  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

James Franco -- one of the reasons why Joe Jonas' new short  haircut is scientifically proven to be one of the hottest dude haircuts ever -- cannot pronounce Gucci and demonstrates a clear need for both a speech coach and an anger management therapist in these video outtakes from a failed Gucci commercial. Trust me, this one gets funnier, so keep watching.

Yes! We've had over half a year to get used to Joe Jonas' shaggy/curly Adrien Grenier haircut (and a little less time to let those reeedonkulous-flavored photos of Joe Jonas in In Style magazine sink in.) But it looks like Joe Jonas got sick of his curly hair (dude, I so hear that) and went nice, short, and clean-cut as the Jonas Brothers spent time in the Dominican Republic on the next leg of their world tour.

My take: this is totally the absolute hottest dude haircut ever -- case in point: James Franco, Robert Pattinson, and, um Nick Jonas! It's pretty much a scientific fact that it's nearly impossible for a dude to have this haircut AND NOT be smoking. It's a win/win situation. Somehow, Joe Jonas just managed to make himself EVER hotter. I know. Hard to believe. What do you think of Joe Jonas' new hair?

+ VH-1 reality star and Poison frontman Bret Michaels probably does NOT need to be reminded to "Open Up And Say... Ahh" for a Vicodin cocktail after getting pretty banged up at the Tony Awards last night. He suffered a broken nose and sundry other minor injuries when a piece of the set fell on top of him during the opening act. Get better, Bret! (MTV News)

+ Tons of stars like Rihanna, Adam Levine and his hot tattoos, Zac Efron (meh) and more turned out on Sunday, not just for the Tonys but for the Lakers vs. Magic game in L.A. (Neon Limelight)

+ A Jeff Buckley biopic may be in the works again, with James Franco among the brooding teen heartthrobs interested in the role. Franco is a dead ringer for Buckley, but can he sing?? (The Tripwire)

+ Possibly trying to make up for the debacle that was her Species-esque hairdo at the 2009 Movie Awards, Megan Fox moooooooore than redeemed herself at the premiere of the Transformers sequel in Japan. YOWZA! (Socialite Life)

+ Today's Twitter fight is brought to you by the picture of sobriety Lindsay Lohan and resident hottie Dr. Drew. (PopEater)

+ And speaking of sober sallies, Pete Doherty was holed up in a airplane restroom shooting smack like a pro. (Celebrity Smack)

+ This one has me LOLzing. "Back-in-school-cause-I'm-a-serious-writer" James Franco passed the eff out in one of his classes. (TMZ)

+ Kelly Clarkson and I have something in common (besides both of us having real boobs): she won't be crapping out any kids. P.S. her new album dropped today and you really REALLY should go get it. It's All I Ever Wanted. Buh dum dum. (Contact Music)

+ HOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW is Gavin Rossdale 43 years of age and STILL SO HOTTTTTTTTT?????????? SHIRTLESS!!!!! Again. 43, people. (Popbytes)

+ Spice Girl Mel C just released the first official photo of newborn Scarlet Starr (what's up with celebrities naming their children like they hate them??). Mel C looks good -- ScarStarr looks a little ... young? Ish? (MySpace Celebrity)

+ Um. Did I miss the memo that desk girl Chanel from Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory looks like she could book an appointment and then kick your ass, all while looking a perfect 10? Triple threat, indeedy. (Remote Control)

+ An open letter to Jennifer Hudson. Really. (Candy Kirby)

Seth Rogen kept us on our toes yesterday when he was at 1515 for TRL. With the insanity that is Tokio Hotel Fan Week, we weren't sure we were gonna get anywhere near the new king of comedy. But at the last minute, we got the call that Seth had a few minutes to spare. We quickly dropped everything and rushed to the studio, where the laid-back actor cordially answered all the questions we threw at him.

We talked about everything, from his new movie Pineapple Express to his love of '80s pop-rocker Huey Lewis. He even poked fun of the smoky stunt he and James Franco pulled at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards. Here's what he had to say...

Buzzworthy: What did you actually smoke on the set of Pineapple Express?

Seth Rogen: It's called Wizard Smoke. It's, like, a benign plant. It'll probably kill me in several years, but I guess it's just like oregano. Honestly, I don't know what it is. [Laughs.]

BW: What's your all-time favorite stoner flick?

SR: That's a good question. There's been a lot of debate as to what is or is not actually a "stoner flick." Like, is The Big Lebowski a stoner movie or is it just a movie about a guy who smokes weed a lot? Is Dazed and Confused a stoner movie or are there just stoner characters in it? So, I would say The Big Lebowski, if you count that. If not, I would say Friday because that is a pure stoner movie in my mind.

BW: Did you feel pressured to pull off a good stoner flick with Pineapple Express?

SR: Yeah, definitely. I mean, I had to look my own friends in the face again at some point, and it would have been such a humiliating failure if I couldn't write a weed movie. [Laughs.] So, yeah, I felt a lot of pressure, mostly from myself though.

BW: Are you happy with the end result?

SR: I am. I love it. Honestly, I watch it and can't believe they let us make it.

So the other day, the sweet, charming and extremely laidback Adam Brody stopped by "TRL." Here's an interview with the man himself, by the way. Anyway, we loved him as "The O.C."'s Seth Cohen, who, despite playing a lovable dork, looked good in his own right -- most often in Penguin. And we most certainly love Adam's street style, as he's often spotted rolling down the street walking his dog Penny Lane in a super casual well-worn, fitted vintage T and some slightly narrow but not blood-constricting jeans. Love it! Fortunately we were able to extract him from his adoring throngs of young female fans and pop a few style questions on him.

But first... if you missed the show, you're probably wondering what he wore! Drink it all in ladies…

Swoon! He was looking sartorial and positively professorly in a grey-ish blazer by Marni. And his perfectly fitted button-down shirt was from the hyper-celeb-forward line Band of Outsiders.

We were super surprised to discover that Adam does not work with a stylist -- all of that comfy, scruffy, crumpled cuteness is his a style all of his own. Here's what else he had to say about his own personal style when we sat down and chatted about style with him.

MTVStyleblog: You do all of your own shopping?

Adam Brody: Well, I like vintage stuff, it just takes a lot of time because everything fits so differently. I'm rarely ever in the mood to try on 20 pairs of pants, so I don't know, there are a few stores around LA. I like American Rag because it's got both, half vintage and new. I end up going to the new because, once again, I'm really lazy.

MTVSB: Do you have any favorite brands or designers?

Adam Brody: I like these Band of Outsiders shirts because they fit. I like all of the styles that fit narrow. I got a suit from Marni which is mainly women's stuff, but it fits really well. The guys' stuff fits pretty well, which is cool. As far as brands, I love Levi's jeans if you can get them to fit right. I have never had a brand new pair of jeans that I've actually liked as much as a 20-year-old pair. It's like leather, it needs to be worn in. I hate when it's starchy…

MTVSB: Do you have a go-to piece of clothing that you can't live without?

Adam Brody: I have a leather jacket at home that I wear a lot that I bought at some random boutique here in New York, but it's the only leather jacket that's felt natural on me. It's like a warm-up jacket, sort of Fred Perry, so it's got elastic cuffs and sleeves and it's really thin. It's the only leather jacket I put on where I don't feel like an idiot. It fits good.

Ok, let's get to the stealing!
