If Weezer would've only given us the positively glorious new single, "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," off their upcoming album, Raditude, it would've been enough for us.

Instead, Weezer's "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," video serves up plunging necklines, reckless driving, a chainsaw accident, bloody limbs (spoiler!), errant arrows, the eschewing of vegetarianism, a total bros-before-hos declaration, and a Megan Fox-lookalike (actress Odette Yustman) who starred in Cloverfield! Despite the deceptively idyllic 1950s backdrop, all isn't what it seems in Weezerville. (Except, of course, Rivers Cuomo's faithful self-deprecation.)

Watch Weezer's cinematic new video, "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To," directed by music video director Marc Webb, who also directed "(500) Days of Summer."

UGH. I'm STILL SO MAD that someone PUNCHED SWEET, ANGELIC LEONA LEWIS. I'mma borrow one from Katy Perry, who reacted thusly when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift: "It's like you stepped on a kitten." Leona Lewis is a sweet lamb of a human being. And NO ONE deserves to slapped, except for maybe the balloon boy's father because he has such a douchey haircut. (And what kind of a name is Heene anyway? One that rhymes with WEENIE, actually. Ha!)

Anyway, here Leona Lewis just made a song (with the help of Ryan Tedder) about just WANTING TO BE HAPPY, and it's about how she can't even get the guy she's secretly in love with, and then she has to go watch him get married to some chick, and then SOMEONE HITS her? She's JUST TRYING TO BE HAPPY. GARRRH. I'M SO ANGRY I COULD BREAK MY MACBOOK AIR!

Okay. Strong Britney. Watch Leona Lewis' "Happy" video -- directed by Jake Nava ("Single Ladies," "She Wolf," "If U Seek Amy") -- off her upcoming album, Echo.

Before Alexa Chung became an instant MTV style icon, beaming into your living room in Topshop embellished dresses, Chanel ballet flats, Chanel bar jacket-inspired cardigans, Phillip Lim leather shorts, and Marc Jacobs, and Comme des Garcons, to name a few, there were MTV's female forerunners of fashion -- Martha Quinn, the bookish girl next door; Downtown Julie Brown who taught us everything we needed to know about '80s power dressing -- and how to get into Club MTV; grunge grrrl Kennedy, and the always amazingly dressed Karen Duffy. Not to mention Cindy Crawford, who taught us that some models can actually talk.

Check out Refinery29's awesome round-up of the women of MTV and their iconic style. And watch Kennedy in action 1996 when Martin Landeau gets all nasty on her, and watch Martha Quinn interview an adorable Drew Barrymore in 1983.

Wubba wubba!

Dollars to donuts this year the streets will be swarming with DIY Lady Gagas this Halloween. Dressing up like the "Bad Romance" singer for Halloween this year is like dressing up like Sarah Palin was last year, except Lady Gaga actually brings us joy.

So, if you're in the market to dress up like Lady Gaga -- specifically Lady Gaga in the red lace see-through outfit she wore to the 2009 VMAs -- and you're sitting there in an entangled mess of red lace and don't know what to do or how the eff to make a crown, you're in luck. The genius crafty folk at ThreadBanger did all figuring-it-out work for you so you can create your Lady Gaga Halloween costume with relative ease in under four hours. (Me? Like, Flyleaf, I prefer the "sack of trash" garbage bag with armholes costume because I'm lazy.) But ThreadBanger's step-by-step Gaga costume tutorial is almost as amazing as Gaga herself. (Via G4tv.com -- and check out "Attack Of The Show"'s Kevin Pereira in Lady Gaga's orbit outfit, which he got at Ross Dress for Less. Ross! Who knew?) Also, if you're thinking of dressing up in this busted Michael Jackson mask, don't.

Total and complete Kevin Federline-sized fail. There's a reason the Michael Jackson estate did NOT sign off on this obvious hack of a "Pop star" mask. Because IT. SUCKS. It looks like a Joker mask with drawn-on and plucked-off eyebrows and poodle perm. If you're gonna dress up like Michael Jackson for Halloween and remember the man who brought us all immeasurable joy through the vehicle of his awesome powers of entertainment, THEN DO THAT, but DO IT WELL. "Fright Factory" is right. This crazy Michael Jackson mask is NO WAY to remember the King Of Pop.

This is how you remember Michael Jackson: Watch four brand-new video clips of Michael Jackson's This Is It documentary. Watch Michael Jackson rehearse "They Don't Care About Us," get an insider's look at Michael rehearsing "The Way You Make Me Feel," get an extended look at "Human Nature," and get a 360-degree look at what would've been Michael Jackson's "This Is It" concert. And don't miss MTV's "Michael Jackson's This is It" premiere special on Tuesday, October 27 at 8:30pm ET.

You're all familiar with the MTV show "My Super Sweet 16," yes? Well how about the ghoulish, horror-themed Halloween spin-off movie, titled, "My Super Psycho Sweet 16"?

It actually premieres tonight, Friday, October 23 at 10pm ET/PT and the premise is simple:

Madison Penrose (Julianna Guill) gets everything she wants, including her wish to re-open the desolate Rollerdome for her sweet sixteen bash. Rollerdome is the site of several grisly murders a decade earlier, and things become "psycho" when the killer returns to crash her party. This fairytale Sweet 16 is going to get ugly, so consider yourself warned!

Alexa Chung had an exclusive clip from the movie yesterday on "It's On With Alexa Chung," and says the clip, "really freaked her out" because she, "hates horror movies." Why? Watch the clip to find out, but here's a hint: maybe it's a nasty head-chopping experience that turned her off the genre. You can also see the trailer below and we have lots more; cast photos, exclusive stills from the "My Super Psycho Sweet 16" movie and interviews with the cast from the red carpet premiere. Bands like AFI, Denali Thrice and more are included in the film's soundtrack too. You really shouldn't miss out. Check out all the extra goodies we have on "My Super Psycho Sweet 16" and don't forget to tune in tonight.

Bill and Tom Kaulitz have made no attempt to hide the fact that school wasn't exactly their favorite place on earth, even though they won an award for distance learning, proving that sometimes smart people flourish outside of the classroom too. And I know a lot of you Tokio Hotel fans out there can relate. (But stay in school, okay? I didn't love school that much either, but I stuck with it, and LOOK AT ME NOW, MA! I GOT A JOB WRITING ABOUT TOKIO HOTEL!)

Anyway, I wanted to know if Bill and Tom had any advice for Tokio Hotel fans who are just trying to survive the school day -- so they can get home and listen to Humanoid and check Buzzworthy for Tokio updates (Yay! Enjoy this one!)

Tokio Hotel are real dudes and can see through a lot of media training 101 bull s++t a lot of artists automatically dish out. So when I asked Bill and Tom Kaulitz about how to get through school, Bill's response was totally straight-up and real about it: "Just close your eyes and do it... But it's always bad."

If you were expecting a canned, shiny, Miss America "save the world" response, Bill and Tom Kaulitz didn't give you one, but their answer was completely real, and whether or not they want to be role models, their fans look up to them. Their answer only made me respect them as down-to-earth guys even more.

Ok, wtf is Ulalume? Well, it's a poem written by macabre and goth-y 19th century poet Edgar Allan Poe (you were awake in English class, right?). It's also the name of MTV's inaugural Ulalume: Howling At New Moon music festival. Wait, it all makes sense and is less esoteric than you think, or sort of.

The music festival takes place at  Columbia, Maryland's Merriweather Post Pavilion tomorrow (October 23) and while Poe was born in Boston, the poet is buried in Maryland (not too far from Poe's grave (spooky!). Plus, the Ulalume fest is Halloween-themed (New Moon! Vampires, werewolves, unrequited crushes!) and premieres on MTV, Friday October 30 at 9:00 p.m. ET. And Twilight fans take note! Cast members from New Moon will be part of this one-hour on-air special, and they will be unveiling an exclusive look at a never-before-seen clip from the highly anticipated release of the second Twilight installment.

Ok, you're not a history buff. How about a fan of groups like Paramore and AFI? Yes, Ulalume has a kick-ass line up that not only includes those headliners, but also features Dead By Sunrise the new band by Chester Bennington of Linkin Park, Kid Cudi and more (umm, rad, right? Buy your tickets here if you haven't already). Come out and celebrate all things spooky in honor of Halloween at the festival if you can make it and if not, tune into MTV next Friday.

BUT, if you don't want to wait long (and you shouldn't), we'll be rolling out bonus performances, interviews, photos and more all next week starting Monday October 26. Check into Buzzworthy and MTV.com for more. Wanna know more? Check out the official Ulalume site on MTVU and or go to Halloween.MTV.com where all our festival highlights will appear. Oh, and let's not forget the hot hostess of the show that's a bit on the jet-black gothy side as well, celebrity tattoo artist Kat Von D. Check out our Ulalume video playlist below and a sexy photo of our hostess with the mmm..mostess.

Don't let that name throw you, Skyler and Mykul have nothing against stereos; Oh No Not Stereo is more of a brush to the haters. It seems some L.A.-ers doubted the ambitions of a "live duo" holding its own as a full-blown rock band... The "stereo" also references Skyler's partial hearing loss due to an ATV accident when he was 11. (Yikes. 11-year-olds on ATVs? ...sounds like some Nitro Circus s**t.)

But ONNS is hearing something just fine -- and they actually rounded out the duo in '07 with a bassist and second guitarist. And after taking in their video, "Let's Get It Started," with its melody-driven rock goodness from 2009 album, 003, we just wish we had caught onto the Oh No sooner.

Skyler, Mykul and crew will tour with Hit The Lights at the end of October, but coolest of all? The group's entire repertoire (all the way back to the 001 album) is up for free download on the ONNS site up until the end of the tour.

Wait, you're thinking electro-poppers 3OH!3 already have a video for their infectious track, "Starstrukk," right? Yes, we showed you the clip in the summer, but that one didn't have a little lass named Katy Perry. Well this is the "Starstrukk" reeeeeeeemix, featuring Ms. Perry, that first hit on their MySpace and then was released as an ITunes single in September.

So yes, now they've done a full, brand-new video for the new video/song that we'll be debuting right here on MTV.com on Monday, October 26.

We've got two goodies for you. A 30-second teaser clip of the video itself and a cool behind-the-scenes piece with director Steve Jocz at Laurel Canyon studios where the duo and Perry shot some of the green-screen fantasy sequences in the video. You'll see. The track is also featured in the Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel film, "When In Rome," and the video is apparently a riff on what goes down in that movie. It comes out in January so we don't know yet other than it's a romantic comedy. Katy, who is buds from their days on the 2008 Warped Tour says, "It's a pretty cool idea," so we'll trust her. It's a bit "sultry and sexier than I typically am," she says. Hey, we're sold. Check out the clips and come back Monday on MTV.com to see the entire video.
