Today's Tweet Toon -- hee-larious do-it-yourself cartoon strips we've been obsessively creating in Bitstrip -- comes to you via Paul Wall, who's apparently been on a jogging jag... though he can't seem to stop Tweeting while on the run. And he REFUSES to jog in anything but Jordans and jeans.

Now I'm no Jillian Michaels (God knows, if I were I wouldn't be sitting here blogging up what Paul Wall Tweeted), but running and Tweeting probably isn't the most efficient way to fight the fat. Still, best of luck to you, Paul Wall! That's The People's Champ, right there, ladies and gentlemen!

Now someone get Bob Harper on the horn, okay? And witness the fitness. (Don't steal that line, Fergie! I just made it up!)

+ In case you missed it, there was TOTAL DRAMS at last night's Much Music Video Awards in Canada. It was QUITE the spectacle: Lady Gaga had her poker face on, and she had a couple of flamethrowers for boobies.  You won't believe it. (Much Music)

+ Later on in the night, after doing an onstage bit with the Jonas Brothers and then being badgered throughout the night relentlessly by Fergie and Will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas about saying mean things on his blog, Perez Hilton allegedly got attacked by the Peas' manager (though we're not really sure why beating up Perez Hilton would make anyone feel better). (Associated Press)

+ Meanwhile, back in the States, Beyonce/Sasha Fierce was kicking off the North American leg of her tour to a packed house at NYC's Madison Square Garden. (Socialite Life)

+ Oh. And just one day after Father's Day, Chris Brown struck a plea deal by pleading guilty to beating the crap out Rihanna back in February. A little probation and some community service? Sure. Why not? (MTV News)

+ This mom hates her life right now: (as if the Universal Music Group needs any more money), a Minnesota mother of two was just ordered by a federal jury to pay $1.92 million to several record labels for illegally sharing 24 songs online. It's like it's 2001 ALL. OVER. AGAIN. (NY Times)

+ Madonna recently doled out some unsolicited career advice to Adam Lambert: "Keep your eyes on the prize." In Madonna's case, prizes are small children in Africa. (E! Online)

+ And as we all pretty much assumed, Amy Winehouse filed papers to permanently park her bony ass in St. Lucia. Do we care?? (NME)

+ Singer Kelis (who is seven months preggers) has filed papers in court to try and squeeze some more money out of her ex-husband Nas. Never mind that she has hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry she could sell. eBay it, gurl! For the children! (Bossip)

+ Brooke Hogan has been talking about her mom a lot lately -- and not in a good way! (E! Online)

+ Debunking all those rumors that she is pregnant, Fergie revealed that she put on 17 pounds for a film role with actress Penelope Cruz. (US Magazine)

+ In what seems like a rude-dude move, Katy Perry (real name Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson) has sued an Australian designer by the name of Katie Jane Perry. Who do you think has more of a case? (Agent Bedhead)

+ Oh look! There's media darling Lindsay Lohan Tweeting topless pictures of herself. Thanks, Linz! Seeing that just made gayer than I already am, if that were somehow even possible. (Bitten & Bound)

+ Don't go getting your hopes up, Perez Hilton. Adam Lambert is NOT into you! What's that sound? Oh! It's just Perez getting out his claws. (Parade)

Pussycat Dolls' latest video, "Hush Hush; Hush Hush," is noteworthy not just because the song's title contains a semi-colon, which you don't see every day, but because the song and video hold a lot of behind-the-scenes dramz. The song is from PCD's Doll Domination. Doll Domination 2.0, but honestly, they could've just called it Doll Drama 2.0. Because...

1.) You won't hear much of the other Dolls in "Hush Hush; Hush Hush." Nicole Scherzinger recorded lead and background vocals on the song. No wonder Melody Thornton had some "words" during PCD's concert in Phoenix this past April. That, and the fact that originally, "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" was originally tauted as "Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger." Ouch.

2.) In the beginning of the video, a super naked Nicole Scherzinger uses the PHONE in the bathtub, which is just SUCH a bad idea for a variety of reasons. Though not as bad as using a hair dryer in the bathtub, which you should REALLY never do.

3.) "Hush Hush; Hush Hush samples Gloria Gaynor's 1978 hit "I Will Survive," and certainly the video's disco scene is an homage to that era, while Nicole Scherzinger's hair, makeup, and lame' look are clearly an homage to Diana Ross.

4.) Yes, the DJ in the video is Perez Hilton. Modest, too, as he's wearing a t-shirt that says "'Hush Hush featuring Perez." Perez has also appeared in Simple Plan's "When I'm Gone" video, Eric Hutchinson's "Rock And Roll" video, and The White Tie Affair's "Candle (Sick And Tired)." There's also a quick cameo by Carmen Electra. Also, check out that cameo by HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition -- it's a teensy little fashion laptop that's almost as pretty as Nicole. Hearts it!

5.) "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" was directed by Rich Lee, who also directed All-American Rejects' "The Wind Blows" video and Fergie's "Clumsy."

+ Watch "Hush Hush; Hush Hush," and, after the jump, watch Diana Ross' version of "I Will Survive."

+ Brooke Hogan has a new video out for her song called "Falling," off her forthcoming album. The song doesn't sound bad, but does anyone care? (PopCrunch)

+ Kanye West of course pleaded "not guilty" to misdemeanor charges stemming from last September's incident at LAX in which a photog's camera and equipment were thrown to the ground and smashed into bits. "Not. Guilty." (E! Online)

+ We meant to tell you about this yesterday, but the Black Eyed Peas new song "Imma Be" from their forthcoming album is reeeeeally hot. It's not their next single, but it should be. (Rap-Up)

+ And evidently Fergie is a hater -- a GERM hater, to be exact -- pouring hand sanitizer on just about anything (Josh Duhamel, we feel your pain). (Star Magazine)

+ Rapper T.I.'s jail sentence was falsely reported to have been reduced to just over two months -- which would have been good news for the guy who at least tried to do a little good before going to jail. The U.S. Attorney General's office clarified Tuesday afternoon that he will indeed serve all of his one year and one day sentence. (MTV News)

+ Hahah... looks like Lady GaGa's leotard leanings landed her in trouble with Russian authorities, who mistook her for a hooker. (TMZ)

+ Michael Jackson just selected the dancers that will be performing with him during his run at London's O2 arena. Recognize "Jersey" from MTV's Dancelife (spoiler alert: it doesn't look like she made the cut)? We're not gonna lie -- how in the HELL is MJ going to even move his body?? (Bossip)

+ Fergie recently revealed that she has dipped her toes in the Lesbian Sea. How progressive of her. (The Blemish)

+ Britney could be making a surprise appearance on the season finale of American Idol this week. Wonder if she'll perform her next single "Radar?" (Extra)

+ Miley Cyrus took to the blogosphere to give people calling her "fat" a piece of her mind. (PopCrunch)

+ Latin superstar Paulina Rubio dishes about her insanely successful music career that has spanned more than 20 years. (Blogamole)

+ Katy Perry and her beautiful breasts cannot do ANY. WRONG. EVER. (Hollywoodtuna)

+Something tells us that if Fergie isn't willing to slow to down to give Josh Duhamel a babezorz, there are a MILLYUN guhls who would KILL for that job. Tick tock, Fergs. You better step it up! (Hollywood Rag)

+ Check out this new song by Cobra Starship featuring Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester AND co-written by American Idol's Kara DioGuardi. We're not mad at it -- it's kind of cute, and to be honest, we sanction just about anything that's comes out of the mouth of Cobra lead singer Gabe Saporta. <LICKITY LICK> (RyanSeacrest.com)

+ Yesterday, we told you about the mini version of Beth Ditto. Now, a new single off The Gossip's forthcoming album Music For Men has just dropped, called "Heavy Cross." B Ditts, we heart ye. (Tripwire)

+ Never mind that Britney released "Blackout" two years ago, and that the song "Radar" was featured not only on that album but also on her most recent album "Circus" -- the song will now be her next single. Wonder if she's going to make a video for it? (Dean Kelly)

+ Uh oh. Amy Winehouse is scheduled to perform in St. Lucia today. Do you think our favorite thirsty turtle will make it all the way through without fainting? (People)

+ Nudie photos are all the rage these days.  First there were Cassie's nibbly bits on parade. Now, is that really Rihanna? Her bum looks all sorts of hot, but that don't mean you should go snappin' pics of it! (The Blemish)

+ International Euro-dance super-sprite Kylie Minogue just announced that she will embark on her first-ever North American tour later this year. We can't wait to go to the NYC show and then report back on what costume ideas Beyonce will gank for her tour in 2015. (Popnography)

+ It's a real effin' shame that we don't have a unitard fetish or we'd be all over Katy Perry's new "Fashion Against AIDS" campaign for H&M. (PopCrunch)

+ Lady GaGa compares The Beatles to the Jonas Brothers. Makes sense! (NME)

+ Christina Aguilera will make her feature film debut as a burlesque dancer in the forthcoming movie titled -- yup, you guessed it -- Burlesque. (Star Magazine)

+ The jury is still out on Michael Jackson's "comeback" with doctors now saying he's too frail to perform in his current state. (Monsters and Critics)

+ Black Eyed Peas performed their new single "Boom Boom Pow" for the first time on Ellen today. We're not mad at Fergie's hair either. (Neon Limelight)

+ Former Danity Kane member D. Woods provides some terribly blunt revelations about Making The Band and just exactly how real "reality" television is. We applaud her candor. We do not, however, support her new haircut. (Singersroom)

+ Now that Pete Doherty is a Sober Sally, the absolute LAST thing he needs is to be infected with the Swine Flu. NOW GO OUT AND BUY SOME HOG! THE INDUSTRY'S A SUFF'RIN! (Holy Moly)

+ You need to see the trailer for Eminem's new video "3 A.M." It looks like Silent Hill meets a Rob Zombie movie. Pretty creepy (and of course, Em is shirtless). (Rap-Up)

+ As if you needed another reason to head to Austin, TX this year, Pearl Jam and Beastie Boys (along with Dave Matthews Band - meh) are headlining the Austin City Limits Music Festival in October (tix are only $185 for three days.. pretty good for a recesh budgie). Other notables include Lily Allen and John Legend.

+ And here you have it, "the face of digital energy," the official album cover for Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." It's supposed to be a blend of all four band members' faces, but I think it just looks like Fergie after a hard night of drinking, which could explain where her wig went. (Rap-Up)

+ If you're in the market for a creepy Patrick Swayze wax figure (that looks nothing like him but claims to "sport his famous flowing 1980's hairstyle" from Road House), then you have come to the right place! (Live Auctioneers)
