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...

Paramore got the went under the microscope of none other than Dr. Alexa Chung (who received her PhD from Oxford in Interviewing Technique) recently.
Paramore discuss the state of daycare on this past summer's No Doubt tour (which they opened), and long for the protective earphones worn by the tykes who accompanied Gwen and the Gang. Other highlights:
- Hayley doesn't shower enough.
- Hayley seems noncommittal about "Party In The U.S.A."
- The boys in the band all wear the same shoes.
- Hayley writes lyrics in her PJ's.
The band goes on to chat about their Brand New Eyes album and generally display the unassuming cuteness and likability that makes us all love them to death.

Just off stage left at Radio City is a tiny closet with a small crawl space off to its side. A poster of Gwen Stefani (Tragic Kingdom era) hangs on the wall, and underneath that sits a few stacks of generic-looking cardboard boxes. Inside those boxes are the silver statues owned by the likes of Britney Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson, and 25 years worth of MTV artists. Behold, we've located and unboxed the 2009 MTV VMA Moonmen. And they're currently sitting in a tiny production closet in Radio City until they go home with their rightful owners tomorrow night.
The winners' names aren't on the Moonmen. Sorry to disappoint you if you're looking for spoilers. And on that note, that list of VMA winners floating around is NOT REAL. But what is real is how incredibly HEAVY MTV Moonmen are!
When I tried picking up a Moonman (for best blogger??? OMGGGG thanks!! Jk), I went in for a casual one-hand grip. Joke was on me. Turns out a Moonman weighs at least 8 pounds if not more. If the Golden Popcorn's made by the same people who make the Moonman, I now see why Kristen Stewart almost dropped her MTV Movie Award.
Watch the MTV VMas tomorrow night at 9 p.m. EST to see who'll get a Moonman.



MTV Germany sat down with Tokio Hotel for a brand-new interview! Because my German skills are essentially limited to "Tokio," "kinder," "Deutschland," "Sprechen sie Deutsch?" (answer: no, obviously), and whatever Google translator spits out, here's what I know:
"Science Fiction, fears, new album, cars, brides - Bill & Tom have made an issue. Here comes the interview with Germany's currently most successful international band."
+ Watch MTV Germany's new Tokio Hotel interviews, and for the love of "Schrei," please, one of you, TRANSLATE this marfar for me! My sub-par Spanish knowledge and pidgin Hebrew are of NO help. :<
PS -- After the jump, read the funniest comment I've read about the "Humanoid" album cover. Also, HOW Gwen Stefani are Bill's pants?

There are no bells, whistles, or smoke, though there are mirrors in Paramore's brand-new video, "Ignorance." Just a perfectly post-punk performance video like you've come to expect from Paramore, with hints of Hole, former tour mates No Doubt (Hayley does look a little Gwen in that white Clockwork Orange-inspired outfit), and even some Nirvana-but-now color palettes.
Watch Hayley -- red-headed-er than ever and the biggest little frontwoman in rock today -- turn the light on Josh and Zac Farro, Jeremy Davis, and Taylor York in the first song and video off Paramore's forthcoming Rob Cavallo-produced album, brand new eyes (intentional lowercases), out September 29.
Is Paramore's illuminating "Ignorance" video, directed by Honey, a breakthrough or an inquisition? You decide.

HUGE Alexa Chung day today! Adam Sandler and Leslie Mann, the GLOWING and radiant Nelly Furtado -- watch her brand-new "Manos Al Aire" video here if you haven't yet -- a live Passion Pit performance, and Michelle Collins talking about nips! You can't BUY that kind of good, American entertainment with actual money. Anyway, here's what Alexa wore today.

Thursday, July 30
+ Sweater: J. Crew
+ Jeans: Topshop
+ Heels: Marni
+ Necklace: J. Crew
A great grey V-neck sweater is a wardrobe staple, but you know what also should be a wardrobe staple? This SWEET vampire-inspired grey Topshop sweater designed by German designer Markus Lupfer (Madonna and Gwen Stefani are fans). It's sooo delightfully Rocky Horror/ Twilight-meet-Rolling Stones, and it's $170 at Topshop.com.
And check out Forever 21's black Deco-inspired bib necklace. It's just $6.80, which is like less than one of those huge Jamba Juices.

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. 

+ For all two people who haven't heard this devastating news, darling dollface David Archuleta's DAD (who is also a MORMON, in case you forgot) was busted for soliciting prostitution at a massage parlor in Utah. <using our spa voices>: P.S. — Looks like he got a "happy ending" too. This makes up for anything our parents never got us for Christmas. (MTV News)
+ Guess who's gracing the cover of Elle magazine's July music issue: none other than the always lovely and forever glamorous Gwen Stefani. Va va va VOOM! (Popbytes)
+ Miley Cyrus was out for a little seafood dinner when she gave an impromptu performance, much to the crowd's surprise! They begged for more, but she made her exit after two songs. (E! Online)
+ Jack White hates MySpace and wants you to go to the record store and buy his friggin' vinyl... (The Tripwire)
+ ...which is probably a good idea since MySpace just laid off like 400 people (about 30% of its workforce). YIKES! Think I should cancel that interview I have next week? (All Things Digital)
+ Nick Lachey says he's never heard unlikely singer Susan Boyle actually sing. Hm. Sounds like Nick needs to take a trip on them Interwebs those lazy crazy kids are usin' these days. (US Magazine)

Earlier today, over in the Twitterverse, Paramore's Hayley Williams -- or a shockingly realistic Hayley facsimile -- wins the honor of today's Buzzworthy Tweet of the Day:
one day i will look like gwen stefani. one day. and on that day i will marry myself. goodnight everyone! about 14 hours ago from web
Who doesn't wanna look like Gwen Stefani? But if anyone's next in line to look like Gwen, it's clearly Hayley -- Paramore and No Doubt are on tour right now. Think Gwen's doing Hayley's hair before their shows? And is it possible to temporarily die of sweet fantasy?
+ See what Paramore told MTV News about their next album.
