I don't know if MTV Featured Artist of the Week Justin Bieber has ever seen the Eddie Murphy classic 48 Hours, but he might wanna Netflix that jawn real quick.

This video is pretty much a thank you note. As a form of gratitude for collaborating with him, Diddy shows Bieber and his buddy the time of their lives in an undisclosed location.

Diddy totally comes off like the awesome uncle who spoils you in this funny video, telling Justin Bieber he's going to lace him with a Lambo for his 16th birthday and dangles the promise of a mansion for his 18th birthday.

Funny thing is, Diddy refers to the time he's spending with Bieber as some kind of take on 48 Hours. Now, for those who don't know, 48 Hours basically involves Nick Nolte dragging a handcuffed Murphy through one bar fight after another, ending with a really long shootout.

That is not a good look for the still-teething Bieber! He's hitting the prime of his life, Diddy! No bar fights!

It's been a long, strange trip for Juicy J and DJ Paul. Better known as Three 6 Mafia, the dynamic duo started in Memphis, went out west for some adventures in Hollywood, and now find themselves in a dank and damp basement for their new, subterranean-set video, "Shake My." As basements go, this is not such a bad look. It is after all populated almost entirely by silent, scantily clad women. Not particularly scantily clad or silent is Kaleena, part of Diddy's Dirty Money group, who handles the hook for this club banger. She's took the last train to Paris and found herself...in a basement with Three 6 Mafia. Undeterred, she is intent on shaking her you know what. That's the spirit, girl.

We've taken second helpings of pasta, done our push-ups and fueled up on the Bull, and in just a few minutes all the prep work will pay off. At 9pm sharp, Buzzworthy is taking it to the main event, eavesdropping on all the superstar convos and canoodling (Lady Gaga and Kermit the Frog seem to be getting on well), snapping pics of all the backstage madness and even chattin' it up with a few of The Biggest Names In Showbiz. You know, that sorta thing.

Your tireless blogging crew is Tamar Anitai, Shaheem Reid, James Montgomery and Kyle Anderson. So pleased to serve ya', stay right here for live updates throughout this soon-to-be legendary night!

Need a quick warm-up? Check out our Newsroom's pre-show live blog!

11:58pm -- As an ambulance races by with its lights on, the cop conducting traffic says, "Taylor Swift just beat up Kanye, and here's his ambulance." Kanye West might just be the most hated man in America right now.

11:50pm - On the way to the press room, I run into the young lady of the evening, Taylor Swift. I tell her, "Congratulations!" and she beams and yells back, "Thanks!"

Meanwhile, Beyonce zooms by while Tito Jackson cheers her on.

11:26pm - Jay-Z isn't rapping. He's firing words from his mouth like it's a machine gun. Radio City's never seemed this big.

11:22pm - Time for Jay-Z to take the stage! When Hov's back in town, everything shut down!

11:21pm - Everyone backstage is crowded around the monitor and smiling as Taylor Swift graciously re-accepts her award.

Oh yeah, the angel wings Gaga wore in her paparazzi performance are hanging on a hook nearby.

11:09pm - Pink's acrobatic performance partner just walked backstage, screaming and pumping his fists. Andy Samberg and Jimmy Fallon give him a high-five.

10:57pm - After Kid Cudi performs "Day N Nite," Wale says, "Rest in peace, DJ Am." Fingers form peace signs all around.

10:56pm - Serena Williams comes in really late. She chats on her cell phone while being escorted to her seat.

10:55pm - Kids are laughing at the All-American Rejects and asking why the lead singer is wearing glitter.

10:52pm - Everyone's wishing Pink good luck backstage before her performance. Plus, Eminem wins Best Behaved Celeb -- he's sitting quietly in his seat! (Unlike SOME Hennessy-swillin' rappers we know.)

10:48pm - Aside from Kanye's disturbance of the peace, the big story here tonight is Lady Gaga ... And how strange she's been acting. In addition to wearing a half-Papal/half Ms. Haversham crocheted get-up, Gaga's not really talking -- to anyone -- and now she's walking with an exaggerated limp.

10:34pm - Just talked to a security guard at the stage door where Kanye went to hang out after crashing the stage. The guard told me that Kanye has officially left the building. Meanwhile, dude just got booed HARD when they announced his nomination for Best Hip-Hop Video. ZING!

10:27pm - Backstage: Robert Pattinson is skinny in real life -- vampires really don't eat food, I guess. And Kristen looks like a tiny ice skater.

10:23pm -- After the New Moon trailer airs, R.Patz and crew are whisked backstage, photogs trailing a few steps behind. When Pattinson finally dodges them, he gets a few secs to chug a beer and watch Beyonce's performance, bobbing his head to the beat.

10:15pm - Just saw Beyonce's dancers dressed in silver backstage. Get ready to come to Beysus, y'all!

10:13pm - Kristin Cavallari's posing for the paps like a pro -- and she's being super sweet to all of her handlers. Where's the 'bitch' we all know and love? Also, Gaga just walked by in her feather headdress. She's got an assistant to hold the train of her dress!

10:11pm - Cobra Starship are outraged they didn't win Best Pop Video ... They tore up their tickets in disgust the whole time Britney's acceptance video played. "We woulda at least showed up!" frontman Gabe Saporta shouted. He then pulled a huge-ass flask out of his breast pocket and took a pull.

10:10pm - Billie Joe is helping people crash the stage. Looks like a mob scene. In fact, since the Green Day frontman is pretty short, he's completely eclipsed by the crowd around him.

10:02pm - Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are 12 feet away. I cannot confirm or deny that they will go home together.

10pm - Now Russell Brand's using his hosting skills to hit on Megan Fox.

9:59pm - Chace Crawford and Ne-yo just headed backstage. (Wait up, guys!)

9:57pm - Stage left, I'm watching Nelly Furtado and Kristin Cavallari prep for their upcoming intro.

9:56pm - Perez Hilton and Hayley Williams are both trying to start a #TeamTaylor trend on Twitter.

9:54pm - There will be blood. On Gaga ... and on the audience.

9:47pm - Sean from 3OH!3 jokingly just said to me, "We're up for Best New Artist, but after [Kanye], I'm a little scared to WIN!"

9:44pm - What does Jennifer Lopez do during a commercial break? Same thing we all do: texts her friends.

9:41pm - Taylor's proving how a true lady rolls -- after Kanye's me-me-me moment, she's singing her heart out and havin' a grand ole time. (Hey Kanye, look who's playing on top of a cab in the middle of NYC!)

9:38pm - Fall Out Boy give Green Day a standing-o after their win.

9:31pm - Diddy doesn't have time for a fan photo -- he's a busy mogul with a Twitter habit!

9:30pm - People are going nuts in here. They booed like crazy when Kanye leaped onstage and stole Taylor's thunder. He responded by giving them all the finger on the way back to his seat. During the commercial break, Pink walked by him shaking her head in disgust. Even the show producers gave him a talking to. Not surprisingly, he didn't seem at all bothered by everyone's reactions, grabbing his date Amber Rose and planting a kiss on her lips.

9:25pm - Kanye West ruins Taylor Swift's big moment. Further proof that he's on the Hennessy. (Aside from the pic below.)

9:22pm - Katy Perry just strutted by me. She's wearing a white, studded bustier paired with skintight pants. Hot, not cold AT ALL.

9:20pm - Russell's making good on those Jonas jokes from '08 and turning the hose on Lady Gaga. Shocker! He wants to bone her.

9:15pm - Katy Perry's bowing down to Russell Brand as a team of live drummers bangs out "We Will Rock You." Joe Freakin' Perry's on guitar! Get ready for some lewd LOLs ... Russell Brand's here!

9:08pm - "Thriller" rises again!!! MTV loves you, Michael! (And so does EVERYONE in the audience.)

9:05pm - When Madonna wants to tell a story, you let her tell her story. Especially when it's about the life of Michael Jackson. You could hear a pin drop in here.

9:02pm - Have the VMAs ever started off this serious? Still, Madonna's really nailing it, calling Michael Jackson "a hero."

8:59pm - Nelly Furtado just ran to her seat to catch the Michael Jackson opening tribute. So excited to see it!

8:55pm - Beyonce's making quite a splash on the carpet in a sexy, red ruffle dress and her hair done curly.

8:51pm - Afraid the girl behind me is gonna need EMT assistance: Chace Crawford is standing right in front of her.

8:47pm - Radio City's roaring after Wale announces, "We gonna burn this mother f**ker down."

8:46pm - The house band is getting started.

Good news for Avril fans, fans of celebrity perfumes, the pink-and-black color combo, and fans of perfumes that share the same name as a Radiohead song. Avril Lavigne's brand-new perfume, "Black Star," just hit Kohl's stores nationwide, and I had the chance to get a few deep-down whiffs of eau d'Avril just this morning. Here's what Avril's "Black Star" smells like:

+ Hibiscus
+ Dark chocolate (nom!!)
+ "Electric Youth" -- the Debbie Gibson fragrance that most of 1990 smelled like and that also smelled like poison.

Avril's "Black Star" has some sensual plum notes, and heavy opening notes of citrus. Honestly, when I first smelled it, I immediately though of "Electric Youth." Which isn't a good thing. BUT, after the drydown, "Black Star" grew on me, and my colleague at the MTV Remote Control Blog RAVED that it smelled like the fresh and fruity teas and towels you get at a spa. (HM! I WOULDN'T KNOW, Remote Control!) Meanwhile Buzzworthy's Travis was an insta-fan, declared it better than Britney's fragrances and exclaimed "If i was straight, i would want you to wear that."

Anyway, Avril's "Black Star" fragrance is definitely not the best damn thing I've ever sprayed in the vicinity of my nose, but it's certainly not one of those cloying, old-lady perfumes. And it's 100% better than Diddy's "I Am King." If you're into light, juicy, "pink" perfumes, by all means, give it a shot. "Black Star" is $29 for the 30ml and $39 for the 50ml.

AND, just in case you don't follow Avril but were wondering WTF happened to her, she's in the studio working on a new album, which should be out November 17. (So step OFF, haters!) PS! Watch my FAVORITE Avril video after the jump!

When I first watched Mistah F.A.B.'s "Hit Me On Twitter" video, I was like, dude, namechecking technology and cars is a risky move right -- by the time your album comes out, it sounds staler than a month-old loaf of bread. The song's been out since the spring, but does Oprah even care about Twitter anymore? Does Gayle? Does Twitter follow the Mom Rule -- once your mom asks you about it, it's done? BUT, then I did my effing HOMEWORK (zzz), and it turns out that actually NO, Twitter does not follow the Mom Rule. And while teens DO Tweet, they don't Tweet AS MUCH as moms. So, TOUCHÉ TO WHAT I JUST SAID!

And while my gut instinct was that Mistah F.A.B. took a real risk with "Hit Me On Twitter," (after all, "Hit Me On Friendster" just seem as sticky, does it?), it turns out that F.A.B.'s kinda onto something: Twitter grew by almost 19% in June 2009, and Twitter shows NO sign of slowing down.

The only cringeworthy thing about Mistah F.A.B.'s "Hit Me On Twitter" is his Tweepul role-call at the end of the song, in which he shouts out @MCHammer, Ashton Kutcher, and the inventors of Twitter.

Best parts -- shouts out to BlackPlanet.com and the Diddy/ "lock in" reference. Oh yeah, and of course, follow Mistah F.A.B. @mistahfab and follow Buzzworthy at @MTVBuzzworthy

PS: Is Twitter the new hyphy?

And the question is WHY????? Why would you mess with perfection? With something so perfect? I FULL-ON disagree with Blender magazine's (RIP!) assertion that Eddie Murphy's 1985 cult classic, "Party All The Time" is one of the worst songs of all time.

Party on, Eddie. Party on.

"Party All The Time" is one of the BEST songs (of 1985) because it featured a blonde Rick James and his love of the leather tuxedo, celebrated Eddie Murphy's love of handclap synth effect, and the song was recorded in TOTAL earnest. There was nothing ironic about "Party All The Time"! Unfortunately. Which is what makes it so great.

So Aubrey O'Day, why'd you have to go eff with it? Shannon Bex has the right idea -- go country! Or just go topless (again). But DO NOT go where Eddie's gone before, my friend.

Watch Eddie Murphy's "Party All The Time" video (woah, what up with that sesssual tension between Rick and Eddie? Just sayin'), and listen to Aubrey O'Day's version. I'm beside myself right now. Who do I talk to about this? Diddy?

Thank you, Alexa Chung. At least YOU had a sense of humor about bitchassness! Unlike SOME people! Like Diddy. Who's apparently too cool to plunge a toilet. The NERVE. You DO want people to watch your show, don't you? (SPEAKING OF -- that show is CALLED Making His Band, and it starts tonight at 10pm.) Dude, Didatron DID NOT bring his "let's-go-people/lock-in" attitude today. But Alexa locked right in on her perfect style as always. Here's what Alexa Chung wore today on It's On With Alexa Chung. Besides a No Bitchassness shirt.

Monday, July 27
+ Shirt: Steven Alan
+ Shorts: Levi's
+ Espadrilles: LK Bennett

I've gone on and on about Steven Alan's marvelous buttondown shirts for a boy and a girl. Check out this purple Steven Alan buttondown from the pre-Fall collection. It's from the men's section, but ladies, come on. Wearing a men's shirt doesn't make you any less of a lady. It's $168 from Stevenalan.com.

Or get four Company 81 buttondowns (Brendon Urie's been seen in the label) for the price of one Steven Alan shirt.  $42 at Company81.com.

Finally, here's where to get some cute black lace-up espadrilles.

+ Instead of just owning up to the fact that her goose is cooked (not in Tamar's opinion, mind you) Mariah Carey did a little Twitter damage control following her performance at the Michael Jackson memorial service yesterday at L.A.'s Staples Center, saying she was just too overcome with emotion to give a perfect performance. However, longtime collaborator Trey Lorenz was pitch-perfect and sounded pretty much exactly the same as he did on Mariah's original MTV Unplugged version of "I'll Be There". (MTV News)

+ Season-ticket holder to Crazytown Lil Mama likened Michael Jackson's passing to the death of THE Jesus Christ. (Rap-Up)

+ Long-forgotten rapper Mase has been inspired by who else to make a comeback? None other than Michael Jackson/Jesus Christ. UGH. Jesus Christ! (Perez Hilton)

+ Sam Lutfi, Britney Spears' former best buddie/pal/stalker/drug crusher-upper/phonewire cutter is like the STD bronchitis you just can't kick. He's now filed papers in court saying that BritBrit has made him fear for his life. He's even naming some character witnesses, including Brit's former paparazzi squeeze Adnan Ghalib. Vat a mess... (TMZ)

+ In other douchebag news, Chris "Plea Bargain" Brown was not only seen kickin' it to Kanye's ex, Amber Rose at Diddy's annual White Party, but he also wore a beautiful, custom-crafted $300,000 diamond pendant that said "OOPS." Has this kid's parole started yet?? (Cele|bitchy)

+ Green Day is cashing in on their piece of music game "Rock Band," having just added three songs to the game's catalog. (MTV News)

+ And all this time I thought Raven Simone was just big-boned! SHE WAS PREGNANT?! At least for nine months of the last seven years. (Global Grind)

+ If you're like me, you probably think at least TWO of the guys in up-and-coming boy band V Factory are hotter than hell. And if you're like me, you probably had no idea that the eldest member of the band, Nathaniel Flatt, is hotter than hell AND openly gay (that explains it, right?)! Check out this revealing interview with the hotness that is Nathaniel Flatt. (Towleroad)

+ The day would just not be complete without a juicy morsel about Lady Gaga. Today, we bring you her <TOPLESS> photo shoot for V Magazine. (Gabby Babble)

+ Chris Brown was evidently all over Kanye West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose at the party Diddy threw for the 4th Of July this weekend... sloppy seconds much? (The Superficial)

+  Quincy Jones gave a shockingly honest interview about Michael Jackson's transformation from a handsome black man to a white guy with an addiction to plastic surgery. (GQ's STYLE)

+ Add Mariah Carey's name to the star-studded list of people who will be on hand at Jackson's memorial service to be held at the Staples Center in L.A. (P.S. MTV will broadcast the memorial LIVE on air and online beginning at 12pm ET tomorrow). (MTV News)

+ Madonna will not be attending the memorial service, but the Queen of Pop paid tribute to her counterpart during a weekend performance at London's O2 Arena, where Jackson was scheduled to perform. (MTV News)

+ Ricky Martin (remember him) kind of came out. (Popnography)

+ Open mouth, insert foot:  Joe Jonas accidentally blabbed on Larry King Live that his little brother Nick Jonas was indeed dating Miley Cyrus again. LOVE IT! (US Magazine)

+ Justin Timberlake refuses to play golf with girlfriend Jessica Biel because she kicks his ass everytime. (PopCrunch)

+ Here's a shocker: Lauren Conrad just dished on The View that Spencer Pratt's apology on the last episode of The Hills was... GASP! STAGED! (Ryan Seacrest)

+ Um, a dead body was found during the clean-up after this year's Bonnaroo festival? So creepy! (NME)

+ Keyshia Cole pulled out all the stops on the L.A. leg of her current U.S. tour.  Friends like Keri Hilson, Nas, and Diddy were all in attendance to help the singer put on a star-studded show. Wish we could have gone! (Rap-Up)
