True confessions: If we had a schedule that came anywhere close to resembling Miley's, we'd probs just crawl into bed, set our DVR on a Hills marathon, and just never get up. What with her recent performance at the Kids' Inaugural Concert, her church-goin' responsibilities, and her new Hannah Montana movie on the horizon, it's no wonder she's having uvula-cutting accidents! It's all just too much!

Anyway, all these daily stressors might help some a little light on why Miley thought it was a good idea to leave the house looking like this. OR maybe she just thinks she's in a Whitesnake video? Here are the top 5 reasons she just might:

5. Aqua Net: We've all had bad hair days before, but Miley does kinda seem like she's channeling David Coverdale. Feel free to experiment, Miley! You're young and it's understandable that you want to step out of your box. But please just don't do anything crazy... like frosted tips.

4. Fringed Boots: Tawny Kitaen, the breakout star of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" video (and star of Celebrity Rehab 2!) was pants-less and barefoot through most of the video, but you just know that she probably had a pair of fringed suede boots like these waiting in her dressing room.

3. Ripped Tights: Don't laugh, but we actually wondered if Miley's torn tights were a fashion statement or a political one? Each hole represents a lost job? A dip in the stock market? Crazier things HAVE happened... again, like the uvula incident.

2. Iron Maiden Tee: Granted, it's the wrong band, but I'm still interpreting this as a definitive vote for '80s hair rock.

1. Peer Pressure: Miley made all her friends dress like Whitesnake groupies too!

Or maybe, she's "just being Miley?"

Who are you, Tokin' Black Guy, if that's even your REAL name! Are you a semi-incognito Pharrell Williams? A way WAY underground lost Dungeon Family artist? Some kind of viral marketing single dropped by Swatch? And should I feel weird about your name? (Though we are pretty much living in post-white America, after all.)

Your tracks magically appeared in my inbox (maybe that's why you call yourself a rocket scientist), and while I can't find any evidence that corroborates your "produced by Kanye West" subject line, I like the Kanye-minus-the-mortifyingly-bad-singing-habit/ low-fi feel, complete with MS Paint flair.

+ Listen to Tokin' Black Guy's "Body Clock" and the extremely-Andre 3000-ifici "Turn My Music High," and tell me who YOU think Tokin' Black Guy REALLY is...

+ Sure, you (and SJP!) admired Michelle Obama's one-shouldered, Swarovski crystal-covered Jason Wu ball gown -- but did you know the bride-like frock was supposed to be a symbol of hope and feminine empowerment? If not, join the club! (MTV News)

+ And since we're on the subject of fashion, let's talk gowns! First topic: Did Jill Biden *borrow* Miley's 'Kids' Inaugural getup? Also: Could someone tell Rihanna that mustard yellow is NOT the new black? Thanxsomuch! (Scandalist)

+ Crybaby alert! Beyonce admits she came thisclose to bawling while serenading President Obama and the First Lady. Thisclose! (MTV News)

+ 'Course, she wasn't the only one. Ordinarily stoic City star Whitney Port admits even she shed a few tears while watching Barack's inauguration. (Remote Control)

+ Presumably while looking at Aretha Franklin's hat ... Yowzahs. (OMG! Yahoo)

+ OK, fine, so we ALL got a little choked up. Even Diddy was giddy! (E! Online)

+ Meanwhile, ABDC judge Shane Sparks took the opportunity to rate the Obamas' dancing: "On technique, I would give them an 8." Sheez, these days everyone's a critic. (MTV News)

+ Not everyone's eyes were glued on the Prez, however. After their duet at the Western Ball, Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony spent the evening "gaz[ing] into each other's eyes" and PDA-ing like teenagers. Awww/ewww. (Usmagazine)

+ And after the party comes the afterparty! Celebs like Pete Wentz, Rosario Dawson and Usher kept the good times rollin' past 4am. It's what Obama would've wanted. (MTV News)

Hit The Lights clearly didn't have a very good time in high school. The hard-hitting Lima, Ohio five-piece that takes its name from a track on Metallica's Kill 'Em All appears to be working out some old aggression in brand-new video, "Drop The Girl." Basically it's a revenge fantasy that takes aim at every bitter dude's favorite target: cruel hot chicks, AKA chicks out of their league. Oh, and the album is called Skip School, Start Fights. Hit The Lights, WHAT WENT WRONG???

But wait... Look at Hit The Lights. Burly arms, straight teeth, nice hats... They're kinda studly, right? What do they have to complain about? And not only that, but they're about to hit the road with 3OH!3, The Maine and way more of your favorite bands on the 2009 AP Tour. Girls love dudes in bands on big tours! I mean, don't you? Girls? Here, watch "Drop The Girl." Hit The Lights is waiting for you.

Back in the day there was a Barbie campaign that went "We girls can do anything!" Apparently Amy Winehouse took that one to heart, because despite the crippling, skin- and lung-rotting effects of crack, booze, and cartons of cigarettes a day, and the results of snorting/ sniffing/ freebasing anything that isn't tethered to the floor but certainly wasn't intended for human consuption, Amy Winehouse has started a record label.

This from a girl who was essentially too s---faced to even appear in her own "Valerie" and "Love Is A Losing Game" videos. She canceled her appearance at the 2007 VMAs, could barely speak at the 2007 EMAs, and punched a fan at Glastonbury this past year. And who likes to act like a horse.

Yeah, so Amy Winehouse just started Lioness Records, and the first artist out of the gate will be Dionne Bromfield, who's apparently Amy's goddaughter. (This begs the question, WHAT KIND OF SITUATION DO YOU HAVE TO BE IN IN YOUR LIFE TO ASK AMY WINEHOUSE TO BE YOUR DAUGHTER'S GODMOTHER?)

So, watch for that. Other things to watch out for: Amy Winehouse finally succumbing to dentures, and/or leprosy, Amy Winehouse being contained only via the type of cage usually reserved for large game, Dionne Bromfield's mother finally taking parenting classes.

+ Courtney Love, who's possibly nuts, reaches a new Embarrassing Mom Milestone by literally begging Twilight star Robert Pattinson to take her 16-year-old daughter Frances Bean out on her "first-ever date." MAHHHHHHHMMMM!!! (OK!)

+ A pissed-off priest gave Miley Cyrus and Justin Gaston a "verbal spanking" after catching them "giggling" and "texting" throughout his sermon. (Star)

+ What's black and white and red all over? Pink, after a sunscreen-less day on the beach! Oh, and did we mention she's also rocking some "cheeky" new tattoos? (The Sun - UK)

+ Amy Winehouse's crazy, crawling-on-hands-and-knees pics, explained! "[S]he was just having fun, pretending to be a horse," clarifies Amy's sad, deluded dad, Mitch. (Telegraph - UK)

+ We know, we know, you're already over the whole inauguration thing, but we just realized we left one of the most important deets out of our inaugural highlights reel: MILEY CYRUS AND NICK JONAS WERE SPOTTED HUGGING AFTER THE INAUGURAL YOUTH BALL. That is all. (Popstar! Magazine)

+ Note to Kelly Osbourne: if a gossip reporter calls you -- or your fiance -- stupid, slugging her in the face generally isn't the best way to prove her wrong. Now she's NEVER gonna get you that fancy-pants sugar bowl off your registry! (Usmagazine.com)

+ Hot off the (tabloid) press! Britney Spears is reportedly getting paid $20 million to write her memoirs. Yeah, it's like THAT. (Hollyscoop)

+ Coming up on The City: Jay asks Whitney to "trust" him -- then totally hits on some random club skank! Reason 139 why you should never, ever date an Australian. (Remote Control)

Jonas Brothers tees not your speed? Check out All Time Low's Jack Barakat's new JAGK wear. Seriously, if  Glamour Kills, then Jacky's pretty much a dead man.

Below: Jack's brand-new JAGK-brand tippy-tops and hoodies, available in dudes and betty versions, launched over at Glamour Kills.

Today IS the inauguration and all, in case you didn't hear. Though the Jonas Brothers DID pull off an epic performance on last night's "Kids’ Inaugural: We Are the Future" concert... So I'm thinking I'll go for an Obama shirt today and then the Jonas tee (shown above in glitter!) tomorrow.

Los Angeles' The Names Brand creates homages to Amsterdam design group Jetset Experiment's iconic "John&Paul&Ringo&George" shirts, and they release new pop-culture-based designs every week. But check out their existing selection of names tees inspired by the Hills girls, Gossip Girl, American Idol, New Kids on the Block, and, of course, every member of Team Jolie-Pitt.

Oh, and they do custom tees too, which means you're now one step closer to your own "Bill&Tom&Georg&Gustav" Tokio Hotel tee!

Buh-bye Bush, hello President Obama! After months of waiting (im)patiently -- and speculating wildly over Michelle Obama's first First Lady dress -- inauguration day is finally here!

And since today's official swearing-in (which is taking place RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT!!!!) marks the end of an error era, we figured we'd milk it by giving you detailed recap, a schedule of what's to come and the highlights of Obama's three-day "I'm About To Be Prez" bender. Enjoy!

+ First up: what's still to come! See what the First Family is up to all day -- you know, after watching the head of the household/44th President of the United States nail the inaugural address at 12:05pm.)

+ Weekend recap! Obama admits he'll "have trouble sleeping" the night before becoming the nation's next Commander-in-Chief. Plus, Pete Wentz announces he'll be leaving Ashlee and beh-beh Mowgli at home to play the Youth Inaugural ball (tonight at 10pm!), with a little help from lesser-known stars (ha!) Kanye West and Kid Rock.

+ Beyonce starts the inaugural weekend off right by headlining a star-studded bash at the Lincoln Memorial. Flip through all the live concert pics here! (Not shown: the exact moment when Honest Abe started crumping uncontrollably).

+ Celebs like Nick Cannon and Wilmer Valderrama reminisce about the day they met Barack Obama. Bonus: Usher brags about the time he swiped Barack's candy bar. Not cool, bro!

+ Silly grown-ups ... inaugurations are for kids! Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and the JoBros blew away fans, the Obama girls and fuhklempt Buzzworthy editors with an amazing, kid-centric performance at last night's "We Are the Future" concert. (And never mind that Miley's dress/beehive looked like something your mom would've worn to her high school prom.)

+ And don't forget the time T.I. rocked the mic at Club Love, and Jay-Z swung by the "Presidential Status" inaugural ball to drop a guest verse on Young Jeezy's "My President." A sample of the improv rhyme? "My president is black, he's black, he's half white/ So even in a racist mind, he's half right." Watch the video!

Catch every amazing detail of Barack Obama's historic ascent to the White House (update: he's delivering the inaugural address now!) by watching the entire event on live-stream and reading MTV.com's up-to-the-minute blog coverage.

So, a funny thing happened the other week when I posted an desperate, gasping plea for the Jonas Brothers to perform at the inauguration.

But first, lemme back up -- the Jonas Brothers' inauguration performance HAPPENED -- catch my recap of the Disney Kids' Inaugural here -- AND I'd like to think because of me, you, and the awesome powers of OJD!

Okay, so we all know Kevin and Joe Jonas registered to vote in the 2008 election and that when it comes to politics, the boys don't claim allegiance to one party but instead (wisely!) encourage everyone to embrace their own beliefs. And we all know that Nick will hopefully run for president in 2028.

So it was interesting to see how many of you commented here and at Just Jared Jr., expressing sentiments along the lines of "Yay, Jonas Brothers, boo Obama."

But, Jonas Brothers fans, let's put the JBs aside for a second, as difficult as that may be. What do YOU think of President (because he's PRESIDENT now!) Obama? Are you you Pro-Bama, or No-Bama? And why?

(And either way, don't miss history! Check out MTV’s historical coverage of “Be the Change: Live From the Inaugural.")
