I know that this is supposed to be an interview with Shwayze and you're watching it and you're saying, 'I see Shwayze, singer/emcee, performer of the summer breeze of song "Buzzin'." But who invited the Doobie Brothers roadie?'

Well, that's Cisco Adler, who you may remember from such hits as, "I Dated Mischa Barton" or "I Dated Lauren Conrad" or perhaps most notably, "I Am Most Notable For Having Some Naked Pictures Of Myself Wind Up On The Internet."

In truth, Shwayze is both one dude's name and the name of a group (or project) that encompasses said dude and Adler. So...they're like PJ Harvey, I guess.

Cisco and Shwayze are gathered to talk candy, frights and Fall; that's right, it's another episode of "Halloween Horrors." Adler recalls the rough streets of his Hawaii youth while Shwayze admits to being something of a Reese's thief.

It's pretty safe to say most of the world is Team Taylor after Kanye West flipped out on America's Princess at the 2009 VMAs. Here's what celebrities are saying on Twitter about Kanye's Taylor Swift VMA freakout.

Hayley Williams: Taylor swift, y'all. #teamTaylor

Katy Perry: F++K U KANYE. IT'S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN.

Lauren Conrad: i heart Taylor Swift! Congrats! Well deserved

Perez Hilton: @TaylorSwift13 Love you!

Kelly Pickler: Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls bitch! don't mess w/my lil sis!!

Pink: Beyonce is a classy lady.I feel for her, too.Its not her fault at all, and her and taylor did their thing. And douche bag got kicked out. HA

Spencer Pratt: Let's be very clear King Spencer would never do anything like what Kayne just did to a sweet soul like Taylor!

Drake's Knee! Bey was real classy for doin that for Taylor Swift / next time Kanye wanna shoot my vid eat a d**k

McFly's Tom Fletcher: Taylor Swift should have kicked him in the nuts! What an eventful VMA's.

Evan Taubenfeld: I feel bad for Taylor. She didn't deserve that. but ironically I also love kanye & his stupid fish sticks

Fefe Dobson -- the Canadian rock singer-songwriter who's toured with Justin Timberlake, written for Miley Cyrus and Jordin Sparks, counts Demi Lovato as a fan, and earned herself two Juno Award nominations -- is a style chameleon whose ever-evolving sense of fashion is clearly reflected in her musical tastes, which range from the White Stripes to Kurt Cobain to the Vines to Britney Spears, and her and collaborators, which include Cyndi Lauper, and Cobra Starship, who she'll be performing live with at the The 2009 Video Music Awards Battle for the Best Breakout NYC Artist this Friday, September 10 in New York.

Fefe's new album, Joy, is coming out soon, and we'll see if her style continues to evolve as her music does too. But first, she's going shopping with MTV's Kim Stolz for something to wear to the 2009 VMAs this Sunday, September 13.

Check out a few of Fefe Dobson's looks to get a feel for her style, and stay tuned for an inside look at what goes into celebrity shopping for the VMAs!

Like Britney Spears, one of her many musical influences, Fefe Dobson rocks a faux fur jacket at Lauren Conrad's "Head for the Hills" party in Toronto in March 2008. And those glasses? Gabe Saporta and Justin Timberlake would be proud.

Fefe goes glam -- think a cross between Vanessa Hudgens and Rihanna (who Fefe's accused of stealing her style) -- without shedding her rocker-girl edge at an entertainment event in Toronto in September 2006.

At a June 2009 party thrown by wil.i.Am in Toronto, Fefe pulls off a classic Joan Jett rocker-girl look in cut-offs and lots of leather.

Total ladies-only day on It's On With Alexa Chung today with guests Cameron Diaz and Sofia Vassilieva AND the gorgeous and giggly Demi Lovato (seriously, doesn't she have the sweetest little laugh?) Anyway, here's what Alexa wore today!

Wednesday, June 24

+ Plaid shirt: Her own.

+ Jeans: Her own, Topshop.

+ Necklace: Tuleste Market.

+ Shoes: Chanel.

Tons of you have been Tweeting about how much you love Alexa Chung's style, so here are some Alexa-inspired pieces.

Alexa's beige and black two-strap Mary Janes were completely-off-the-charts worshipful. But for those of us not on a Chanel budget, check out these three-tone black, beige and grey cutout Pour La Victoire (Ashley Tisdale's a fan of the brand) platforms. They're $197.15 on Endless.com.

Alexa was wearing her own plaid button-down shirt. Check out Kettle Black's black and grey version. It's $121 at Shopbop.com.

I also really love the grungy variations of blue and purple in this Quiksilver plaid shirt. It's from the men's department, but who cares, really? It's $52 at Quiksilver.com.

Finally, get at some Paige Premium Denim for SUPER skinny dark jeans like Alexa's. Selena Gomez, Lauren Conrad, and Gwen Stefani are all Paige fans too, and Demi was wearing a pair on today's show as well. Check out the Skyline skinnies for $168. They're super skinny but surprisingly stretchy and perfect for tucking into boots (rain boots, as the case may be) or with heels or ballet flats.

+ 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)

Miley Cyrus' dusty rose Moschino Cheap & Chic dress may've been all business at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards (and HELLLOOOO, Lauren Conrad! Super smokin', also in Moschino), but while Miley's dress was super sophisticated, her turquoise-blue nail polish was pure party. Want turquoise nails like Miley's? Check out Butter London's "Artful Dodger" -- a bright teal that's not only electric but non-toxic. It's $14 and available at ButterLondon.com.

Did you see The Hills last night? Holy ship. Is there a better show? I know this is neither the time nor the place, but I'm pretty sure Spencer Pratt is the most interesting person who has ever been alive. No offense, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but homeboy went to therapy and became a different person. A sensitive person who is also a rapper. WHAT THE HELL?

Not only that, but as a barely-recovering Laguna Beach junkie, I am SO psyched for the return of Kristin Cavallari. Did you see her go straight for Justin Bobby?? What I wouldn't give to go to bed tonight and wake up in next year so all of my unanswered Hills questions would be answered already!

But enough about my "problem." Aside from Spencer's emergence from his cocoon of cruelty as a gentle butterfly, last night's big story was Lauren Conrad's departure. What was originally her spin-off, officially entered a new life of its own as she rode away from K-Cav and the Speidi extravaganza alone.

To mark the beginning of a whole new era, Hills producers brought in a whole new voice. They very wisely landed on young buck Tamar Kaprelian, whose fresh and honest single "New Day" has enough emotion in every note to knock the grass off The Hills. Look out, "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield! It's a new day.

In the great tradition of reality TV, I'm gonna let Tamar Kaprelian introduce herself. Here are a couple highlights from her hand-written bio:

I am 22. Songwriting is the most sacred thing in my life. Classic Disney films influenced me as a kid, but my true love of music came about when I discovered Billy Joel and Paul McCartney. In love I fell.

My music chronicles my life, my relationships, my basket-case-ness, and my utter determination and drive to create an album that is real and true to me both personally and artistically.

I hope you enjoy my little musical offerings and songs.

Peace & love.

What a sweetheart, eh? Plays a mean piano, too. Keep an eye out for Tamar Kaprelian and catch her first single "New Day" in The Hills' Season 5 finale, starting tonight!
