We've got SO much to discuss regarding internationally-flavored group Paradiso Girls. I will try to remain composed, but I have such an investment in these girls that I may chick out at some point...

Let's ease in with the video for "Patron Tequila," from the quintet's debut album, Crazy Horse... Wait, first I want some credit: I was an early adopter of this track, even texting uninterested parties: I am obsessed with this ridiculous song that Keri Hilson wrote about puking from margaritas ... which is what "Patron Tequila is about.

Watch the video below for a little Eve and Lil Jon, as well as Paradiso's hip-thrusting fiend of a lead vocalist (on this track), Aria Crescendo. Now it's cool each of the five Paradiso Girls is of a separate nationality, but I'm only going to discuss two: Aria, born in Paris, raised in Transylvania (I didn't make that up), and Chelsea Korka, the group's sole United States-ian.

I remember Aria from a gay-ish music video a few years back, "Girl I Told Ya" by Valeria (just gay-ish, as in Katy Perry, wink-wink, we-might-be-two-girls-who-actually-hook-up-at-"sleepovers" gay).

Now here comes my inappropriate investment: Chelsea, if she looks familiar to you, was straight-up robbed on the first season of The Pussycat Dolls: The Search for The Next Doll. I didn't watch -- I couldn't watch -- Season 2 of that show out of outrage and protest. Chelsea was my girl; now, as a Paradiso, sweet revenge is MINE!

Anyway, like The Pussycat Dolls, Paradiso Girls is a Robin Antin production, and it was sort of built around Aria. Working with Interscope and will.i.am, Paradiso auditioned and recruited the four other members you see now. Since then, the girls scored a featured spot on DJ Space Cowboy's "Falling Down" and made their TV debut on LOGO's 2009 NewNowNext Awards. Check out the live performance, with a lead-in from none other than RuPaul. Whut?

By the way, just one year ago, Lady GaGa made her TV debut on the NNN Awards. Could be a good sign...

Today was an absolute hot dude-a-palooza on It's On With Alexa Chung -- Facebook's Kevin Connolly was on the show, Michaels Showalter AND Ian Black were there with martinis, Travis McCoy was on the show, AND so were All-American Rejects -- watch their performance at the bottom of this post.

BUT, even hotter than all of those dudes put together to form one mega-Tron hot dude were ALEXA'S SHOES! More on those in a sec... Here's what Alexa wore today on her show!

Wednesday, July 15
+ Shirt dress: Sophomore
+ Peace sign necklace: Helen Ficalora
+ Long chain necklace: Erickson Beamon for Target
+ Shoes: Acne

First, let's get to some navy shirt dresses and mini dresses. This one's got a sorta Britney-before-the-fall feel. It's $60 at YesStyle.com.

I'm also partial to this See by Chloé waffle knit dress, on sale for $312 at theOutnet.com.

Eee! Super cute cable-knit crew-neck dress! It's just $54.99 at Rugby.com, so buy and save for fall.

THE SHOES! FTFnW! They're Acne's "Atacoma" leather and silver platforms, they're $480, and they're a modern marvel. They're not on Acne's site yet, but they'll be added soon.

+ Paramore land the cover of this month's Billboard magazine, with costumes straight from Sanny Claws himself and promises of marvelous music to last a whole year. (Neon Limelight)

+ Julian Casablancas (lead singer of The Strokes and son of Elite Model Management founder John Casablancas) is set to release a solo album this fall entitled Phrazes For The Young.  If this trailer is anywhere close to what the entire album will be, sign us up. (The Tripwire)

+ They may not be pitch-perfect (and Nick Jonas may look as disinterested as ever) but at a recent stop on their world tour, the Jonas Brothers got loads of unsuspecting parents out of their seats -- and countless tweens saying "What the hay?" -- by covering the classic Neil Diamond tune, "Sweet Caroline." (Ryan Seacrest)

There's an overwhelming amount of really bad band merch out there, but blink-182's been around long enough not to expect you to waste your money on crap. Two non-crap examples: blink-182's Summer 2009 limited-edition tour poster, designed by artist Maxx242. Only 1,820 posters are being printed, with 30 pieces sold at each show. Also not crappy -- the blink bunny. He's three-inches tall and looks like he could spit on you at any moment -- maybe because there are only 250 of him. He's designed by artist Acorn.

The bunny is a recession-conscious $15, and the poster is $35. Free: Requesting songs for blink to play in concert, which is awesome, and you can do at http://pickrset.com.

You're probably too young to remember this, but in 1971, the "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (In Perfect Harmony)/ I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" ad campaign blurred the line between advertising, propaganda, and pop music, and made the entire globosphere DESPERATE for an icy-cold soda. (I'm not old enough to remember it PER SE, and GOD KNOWS if I were old enough to remember it, I'd be running off to my weekly Botox appointment later today.)

Anyway, the songvertisement, also known as Coca-Cola's "Hilltop" commercial, sold over 1 million copies in a year, was donated to the Library of Congress in Washington DC in 2000, and was selected by British TV channel ITV as the greatest TV ad ever made.

Fast foward to now, and "Open Happiness" -- a collaborative Coca-Cola spot recorded by Gnarls Barkley's Cee-Lo Green, Panic! At the Disco's Brendon Urie, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, Janelle Monae, and Travis McCoy of Gym Class Heroes -- could be this generation's "pop" music (excuse the pun) for the offspring of "I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke" set.

Will "Open Happiness" have the same monumental impact of its predecessor? We're about to find out.

Watch a 30-second sneak peek of the "Open Happiness" video, directed by Alan Ferguson, starring Cee-Lo Green, Brendon Urie, Patrick Stump, Janelle Monae, and Travis McCoy, and stay tuned for the full-length video, coming soon.

I'm so happy to see my girl Kelly Rowland shine as a performer -- not as a reality show cipher, not as Beyonce's second banana. But I never imagined she'd find her niche in dance music. Kelly has a success on her hands: DJ David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over" is a dance chart darling in Europe, and it's no surprise -- the beat and piano scream for glow sticks. While Kelly is "featured" on the Guetta track, she's front and center in the Jonas Akerlund-directed music video.

If you're unfamiliar with "When Love Takes Over" -- if you're European or gay, then I'm astonished -- now's your chance to hear Kelly push her vocals like never before.

The saturated theme gives the video a welcome dreaminess, and Kelly's gazes and coy smiles are totally hypnotic. At video's end, Kelly joins DJ Guetta in his "booth" -- I'm assuming a nod to the musical partners' initial meeting in Cannes, France.

Kelly's charisma makes this video, and for me, she had some competition: I know Kelly's performed this number for at least one Gay Pride festival, but I have seen some fierce drag queen lip-synchs to this track! You know it's tough for Kelly to top that...

T.I. is SERIOUS about being sorry. You know how I know? Because he put Mary J. Blige in his new video, "Remember Me," and no one calls on Mary J. Blige unless they're super serious. I'm not saying Mary J.'s a downer, but she is strictly business. No one puts Mary J. in their video strictly for comic relief, you know? She doesn't pop up in wacky pie-in-the-face gag reels. Because Mary J. Blige a closer.

But just because T.I.'s had the book thrown at him and the jail cell closed on him -- he's currently serving a 366-day jail sentence for attempting to buy firearms from an undercover cop -- doesn't mean he's gone for good. T.I. DOES NOT want you to forget him. Ever.

Promise T.I. you'll be waiting for him the minute he gets out of the clink by watching his new video, "Remember Me," directed by Jessy Terrero (50 Cent, Wisin & Yandel).

Maybe not that sorry?
