Hey, how about some fabulous to wind down today with? Mika... well he's already pretty dynamite in his own right. His album, Life In Cartoon Motion, is full of delightfully inspired pop confections. And now he's made a video for the track "Blame It On The Girls" that matches the buoyant energy of his music.

The video, directed by, Nez Kahmal, is a Busby Berkeley-inspired wonder that perfectly suits the stomping beat and ecstatic chorus of the song. Love the androgyny of the dancers, Mika's moves, and the moving piece of the set. Moar Mika!

I just spent 17 minutes of my life reading a six-page feature about Creed from the new issue of Details. Why? Because I COULDN'T STOP! Anyway, this profile, which coincides with the October release of Creed's reunion album, Full Circle, taught me much I did not know. And now I will pay it forward by teaching you (but you should definitely read the whole thing...it's worth it).

1.) When singer Scott Stapp was a young dude he moved to Tallahassee, Florida from his native Orlando. Why? Because that's where Doors frontman Jim Morrison is from. Why else?

2.) Evangelical Christians "pilloried" the band for contributing to soundtracks for films like Scream 3 and Halloween H20. Truth.

3.) These days Scott Stapp is off the sauce, save for some special-occasion wine here and there, but uses famed hangover helper Pedialyte to cure him of dehydration from time to time.

4.) Creed broke up after Stapp went on an admittedly Hall Of Fame-worthy bender that landed him (literally) on a canopy set up to catch bird poop, four stories below the Miami hotel room he was staying in. After "hearing voices" he was sure were inviting him to a party downstairs, Stapp opted for the express elevator... off his balcony.

5.) Creed reunited in perhaps the most Creedy of places under the most Creedtastic circumstances: Stapp was due to be singing the "Star Spangled Banner" at a college bowl game in Orlando, Florida. He had guitarist Mark Tremonti meet him at the "Elvis suite" in the Hard Rock Hotel and said, simply, ''Hey, man, looking back, if I hurt you in any way, forgive me, brah, I apologize." Tender, brahs.

Watch Creed's brand-new video, "Rain," and watch the video that started it all, "Higher."

LIGHTS: We have followed her adventures in the silent wasteland in Audio Quest; we've learned things we didn't know about her in "The 5" interview, we've discovered her "Halloween Horrors." And now, now we get to look at her!

This charismatic one-stop-electro-pop-shop posed for MTV photographer Rene Cervantes in these exclusive MTV photos. They're a little but funny/playful, a little bit goth and a little bit other-worldly; a lot like her music.

James Franco -- one of the reasons why Joe Jonas' new short  haircut is scientifically proven to be one of the hottest dude haircuts ever -- cannot pronounce Gucci and demonstrates a clear need for both a speech coach and an anger management therapist in these video outtakes from a failed Gucci commercial. Trust me, this one gets funnier, so keep watching.

In this episode of "Halloween Horrors," emcee /producer P.O.S. recalls his time on the ice planet of Hoth, also known as Minneapolis, Minnesota. In a remembrance of Halloween past, P.O.S. talks about the time he braved a serious blizzard resulted in a record candy take for the then-Spiderman-costumed youngster.

The Woodie-nominated P.O.S. goes on to discuss his dislike of salted peanut candies and, in stark contrast to the boys from needtobreathe, firmly places his support in the Vampire camp (in our ongoing Vampire v.s. Werewolves debate).

Apparently Chris Brown isn't totally persona non grata in the music biz. He's still got a record deal and a brand-new video, "I Can Transform Ya," from his upcoming album, Graffiti. And he's still got friends willing to work with him -- Lil Wayne and Swizz Beatz on the track, and Joseph Kahn, who directed Britney's "Womanizer" video and Lady Gaga's "Love Game."

So, are time and a slick, Daft Punk-leaning dance jam enough to forgive Chris Brown of the crimes of his past, or a time machine and an "undo" button the only thing that could allow you to listen to the once-prince of R&B's music -- including his new video -- in good conscience?

Yes! We've had over half a year to get used to Joe Jonas' shaggy/curly Adrien Grenier haircut (and a little less time to let those reeedonkulous-flavored photos of Joe Jonas in In Style magazine sink in.) But it looks like Joe Jonas got sick of his curly hair (dude, I so hear that) and went nice, short, and clean-cut as the Jonas Brothers spent time in the Dominican Republic on the next leg of their world tour.

My take: this is totally the absolute hottest dude haircut ever -- case in point: James Franco, Robert Pattinson, and, um Nick Jonas! It's pretty much a scientific fact that it's nearly impossible for a dude to have this haircut AND NOT be smoking. It's a win/win situation. Somehow, Joe Jonas just managed to make himself EVER hotter. I know. Hard to believe. What do you think of Joe Jonas' new hair?
