+ Call me a dreamer, but I'm preeeeeetty sure Robert Pattinson was just kidding. Wait -- Jimmy Kimmel was kidding about f---ing Ben Affleck, right?? (MTV News)

+ On a completely separate note, the Jonas Brothers are secure enough in their masculinity to make and sell clothes for 11-year-old girls. (Us Magazine)

+ I don't care if it's cool to hate Katy Perry. I don't care what Lily Allen thinks of her.  Lily Allen does not look like this. (Esquire)

+ Amanda Bynes is pretty hot and somehow stays vaguely relevant, given that she shows up to every single movie premiere in Hollywood wearing a tight black tube dress and gobs of really awful mascara. (Popoholic)

+ Brushing up on his battle skillz for his new Wisin y Yandel collabo video "Mujeres en el Club," 50 Cent got some free Spanish lessons from veteran Dominican video director Jesse Torrero. And let's just say he wasn't learning Don Quixote. (Blogamole)

+ Resident "it" girl Taylor Swift just released tour dates for her 2009 Fearless album. And by "tour dates," we mean playing pretty much every city in the continental U.S. (And a few dates in Canada. 'Cause they like country, y'all! Oh wait... Shania Twain... My bad.) (MTV News)

You can't really hate on Barbara Walters (okay, so you basically can, because it's hilarious), but lady's done paid her dues. She's sat down with Fidel Castro, gone face-to-face with Muammar Qaddafi, asked Katharine Hepburn what type of tree she'd be, and got a lap dance from Hugh Jackman, and truly, I'd probably rather be straddled by Castro.

So interviewing the Jonas Brothers would pretty much seem like cake next to chatting up deranged dictators, you know? But Jonases TOTALLY stonewalled Babs -- Nick and Joe especially -- and meanwhile, Kevin looked like he may or may not have been counting ceiling tiles.

But the best part of the whole thing happened last night, when Joe told Jimmy Kimmel that the Barbara Walters interview felt like it lasted three hours. The next best part -- their impression of Joaquin Phoenix -- seriously, you KNOW it's bad when the Jonas Brothers, who are the nicest dudes ever, are making fun of you! Time to give up the Mountain Man schtick already, bro.

Anyway, Jonases on Kimmel = Total LOLs. Now, back to listening to Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience soundtrack! (My favorite tracks is "Love Is On Its Way," followed by the Taylor Swift song "Should've Said No." What's yours?)

The VMAs ended 48 HOURS AGO, but a handful of New York-based MTV staff, myself included, are still back in L.A. polishing up photos, cutting up videos and type type typing away -- these blogs don't update themselves, gurlz.

Anyway, today was our last day of sitting in a 7,000-year-old production office on the Paramount lot -- fun for the first seven days, but now that the red carpet's rolled up and the celebs aren't rolling by in golf cart -- it was starting to feel a little prison-like, as evidenced by the view from the photo above (and not surprisingly, the actual Crosby building we've been working out of is scheduled to be demolished soon... we offered to help).

Anyway, on the drive back to the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood this evening (no, the Jonas Brothers aren't here, they're in London, but we did see Ryan Sheckler and Andy Hurley here earlier this week and Robert Pattinson and Katy Perry too), we spotted a big line of lots of young-lookin' folks dressed in lots of black. Then we spotted the back of the Jimmy Kimmel Pontiac Garage stage. Then, my eagle-eyed boss spotted what looked like a Tokio Hotel symbol. I hopped out of the rental car, confirmed, and snapped a pic of this fan and her awesome handmade sign.

OH MEIN GOTT/E! TOKIO HOTEL IS PERFORMING WITHIN SPITTING DISTANCE OF MY HOTEL! Best reason EVER to overstay my welcome in L.A.!

You know how sometimes just a little of something goes a really long way? Like guilt, or perfume or viruses? Well that doesn't work with Panic At the Disco.

After last month's "Nine Days of Panic," we were left wanting even more Panic At the Disco. Because a little Panic never seems to be enough. Somehow, Panic always breeds more Panic.

... Which is why we're counting down the eight days (because we already did nine) until the March 18th MTV.com premiere of Pretty. Odd. on The Leak.

Starting today, for the next eight days straight, watch two exclusive Panic At the Disco interview clips, where Brendon, Spencer, Jon and Ryan reveal the meaning behind their new songs and some slightly sordid stories involving boxers, Hannah Montana, and fan gifts they wish they never got.

In the first video, Panic tells you a bit more about "We're So Starving." In the second, they give mad love to Jimmy Kimmel and P.F. Chang's.

Being the raging partiers we are, we caught a hot Chromeo show from the comfort of our couch last night. The guys hit Jimmy Kimmel Live for their first-ever national TV performance. In an act of the most precious platonic man love we've seen since the sleeping bag scene in Superbad, Dave 1 used the end of their hot-to-death rendition of "Bonafied Lovin'" to shout out his and P-Thugg's bestfriendship when he told the Kimmel audience "Me and P-Thugg's been best friends since we were kids." Adorable.

We loved seeing P-Thugg's Vocoder skills in action, Dave's look of perpetual astonishment and their iconic '80s-style illuminated legs keyboards, which were conceptualized for their album cover by the Paris arm of international design firm Surface To Air.

So if you were up sorta late-ish last night, and hopefully you were, and saw Justice perform live on Jimmy Kimmel Live, you caught one of the most amazingly OMG-inducing events on TV since Janet's nip slip. After the always-funny Sarah Silverman (who's Jimmy's long-time girlfriend) and the always-horrifying pumpkin-headed Wayne Newton, the men behind Justice --Xavier de Rosnay and Gaspard Augé -- kicked off their live performance of "D.A.N.C.E." by standing offstage and tweaking the knobs on an old-school 1980s double-decker boombox.

The cameras panned over to the stage where -- hand to God -- a freaking dream team of the following celebrity impersonators performed a lipsynched, "unplugged" version of the song: Talking Book-era Stevie Wonder on drums; a resurrected Rick James (in overly revealing tight pants) on bass; the artist currently known as Prince on electric guitar (natch), Rod Stewart -- inexplicably -- on keys; and an avec-nose Michael Jackson, circa the Dangerous album, spin-kicking his way through the lead vocals.

Who cares that all of the "musicians" were off by half a phrase, at least? It doesn't matter that fake Prince looked more like real Rick James. Nevermind that it felt like a human version of those Animatronic shows you see at Showbiz Pizza. The whole concept was so simple and completely low-tech, but it was one of the most delightfully cheeky performances we've seen in ages and just additional proof that these guys are groundbreaking in just about everything they do. It's also probably the closest we'll get to seeing a not-scary Michael Jackson, to whom the song is basically a tribute, perform "live."

If you haven't seen it yet, (or even if you have, watch it again!) you can watch the live Justice performance here. Or you can just wait for it to bombard your inbox and instant messages later (we got one just seconds ago as we were writing this very post) later today.

And check out the T-shirt spree in their VMA-nominated video, "D.A.N.C.E."

Okay! In case you missed it, here is the hilariously amazing "My Humps" cover recently released by Alanis Morissette. As a disclaimer, I must admit that I was a pretty big Alanis fan back in the '90s , so maybe I have some lingering bias. However, whether or not you've got an old dusty copy of Jagged Little Pill in your CD collection, this new clip will leave your mouth agape and make you appreciate her humor. In case you were unaware, Alanis has been long known to possess some comedic talent -- remember "Dogma" when she cameo-ed as God (that's right, the big G) or the Pizza sketch she did on Jimmy Kimmel Live? Needless to say, with this new clip Alanis continues to get her funny on. Decked in full booty-shakin'-gyratin-ghetto glam fabulousness, she belts out a slower more "serious" take on Fergie's "My Humps." Although, her voice may leave you with chills the video will leave you on the floor. It's like a strange out of body experience. Enough said, check out Alanis in her long nails, big hoops and cleavage-spillage tops.
