Now that you're hopefully completely recovered from your post-holiday hangover, time to prepare for another kind of hangover: the start of the new year! Tune in to MTV TONIGHT to ring in 2012 right -- loudly, and with tons of glitter and celebrities -- during MTV's "NYE In NYC 2012," featuring performances by Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Jason Derulo, Mac Miller and J. Cole!

Demi Lovato and "Teen Wolf's" Tyler Posey will be co-hosting as the famous ball drops and we count down to 2012. Given that the party's going down at MTV headquarters in Times Square (and the fact that the world might end -- eek!), there are sure to be extra surprises. (That's corporate speak for "There are extra surprises that we can't explicitly reveal at this time.")

+ Tune in to the party of the year tonight on MTV at 11 p.m. ET! And just in case the world is really ending in 2012, who cares! Let's just keep dancing "Till The World Ends."

OMG HI! How was your Christmas? Really? That's so excellent! I'm sure that mock turtleneck will look... just as bad on you as it does in the box! You should've asked for a print of Weird Al Yankovic crossed with a dinosaur. Oh well...

Oh, you're bored? You successfully watched EVERYTHING IN YOUR WHOLE, ENTIRE NETFLIX QUEUE? Damn. Well, thanks for stopping by, even though you're officially the ONE person online today. Most everyone else is out returning stuff. And you really should return that turtleneck, bro. Seriously.

It's some of our favorite Buzzworthy and MTV moments of the year, and some of the greatest hits of 2011 from our friends around the internet. Enjoy! (Also, please shower.)

Not only is today Boxing Day in Canada (can someone explain that to me once and for all?!), but it's also JARED LETO'S 40TH BIRTHDAY! YES, friends. I wrote "40TH." ON PURPOSE. We don't know how it's possible, either, but 30 Seconds To Mars' forever young frontman is turning 40 today, and he doesn't look a day over 29. And we don't even mean that the way we mean it when we say that to people in real life trying to make them feel better. He SERIOUSLY doesn't look at a day over 29.

In honor to commemorate Jared's 40th (still can't believe I'm typing that), here are three GIFs of Jared Leto displaying how we feel about the fact that he's actually 40. SHOCK AND AWE, guys. SHOCK. AND. AWE.

Happy Birthday, Jared! (Also, can you please email us your skin care regimen? Thank you.)

Jared Leto is 40: 'WHAAAAAAAAAAAT.'

Jared Leto is 40: 'HOLY S***, WHAT!'

Jared Leto is 40: 'What does this mean for the rest of us?'

Guy-EEEEEEES! It's almost Christmas! Hopefully your stockings are hung by the chimney with care (or non-care, not our problem), and Santa has received all of your wishes. (I mean, Christmas is seriously happening in just a few hours. You're S.O.L. if you haven't figured your ish out by now, TBH.)

Since we can't actually get you Beyoncé or Taylor Swift or Nicki Minaj in the flesh, here's a GIF of some of our favorite Buzzworthy peeps popping out of stockings! Thanks so much for being our internet friends throughout the year, and we wish you the happiest of holidays! And listen, if we could get you Bieber in a stocking we totally would. Actually, if we could get you Bieber in a stocking, we would be selling it hand-over-fist on eBay. Merry Christmas!

Right now it's no doubt that you're either knee-deep in Christmas tunes or burying your face in a gallon of adult eggnog -- or you're burying your face in a gallon of adult eggnog because of said Christmas tunes. But we're not total Scrooges up in here! Below is a list of some of Buzzworthy's favorite Christmas classics along with newer, Noel-time tunes. We also threw a few carols in there that make us feel like this cat -- being forced to pose for a photo wearing an uncomfortable reindeer headband to the point where you feel like it's now your life forever and ever. Enjoy! Oh, and Happy Holidays!

Before You Exit, "O' Silent Night": Orlando pop-punk foursome Before You Exit tug at our heartstrings with their version of "O' Silent Night," with exactly the kind of harmonics and haircuts we need to warm the cuckolds of our hearts this holiday season. Wait, what are cuckolds anyway? + Listen to Before You Exit, "O' Silent Night."

Forever The Sickest Kids, "Mistletoe Is For Quitters": A new edition to the pop-punk Christmas song canon, if you will. Forever The Sickest Kids' new single, "Mistletoe Is For Quitters," has little to do with rehab and a lot to do with crying on Christmas. + Listen to Forever The Sickest Kids, "Mistletoe Is For Quitters."

Britney Spears, "My Only Wish": The absolute holy grail of 1990s pop Christmas songs. + Listen to Britney Spears, "My Only Wish."

Run-D.M.C., "Christmas In Hollis": These pioneers of early hip-hop took a little time out in 1987 to let us in on what Christmas is like in Queens. Spoiler alert: average amount of holiday cheer, way more gold chains. + Listen to Run-D.M.C., "Christmas In Hollis."

Lady Gaga, "Christmas Tree": You have to hand it to Lady Gaga -- she released this song and STILL became one of the richest women on the planet. It's no "Bad Romance," but it's still worth listening to due to the fact that she had the cojones to compare her... muffin... to a... delicious Christmas tree? + Listen to Lady Gaga, "Christmas Tree."

If there's anyone who can help Katy Perry break Michael Jackson's record for most No. 1 singles from one album, it's probably B.o.B. In an attempt to land her sixth No. 1 single from her 2010 album Teenage Dream, Katy Perry has enlisted the help of everyone's favorite rapper, B.o.B., to add a blazing hot verse to her already massive "The One That Got Away."

Over a grimier beat, the remix starts up with B.o.B.'s verse as he raps about a love lost: "And you knew I had to say it, but them day’s gone/Now I moved on and you switched phones/Hopefully reincarnation will bring us back to the place we belong." (Soooooo into rappers who get deep.) Katy's original vocals carry us through the rest of the song until B.o.B. is back rhyming about his dearly departed girl: "Maybe next lifetime we can make up."

Side note: If you've been wondering how the currently wrinkle-free and fresh-faced Katy Perry transformed into the wrinkle-ridden, 80-year-old "Grandma Perry" for her "The One That Got Away" video, then you should definitely investigate the informative "The Making Of Katy Perry's 'The One That Got Away.'" I mean, do you see what's happening in and around Katy's neck region? Then again, it's probably that precise kind of steadfast dedication to making epic ish that earned Perry the coveted title of MTV's Artist of the Year. Take note, everyone on the planet!

I'm looking forward to a lot of things about 2012: seeing whether or not the world ends, turning 21 for the eighth time in a row, and now, possible additional "Trapped In The Closet" installments from hip-hopera genius R. Kelly! For those who might not know (FOR SHAME!), "Trapped In The Closet" is a 22-chapter song about a very involved love triangle. Each chapter is played out word for word by R. Kelly himself in the classic DVD "R. Kelly: Trapped In The Closet Chapters 1-22."

TMZ recently caught up with the "Shut Up" singer, and R. not only let us in on the fact that more "Trapped" episodes are waiting to be put to video, but he also told us about the inspiration behind the first 22 chapters: "Aside from me being silly and not having a job and nothing else to do sitting around the studio, I've always wanted to be a movie director.... and ['Trapped In The Closet'] is pretty much my movie directing seeping out through my music." How this man has not been hired to direct every movie in Hollywood by now is beyond me.

Kelly continued to reveal that additional chapters of "Trapped" are just waiting (in a closet somewhere) to be acted out and recorded: "By the way, I've got 32 more chapters that I'm trying to put out now. It costs a lot of money to do it, you know, so we're actually looking for investors."

ATTENTION INVESTORS: Help this man out! Think about all the good the first 22 chapters of "Trapped In The Closet" has done for the world (read: endless LOLz, hilarious cultural references, friendship litmus tests, etc.). Imagine what another THIRTY-TWO chapters of this masterpiece can do for us all! DONATE NOW!

There are two kinds of people in this world: the ones who love riffs, and the ones who think they're extraneous and diva-like. Personally, I say the more riffs the merrier, which is why I'm basically obsessed with JoJo's melisma-ridden take on the holiday classic "The Christmas Song." (You guys might not know the "The Christmas Song" by name, but it's that song about roasting chestnuts on the open fire and stuff/Justin Bieber and Usher covered it, too).

Originally performed by Nat King Cole, as the piano melody lilts in, the "Disaster" singer confidently infuses the American standard with tinges of pop and R&B: "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire/Jack Frost nipping at your nose/Yuletide carols being sung by a choir/And folks dressed up like Eskimos." Sure, JoJo may do a run on every other word, but she nails every note and still manages to preserve the song's original integrity.

JoJo explained the motive behind her Christmas tune when the song premiered exclusively on That Grape Juice: "I have a festive little treat for you premiering right here," said JoJo. "I wanted to give this to you guys because I'm so thankful for your support and just a little holiday treat that I cooked up." No need to thank us, gurl! You deserve it. In fact, let us thank you, JoJo, for your crazy-dope set of pipes. #JoJoForChristmas

There are so many things I'm thankful for this holiday season, and one of them is the Photobooth program on all Mac computers. And it looks like I'm not the only one. After arriving to Japan in all of her hair bow glory yesterday, Lady Gaga tweeted this photo last night, saying, "Just arrived in Tokyo! So happy to see my Kawaii Monsters! #SleepyGaga bedtime. I'm a professional napper today." But unlike when you and I might post a (topless?) photo of ourselves to our Twitter accounts, Gaga's pic gets almost 100,000 views.

Isn't it funny to think about Lady Gaga, arguably the biggest pop star in the world, sitting alone in her hotel room in Tokyo (with a very low tube top on?), practicing different poses in her webcam before tweeting them out to the world? Stars really are just like us, guys! The only thing that separates us from them is a little purple lipstick, a giant bow of hair, and millions and millions of dollars.
