Buh-bye Bush, hello President Obama! After months of waiting (im)patiently -- and speculating wildly over Michelle Obama's first First Lady dress -- inauguration day is finally here!

And since today's official swearing-in (which is taking place RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT!!!!) marks the end of an error era, we figured we'd milk it by giving you detailed recap, a schedule of what's to come and the highlights of Obama's three-day "I'm About To Be Prez" bender. Enjoy!

+ First up: what's still to come! See what the First Family is up to all day -- you know, after watching the head of the household/44th President of the United States nail the inaugural address at 12:05pm.)

+ Weekend recap! Obama admits he'll "have trouble sleeping" the night before becoming the nation's next Commander-in-Chief. Plus, Pete Wentz announces he'll be leaving Ashlee and beh-beh Mowgli at home to play the Youth Inaugural ball (tonight at 10pm!), with a little help from lesser-known stars (ha!) Kanye West and Kid Rock.

+ Beyonce starts the inaugural weekend off right by headlining a star-studded bash at the Lincoln Memorial. Flip through all the live concert pics here! (Not shown: the exact moment when Honest Abe started crumping uncontrollably).

+ Celebs like Nick Cannon and Wilmer Valderrama reminisce about the day they met Barack Obama. Bonus: Usher brags about the time he swiped Barack's candy bar. Not cool, bro!

+ Silly grown-ups ... inaugurations are for kids! Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and the JoBros blew away fans, the Obama girls and fuhklempt Buzzworthy editors with an amazing, kid-centric performance at last night's "We Are the Future" concert. (And never mind that Miley's dress/beehive looked like something your mom would've worn to her high school prom.)

+ And don't forget the time T.I. rocked the mic at Club Love, and Jay-Z swung by the "Presidential Status" inaugural ball to drop a guest verse on Young Jeezy's "My President." A sample of the improv rhyme? "My president is black, he's black, he's half white/ So even in a racist mind, he's half right." Watch the video!

Catch every amazing detail of Barack Obama's historic ascent to the White House (update: he's delivering the inaugural address now!) by watching the entire event on live-stream and reading MTV.com's up-to-the-minute blog coverage.

+ Rumor has it, Rihanna's been keeping Chris Brown on a tight leash, holding her "friend" to rules like "no girls past midnight" and no unsupervised visits from members of his female entourage. Sheesh, possessive much? (Scandalist)

+ Rapper Lil' Kim's character plays a big part in the Biggie documentary, Notorious. But that didn't stopped the Queen Bee from blasting the film, skipping the premiere, and waging war with Biggie's widow, Faith Evans. (MTV Movies)

+ More praise over Britney Spears' "comeback!" This time, critics credit Brit with looking "toned" and "stunning" for her brother's wedding. Not mentioned: the fact that her plunging neckline stops about two inches above her belly button. (The Sun - UK)

+ Fall Out Boy's still up in arms over the Blender cover story that depicts Pete Wentz as a "paranoid, pill-popping narcissist" and claims Patrick Stump nearly killed himself over a football game. (MTV News)

+ Happy New Year, and welcome back to reality. While you were nursing your TV hangover, Tokio Hotel's Bill Kaulitz was "chirring" in Ibiza and showing off some new locks quite similar to his twinsie, Tom. Aww! (Tokio Hotel Network)

+ Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz has much to be thankful for in the new year: his gorge wife Ashlee Simpson, their new little baby Bronx Mowgli, and his band's new album Folie a Deux. But his Internet rep does not make the list. And, frankly, he'd prefer if we all would just drop the whole "d-bag" thing. (The Superficial)

+ See if celebs like Fergie and Lady Gaga made the "best" or "worst" dressed list on New Year's Eve. (The Cut)

+ Miley Cyrus and bestie Mandy Jiroux also dropped a new holiday video in which they dance around Miley's closet and attempt to get some publicity mileage for Mandy's new group, the Beach Girlz. Yay for Miley! Yay for Mandy! Yay for more celeb holiday vids! (Evil Beet)

+ Proud parents Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz introduced Fall Out baby boy Bronx Mowgli via holiday card on Friends Or Enemies. We much prefer this method over splashin' his baby butt all over the cover of a cheezy tabloid. Also, they saved lots of trees AND are encouraging their fans to make donations instead of making a buck. Savvy! (Friends or Enemies)

(Insert "Burnin' Up,"/ Sarah Palin joke here.) (PBS)

+ And speaking of Google, stop cyberstalking baby Bronx Mowgli Wentz (seriously, it's starting to get creepy) and preview Papa Pete's latest project -- Fall Out Boy's new album, Folie a Deux -- instead. Oh, and did we mention it's free? (MySpace Music)
