a turkey coma with a hunk of November still ahead of you. Secondhand Serenade is just the thing to push you through until FNMTV returns with a vengeance, this December 5!

When we think of Franz Ferdinand, the first things that come to mind are skinny jeans, yummy British accents and the assassinated Archduke of Austria. And now, thanks to this awesome video interview we did with the band, we can also add sunlight-averse and addicted to Scottish energy drinks to the mix.

Check it out, and find out what skeletons are (literally!) lying in Alex, Nick, Bob and Paul’s closet, plus learn five fun facts about the guy’s upcoming new album, Tonight: Franz Ferdinand. Now, who needs an im-bru??

Dear Kanye West,

It’s obvies you’re a man who truly knows his trends:

+ You’re one of the first celebs to jump onto the blogging bandwagon (and you’ve officially jumped HARD dude, with 10+ updates a day!).
+ You love your art, and have collaborated with Japanese, pop artist Takashi Murakami.
+ Last year you brought the whole ’80s, future/retro/Devo thing back with those shutter shades you sported in your “Stronger” vid.
+ You’re often spotted wearing “secret sneaks” that: nobody has, everyone wants, and we all have zero clue where to buy.

So, your trend cred is fully established and IN tact.

However, you’ve thrown us all for a bit of loopty-loop with your latest ode to your new muse: Pee Wee Herman(!?).

(Yes, we mean THE Pee Wee, people).

You seem to be channeling PW in a big way, Yeez and we’re not the only ones who’ve noticed. We don’t want to get all “I know you are, but what am I” with you, but your look above is def borrowing heavily from Pee Wee’s. I mean, you kinda look like you arrived straight from the Playhouse.

So, I guess for those of us who are keeping tabs, nerd chic is the next wave, huh?

Wow.

OK.

I guess we can dig it (?)

Love,
Buzzworthy

When we asked the guys from Forever the Sickest Kids to lug a flipcam around on their SassyBack tour, we figured they’d come back with some blurry dressing room shots, and maybe even a Red Bull commercial or two. Instead, lead singer Jonathan Cook surprised the hell out of us by whipping out the cam IN THE MIDDLE OF A SHOW, giving fans in Richmond, Virginia (and Buzzworthy readers) a chance to see things from his “point of view.”

So check it out, and find out what’s like to standing on stage in front of a packed house full of screaming fans. Superstardom — turns out, it’s not just for “Kids” anymore.

+ If you liked walking in Jonathan’s shoes, you’ll LOVE re-watching the first two FTSK tour diaries! Ready to be famous, yet?

+ Michael Jackson is reportedly shopping his memoirs around! We like the hypothetical title “Anyone Still Think Billie Jean Was My Lover?” while our friends over at Scandalous favor a (slightly) meaner, O.J.-inspired alternative. (Chicago Sun-Times)

+ What’s the difference between like and love? Well, Joe Jonas LIKES his new maybe-gf Camilla Belle (whom he coyly describes as a “nice girl”) but he loooooooves running his shiny black comb through his lustrous man-curls. Got that? (E! Online)

+ According to Cynthia Rodriguez (a.k.a. A-Rod’s soon-to-be-ex-wife), the Yankees slugger is ditching his kids this Thanksgiving to spend some quality time with his totally platonic friend, Madonna. (Perez Hilton)

+ Meanwhile, according to Alex Rodriguez, Cynthia Rodriguez is a big fat liar. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Britney Spears may look like a hot young thang on the new cover of Rolling Stone, but with her 9:30 p.m. bedtime and nonexistent social life (for now, at least) she says she’s basically “an old fart.” (MTV News)

+ Singer/pill-popper Amy Winehouse is back in the hospital again after experiencing yet another adverse reaction to medication. Or something. (Daily Mail - UK)

+ According to a “pal,” Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson named their newborn baby after an NYC borough/Disney character because they “want Bronx to be a survivor, just like Mowgli.” And because they’re really, really mean. (OK!)

+ Meanwhile, Fall Out Boy says they’re ready to get back to work now. So much for Pete’s paternity leave! (MTV News)

‘Member when we hit you with the video premiere of The Maine’s track “Everything I Ask For” last week? Well, our “Maine” man Jared (that’s guitar hero Jared Monaco to you!) dropped us a line asking us to find out your thoughts about the fashionista-themed vid.

So have another look at their new video, catch up on the band’s most recent tour blog and read on after the jump to find out the guys have been up to since perfecting their pre-show Gregorian chant. (Hint: It involves trying to stay warm and gearing up for a tryptophan-filled Turkey Day feast!)

We already told you that Anya Marina spent some time working as a radio disc jockey before she “decided to quit [her] day job and (in her words) “become a full time rock n’ roll person.” But there’s a lot about the softspoken Joey Lauren Adams lookalike (Chasing Amy? Anyone??) that you won’t find on her resume.

Find out what her new album, Slow & Steady Seduction: Phase II, has to do with Britt Daniel of Spoon, Louis XIV (the band, not the dead French monarch) and professional pick-up artist Neil Strauss, plus hear why this self-proclaimed “geek” is embracing her flaws instead of covering them up.

+ Bonus: Find out how Anya Marina went from spinning records to making them, plus check out these uber-dotty MTV photos!
