We hadn't seen Joe Jonas and Ashley Greene do their professional hand-holding routine in public for quite a while. What with Joe on the road with the Jonas Brothers and Ashley likely filming the first of the final installments of "Twilight," Jashley's been pretty busy.

But they there were in cold and blustery New York City last night, and they seem to be handling the winter just fine. The couple dined at the NYC hot spot The Lion, where they might have had the $55 cannelloni tubes with truffles. Because when Joe Jonas takes his girl to a West Village eatery, money and truffles are no object.

While the restaurant already sounds like an exclusive place to chow down, it was made that much harder to get into by the JoShley (does that work? JoShley?). Upon their arrival, apparently everyone who didn't have reservations was cleared out of the bar.

Just goes to show you, when it comes to being in the celebrity club, membership has its privileges.

I give in. For the last few weeks Christina Aguilera has been all over the world and, subsequently, all over the internet. The "Not Myself Tonight" singer has been on a magical mystery tour, promoting her newish film, "Burlesque," in countries far and wide. And there seemingly hasn't been a moment of said tour that has not been photographed and posted to the web.

A few weeks back we showed you a shot of Christina Aguilera having a somewhat premature birthday celebration during a press conference in Japan. That was cute! But as Christina Aguilera traveled the globe, I unexpectedly developed a tiny bit of fatigue at seeing her, usually with Cher in tow, trotting out her movie and smiling for the camera in pretty much every major metropolis on Planet Earth.

However! We have come out of "Burlesque" propaganda retirement due to the above shot of Xteenz at the film's Berlin premiere.

How about that braid!? You gotta give props to anyone who sports a regional-appropriate hairstyle to a public event such as this. Here we have Christina rocking what Us Weekly's calling "Heidi" braids. (No, not Heidi Montag.) Very "Sound Of Music"!

What do you think of Christina Aguilera's Germanic hairstyle? Let us know in the comments!

The internet is strange and crazy place. (They let everyone on here!) While websites like Google and Wikipedia have changed the face of fact-finding forever, let's be honest: The greatest thing that ever happened was online shopping. You can buy anything at any time from any place! (40 pounds of Skittles? A yodeling pickle? Yes and please.)

Since your nondenominational politically correct holiday of choice is just around the corner, we know you might still have some of your own online shopping to do. And, as always, Buzzworthy is here to help!

Is your brother all up on Kanye West this year? We got you covered. Does your niece have Bieber Fever? No problem. Check out some of Buzzworthy's "interesting" gift suggestions for the music fan in your life.

Kanye West: According to the artist, these goggles are based on Kanye's famous shutter shades. Call us crazy, but aren't you supposed to be able to see out of goggles? Are those bottle tops? Donuts? Great Satisfactory Sharpie work, though.

Justin Bieber: These intricate Justin Bieber jeans (Beans?) have got us like "Baby, baby, baby, ohh/Like, baby, baby, baby, NO." We're just kind of wondering what these jeans look like when they're actually on, and that painted Justin Bieber is all scrunched up, um, up there...

Taylor Swift: Straight from the Jake Gyllenhaal Home Collection, we have the "All Taylor, All The Time" bedding set, complete with a free throw pillow! What a great way to turn your penchant for Taylor Swift into a full-blown obsession. Restraining order sold separately.

30 Seconds To Mars: This "Hurricane" polymer clay character is 7 inches long, 4 inches high and is filled to the brim with WTF. Honestly, the craftsmanship is pretty awesome, but we might not have enough room for this next to our...other stuff that takes up allllll the room on our shelves, sorry.

Katy Perry: Tired of hearing "They were all out of the Katy Perry light switch plates again, honey"? Lucky for you, someone on the internet makes them! Wee!

Better get a move on, guys! Only a few shopping days left, and our guess is if you pick up one of these bad boys, your someone special will never forget it.

MTV designer Sean Gresens, pictured below (the one in the middle and the only one without a black bar ominously concealing his identity) works here on the 17th floor of MTV, which is Buzzworthy headquarters and home to MTV TJ Gabi. As if those two claims to fame (and the fact that we have free soda and a Foosball table in our kitchen) weren't good enough reasons to make the 17th floor the most awesome place to work since Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce, it's also now home to what I'm pretty sure is the only Patrick Swayze tattoo in all of MTV. Especially the only tattoo of Patrick Swayze in To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. (Me, I would've gone for Patrick Swayze in "Dirty Dancing," "Roadhouse," or Patrick Swayze as a Chippendales dancer in that legendary 1990 "Saturday Night Live" sketch with Chris Farley. But it appears that may already exist.) Sean's got more than a few tattoos, but this indelible tribute to the late, great Patrick Swayze is his latest acquisition, and it's certainly our favorite of his ink. Surely there are other Patrick Swayze tattoos out there in the world. But surely this is the greatest.

Below are a few words from Sean himself about his Patrick Swayze tattoo.

Good afternoon, Buzzworthingtons... My name is Sean Gresens, and I am a senior designer here at MTV. Today, Tamar approached me to write up a little nonsense about my new ridiculously nonsensical tattoo, and here you are reading my valiant attempt. Thank you for joining us.

So anywho, recently on this weekly podcast I do with my friends, the Metal Injection Livecast, I tasked myself and some of my peers with coming up with the the most asininely silly tattoo we could think of, with the intent that I would then adorn my calf muscle with said obnoxiousness. However, as we quickly found ourselves too easily slipping into the NSFW realm, my faith in our creativity seriously started to falter. That is, until my buddy Sid dropped the majestic brainbomb you see pictured: a portrait of Patrick Swayze in drag from the movie To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar with some sort of faux inspirational verbiage accompanying it. Absolutely brilliant in its simplicity.

I then brought his idea into Adobe Illustrator and fleshed it out (pun intended), took the design into the shop next day and got down to business. But now looking at what we’ve done, I feel we may not have hit our mark with the truly ridiculous... It’s beginning to take on a whole new life as an homage to a master of stage and screen, taken away from us far too soon, a beacon of hope pointing to the ever optimistic future, reminding us to always follow our dreams, to go for the gold, to stay in school, to drink six to eight glasses of water every day, to never leave the seat up, always look both ways before crossing a street, never forget to floss, and most important, to always Dirty Dance like no one is watching.

Happy New Year! It's Mariah Carey's new video for that Dec. 31 into Jan. 1 anthem, "Auld Lang Syne." What? It's not Christmas yet? Who cares?! Despite the fact that she's pregnant with twins, Mariah Carey is still lapping you on the racetrack of celebrating holidays! Pardon her dust! At this pace, she's going to be singing about the Easter bunny on Jan. 10! Get on board or get out of the way!

Mariah's video keeps it simple, as one should with a song this beautiful. With some special effects that rival a "Toonces The Driving Cat" sketch from "Saturday Night Live," Mariah sings about all acquaintance being forgot, as some fireworks go off behind her, or rather, go off on the green screen behind her.

This version of the holiday classic is actually really cute due to Mariah's ad lib: "Does anyone really know the words? Might as well sing along." She's got a point! You might as well pipe up and have a go!

"Auld Lang Syne" is featured on Mariah Carey's Merry Christmas II You, which is out now.

Earlier this year, Vampire Weekend tried their hand at a cover of Rancid's ska-punk classic, "Ruby Soho." Now, we find the New York indie-pop band ending the year with a cover of a U.K. pop smash, with their take on Cheryl Cole's "Fight For This Love."

The original version, by the "X-Factor" judge, singer and British tabloid fixture, is a surging and uplifting dance-pop anthem that wouldn't sound out of place next to any of the singles from the last Kylie Minogue album.

Vampire Weekend's cover, recorded at BBC Radio 1, features a full horn section and a guitar line that sounds like it was lifted from The Strokes' "What Ever Happened." Singer/guitarist Ezra Koenig doesn't sound as convinced as Cole that this is a love affair worth fighting for, adding some ambiguity to the original's statement of intent.

When you get a few minutes to interview My Chemical Romance, you want to cover as much ground as possible. So that's what we did in this exclusive Buzzworthy interview.

Now since it's nearly Christmas in Harlem, Hollis and everywhere else, we thought we'd ask My Chemical Romance for some gift-giving tips. Guitarist Frank Iero has been reading "The Book Thief" and thinks it would make a good present. Bassist Mikey Way would give the deluxe reissue of Weezer's Pinkerton. We're partial, however, to guitarist Ray Toro's idea of giving someone "Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom," which is crazy underrated and features this guy.

The band members also talk about their new album, Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys, and the thinking behind the album's concept. They also touch on their own origins in the New Jersey punk and hard-core scene and coming up with bands like Thursday, Saves The Day, and Midtown. Finally, My Chemical Romance speculate on Mikey making an appearance on the critically acclaimed show, "Breaking Bad." Meth-cooking jokes (JUST a joke!) and much merry are made!

Watch Buzzworthy's holiday Q&A with My Chemical Romance below, and watch My Chemical Romance answer Buzzworthy fan questions.Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys is out now.

While you're on the couch binging on a healthy 23 tablespoons of French onion dip in your Chicago Bears Zubaz pants this holiday season, remember that the Kardashians are somewhere in a far away land (Los Angeles) taking their Christmas to the next level. They're next-leveling the skinny cargo pants off of Christmas. For this Telemundo novela of a picture, ladies and gentlemen, is the Kardashian family Christmas card. Or, the Kardashian family Khristmas Kard. Imagine what their turkey dinner looks like.

Instead of sitting in front of a Christmas tree or casually posing with Rudolph, the Kardashian family donned their Sunday award show finest, gathered around a regal staircase, and posed for a Christmas portrait of epic proportions. Seriously. This is some "Dynasty"-ish right here, guys.

Why is the Kardashians' Christmas card so over the top, you ask? Well, for one thing, it's the Kardashians, duh! And, "Christmas cards have always been a REALLY big deal in my family," "Khloe Kardashian wrote on her blog. Really? We couldn't tell by THE BABY IN A LIL' AL CAPONE PINSTRIPE SUIT.

But you have to hand it to the Kardashians for getting in the holiday spirit. 'Tis the season for glitz and glam, right? To most of us that might mean a sequined tank top or a mistletoe headband. To the Kardashians, it means opera gloves and airbrushed makeup. Joy to the world.

Save your breath, PETA. Before you get all tight around the animal rights collar, let us tell you a little about Ke$ha's luxurious coat. Upon first glance you might blanch at the amount of pretty feathers that decorate her outerwear. Well, leave it to Ke$ha to have a story behind the coat, one that is both gross and interesting.

This photo was snapped in London last night, as Ke$ha was enjoying a night out in Blighty after playing a show at the Shepherd's Bush Empire.

Turns out that the coat was made by Ke$ha's friend who owns a farm near the desert. Said friend makes a hobby out of collecting feathers off of roadkill. Feel free to throw up a little... You back? OK. So after these feathers are retrieved, they are made into coats for the "TiK ToK" singer. That's one way to recycle, I guess.

According to Ke$ha, she would happily donate her body...to fashion and accessories, claiming, "If I died and somebody wanted to wear my teeth around their neck, I would feel honored."

Once again, we are left silent by the deep, Zen-like wisdom of this new pop icon.
