After much anticipation, Lady Gaga's exclusive MTV documentary, "Lady Gaga: Inside The Outside" finally aired last night. Over the course of the highly personal one-on-one interview, Gaga opens in a way we've rarely seen, talking about her childhood in New York City and her intense struggles to succeed in the music business. With all she's achieved in such a short time at such a young age, it's easy to forget she didn't hatch out of her space egg a fully formed diva, but Lady Gaga had to go to school and do her homework, just like everybody else.

One particularly poignant part of the documentary comes when Gaga discusses being bullied in high school. Although her teen life honestly sounds pretty good (nice parents, piano lessons, a musical household, living just a few blocks from Lincoln Center with a yearning to see what's below 60th Street), she experienced being ostracized when some mean boys from school decided it would be funny to pick her up and throw her in a trash can. "It took me to get to know my fans and to see similar struggles in them for me to access that wound in myself," she says, "and I think that in a way the fans have been a key to my heart, unlocking things in my self that I didn't wanna deal with that make me... a greater songwriter."

Gaga also discusses her intense connection with her family -- she reveals her family recipe for tomato sauce -- as well as her spiritual connection with her late Aunt Joanne and the effect of that connection on her relationship with her father.

In a moment in which we truly see Gaga unknowingly glimpse her future stardom, she talks about looking to Beyonce for inspiration after initially losing her record deal: "I remember watching Beyoncé and thinking 'oh, she's a star. I want that. I wanna be on MTV. And now I'm in music videos with Beyoncé."

Britney Spears tweeted a photo of herself and some of her new BFFs yesterday on the set of her new music video for "I Wanna Go," the third single off her album Femme Fatale. At least, I'm assuming they're BFFs, right? Something about Britney's sweet persona gives me the impression that she's the friendly sort, you know? Happy to pose for photos and always smiling that sunny smile. And how cute is that Avril-esque punky pink streak in her hair?

The video, directed by Chris Marrs Piliero, should apparently be one of Brit's more shocking (which is saying a lot considering "If You Seek Amy" was essentially a suburban orgy. According to Hollywood Life, the video story line goes like this: Britney speaks at a press conference, it turns out all the reporters are robots (METAPHOR!), she lives out several fantasies in a dream including making out with a fan and flashing a cop(!), before the viewing audience finds out she's daydreaming and that none of the attendees of the press conference are actually robots... or are they? Spooky! I guess we'll just have to see what happens!

The "I Wanna Go" video will not feature much dancing, which may upset a few fans. (There's at least one guy in particular who probably has a strong opinion on it.) But there WILL be whistling. That's right! "I Wanna Go" features a whistling section(!), and it should be awesome to see if and how they do that in the video. Maybe whistling is the new dancing? Only someone like Britney could make that happen.

JOE JONAS! WHY MUST YOU CONTINUE TO TEASE US SO!??

Joe Jonas' "See No More" debut solo single won't hit radio until June 3 (and iTunes on June 13), but Joe Jonas dropped a bombshell of a teaser video, in which you can hear a teensy tiny, Frankie Jonas-size few bars of the song. Come ON, Joe. In the parlance of boy bands past, quit playing games with our hearts, OK?

The video shows Joe in one of those serious quick-glimpses-of-a-celebrity's-crazy-life situations. Like one of those suspenseful, somewhat stressful montages you see on those ESPN shows about sports guys who worked hard, overcame adversity and trained for the big day. Sadly, we do not see Joe Jonas pumping iron or jumping rope or whatever. We are, however, treated to a lot of Joe Jonas modeling, mixing and making music, and spending long nights in the recording studio. So in a way, it kinda is like one of those sports training videos, minus the gross sweat and pointless cheerleaders.

I haven't personally heard all of "Say No More," but Nick Jonas has. (Lucky!) Joe's been working with producer Danja, Frankmusik and Chris Brown, so expect a far more adult, urban, electro experience, which is a marked departure from Jonas Brothers' croony, doe-eyed ballads and up-tempo pop rock. What I'm saying is that Joe Jonas is a sex symbol, and you're going to dance to it.

Joe Jonas' debut album is called Fastlife and will be released Sept. 6. But really, it needed to come out, like, yesterday.

Take a look at this picture. It's movie and music star Will Smith on a beach. Now, look closely. Where is he? He's on a beach. He's wearing a suit. He's wearing a full suit on a beach, and arguably a very expensive one at that. What kind of erratic behavior is this? Will seems to be taking a page right out of the WTH handbook with the whole suit-on-the-beach thing, amirite? Maybe this is what he meant by "Getting Jiggy With It"? It's all starting to make sense now... maybe "jiggy" actually meant insanity... yikes!

Well readers, as it turns out, Mr Smith hasn't completely lost his marbles. No, he's actually filming some scenes for the upcoming Men In Black 3 -- also starring Tommy Lee Jones and Josh Brolin -- on Captree Beach in West Islip, New York. The movie has been shooting the whole month here in New York and currently has a May 25, 2012, release date, which is exactly one year from today. The more you know!

While we're at it, how has Will Smith not aged? Dude still looks 25. How does he do that? He's like The Curious Case Of Being Badass! He releases hit movie after hit movie (hey, even The Legend Of Bagger Vance was pretty good!) and cool song after cool song, even putting his children Willow Smith and Jayden Smith through music and movie stardom, respectively. Clearly, the suit-on-the-beach thing is something we don't know about yet because it's next-level swaggin'. Maybe if he starts pairing the suit with a tin foil hat we'll start worrying, but right now? The suit-on-the-beach thing is the epitome of cool. Very GQ. Well done, Mister Smith.

Four years ago, R. Kelly and Usher were fighting over the same girl in, um, "Same Girl." Now, T-Pain and Chris Brown have teamed up for "Best Love Song," a similar sonic duel over the affections of one special groupie girl.

The central conceit finds the two singers both trying to sing their "Best Love Song" to the girl, but rather than singing on two separate tracks, they collaborate. Y'know. For some reason.

"And if I wanna take her home, it's gonna be better than what they do on the radio," T-Pain sings. A cutthroat opening. Brown retorts, "Turn on the lights, give me a mic/I'm about to sing and do it just as she likes." A well-constructed riposte.

Who wins this lyrical battle of two musical heavyweights? We're going with Pain, only because Brown sings "Cowabunga," and no one's said that in 20 years.

"Best Love Song" is only the latest in a string of hits for the duo. In 2007, the two collaborated on Brown's ubiquitous hit "Kiss Kiss" and again in 2008 on T-Pain's "Freeze." "Best Love Song" comes from T-Pain's oft-delayed fourth album rEVOLVEr. The singer has said he won't release the album until he has a million Twitter followers, so make sure your grandson grabs a copy when it hits stores in 2046. Just kidding. But T-PAIN! We ain't getting any younger here!

As you probably know by now, the Google Chrome ad that aired during Lady Gaga's epic "Saturday Night Live" episode was more touching than a commercial should ever have the right to be. Starring Mommy Monster herself, it showed all the ways she uses the internet to interact with her fans, and featured many fan-submitted videos. One particularly passionate video caught my eye, so I looked it up. It features a preternaturally talented 12-year-old dancer named Laura Manna.

Not much info is readily available on this talented youngster (which is good because she's just a child, and honestly, I feel sort of creepy stalking her online), but the YouTube video was apparently posted by her cousin, dancer and choreographer Camillo Lauricella. (Here's the two of them dancing to Christina Aguilera's "Not Myself Tonight.")

Laura dances her little heart out as she lip-synchs to "Edge Of Glory" with enough youthful zeal and abandon to break your heart straight down the middle. I hope we see more of her in Gaga-related video projects to come.

What the WHAT? We would like to cordially invite you to witness the PERFECTION of Beyoncé's dressing room rehearsal backstage at "American Idol" last night. OK? She's singing her new song, "1+1," from her new album, 4, along to what looks like HER LAPTOP, and the preperformance is blowing us away. Like, we now dwell amongst the trees like nomadic people of the Beyonc-tastic Tribe (we just made that up and are therefore members) who will follow Beyoncé anywhere and do anything she says because she can do NO WRONG. There's no microphone, no effects. Just talent, served straight up, not even with a twist.

Jay-Z shot the footage (so adorable we could melt onto our keyboard while typing this) and posted it to his new site Life + Times, allowing us to Check Up On It ourselves. You can tell that even Beyoncé's entourage -- clearly people used to hearing her sign -- are beside themselves. Amazing stuff. Run and tell that.

Now that a new "American Idol" winner has been crowned, why not take a look back at how the show's first winner, Kelly Clarkson, has been doing these past nine years? More than anyone, Kelly Clarkson, who's got a new single coming out in July (FINALLY!), has come to symbolize the show's very American message that any ordinary citizen can become wildly successful, assuming they're really, really talented and they work really, really hard (and maybe do a stint on reality TV).

To honor Kelly Clarkson's nine great years of success, we've put together a gallery of her finest moments. Check out some of our favorites Kelly photos below, and if that's not enough Kelly Clarkson for you, check out BUZZWORTHY'S BEST OF KELLY CLARKSON PHOTO GALLERY for lots more.

In keeping with her populist image, Kelly showed up to support her hometown's basketball team at the 2004 NBA All-Star game at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. You can take the girl out of Texas...

It's only fitting that a symbol of the American dream should meet America's leader, President Barack Obama, an amazing American success story in his own right. The above photo was taken in September 2006. Kelly looks incredibly stoked (we would be, too!), while 'Idol' judge Randy Jackson appears a bit shell-shocked (we would be, too!).

And who could forget the amazing voice that made her a star in the first place? Here's Kelly belting out a song at Sydney, Australia's Entertainment Centre in March 2008.
