You've seen Tokio Hotel go on the record and confirm there are NO Tokio Hotel sex tapes, you've heard Bill Kaulitz speak out on his one-of-a-kind style, you've heard Bill and Tom's wise thoughts about how to get through school, you'd discovered the secret to what Bill Kaulitz smells likes, and you now know how Tokio Hotel feels about advice.
Now it's time to see why the men of Tokio can't commit -- to a favorite song on Humanoid, that is -- and how they chose the sick cars they drove in their "Automatic" video. You'll also find out why Tokio Hotel is kind of a democracy... as long as Bill gets his way... in part one of Buzzworthy's Tokio Hotel fan question interview!

How does Lady Gaga top, or at the very least match, the groundbreaking artistry of the "Bad Romance" video? Well it's easy. You perform at the Los Angeles Museum Of Contemporary Art's 30th Anniversary, presenting yourself as a piece of art. Didn't you read A Girl's Guide To Crushing The Gallery Scene And Pop Charts At The Same Time?
Gaga performed her new song, "Speechless," wearing a Prada fully bejeweled Prada chandelier skirt and a headpiece by Frank Gehry, at a pink, Damien-Hirst-designed piano (which happened to rotate, naturally... why have a pink piano if it's not going to move, right?), with dancers from Russia's Bolshoi Ballet in tow. She was part of a piece by Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli called Ballet Russes Italian Style (The Shortest Musical You Will Never See Again).
We got a sneak preview of her look for the show in the Italian Vanity Fair photos we posted last week. But needless to say, it seems like it was a performance that needed to be seen to be believed. These snaps from the night will have to suffice.
What do you think? Is the Italian-matron-meets-Russian-dancer-meets-Geisha Gaga's boldest, baddest look yet? Or did Gaga's bloody show at the VMAs trump all?

Here's a video of some rappers, rapping outside of a fast-food spot while a bunch of dudes nod in approval. Sounds about as interesting as watching paint dry, right? WRONG!
Rappers rapping outside of places with a bunch of dudes nodding along is what rap videos should be all about. Clipse are well aware of this. They excel at this very thing (see: "Grindin'"). When you're cooking from their particular recipe (trunk-busting Neptunes beats, dizzying rhymes from Pusha T. and Malice, a killer cameo from Killa' Cam) then you don't need to garnish the dish with special effects or "plot" or choreography.
Directed by Rik Cordero, "Popular Demand (Popeye's)," taken from their upcoming album 'Til The Casket Drops, finds Clipse sticking to this very script; Push, Malice and Cam'ron body the beat and get real deep into some fish sandwiches, while a couple dozen of their closest boys nod along. Join the crowd and nod with 'em (fish sandwich optional).

Ohhhh Kristen Stewart. Can we talk? You have "such a pretty face," as they say. So WHY the mullet? Por que the fe-mullay? The mullet made an appearance in Paris, Madrid, and the UK, and there's no sign of relenting. I know you're still growing it out after playing Joan Jett in The Runaways... And while I haven't played Joan Jett in a major motion picture, I've been there during that awkward in-betweener growing-out phase. It's THE WORST. It's that past-your-shoulders-but-not-long-enough-for-a-ponytail conundrum. It's annoying on a daily basis. But Kristen, that's what extensions are for. Just ask Jessica Simpson or Paris Hilton. The choppy upper-deck layers and dead-fish bangs are not how a woman lives her "Best Life," as Oprah would say. And like Oprah, I just want what's best for you. That's all. Don't worry. I'm still seeing New Moon.

For her edition of MTV Unplugged, Katy Perry scrubbed the glitter off her brash, brassy anthems. Taking full advantage of the intimate, candlelit setting, Perry radically reworked some of her most well-known and most-adored jams, and showcased a whole new side of herself as a performer, arranger, and songwriter. Gone are the pulsing beats, washes of synths and walls of guitar, replaced by a hushed, jazzy set-up featuring, at times, upright bass, strings and horns. But the songs remain the same: witty, vulnerable and crammed with hooks.
"I Kissed A Girl"
Katy's second single gets a cabaret jazz send up, attendant with stand-up bass and torch singer vocals.
"Lost"
Described as one of the more personal songs on her album, One Of The Boys, Katy gives a little background to the ballad "Lost," before performing a heart-rendering version of the track.
"Ur So Gay"
A sly insult to an ex-boyfriend with a flair for H&M scarves, it's the song that announced Katy Perry's arrival to the music world. "Ur So Gay" gets a a horn-heavy revamp.

Rihanna's brand-new video, "Russian Roulette," directed by Anthony Mandler, is a dreadful and dark approach to end of a relationship. And while her emotional, cinematic "Russian Roulette" video can be interpreted as a somewhat literal look at the powerful song's metaphor, it's Rihanna's symbolic way of saying "No, REALLY, I'm done," leaving the past behind, and leaving little doubt that she hits back HARD.

Last time I caught up with Honor Society was in a basement bathroom. Which actually wasn't as gross as it sounds. Before that, they taught me the Honor Roll (which I still kind of suck at). But yesterday, Honor Society dropped by MTV for a private performance in the MTV music lounge. A handful of staffers were treated to all-acoustic versions of "Over You," "Two Rebels," and "See U In The Dark" (and great leather jackets!) Oh, and Andrew had a cool pear shaker! I want one! After that, Honor Society jetted off to their sold-out New York show, where they also had their fans bring canned food. (Such a good idea. You listening, "other bands"?)
Check out these exclusive photos of Jason Rosen, Alexander Noyes, Michael Bruno, and Andrew Lee warming up before their private performance at MTV, and watch their brand-new video, "Over You" (again).

Wow, R. Kelly. To invoke a joke from 2005, why can't I quit you? Maybe it's because, despite everything (and I think we all know what that means), you keep coming up with modern art masterpieces like this... this... this ode to reproduction, "Pregnant."
So many bon mots here, it's hard to choose. Kells compares his taste in women to his taste in tequila, meets a girl with an "unbelievable booty" and decides he wants to move with her to a picket-fenced suburb with a dog. There's also a lot of talk about getting said lady pregnant, but I figured you could infer that from the song title. At this point in his career, R. Kelly isn't playing games. He just wants to go Cody Chesnutt on you.
BTW -- and this is also disturbing -- Tyrese, who has a verse of his own on the song, seems to be talking to the exact same girl (though I could be wrong). Either way, bravo, Kells. You have done it again.
