In part 1 of Cobra Starship's HIGHLY anticipated MTV Buzzworthy Blog Q&A, Gabe Saporta, Ryland Blackinton, and Alex Suarez cover the following topics:

+ Guy Ripley!

+ Not skydiving.

+ A camping trip gone horribly wrong.

+ Drinkin' beers and shootin' deers.

But Cobra Starship's interview takes a decidedly ugly turn when the guys answer a question about Ashley Tisdale and the curious and coincidental case of her album, Guilty Pleasure, and her song called "Hot Mess." Um, don't shoot the messenger...

Watch Cobra's Buzzworthy fan Q&A after the jump, and stay tuned for parts 2 and 3.

All kinds of unexpected things ended up happening on It's On With Alexa Chung today. Seann William Scott told a totally NSFW story involving intercourse and peanut butter (never the two shall meet, I always say!), John Leguizamo walked on and went on some kind of rage bender, and I fell in love a little bit more with Lil Wayne signee Drake (yes, the same Drake who used to be on Degrassi!!!) But, more importantly, here's what Alexa Chung was wearing on today's show...

Tuesday, June 30
+ Dress: Vintage.

+ Shoes: Luella, her own.

+ Necklace: Purchased on St. Marks Place -- One of Alexa's favorite places in New York City to shop for inexpensive and fun jewelry. Secret's out now. Oh well.

If you're into the ruffly look, check out Thread Social's off-white silk jumper. It's $275 at Net-a-Porter.com -- one of Alexa's favorite online shops.

... And check out Geren Ford's delicate, ruffly cream top. It's $258 at Shopbop.com.

Finally, check out Juicy Couture's high-heeled Mary Janes with gold buckle detail. They're $175 at Zappos.com, and they're a staple shoe you'll buy once and wear forever.

+ On the heels of gay pride here in NYC, new photos show Mariah Carey getting all tranny (and by tranny we mean Drag KING, not queen) in her new video for "Obsessed," the first single off her forthcoming album. She looks bad, people. Not gonna lie... (Cele|bitchy)

+ At a tropical resort far, far away, Amy Winehouse is rounding up all the stray dogs she can find and bringing them back to her hotel room. Does anyone have PETA's number handy? (Holy Moly!)

+ Kellie Pickler and Kid Rock dating? Please, no! So gross. (Pop On The Pop)

+ You just HAVE to see Lady Gaga's new 'do. It is so utterly and ridiculously STUPID it can only be Lady Gaga. Is it art? No. It's just Gaga. (ICYDK)

+ What the EFF has Debbie Gibson looking so good these days??? Evidently she's returning to the music scene after a 20-year absence... (Hollywoodtuna)

+ P.S. have you seen the new HUGE ring and brand-new brown hair Britney is sporting? And this time it's not even a wig (remember the Allure magazine photo shoot? I do. Because it's taped to the wall of my cube). (PopSugar)

The plus side to eating at Waffle House: SMOTHERED AND COVERED! As well as the likelihood that you'll see Kid Rock serve up a piping-hot knuckle sandwich.

The drawback: You probably won't get a chance to pick up a hot AND intelligent-looking waitress (portrayed by Jennifer Heiny), like the girl Maika Maile slips his number to in There For Tomorrow's brand-new video, "A Little Faster," off their full-length album of the same name. Because remember, kids -- in movies, on TV, and in videos, despite what Dorothy Parker said, girls wearing glasses are usually covering up some heat. (You did see She's All That, right?) By the way, the diner There For Tomorrow shot at is the Bendix Diner in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey.

+ Watch There For Tomorrow's brand-new video, "A Little Faster," directed by Variable Films.

DUDES! Even though All Time Low is still being held hostage in Long Island at a sweet house with a pool, they still managed to send us a completed advance of their new album, Nothing Personal. The album's not out until Tuesday, July 7, but MTV is streaming the full-length advance for a week. You know, so you can try it before you buy it.

Listen to every track of All Time Low's Nothing Personal, including "Weightless" and "Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)" and 10 more on "The Leak."

+ Listen to All Time Low's Nothing Personal album on "The Leak."

Um, so here we have Paris Hilton wearing Niki Biki stonewash jeans that aren't jeans. They're leggings. Suggestions of jeans. For those lighter days when denim is JUST TOO MUCH EFFORT. You know those days when you just need to PULL ON YOUR PANTS and GO but you ALSO WANNA WEAR JEANS? But you DON'T HAVE TIME for the zipper and button? Right. There's a cure for that. DENIM LEGGINGS. They've even got fake pockets for when you have stuff you wanna hold but don't really want a place to hold it. Legging jeans! They're like a denim's lighter shadow. So, are you PRO denim leggings or NO denim leggings?

I have a painful friendship crush on Anjulie already. What do you want to hear about first? Her compulsive farting problem? Why she thinks she's really a guy? She only scratches the surface of these little nuggets of oversharing in her "The 5" interview below. Also, I am obsessed with Anjulie because, during an internship at a recording studio, the company fired her for accepting a date -- but more on that later.

First, let's get to Anjulie's video, "Boom," a dark, willowy and almost lurid number -- yet oddly, it's totally pop, and I want it on my party mix NOW. The video -- Anjulie in a tutu, alongside pop-up-book sets -- offers child-like Alice in Wonderland allusions. Damn, this video is almost as good as Anjulie's shoulder pads and deadpan farting stories. (I'm still pinning down the biological connection between singing and farting, by the way.)

Anyway, Anjulie grew up in Canada, and she's half Guyanese (like Leona Lewis, FYI). You may also have heard two of Anjulie's unreleased singles on The Hills and The City; although her musical stylings and even her vocals are so disparate track to track that you might not even make the connection. Speaking of disparate, Anjulie opened for Jesse McCartney last year... Anyway, Anjulie's self-titled debut album comes out August 4, and already I can tell it's the kind of spiked pop I NEED in my lifestyle. Daily.

Oh yeah, this isn't in the interview you're about to watch, but Metalworks Recording studios in Canada fired a 17-year-old Anjulie from her internship for accepting a lunch invitation from Jon Levine, of the Toronto band The Philosopher Kings. Oh, well! Jon went on to become a huge champion and even a musical collaborator of Anjulie's, so it looks like office flirtation has its benefits.

'Kay. Watch Anjulie tell you all about her flatulence and more, and watch her "Boom" video after the jump.

When she wasn't busy getting pregnant with The Secret Life of the American Teenager's Shailene Woodley -- who has amazing musical taste YET claims she's "too old" for Nick Jonas (!??!!?!?), here's what Alexa Chung wore on It's On With Alexa Chung today.

Monday, June 29

If it's always been your life's goal to bask in the glory and accolades that come with winning a Moonman (and that's nothing to be ashamed of!), yet you don't really wanna leave the confines of your living room, then you need to enter the Pepsi Rock Band Music Video contest for a chance to win your very own Moonman. (And by the way, if you're feeling ultra confident, start doing some bicep curls now, because those suckers are HEAVY).

All you have to do is pick a "Rock Band 2" song that showcases your sick skills -- choose from Fall Out Boy, Modest Mouse, Mötley Crue, blink-182 songs, there's even a Wolfmother track in there -- create and shoot a music video of your performance, and upload it for a chance to win a Moonman. And more friends. The winning video will air during a commercial break during the 2009 MTV Music Video Awards.

The afterparty's up to you.

+ Get all of the details here, and check out two entries -- Santa Lives In Sweden's take on Lit's "My Own Worst Enemy" (such a classic!), and Glitter Vein, who took on Avenged Sevenfold's "Almost Easy"
