Problem: You've got a bunch of crap you need to carry, but your butt's too busy for a fanny pack... Or... your butt thinks it's too cool for a fanny pack, but your head's smart enough to recognize the liberation of going hands-free.

Solution: The Cap Sac -- a collection of zip-pouched baseball caps that come in the type of '80s bright colors reserved for fanny packs (or go-to Saved By The Bell hangout The Max) but now available for your head. It's the most ridiculous hat to come along since the flamingo hat, and the most practical hat invention since the beer helmet. Check out the Cap Sac, which goes perfectly with your Zack Morris tattoo, and tell me if it's rad or bad.

It should come as no great shock that Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" video was a massive undertaking. Directed by uber-stylish feature film director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Constantine), the video has the high-end production value of a blockbuster movie.

In this behind-the-scenes look at the making of Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance," you'll see just how significant an endeavor the whole thing was. Francis Lawrence talks about CGI diamonds raining on Gaga, while dancers praise Gaga's relentless work ethic. And the swarthy, gold-face-masked Russian gangster at the center of the video gives some insight into his "character."

It's a fascinating look at what is, arguably, the video of the year.

Lady Gaga doesn't just change outfits a lot, she also changes vocal styles. Take, for instance, "Bad Romance," which features Gaga takes several different emotional stances: from the robotic chanting in the beginning of the song, to the hysterical neediness of the chorus, to the surly fashionista in the break.

For their remix of Gaga's latest smash, neo-disco masterminds Hercules & Love Affair (who put out lush, romantic dance floor lullabies on the DFA label) have added another wrinkle to her performance, assembling a kind of compilation of her various voices from the song.

The effect is beguiling; Gaga sounds disembodied, cut and pasted together over the lovely, stuttering, electro dance track.

The 2009 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show went down in New York City last night, and in case you're not familiar with the year event don't get it twisted -- the pieces modeled by famous hoofers like Heidi Klum, Miranda Kerr, Marissa Miller, and Chanel Iman aren't the stuff of Victoria's Secret mall locations. These ladies aren't showing off the polka-dotted cotton undies you stock up on at your location VS.

The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, which will air on CBS on December 1, is always an over-the-top celebration of gaudy glitz and glam and beyond-perfect bodies. And the annual show is a guaranteed celeb draw -- Jay-Z, Russell Simmons, Jay Sean, Keri Hilson, the Kings Of Leon, Patricia Field, Zac Posen and Christian Siriano were in attendance this year -- but this year, the show's "Star Trooper" collection seemed to have stolen its style, or at least heavily borrowed some inspiration from Lady Gaga and the Haus of Gaga. Observe, won't you?

Selita Ebanks wears a gold-spiked white bustier that looks an awful lot like the gold-spiked dress Lady Gaga wore to the Y100 Jingle Ball in December 2008. And that white bustier leotard looks just like Gaga's outfit in Beyonce's "Video Phone" video.

It's been a minute (a few minutes, really) since we had a Kid Sister video to enjoy. The Chicago MC broke out two years ago with the Kanye West-assisted "Pro Nails," with a video directed Zombieland auteur Rueben Fleischer.

Now, with her album Ultraviolet finally on shelves and in stores, Kid Sis is back on disc, wax, tape, and, for our purposes here, on screen.

"Right Hand Hi" is a fab piece of J.J. Fad electro-hop, with a half-dozen hooks crammed into a tight, burst of a jam. The video has some flashing lights, some flashy choreography, and a projected Kid Sister doing her thing on building walls.

How do you cure a broken heart? Well, according to this brand new Alicia Keys video for her song, "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" -- from her upcoming The Element of Freedom album -- you help the less fortunate.

In this Syndrome-directed clip, Keys takes on a rather messianic/martyr pose, healing wounded puppies and zooming around NYC on a motorcycle that shoots out purple, Tron-like exhaust from its pipes.

Can Super Alicia (who can fly in this video, BTW) cure her own relationship woes in the same fashion that she heals ailing canines? You'll have to watch to find out.

Is Justin Bieber the new Robert Pattinson? I mean, sure he's shorter, younger, smiles way more, seems 100,000 times more fun, pretty much OWNS Twitter, and he's far better at music. But, like R Pattz, Justin Bieber not only has impressive hair, but he's a TOTAL ladykiller. Girls twice, even three times Justin Bieber's age are like SCREAMING their makeup off for The Biebs.

Watch him perform "One Less Lonely Girl" from today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung, and see why Justin Bieber is basically Robert Pattinson, minus the British accent and brooding.

Huffington Post just posted footage of Lady Gaga performing at an NYU talent show back in 2005. In the video, Lady Gaga looks much like she did when she appeared on MTV's Boiling Points around the same time. There are no disco sticks, no bloody costumes, no "Bad Romance" creepy crawly models, not even a wig. Just Stefani Germanotta, a piano, and a powerful set of pipes. She wasn't Lady Gaga yet, but clearly she had the fame inside her. Tellingly, the pre-Gaga Lady Gaga sang out, "I'm gonna change the world with my lips."

The bearded men of Death Cab For Cutie were lucky enough to have the first single from the New Moon soundtrack with "Meet Me On The Equinox." And aside from making them extremely popular with the Twi-hard crowd, it's automatically immersed them in Twilight lore and philosophy.

In this video interview, taken during Death Cab's mtvU Woodie Award rehearsals (that's The Dead Weather rehearsing in the background), guitarist Chris Walla and bassist Nick Harmer sound off on a few Twilight issues.

Chris declares his preference for Bella's unassuming dad out of all the Twilight characters, while Nick drops some knowledge on Twilight's larger appeal, relating it to the current political climate and consumerism.

Nick Harmer then opens a HUGE can of worms by openly speculating on the chances of a Twilight musical. (As opposed to Twilight the Musical, the YouTube parody.) Wonder if Death Cab would be up for scoring that?
