She may look innocent, but Paramore's Hayley Williams is hiding a dirty, little secret--actually she's hiding the rest of Paramore underneath her house in the group's new video, for the song "Playing God." Hayley also goes on to poison her friends at lunch à la Lady Gaga and Beyoncé in "Telephone." It's always the quiet ones...

Shot entirely in Hayley Williams' Franklin, Tenn., home, "Playing God" begins with the singer looking solemn in a car, rummaging through old photos. After she visits her band in the crawl space underneath her house (you know, no big deal), a housewife-looking Hayley prepares a lovely lunch for a group of friends. And by "lovely" I mean "poison in your lemonade." At the end of the video, it looks like Hayley. Williams sees the error of her ways and decides to release the band after she unties them, but just kidding! She leaves the rest of Paramore under her house forever.

While on the surface "Playing God" might be a fun video about hostages and deadly meals, "Playing God" is actually an interesting take on Paramore and their trials and tribulations of remaining a band. "Playing God" isn't exactly about kissing and making up, but thankfully for us, it definitely seems like Paramore is on more stable ground than they once were.

When the Kardashians lay back in their chaise lounges made of money and pet their teacup Yorkies with their immaculate nails and survey their media and diet system empire, they see Miami, they see Los Angeles and, if these shots of sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian are anything to go by, they will soon see New York.

Yes, the quasi-reality of the Kardashians is stomping all over NYC like that monster from "Cloverfield," if the monster from "Cloverfield" wore Jimmy Choos.

Kim and Kourtney Kardashian are in town, seeing the sights from a big red tour bus, filming their new show "Kourtney And Kim Take New York," which documents the opening of the NYC branch of the sisters' boutique, DASH.

Check out more photos of Kourtney and Kim Kardashian below. "Kourtney And Kim Take New York" will air on E! in January.

So get this: Justin Bieber recently launched BieberPix.com, a "Justin Bieber Tour Photography" website full of (you guessed it) exclusive Justin Bieber tour pictures. The photo forum features exclusive pictures of Justin, taken by New York photographer/cinematographer Robert Caplin, and all of the photos are available for purchase. Even better, all proceeds from the pictures go to an unnamed charity.

Sounds sweet and innocent, right? A cool, unique thing for fans to enjoy access to photos of Justin Bieber? Yeah, we thought the same thing at first. But we HAVE to say something about a few pictures in the photo gallery...

Justin Bieber is SHIRTLESS. I repeat: Justin Bieber is shirtless. In an OFFICIAL capacity.

Most of the photo gallery consists of pictures of Justin Bieber just bein' Bieber--performing onstage, mugging for the camera, wearing hoodies and riding a Segway(?). But then BOOM, out of nowhere two photos appear of our little Justin WITH NO SHIRT ON. You can even see his underwear in one of them! Awkward!

I don't know, guys. Last time we checked, Justin Bieber was 16 years old. Does this seem a little odd to anyone else? Justin Bieber has been on a bodice-bearing tear, flashing his abs at Rihanna (we can't say we blame him). It's one thing to see a shirtless picture of Justin on the Internet, but it's entirely another to charge $33 for a 24"x36" to hang in your room.

+ What do you guys think? Are we ready to pay for shirtless Justin Bieber?

With their new album What Separates Me From You, out now, A Day To Remember is already out on the road, touring behind the record, preaching their screamo gospel to fans everywhere. Lead singer Jeremy McKinnon was nice enough to write a guest tour blog for us, detailing life on the road. Check out the entry below and be sure to watch A Day To Remember's tour videos, "Right Where You Want Me To Be" video and the group's cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," after Jeremy's post!

Hello all, I'm writing tonight from Albany, N.Y. Today was the sixth show of our tour with Close Your Eyes, The Word Alive, and Underoath. It started snowing this morning almost as soon as I woke up.

Our band is from Florida, so it's always pretty awesome for us when we see snow--at least for the first few days. Tonight we decided that our set hasn't felt long enough the last few shows, so we added another two songs to our already 17-song set, making tonight the longest we've ever played during a headline show. We played a few songs that we never play, the main one being "Holding It Down For The Underground." It went over really well, so we're more than likely gonna add it for the rest of the tour.

Next stop is Poughkeepsie. I'm always really excited about any shows in the Northeast, because it's one of our favorite areas in the country. Even though the shows have been awesome, I'm still super anxious mainly because our new record comes out in about a week. I call the time in between a record being turned in and being released "limbo," and it's killing me!

Before we left, we filmed our portion of our new music video for "All I Want." One of our own, Drew Russ, is directing the video. He's the mastermind behind all videos of us that people find funny. We're also getting a lot of our friends involved with the video as well, so I'm actually more excited about this one than I've ever been.

Make sure to check it out. In closing, I just asked Shelnutt to grab me a drink, and in so many words he pretty much told me to "F-off." Now I know who my friends are... Check out our new record What Separates Me From You, out on Nov. 16, and I'll see you guys on the road!

Attention, Little Monsters! Lady Gaga wants YOU! The Mama Monster herself is teaming up with V Magazine for a photo contest that will land one of her fans in the January 2011 issue of the magazine!

Here's the deal: Dust off your Lady Gaga Halloween costume, strike your most Gagalicious pose and snap some hi-res pictures (300 dpi). Send them to V Magazine by Nov. 28 and wait to see if you made the cut.

No Gaga Halloween costume in the closet? Time to strategize. We think the most obvious choice is Gaga's meat dress, for which you need one (1) couture butcher, two (2) diamond bracelets and one (1) really understanding family.

And let's not forget about these other important pieces of Gaga culture: the Mickey Mouse sunglasses from the "Telephone" video, the lightning bolt eye from "Just Dance" and the red-lace Slim Jim outfit from the 2009 MTV VMAs. There are so many choices!

Godspeed, little monsters. Hit the craft store or the butcher (or both?) and get it!

A giant doff of the fedora to Drake, who was named one of GQ's Men of the Year today. Drake joins Stephen Colbert, Jeff Bridges, James Franco and Scarlett Johansson, who was named "babe of the year."

Drake's has had a great year, releasing one of the most successful album debuts in recent memory with his Thank Me Later album. But Drake's GQ nod got us thinking: If we were running things, who would be our men (and babe) of the year? Let's take a look!

+ Nick Jonas: Nick's had a pretty dizzying 2010, starting on the heels of the release of his Nick Jonas & The Administration album, his world tour with the Jonas Brothers and his performance on the London stage in "Les Miserables." This Renaissance Man deserves some cred!

+ Justin Bieber: Arguably the world's biggest pop star under 20, Justin Bieber may not be a "man" just yet, but give him credit for getting more done (album, videos, book, movie, dolls!) in one year than most people do in their entire lives.

+ Kanye West: Kanye could be a man of the year for the Twitter account, alone. But, oh yeah, he put out a pretty good album, too.

+ Hayley Williams: Paramore's awesome frontwoman toured the world and soared on "Airplanes," her hit with B.o.B. and one of the year's best songs. And she dyed her hair pink like what!? Give that woman a cover!

+ Who would be your man (or woman) of the year? Let us know in the comments!

Could her signature scent be the reason the unspecified gentleman thinks she's pretty without any makeup on? Katy Purry/Perry may have over-the-top taste in performance outfits, but she's proven to have purr-fect taste in perfume packaging. Can you even HANDLE so many feline funnies? You CAN'T. But seriously, in our off-hours from Buzzworthy, we nurture a serious proclivity for products. And we've assessed that a fair statement about beauty items overall in 2010 is that cats are having a major moment. And kudos to Katy Perry for getting involved with that niche of the industry and, in the words of the great LL Cool J, doing it and doing it WELL. Not bad for Katy's first foray into fragrance.

Katy Perry's new perfume, Purr by Katy Perry, is housed in an absolutely adorable bottle shaped like a futuristic purple cat rocking a heart-charmed collar. The cat's face is reminiscent of a feline Eve, as in WALL-E's robotic pal. The quirky-cute bottle's vibe is congruent with that of Katy herself: It's a little teenage dream mixed with cool California gurl.

The fragrance starts with the aroma of peach nectar and apple, evolves with a distinct floral bouquet of jasmine blossom, Bulgarian rose and vanilla orchid, and slowly reveals accents of creamy sandalwood and musk. Or so we're told. A saccharine-sweet overlay on a seriously sexy foundation? What's more Katy Perry than that? We can't wait to spray ourselves silly with it.

Purr by Katy Perry, hits shelves shortly at Nordstrom and will retail for $45 and up. And if you're lucky enough to be in New York City, you can catch up with Katy Perry's Purr Truck. Follow Katy Perry on Twitter to see where the truck stops, and watch Katy Perry's Purr launch on KatyPerryBeauty.com.

Will you be sampling Eau de Katy P?

A lot of people might wonder just where the heck this Bruno Mars guy came from. It seems like one day he was a tiny Elvis, and the next he was cranking out hit songs; penning hits for Cee-Lo, B.o.B and Travie McCoy; and recording his own hit album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans.

After checking out this sneak preview of Bruno's new video for his single "Grenade," I think we might be seeing the secret of his success: hard work!

Sorry to sound like your gym teacher, but it's true! And just look at Bruno, singing in rather stunning Michael Jackson falsetto and pulling a piano up a hill in the hot California sun. That's just elbow grease right there.

Watch a sneak peek of Bruno Mars' "Grenade" video below, and don't miss the premiere of the video on Friday, Nov. 19, on MTV and MTV.com.

You know if it's a celebrity walking in an airport, it's going to catch our eye. This is a well-documented obsession of ours. And the latest addition to our collection of arrivals and departures paparazzi shots is Taylor Swift, who touched down in Tokyo yesterday (or today...it's hard to tell with the time difference).

Taylor looks about as good as one possibly can after getting off a flight from Los Angeles. The "Mine" singer was hitting up Tokyo to promote her new album, Speak Now. She was just in England, earlier this week, where she performed at the BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards:

That probably wouldn't have been that comfortable to fly in, right? So Taylor went with a real simple jeans and blouse combo. It's probably a pretty fun time for Taylor in Japan right now; she's got a hit album, she's in all the headlines and, most of all, she'll get to brush up on the conversational Japanese she picked up last time she was in the country (at least that's what she told David Letterman).

Li shigoto, girl (that means "nice job") (according to Google).
