Wild Light has that freewheeling, windy spirit that you'd usually associate with California bands. But that's not quite right. See, Wild Light's a New Hampshire band with a song about California. "California On My Mind," to be specific, which shares sentiment and a few choice lyrics with the Presidents Of The United States classic, "F*** California."

Comprised of old friends Jordan Alexander and Timothy Kyle, who have been playing music together since fourth grade, Wild Light also have an Arcade Fire kinship going for them. Kyle and Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler went to college together and allegedly learned quite a bit from one another. All that promise is out in force in the new video for "California On My Mind." In it, Richard Avedon's famous Marilyn Monroe portrait comes to life and mouths the words as the band backs her up. Watch "California On My Mind" below.

Far from the sordid world of 3OH!3's beer pong exploits, we find Crooked X, the wholesome teenagers from Oklahoma who made it big as a metal band. In case you've forgotten, you can refer back to old Buzzworthy posts that trace their progress from unknowns playing backyards, to superstars opening arena shows for KISS.

Now Crooked X is taking another step toward immortality with the action-packed video for their latest single, "Gone." In it, the band hits the road and greets their raving fans -- shaking hands, autographing body parts, and generally rocking out. Looks like they learned a trick or two opening for KISS!

Watch Crooked X -- Forrest, Jesse, Josh and Boomer -- giving it all they got in "Gone!"

+ Our girl Lauren Conrad seems to be throwing in the towel on a lot of things lately. First, she's phoning in her final season of The Hills, and now it seems that her clothing line is on permanent hiatus. Maybe she'll finally start getting the rest she needs and get rid of that perma-rasp she's got going on. (Socialite Life)

+ Speaking of The Hills, the trailer for new movie Sorority Row starring "World's Hottest Woman With One Lip" Audrina Patridge just came out and it looks pretty creepy and surprisingly cool (mostly because Carrie Fisher is in it). (The Evil Beet)

+ If it's true that Katy Perry is dating Josh Groban, then there's still hope for every single weird-looking guy who can sing.  (MTV UK)

+ We just snorted in our fried rice after seeing this picture of Joe Jonas trying to give himself crow's feet. You think his apology will need to be Miley-sized, or can we just let people live? (ICYDK)

+ Natasha Bedingfield got married over the weekend to some businessman, cuing the inevitable shift from "you-go-girl" power pop songs to sappy, LeAnn Rimes mush. Word of warning, Tashers. Stay away from Lifetime movies and Western Sizzler.  (Seriously? OMG! WTF?)

+ Whatever tannin Valentino is dipping his jowls in, we need to get our hands on it pronto. That's Italian for "free," for all you uneducated people out there. (Popbytes)

+ This side-by-side vid of some dumb Fox News anchor being made fun of in Britney Spears' If You Seek Amy video is bringing us the lolz today. Something about this lady is just not right! (Pop Crunch)

I just finished interviewing Ashley Tisdale, and I asked her lots of your fan questions! (Thanks again for sending them in!) We talked a lot about her new album, Guilty Pleasure, and its mature new direction. And, being girls, we dished about other fun stuff like coffee blends, beauty musts, Jake Gyllenhaal, Simon Curtis (@simoncurtis Tweeted me just as I was going off to interview Ashley and asked me to say hi for him, so I did!), Boys Like Girls (Ashley's a huge Boys Like Girls fan), and Twilight. And there was even talk of a marriage proposal. You'll see!

+ Buzzworthy's Ashley Tisdale video interview is coming soon! Until then, enjoy this sweet pic I snapped of Ashley in the 17th floor photo studio!

If those 3OH!3 boys have anything, it's class. Class out the ass. In the latest chapter of 3OH!3's much-asterisked European saga, we follow them to Germany, where we encounter cold-shouldered truckers, casual classical quartets, heroic beer pong tourneys and formidable babes (more photos after the jump). Now it's time do what 3OH!3 do in a pinch: kick back, relax and let the handsome do the talking. Boys?

So, we headed to Munich the other day. We chilled at a rest stop for a while eating Burger King and trying to pick up truckers. We failed. Whatever. We feel like we're good looking dudes and we can get it right another time, another rest stop. We got to our hotel and enjoyed a delightful little glass of rouge, whilst listening to the lovely quartet and piano playing Bach in the restaurant, no big deal.

The next day I woke up, got showered and headed into town on foot. It seems like Germany is really clean. People here are tall and handsome. The babes seem like they would rock the s*** out of pigtails. Is that bad that I would like to see the babes in pigtails out here? Nah. Went back to the hotel and made all sorts of beats on my computer. It was hot.

The show in Munich was rad -- It was in this big complex of beer and food and all things that are good. We slammed around as usual and a lot of kids were stoked. After the show I was gonna throw strawberries out our dressing room window at people waiting for Katy outside, but I got scared of Katy's manager and p****ed out like a little b*tch. I'm such a b*tch. I can't even be a bad boy. I was gonna beam some poor fan in the dome and it would have been great, but at the instant I was gonna chuck it at that poor head, I felt all bad for those people and got it in my mind that it would be a s***ty thing to do. What kind of f***ing musician am I? I need to be way more of a BAD BOY.

We drove to Frankfurt this morning. Watched Vanilla Sky on the way. Not a huge fan of Penelope Cruz usually but she is f***ing hot in that movie, man. I would love to just hold her a little bit. Maybe make out for a while who knows?

Here we are juicing before the set here in Frankfurt, trying to get some serious reps in before the show to get nice and swoll-up, you know what I mean. I'm probably yelling something along the lines of "get the f*** up Sean, you little f***ing p***y get that last set in b*tch" at Sean right there. Pretty standard before show material. We preformed in front of a velvet curtain tonight, with spotlights on us. A really nice German fan came up and we talked about it, and he said that it looked a bit High School Musical. I told him that is exactly the f***ing thing that we are going for!

The crowd was great -- maybe the best of the whole tour -- rowdy and ready to party. There were a bunch of Americans who had seen us on Warped. It was rad to meet them.

That's our deal. Tomorrow we are going to be playing beer pong at our merch table in Hamburg. Apparently the other merch people have been getting pissy over the "mess" that is being left at the merch table. We are retaliating by playing a 64-cup beer pong challenge all f***ing night, except for the 30 minutes when we will take the stage. Hamburg will never even f***ing know what hit it.

Next time you bend over in your skivvies, you might wanna make sure you're not doing it around Ashton Kutcher, who snapped a photo of wife Demi Moore's bikini-bottomed rear as she was bending over while in Turks and Caicos for Bruce Willis' wedding.

Ashton, who goes by @aplusk on Twitter, provided additional Twitter editorial about Demi's ass via the following Tweet: watching my wife steam my suit while wearing a bikini. I love God!   1:43 PM Mar 21st)

If that's not love, I don't know what is.

More Twitter lessons in love from Ashton Kutcher:
greatest lesson in my marriage. Don't try to solve her problems just listen love and be supportive. this is the opposite of male nature. 1:56 AM Mar 21st

2nd greatest lesson when she says time for bed....hop to, good things await. Gnight. lol   1:57 AM Mar 21st

+ Happy 23rd Birthday, Lady GaGa!! You don't look a day over nip slip!  (Top Socialite)

+ On a side note, we're sorry that famous-for-nothing Nicole Richie ganked your steeze. (Socialite Life)

+ In keeping with her 'one-charitable-act-a-month' commitment for 2009, Beyonce surprised some New York City middle-school students with a photo shoot for Vogue by Mario Testino. She should think more outside the box. If she stopped wearing anything made by her mother for, say, three months -- that's a huge charitable donation to the entire world. (Style.com)

+ We talk about Katy Perry a lot on Buzzworthy, we know, but humor us and check out this side-by-side comparison of the Perry-penned track I Do Not Hook Up that Kelly Clarkson picked up and recorded for her new album, All I Ever Wanted. Which one do you like better? Tell us in the comments, ya'll. (Teen Hollywood 411)

+ Lindsay Lohan is the new spokesperson for Fornarina (some goofy-looking Italian fashion label that seems vaguely Japanese), as evidenced in this craptastic commercial. Um, maybe it's just me but does Linze look oddly like Taryn Manning from Boomkat (or Crossroads, one of our favorite Britney movies of all time)? (Seriously? OMG! WTF?)

+ Kiiind of hope Kanye West gets what's coming to him (to the tune of 30 months in jail). Then he'll have all the time in the world to update his stupid blog, right? (Gabby Babble)

+ Some Friday lolz from one of our Buzzworthy crushes, John Mulaney. He's on Comedy Central and VH1's Best Week Ever, and he's reeeeeally funny (earmuffs may be necessary). (listen here)

Justin Tranter is extremely hard to miss, and not just because he's like a zillion and a half feet tall (and not just because he was on Made). But his electric yellow hair, perfectly smudged eyeliner, and those spike-heeled boots help too. So, when I saw the Semi Precious Weapons frontman in the front row at Richie Rich's show at Fashion Week this past February, I introduced myself (I have no shame) and asked him to come to MTV and talk about his edgy-yet-achievable style and how anyone who's not even anyone can go glam. Justin agreed, and -- bonus! -- we're now BlackBerry buddies!

Check out Justin Tranter's video guide to the five things every girl -- or guy -- needs to go glam and stay there! (Please... once you get there, stay there!)

And get even cuter tomorrow when House of Style returns to MTV tomorrow!

Some of you may not remember MTV's 1990s heritage show House of Style, which blended fashion, music, pop culture, catwalk cattiness, and supermodels during their "We don't wake up for less than $10,000 a day" heydey, back when Christian Sirano was still in diapers -- although I imagine those diapers to be very fierce, feathery, possibly ruffled, at times architectural, and not at all afraid to take risks.

Anyway, it's been 20 years since MTV's iconic House of Style first debuted (Todd Oldham slipcovers, anyone?), and this Saturday, March 21 at 3pm ET, House of Style is getting a makeover and a fresh coat of nail polish when the show makes its re-debut with its new hosts, models Bar Refaeli and Chanel Iman.

Don't miss trend reports, street style round-ups, DIY accessory lessons, an up-close-and-personal look at tastemaker Taylor Swift and all the gorgeous glittery gowns she loves, a behind-the-scenes look at Justin Timberlake at his William Rast Fall 2009 fashion show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, techie tips, shopping trips, and more. Or, if you just wanna see Bar Refaeli in some bonkers bikinis, there's that too.

Catch Bar, Chanel, Justin Timberlake, and Taylor Swift on MTV's all-new House of Style this Saturday, March 21 at 3pm ET.

++ UPDATE! The Jonas shake now has a name! ++

A few weeks ago I Twittered about a Manhattan restaurant that created a special milkshake for the  Jonas Brothers when they were in New York this past summer. Jonas fans, your Twitter reaction to the Jonas milkshake was cuckoo bananas -- you wanted to know about the restaurant, where in the restaurant the Jonas Brothers SAT, the milkshake recipe, the exact measurements of the millimeters of milk needed, etc. etc.

SO, once again, I did my Jonasly duties, and I took a cab over to Olana Restaurant where I met up with pastry chef Katie Rosenhouse. Katie, who was recently on the Food Network show Chopped, is just 22 and has an amazing job -- SHE MAKES DESSERTS FOR A LIVING! And not only did Katie make that now-legendary Jonas Brothers milkshake, but she helped me recreate my very own Jonas Brothers shake, which, by the way, is made with REAL. FUDGE. BROWNIES. (Sorry, dieters. Zzzz.)

Katie also told me that the Jonas Brothers loved the shakes so much that they requested to meet her in person to thank her. Ridiculously adorable, right? Of course.

So, there's the story of the Jonas Brothers milkshake. Now, watch Katie show me how to make Olana's yet-unnamed Jonas Brothers milkshake, and follow along at home if you've got a billion fudge brownies sitting around -- the recipe's after the jump!

Also, Katie is SO cool that she offered to let Buzzworthy's Jonas Brothers fans NAME the Jonas Brothers milkshake. Leave your suggestions in the comments, and I'll let Katie know my favorite (it's not a fancy or formal contest or anything... just submit some fun names, mkay?), and they'll put it on the menu at Olana! Sweet!

Get the recipe after the jump!
