So you're looking to cop Lady Gaga's look from her "Bad Romance" video -- and really, who's not? -- but there's a very good chance you don't have access to stylist Nicola Formichetti or the Haus of Gaga, who created Gaga's looks in the "Bad Romance" video, there's an EXCELLENT chance you shouldn't wear razor blade sunglasses, you maybe can't easily access the 2010 Alexander McQueen Gaga wears in "Bad Romance," and if you have a hairless cat then may God have mercy on your soul.)

Luckily pretty much everyone (save a few New Yorkers in super small apartments) has a bathtub. So get inside of yours to do your creative dress-up thinking. Next, girls, begin by looking no further than your own underwear drawer. Guys, look no further than the nearest girl's underwear drawer! Bras and undies are going to be the key to your look. Think blacks, whites, and red, and then pile on rhinestones and long strands of black beads. (Just don't tell your mom I told you.) Then get crack-a-lackin' on that mascara. The harsher the better.

Okay, next you need white boots. The white boots on the left go up to size 14, so dudes, get on that! But, even better, the white boots on the right have a little Sexy Mrs. Claus cuff -- 'tis almost the season, after all.

Next, an actual attainable-to-real-people product that Gaga wears in "Bad Romance" (one of the few real-people products in "Bad Romance," besides her $99 Heartbeats By Lady Gaga jeweled earbuds) are the white Carrera Champion sunglasses -- you've seen Carreras on Joe Jonas, Kanye West, T.I., and Britney -- Gaga wears toward the end of the video before she blows up the polar bear and the Russian john. And, for serious, Gaga's sunglasses are actually available in stores that real, non-Gaga people shop in. Like Macy's.

Next, nails! Gaga's big into white nails. She's got white nails in her "Bad Romance" video, and she had snow-white nails when she was here at MTV last week. Gwen Stefani's been big into white nails for a minute now and sent her L.A.M.B. models down the runway in Dashing Diva's "Fleet Week" dress white shade. Cop it for eight bucks to cop Gaga's look.

Now there's one final element missing from your "Bad Romance" outfit. And that is...

"Hell Of A Life" is a track off of the upcoming re-release of T.I.'s Paper Trail. The track echoes Tip's smash, "Whatever You Like," from the same album.

The video, which shows T.I. at both his flossiest and most humble, is a staged depiction of the Atlanta MC's last 24 hours before he checks himself in for incarceration, filmed in the days leading up to his actual incarceration.

Now I'm Team T.I. all the way, but if you were facing a prison sentence, would you spend your last hours of freedom making a video about facing a prison sentence? Especially a video that includes scenes of you in prison!? If it were me, I'd rather spend my last few days outside. Oh? You want to make a video pretending that you're on your way to/spending your first night in prison? Ok! You can do whatever you like!

The 2009 MTV VMA nominees are OUT! And sorry, Britney fans, but Lady Gaga and Beyonce are the big earners so far with NINE NOMINATIONS EACH for "Single Ladies (Put A Ring on It)," "Poker Face," and "Paparazzi" leaving Britney in the dust with a "paltry" seven nominations for "Womanizer."

Also, WTG, Drake! What up, dude. Hope that knee heals. He's up on the leaderboard with his first-ever nomination for Best New Artist!

T.I. is SERIOUS about being sorry. You know how I know? Because he put Mary J. Blige in his new video, "Remember Me," and no one calls on Mary J. Blige unless they're super serious. I'm not saying Mary J.'s a downer, but she is strictly business. No one puts Mary J. in their video strictly for comic relief, you know? She doesn't pop up in wacky pie-in-the-face gag reels. Because Mary J. Blige a closer.

But just because T.I.'s had the book thrown at him and the jail cell closed on him -- he's currently serving a 366-day jail sentence for attempting to buy firearms from an undercover cop -- doesn't mean he's gone for good. T.I. DOES NOT want you to forget him. Ever.

Promise T.I. you'll be waiting for him the minute he gets out of the clink by watching his new video, "Remember Me," directed by Jessy Terrero (50 Cent, Wisin & Yandel).

Maybe not that sorry?

+ Exciting news about Madonna that has nothing to do with adoption and nannies! The Queen of Pop will be teaming up with none other than Paul Oakenfold for the U.K. and European legs of her "Sticky & Sweet" tour, as well as some new tracks on her September 2009 greatest hits album that will consist of "cutting edge sounds combined with classic Madonna."

+ Cher is finally speaking out about her daughter Chastity Bono's decision to transition from female to male. She seems to be pretty cool about the whole thing. OMG my mom would ground me for at LEAST three weeks. (Star Magazine)

+ After Whitney Houston turned down the part, rapper Eve has signed up for a two-episode story arc on the upcoming FOX series GLEE as a high school choir director. (EW.com)

+ Ooh! A new video from Ciara f. Missy Elliott where Ciara turns a construction site into a catwalk? We'll take two. (Rap-Up)

+ Geography is HARD y'all!  Britney Spears slipped up and said "What's up, London?!"at the only concert she did in the U.K. 200 miles outside of London (the show was in Manchester). Let's just say the fans were not amused. (CelebWarship)

+ Meanwhile, back in an Arkansas prison, T.I.'s got a rill RILL bad case of the squirts. (Bossip)

+ 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)

NO FAIR! Jojo Simmons -- yes, JoJo of MTV's Run's House (repreSENT!) fame -- TOTALLY GOT OUTSIDE HELP with his new Team Blackout video, "Gotta Have Her."

Just playin'. JoJo Simmons proves he's got the rap skills (do I perhaps hear a budding T.I., minus the legal fail?) in Team Blackout's new video, "Gotta Have Her." And DAMN!! Zach's got that Twista tongue!

Also, check that video-as-film narrative. And THANK YOU, JoJo and Team Blackout for employing that technique but not resorting to Jamie Foxx "Blame It" extremes, mkay?

At the height of his slow-cooking 50 Cent beef, Officer Ricky Rick Ross -- the new authority on high-end timepieces (NSFW) -- drops a white-suited wallop of a video with John Legend singing the money-dripping hook.

The Gil Green (Lil Wayne's "Lollipop," Akon's "Lonely," DJ Khaled's "So Hood")-directed video for "Magnificent" may not include any overt attacks on 50, but it certainly does support claims that Ross's life has only gotten better since the beef began.

For one thing, "Magnificent" looks like it cost about $100 million to make. It could definitely replace Scarface as the video in heavy rotation on all the Cribs flatscreens. Sounds like $100 million, too! The Deeper Than Rap single was produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, frequent Jeezy (and once Young Buck!) co-conspirators. Finally, John Legend really drives the message home when he croons that hook through clenched teeth.

Swimmin' in women/ Champagne sippin'/ Gold Emblem with 2 Ms in it/ This living is so magnificent/ Stop dreaming it/ I'm living it!

Here it is. Rick Ross The Boss's latest look at the good life. Bet on "Magnificent."

Singer-songwriter Hikaru Utada is no rising star. She's actually been on the Japanese music scene since the early 1990s -- she got her start as U3, bounced around record labels, recorded in English and Japanese, and in 1999, when she released her first official debut album, First Love, it became Japan's biggest-selling album in history and reached Mariah/ Britney levels of chart success.

Also, like Mariah and Britney, Utada also became a Major Star in Japan and one of the biggest-selling Asian artists of all time. But despite her monster levels of fame in Japan, her Incredible Hulk-like smashing of the Japanese charts, and her residencies in the U.S., and despite the depth and reach of her music and skills (she's also a producer and arranger), outside of Japan Utada's still primarily known just by J-pop and J-music aficionados.

MTV News asked it back in 2004, and I'm asking it yet again: Nine albums into her storied career, will her latest English-language album, This Is the One, finally be the one that makes her a star outside of Japan?

Watch Utada's brand-new video, "Come Back To Me," directed by Anthony Mandler (Rihanna's "Shut Up And Drive," T.I.'s "Live Your Life," M.I.A.'s "Bucky Done Gone," and Beyonce's "Irreplacable," to name just a few), and tell me what you think. It's kinda like a poppier Portishead meets Beyonce. And all that melancholy makes me wanna follow it up with Janet Jackson's original "Come Back To Me," which is never a bad thing...

+ The City star Whitney Port was snapped having a hot-n-heavy makeout sesh with Robert Buckley, the dreamboat from Lipstick Jungle.  We totally support this and any liplocking that does not involve Jay Lyon. (Pretty Boring)

+ You can have whatever you like, but you, T.I., can only have this state-issued orange jumpsuit which you'll be wearing for the next 366 days in prison. Sorry, brah! (MTV News)

+ Who knew that Jennifer Hudson once wanted to pursue the exciting career of tattoo artistry? (Scandalist)

+ We totally forgot about Ian Somerhalder (you know, the hottie from 2002's The Rules Of Attraction). Looks like he'll be playing a bloodsucker on the CW's new show Vampire Diaries. (Socialite Life)

+ Kelly Clarkson looks seriously adorable on the cover of her new single "I Do Not Hook Up." (ICYDK)

+ Mmm... wanna see a huge, disgusting chunk of wax in Zac Efron's ear? Of course you do. (TMZ)

+ In the "Why?/ Because 'Why Not?'" category for today, Lady GaGa will be performing "Poker Face" on American Idol??? (Pop Crunch)

+ Chicago thinks Pete and Ashlee are on the rocks, but WHAT does Chicago know? Meanwhile, over in Twitterland, looks like Ashlee was keeping Pete's seat warm at the Australian VMAs. (Chicago Sun Times)

+ Does Anna Kournikova do anything anymore besides put on bathing suits and make pouty faces? Did she ever do anything else?? (Egotastic!)
