Because nothing says Monday morning after a snowstorm like Mariah Carey taking off her Prada pumps and strolling on the beach, we proudly present to you the latest clip from Mimi (and director Brett "Rush Hour" Ratner), "H.A.T.E. U"

The song is actually one of the prettiest and most effective numbers of Mariah's Memoirs Of An Imperfect Angel.

Written by the dynamic duo of Tricky Stewart and The-Dream (the dudes who wrote Rihanna's "Umbrella" and countless other chart smashes), "H.A.T.E. U" sounds even lighter and more lovelorn than it did when The-Dream's version of the song made the Internet rounds earlier this year as "Can't Wait To Hate U" (try and track that down if you can).

The video is a slow-mo, beachwear fashion show by Meemz. Equally depressed by the end of a relationship and inspired by the scenery, Mimi spends a few minutes suggestively touching herself and staring into the middle distance. What becomes of the broken-hearted? Have a look and find out.

Never Shout Never's Christofer Drew stopped by Buzzworthy HQ to answer some of your questions and we documented this momentous occasion on camera.

Based on the rather nautical nature of his attire, you might have thought Drew was just back from hanging with Ahab, hunting the great white Whale out there on the Atlantic. But you would be incorrect!

Drew was just feeling kinda maritime-y as he hit the pause button on prepping his upcoming What Is Love album to answer some of the fan-submitted questions we collected.

Drew responds to queries on organized religion, his parents' reaction to his music, the personal meanings of some of his tattoos and what he's been reading recently.

Check out the entire Never Shout Never Buzzworthy Blog Fan Interview below!

Just what the world was screaming out for, a Weird-Al-style dork-take on Ke$ha's intoxicating paean to intoxication, "Tik Tok."

British kids Midnight Beast have put their own, somewhat less debauched spin on Ke$ha's hangover anthem. And it's quickly caught the eye of the "Tik Tok" gal herself.

In her typically dainty fashion, Ke$ha tweeted (from her @Keshasuxx handle) "Holy. S++t. This is better than my version."

The Midnight Beast version of "Tik Tok" espouses a liv- fast, die-young lifestyle of eating your dessert first, trying to catch glimpses of naked girls and avoiding the wrath of your parents. It's all rendered with some amusing choreography and some rhyming in the style of The Streets.

Which one do you guys like better? Ke$ha's trashy L.A. original? Or the Midnight Beast Brit-nerd take? Watch both below.

Holy Italian Neo-realism, Batman. Check out Madonna looking like the most fabulous Italian housewife ever in this Steven Klein-shot campaign for Dolce & Gabbana's Spring/Summer 2010 line.

The campaign, which will debut in Italian Vanity Fair (which already dazzled us with their Lady Gaga as pregnant ballerina shoot), finds Madonna doing a number of day-to-day household chores.

The campaign was, "a dream come true," according to Stefano Gabbana, who had always hoped to work with the Material Girl. Klein's shots are reminiscent of the post-WWII films of Luchino Visconti and Roberto Rossellini. Madge was apparently, "impressively knowledgeable about Italian cinema."

Check out more shots below, and keep your peepers peeled for the full campaign next year.

Taken along with Asher Roth's "I Love College," T-Pain's new video for "Take Your Shirt Off" (the first single from his upcoming RevolveR album, due out in March '10) is making me consider grad school.

This Gil Green-directed re-telling of Revenge Of The Nerds, tells the feel-good story of how T-Pain Auto-Tunes academia, while driving around in an orange Hearse.

"Take Your Shirt Off" is actually a blast; it's colorful and funny, and it features some great step dancing. The song itself rides a rather kinetic beat (kinetic relative to other T-Pain tracks) and sees a more restrained use of Auto-Tune by Mr. T.

Check out the video for "Take Your Shirt Off." And don't forget to hit the books, kids.

Answering a wide range of questions, Mayday talk about how the band has changed in the time between 2007's A Lesson In Romantics and Anywhere..., some embarrassing on-stage moments, pre-show rituals, the respective merits of waffles versus pancakes and tons more.

Check out this epic Mayday Parade Buzzworthy Fan Interview. After all you guys did all the heavy lifting, it's time to enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Vampire Weekend's mix of African pop and Western rock sounds have often drawn comparisons to the 80's work of Paul Simon, who made a mint with his wildly popular Graceland album, working off the same, basic set up.

It's a comparison born out of a similarity of influences shared by the two (folk, Afro-Pop), rather than a similarity of sound between them.  But on this wonderful new song from Vampire Weekend's upcoming second album, Contra, they really do sound like Paul Simon! And it's really great.

"White Sky," is the third single (or, really, release) from Contra, and it's a beautiful slice of Graceland-esque pop; with subtle guitar work and singer Ezra Koenig singing about "horses racing taxi cabs" in a dead-on Simon voice.

Contra is due out January 12th.

Tokio Hotel's new "World Behind My Wall" video is all about burning down the walls that hold Tokio Hotel back from the rest of the world and about letting them into your world (and you into theirs). But the fire within "World Behind My Wall" was no trickery of CGI. That was some real, scary-ass pyro.

In this behind-the-scenes video shot on the set of "World Behind My Wall," you'll get a look at the hotness (harr!) that is the boys' new clip, and you'll see Tokio Hotel braving the flames and getting a few important lessons in fire safety.

In a very meta move, go behind the behind-the-scenes of this frankly very dangerous looking video. And see which member of Tokio Hotel almost got his pants seared off. And discover more little moments of this all-about-the-little-moments Tokio Hotel video, directed by Daniel Wolfe.

Saddest day. Last episode of It's On With Alexa Chung. Worst news. Here's what Alexa wore on her last episode of It's On With Alexa Chung, with All Time Low and Snookie from Jersey Shore. (Having Snookie on your last show is either a total coup or total bummer. I'm not sure which.)

Thursday, December 17
+ Dress: Charles Anastase
+ Cardigan: Wren
+ Shoes: Marni

Alexa's flocked frock is by French designer Charles Anastase, and it's $855 at Opening Ceremony.us.

... Or... check out this Marc By Marc Jacobs heart-covered (HEART-a-dotted?) velvet dress. It's $328 at Bloomingdales.com. (And I love it.)

Okay. I'm sad to see Alexa go off the MTV airwaves, but I'm sure she's off to do big things. By all means, do come back to the MTV Buzzworthy Blog for more stylish things, okay?
