GIFS are the gifts (gif-ts?) that never stop giving. No literally, they're animated photos that play on a loop for all of eternity. We're a big fan of GIFs here at Buzzworthy HQ (if you didn't notice), and we're also a big fan of Britney Spears (IF YOU DIDN'T NOTICE!!!!!!). When these two worlds collide, well... sometimes we need a paper bag to breathe into. Or breath on (Britney song reference, n00bs).

Anywho, we told you all about the wackadoo interviews Britney Spears was doing over in jolly ol' London to help promote the European leg of her "Femme Fatale" tour. And British reporters seem to follow a different... guideline when it comes to interviewing celebrities. Actually, there is no guideline. These guys just ask whatever the eff they want, and frankly, it's refreshing! We like it!

In one of the recent interviews a British reporter conducted with Britney, said reporter pulled out a noisemaker to help Britney celebrate her upcoming 30th birthday (Dec. 2, n00bs). And Britney, being the ever-adorable good sport, chose to play along. Which brings us to this, THE CUTEST BRITNEY SPEARS GIF OF ALL TIME:

OMG DEAD. You're welcome.

Yo, Madame Tussauds. I don't know what's in the water over there at wax figure HQ, but -- excuse my French -- WTF is this s***? Fergie was on hand for the unveiling of her wax figure at Madame Tussauds Las Vegas yesterday, and poor girl had to pose next to it! Fergie Fergs was a good sport, though, as she usually is.

Maybe wax Fergie's outfit is something that Fergie would wear at a Black Eyed Peas concert, but besides that, they kind of missed the mark. By "kind of," I mean "totally." Also, wow (!!!), the statue's chest looks very... chest-ful. Maybe this was the intern's first wax figure?

Anyway, since this large piece of wax looks nothing like Fergie, we thought we'd help you place who you're thinking it looks like with our list of three people Fergie's wax figure looks like:

1.) Carmen Electra -- Tell me you don't see it! Maybe the blind person wax figure professional who was assigned this job got these two ladies confused? One of them is a singer and the other one once married Dennis Rodman. Easy mistake.

See who else we think Fergie's wax figure looks like after the jump.

Just the other day we were thinking about how we haven't heard from Mandy Moore in like, a long time. But then yay, we found her! Mandy popped up in New York for the UN's Social Good Summit conference recently, and as usual, she was being adorable WHILE also being a good humanitarian.

Turns out the "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week" singer has been on the other side of the world (NDB) on the mission to help stop malaria in Africa. At the conference, Mandy sported a "BUZZKILL" T-shirt and a look of concern while discussing her time volunteering in Cameroon, a small African country where malaria is an epidemic among children. To help promote awareness, she's been delivering bug netting to protect families from the deadly mosquitoes that transmit the disease. She's even been installing the nets in the homes herself! That deserves a nickname: "Handy-Mandy." (We didn't get a degree for nothing!)

We love stars with hearts of gold, and Mandy totally fits the bill: She's pretty, talented, the nicest person EVER, and she looks good in orange. You're forever our girl, Mandy.

Last week, MTV Posted group Cobra Starship checked in from the road to discuss their appearance at a recent Buddy Holly tribute show. But we've found a ton of new videos that show the group touching on a wide array of topics, from suspect plane rides to the VMAs.

First off, the guys tell our pals at NextMovie.com which films they watched for inspiration while recording their new album, Night Shades. (Hint: Picture the most guy-friendly violent films you can imagine.) They also told us how their participation on the new Buddy Holly tribute album came to be, as well as relaying a common rock band story of broken-down tour buses and a scary ride on the same type of plane that killed Holly. Why the band was told that before the ride, we have no idea.

You've already seen the band perform "You Make Me Feel... " at last month's VMAs, but what did they think about the other performances? The band reveals their true feelings on Chris Brown and Lady Gaga/Jo Calderone/That monologist person. Finally, get on stage with the group and check out some rehearsal footage from a recent show. You're welcome.

This past Tuesday night, Every Woman, Every Child, an organization aimed at improving the health of women and children around the world, held its reception at the UN. Celebs such as 50 Cent, Christy Turlington Burns and Jennifer Connelly as well as global leaders including Desmond Tutu attended to speak about global aid.

Now, we know this initiative is important and everything, but we're going to have to take a minute out now to support a personal charitable cause, albeit a totally shallow one: "POINTING OUT HOW GOOD 50 CENT LOOKS!!!" Dude, he's looking soooooo good, right? Sporting a way svelter figure, 50 is the embodiment of a dapper dude. He worked that step-and-repeat like a boss and has that "this old thing?" confidence about wearing a billion-dollar suit. Oh, and we are ALL about an understated pocket handkerchief, Fiddy. Very fashion forward of you.

OK, now back to charity. 50 Cent took a break from beefing with Game and released a statement about his own coming-to-terms with giving back: “My first project, Get Rich or Die Trying, was completely about making money. When you grow up without finances, that's the big issue in front of you. You see that there's no freedom without finances. I wrote those things. And I don't regret writing them but I want you to see what happens after -- when people pass that point. You start to develop a higher sense of what you're after -- and that's happiness. And being able to be a big example and role model."

Also, proceeds from 50 Cent's Street King energy drink will help provide 1 billion meals to Africa.

Lookin' good, doin' good!

New Found Glory is about to release their seventh (SEVENTH!!!) studio album. Last month, we brought you "Radiosurgery," the band's first single off their forthcoming album of the same name. And just the other week (late pass!) New Found Glory released another song off of Radiosurgery. It's called "Dumped." We miiiight know where this one is headed.

"Dumped" is a cheeky, energetic, pop/punk record that's reminiscent of earlier NFG. The guitars are tight, the drums are pounding and the song's message speaks to exactly what you'd expect -- all the totally s***ty crap and hindsight that comes with a breakup. In guitarist Chad Gilbert's own words: "'Dumped' is one of the most straightforward songs on the album. It's kind of saying that you realize after everything went down that you're better off without the person, but you don't like it because you went through so much crap and now the relationship is over." Lyrically, the band nails it too as they so eloquently describe the unique brand of torture that accompanies a bad breakup: "You always knew that you could have me/Or just about anyone/And now I'm stuck here with a mouth full of regret."

Wait, doesn't anyone wanna sing about being happy for your ex that they've moved on to a good place? Can't we be thankful that we once loved and learned from one another?! OK, yeah, screw that.

+ Listen to New Found Glory's "Dumped."

While Sara Bareilles is known for her catchy and sometimes heart-wrenching songs (um, hello "Gravity") she's not necessarily known for her dance moves. But all that's about to change! In the new video for "Gonna Get Over You," Sara is rocking out HARD on the dance front and unsurprisingly, girlfriend can move.

Before we get into video plot, we should mention that in addition to this being Sara Bareilles' dancing debut, it also happens to be actor Jonah Hill's music video directorial debut. Sara and Jonah have been BFF's for a long time -- who knew?! “There’s something really special about being someone’s first," explained Sara in a recent Rolling Stone interview. "It's like he’s a video virgin. I feel like I’m in new territory as well."

Mainly, the video consists of a heavily eye-lined, leather jacket-wearing Bareilles as she grooves her way down the supermarket aisle. Later, she's joined by a group of identical leather jacket-wearing pals who dance with her as she grazes the produce section. Sara's supermarket is really special because sometimes colorful confetti explodes out from the shelves -- and at no extra cost!

While the kitschy, dance-oriented plot would have been enough, Hill also provides a shocking ending! In the final seconds, the video cuts to a normally dressed Sara singing off-key and dancing awkwardly while in the middle of the supermarket. Turns out, her amazing dance moves were simply all a dream. Tough break girl, but we know you're a freak on the dance floor!

This is some front page ish right here, people: Beyoncé, a woman who knows she is pregnant, is not only willingly wearing a floor-length white dress in public, but she's wearing it to a red (black) carpet event! Stop the presses!

While some pregnant women might have experienced European tailors make them custom-fitted full-body Spanx by hand for the nine months, Beyoncé's all, "I'M PREGNANT! OH, YES I AM!" and shows up to the launch of her fragrance Pulse in NYC yesterday in a voluminous white gown adorned with feathers. You guys know what white does to a person on camera, right? It widens everything out -- science or something (the same reason why black makes you look thin). But Beyoncé, Queen of Everything, looks amazing in white! Not a smidgen widened out! There's not even a hint of morning sickness anywhere in this photo!

Seriously, Tina Knowles should look into cryogenically freezing her DNA or something. Beyoncé and Solange came from the same person. How is that even possible?

+ Nick Jonas (literally) kicked off his South American tour last night in Sao Paolo, Brazil, and he sure looked happy to be there. Peep photos of the air he caught during his rock 'n' roll scissor kick. "Such an amazing start to the tour," he tweeted. (Just Jared Jr.)

+ Lady Gaga got real with Twitter followers about a fan's apparent suicide, which was reportedly a result of bullying. "Bullying must be become illegal. It is a hate crime," she tweeted and vowed to talk to President Obama about it. Tell it, sister! (MTV News)

+ We know Robert Pattinson's not making an album, and we now know one artist who'll appear on the upcoming Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part - 1. It's Bruno Mars, with a  song called "It Will Rain." (MTV News)

+ Britney Spears opened up about turning 30. "I hear the older you get, the wiser you get and the more you know what you want -- so hopefully it will be a good year," she said. Her birthday's on Dec. 2, during the South American leg of her tour. (Billboard)

+ How weird would it be for a fan to have your CD before you? Ask J. Cole. His debut CD, Cole World: The Sideline Story, isn't out yet, but a fan handed him the real deal last night. He was stoked all the same: "This s*** is incredible for me to see right now." (Rap-Up)

+ Nirvana's Nevermind turns 20 tomorrow, and did you know the genre-defining single "Smells Like Teen Spirit"'s video was edited by Kurt Cobain himself? Watch archived video of his interview and more. (MTV News)

If there's one thing that gets us even mildly excited for cold weather, (today's the official last day of summer, guys!) it's getting to rock our favorite fall accessories -- like animal hoodies! Jessie J didn't waste a single chill to unleash her furry cap while hitting up the streets of Paris. Looks like a trend everyone seems to be rocking in the states (we're looking at you, Nicki Minaj) translates perfectly in Europe. Girl is tres chic. (And that concludes my French vocabulary skills.)

The "Price Tag" singer matched her animal print accessory with an electric orange jacket, psychedelic tights and one of the most fashionable foot casts to date. There's something to be admired about a gal that can pull off almost every hue from the color wheel while simultaneously matching them all with cheetah print. Why don't they teach you that in art class?

The best part of Jessie J's furry friend, though, is the fact that the hoodie also has mittens! This solves the obnoxious problem of losing a billion gloves that so many of us experience every winter! And it definitely looks much less dorky more stylish than clipping them to your jacket with yarn.
