Here we have a visual buffet of absolutely spiffy pics of the fraternal trio Hanson. I use the word spiffy because it's a wholesome, fun word and Hanson are a wholesome, fun bunch of guys (in case you missed the last 10 years).

It's crazy how far Zac, Taylor and Isaac Hanson have come from their "MMMBop" days of world domination. Despite the incomprehensible amount of fame they experienced at a young age, the Hanson brothers seem like really cool, well-adjusted young men, as you can see from this new collection of MTV photos.

Sadly, Hanson decided not to rock their Blues Brothers suits, as they do in their awesome "Thinking 'Bout Somethin' " video. But that is a small and petty problem, right?

See below for more photos and Hanson's "Thinking 'Bout Somethin' " video.

For anyone who has ever entered a hotel room and wondered to themselves who else had spent a random night in the same room, have we got a video for you! Behold, the premiere of Secondhand Serenade's "Something More," the first single from its upcoming third album, Hear Me Now.

Secondhand Serenade is the vehicle that singer/songwriter John Vesely uses to get his songs out into the world. With the help of producer Aaron Johnson (from The Fray), Vesely makes somber, intimate pop rock, full of quiet, contemplative moments.

"Something More" is a perfectly typical Secondhand Serenade song. Directed by Declan Whitebloom, the video matches the track's gorgeously depressing sound as we follow a series of temporary residents, caught between stations as they wander through their lives.

Check out the video below. Hear Me Now is due out in August.

Guys, more often than not, try to look good. You may not believe it when you see some dude walking down the street wearing an "I'm With Stupid" T-shirt and a floppy Dr. Seuss hat, but it's the truth. But then Justin Timberlake has to go and ruin it for all of us.

Most of us get up in the morning and try and find something that's presentable but also comfortable enough to get through the day in. And then Justin Timberlake comes along, looking like he walked out of DETAILS magazine; his outfit saying, "I've got those TPS reports you asked for, Tammy," and "Perhaps we could get an appletini after work, Tammy," at the same time.

The above snap was taken on the set of "Friends With Benefits," a romantic comedy starring Timbo and Mila Kunis. The title pretty much explains what the movie is about.

Let's end with a Justin video. Because even when he's rocking khakis, he's bringing sexy back.

If Katy Perry had only given us her candy-coated "California Gurls" video -- set in the fictitious (uh, obviously) land of "Candyfornia," where cotton candy grows on trees, Gummi Bears flip the bird, bras are actually just projectile vehicles for whipped cream and everything is edible -- it would've been enough for us. But Katy Perry did us one better. She's finally pulled back the curtain and revealed the behind-the-scenes secrets of what went into making her "California Gurls" video ... besides a metric ton of sugar.

Together with director Mathew Cullen and more creative visionaries who helped bring "California Gurls" to life, Katy Perry finally answers the question many of you were wondering -- why candy? -- in these behind-the-scenes videos from the set of the "California Gurls" video. Katy and Mathew Cullen explain that they wanted a vision of California as a sugary, bright land of indulgence that embraced "all things cute." And they show you everything that went into creating this magical Cali candy wonderland. You'll meet artist-director Will Cotton, whose paintings of candy landscapes inspired the creative direction and design. You'll meet Katy's "California Gurls" dancers, find out which L.A. landmarks are hidden in the set, see why Snoop got gamed, see how the gingerbread man was brought to life and more.

We The Kings are certainly a pretty knowable bunch of dudes. In their music videos and their King's Carriage comedy clips, they come across as boys next door who just happen to be in an unstoppable pop-rock band. Still, We The Kings fans are often left wanting more. Well, lucky for us, we have this three-part WTK fan question interview so we can all get to know even more about Travis (above, with his dog), and Hunter. It's all part of the embarrassment of We The Kings riches from Posted.MTV.com.

Travis Clark and Hunter Thomsen (who is rocking a mighty spiffy Newcastle United football jersey), were nice enough to take a break from their Warped Tour and answer as many fan questions as they could in this supersize We The Kings Q&A.

In these interview clips, Travis and Hunter talk "Twilight," hair care tips (the trick is constant touring and sleeping in a bus!), future touring plans (to Australia), how they feel about being treated like royalty (har har) in Tampa, Florida, and much, much more.

Check out all three We The Kings interview clips below as well as Travis' latest tour diary. And stay tuned for more up-to-the-minute tour diaries, updates, photos, videos and more from We The Kings on Posted.MTV.com.

Prom queens, quarterbacks and valedictorians all probably operate under the assumption that they're popular. Guess what, kids: SLOW YOUR ROLL! You are not popular. Lady Gaga is popular. She JUST surpassed more than 5 million followers on Twitter. That's probably no bigs if you're "aplusk," (Ashton Kutcher, who's been at 5 million for a while now). But 5 million Twitter followers is approximately (as of today), 1.1 million more than Justin Bieber's Twitter followers, and we all know Bieber pretty much owns the internet.

So, how much is 5 million? Let's take a look at what 5 million looks like, not just in terms of Gaga's Twitter followers and little monsters, but in the context of some other real-life, non-Gaga concepts.

+ 5 million is the amount of Hyundai Sonatas sold. Ever.

Boom. 25 years in the game, 5 million cars sold. This anonymous sedan is the choice of rental car agencies, corporate car pools and people who are not trying to stand out with their automobile choices.

+ 5 million is roughly the population of the Atlanta metro area.

Imagine if almost everyone in the ATL went to Piedmont Park, pulled out their mobile devices, went on to Twitter and hit "follow" for @LadyGaga.

+ 5 million was the population of Britain ... in the 17th Century!

That's a lot of dukes, barons, peasants and blacksmiths!

+ (Almost) 5 million is the amount of physical albums sold in the U.S. as of the end of May 2010.

And Lady Gaga was responsible for a lot of those!

+ 5 million is almost as many Twitter followers as Britney Spears.

Which means Gaga is in good company.

In videos for songs such as "I'm Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?" and "The Plot To Bomb The Panhandle," A Day To Remember has been shown to be one heavy band that doesn't mind making light of itself. These exclusive MTV.com pics are no different.

Despite making hard-rocking yet melodic metal-core music, this Florida band knows how to have a laugh. And that's exactly what they did during this shoot. Whether it's a shot of guitarist Kevin Skaff dreaming of a six-string or singer Jeremy McKinnon holding a cartoon microphone, the band doesn't take itself too seriously.

Check out a few photos and A Day To Remember's "Have Faith In Me" video, all below.

By now it's common knowledge that Katy Perry wrote "California Gurls" so West Coasters wouldn't get all pouty over the East Coast's bragging rights that came with Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State Of Mind." But in this new MTV.com interview, Katy Perry explains how "California Gurls" became a one-size-fits-all-gurls anthem inspired by a tweet from an Amish girl (wait, the Amish use Twitter?!?).

Katy also reveals which "California Gurls" are her favorite West Coast gurls, including Katy's style icon Bettie Page, who wasn't from California but did die there. And Katy also looks into her "California Gurls" crystal ball and predicts that Judy Jetson will be the "California Gurl" of the future!

Plus, come back to Buzzworthy tomorrow when we'll have behind-the-scenes video footage from Katy's "California Gurls" video. And check out our 10 favorite things about "California Gurls."

Last week we gave you a sneak peek at The Maine's new video, "Inside Of You," from its recently released Black & White album. And now, as promised, we have the full-length clip.

The Arizona band's basically made two videos in one here. There's a performance aspect, shot in crisp black and white, as the band rocks out in a stark white room on a black-and-white tiled floor.

Alternatively, there's a narrative aspect. Shot in blurry black-and-white bordering on sepia tones, we follow a young boy as he navigates his way through a wake for an old man who one assumes is his grandfather.

The old man "visits" the boy, giving him a magical telescope. When the boy looks through the scope, he sees a world full of magical colors and characters. Pretty beautiful and meaningful, too.

Check out The Maine's "Inside Of You" video, directed by Mike Jones and Jim Sullos, below.
