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...

Ohhhhh Joss Stone. When you're a host of a live show or a red carpet, it's kinda your JOB to be super NICE to people. And not... you know... call them liars? Which is actually what happened when she asked Kevin Jonas if the Jonas Brothers planned on partying after the MTV Europe Music Awards in celebration of  Kevin's 22nd birthday.

Kevin Jonas innocuously told Joss that no, the Jonas Brothers would NOT be poppin' bottles with models after the MTV EMAs because they're off to Italy to do a show. But Joss and MTV Germany's Joko Winterscheidt wouldn't take no for an answer, and awkward host banter ensued while the Jonas Brothers stayed diplomatic, but you could tell they were probably suppressing clenched teeth and an eye roll. Nick Jonas kinda wears an expression that sorta suggests "Is this real life?" (à la "David at the Dentist") -- the kind of expression one does when reality-meets-surreality on live international TV.

If I were the Jonas Brothers, I would've totally pulled out my Blackberry and started pretend-texting until the nails-on-a-chalkboard moment was over. (But then again, I hate confrontation.) The end of the clip is great, as Joe Jonas is kiiiiiinda-sorta like "Nah, really, I'm good."

Kevin Jonas! He's a year older! The senior member of the Jonas Brothers singing and rocking and "Bounce"-ing ensemble has turned 22, and we're all here to say, mazel tov, homie!

Nick and Joe stay mugging for the cameras and breaking young girls' hearts and having said young girls write tunes about them (coughTaylorSwiftcough... and is that a Demi Lovato rumor we're hearing?), but Kevin Jonas will always be the big dude behind the dudes.

So here's to you, amigo. Many happy returns to you and your wifey-to-be.

UPDATE (Wednesday 10/28/2009): The Jonas Brothers themselves took to Myspace yesterday to assuage the fears of zillions of JB fans and assure everyone that Nick Jonas' solo project does not mean the end of the Jonas Brothers. I repeat, the Jonas Brothers are NOT breaking up. They're just branching out.

Here's what the Jonas Brothers' told us on Myspace last night after Nick Jonas' solo project announcement quickly snowballed into break-up rumors:

WE ARE NOT BREAKING UP

#1 – The Jonas Brothers are NOT breaking up!

#2 – Nick Jonas IS working on a side project called

Nick Jonas & The Administration

#3 – This project will be released early in 2010

#4 - We are ALL excited about this project AND what we are doing TOGETHER!

#5 – We plan to make music together for as long as we can...

About 6 months ago, the three of us had a 2 week break from touring, and we all decided to go and do something that was on our hearts.  Joe went on a trip to Australia and New Zealand.  Kevin spent some time with his fiancé Danielle.  I decided to go to Nashville, TN to make a side project (Nick Jonas & The Administration) with 4 musicians - guys that I had met and worked with before.  If I was to describe the sound to someone… I would say its “heart & soul”, because the music that I make is from my heart, and the lyrics I write are from my soul.

We’ve said from the beginning of our career as the Jonas Brothers that anything we do outside of the group is a side project because you can’t break up brothers.  My brothers are my biggest supporters, and were on the phone with me every day while I was in the studio asking how it was going, and telling me they couldn’t wait to hear the record.

My brothers and I couldn’t be more excited to have these amazing opportunities as a group, and as individuals. We are already planning another world tour AS THE JONAS BROTHERS next summer, and it is all thanks to our amazing fans.

James Franco -- one of the reasons why Joe Jonas' new short  haircut is scientifically proven to be one of the hottest dude haircuts ever -- cannot pronounce Gucci and demonstrates a clear need for both a speech coach and an anger management therapist in these video outtakes from a failed Gucci commercial. Trust me, this one gets funnier, so keep watching.

Yes! We've had over half a year to get used to Joe Jonas' shaggy/curly Adrien Grenier haircut (and a little less time to let those reeedonkulous-flavored photos of Joe Jonas in In Style magazine sink in.) But it looks like Joe Jonas got sick of his curly hair (dude, I so hear that) and went nice, short, and clean-cut as the Jonas Brothers spent time in the Dominican Republic on the next leg of their world tour.

My take: this is totally the absolute hottest dude haircut ever -- case in point: James Franco, Robert Pattinson, and, um Nick Jonas! It's pretty much a scientific fact that it's nearly impossible for a dude to have this haircut AND NOT be smoking. It's a win/win situation. Somehow, Joe Jonas just managed to make himself EVER hotter. I know. Hard to believe. What do you think of Joe Jonas' new hair?

UGH. I'm STILL SO MAD that someone PUNCHED SWEET, ANGELIC LEONA LEWIS. I'mma borrow one from Katy Perry, who reacted thusly when Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift: "It's like you stepped on a kitten." Leona Lewis is a sweet lamb of a human being. And NO ONE deserves to slapped, except for maybe the balloon boy's father because he has such a douchey haircut. (And what kind of a name is Heene anyway? One that rhymes with WEENIE, actually. Ha!)

Anyway, here Leona Lewis just made a song (with the help of Ryan Tedder) about just WANTING TO BE HAPPY, and it's about how she can't even get the guy she's secretly in love with, and then she has to go watch him get married to some chick, and then SOMEONE HITS her? She's JUST TRYING TO BE HAPPY. GARRRH. I'M SO ANGRY I COULD BREAK MY MACBOOK AIR!

Okay. Strong Britney. Watch Leona Lewis' "Happy" video -- directed by Jake Nava ("Single Ladies," "She Wolf," "If U Seek Amy") -- off her upcoming album, Echo.

FACT #1: The Jonas Brothers have had a way busier summer and fall than you. They've been on their world tour, they've been filming Camp Rock 2, they executive-produced Honor Society's debut album, Kevin's been planning his wedding, they've been dressing up like ketchup and mustard and dressing up like Teletubbies, and they've had many intense Road Dogs softball games.

FACT #2: The Jonas Brothers run on pure energy. (And occasionally Dunkaroos.) So apparently their idea of a day off is a game of kickball with fans. (Win!) And, as always, giving back. Which is why the Jonas Brothers spent this past Sunday, October 11 engaged in two rousing games of kickball as part of the Verizon and LG "Kick for Change" event in Connecticut, where they distributed more than $1 million to nationwide charities through their Change for the Children Foundation. And among the fans that played JB kickball were members of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, the United Way, and Special Olympics.

As any good Jonas fan knows, when the Jonas Brothers play softball, they're the Road Dogs, but when they're in kickball mode, they're the Kickballers. And as the Kickballers, they won one game and lost one to the fans, but either way, JB fans still won.

Need a quick warm-up? Check out our Newsroom's pre-show live blog!

11:58pm -- As an ambulance races by with its lights on, the cop conducting traffic says, "Taylor Swift just beat up Kanye, and here's his ambulance." Kanye West might just be the most hated man in America right now.

11:50pm - On the way to the press room, I run into the young lady of the evening, Taylor Swift. I tell her, "Congratulations!" and she beams and yells back, "Thanks!"

Meanwhile, Beyonce zooms by while Tito Jackson cheers her on.

11:26pm - Jay-Z isn't rapping. He's firing words from his mouth like it's a machine gun. Radio City's never seemed this big.

11:22pm - Time for Jay-Z to take the stage! When Hov's back in town, everything shut down!

11:21pm - Everyone backstage is crowded around the monitor and smiling as Taylor Swift graciously re-accepts her award.

Oh yeah, the angel wings Gaga wore in her paparazzi performance are hanging on a hook nearby.

11:09pm - Pink's acrobatic performance partner just walked backstage, screaming and pumping his fists. Andy Samberg and Jimmy Fallon give him a high-five.

10:57pm - After Kid Cudi performs "Day N Nite," Wale says, "Rest in peace, DJ Am." Fingers form peace signs all around.

10:56pm - Serena Williams comes in really late. She chats on her cell phone while being escorted to her seat.

10:55pm - Kids are laughing at the All-American Rejects and asking why the lead singer is wearing glitter.

10:52pm - Everyone's wishing Pink good luck backstage before her performance. Plus, Eminem wins Best Behaved Celeb -- he's sitting quietly in his seat! (Unlike SOME Hennessy-swillin' rappers we know.)

10:48pm - Aside from Kanye's disturbance of the peace, the big story here tonight is Lady Gaga ... And how strange she's been acting. In addition to wearing a half-Papal/half Ms. Haversham crocheted get-up, Gaga's not really talking -- to anyone -- and now she's walking with an exaggerated limp.

10:34pm - Just talked to a security guard at the stage door where Kanye went to hang out after crashing the stage. The guard told me that Kanye has officially left the building. Meanwhile, dude just got booed HARD when they announced his nomination for Best Hip-Hop Video. ZING!

10:27pm - Backstage: Robert Pattinson is skinny in real life -- vampires really don't eat food, I guess. And Kristen looks like a tiny ice skater.

10:23pm -- After the New Moon trailer airs, R.Patz and crew are whisked backstage, photogs trailing a few steps behind. When Pattinson finally dodges them, he gets a few secs to chug a beer and watch Beyonce's performance, bobbing his head to the beat.

10:15pm - Just saw Beyonce's dancers dressed in silver backstage. Get ready to come to Beysus, y'all!

10:13pm - Kristin Cavallari's posing for the paps like a pro -- and she's being super sweet to all of her handlers. Where's the 'bitch' we all know and love? Also, Gaga just walked by in her feather headdress. She's got an assistant to hold the train of her dress!

10:11pm - Cobra Starship are outraged they didn't win Best Pop Video ... They tore up their tickets in disgust the whole time Britney's acceptance video played. "We woulda at least showed up!" frontman Gabe Saporta shouted. He then pulled a huge-ass flask out of his breast pocket and took a pull.

10:10pm - Billie Joe is helping people crash the stage. Looks like a mob scene. In fact, since the Green Day frontman is pretty short, he's completely eclipsed by the crowd around him.

10:02pm - Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are 12 feet away. I cannot confirm or deny that they will go home together.

10pm - Now Russell Brand's using his hosting skills to hit on Megan Fox.

9:59pm - Chace Crawford and Ne-yo just headed backstage. (Wait up, guys!)

9:57pm - Stage left, I'm watching Nelly Furtado and Kristin Cavallari prep for their upcoming intro.

9:56pm - Perez Hilton and Hayley Williams are both trying to start a #TeamTaylor trend on Twitter.

9:54pm - There will be blood. On Gaga ... and on the audience.

9:47pm - Sean from 3OH!3 jokingly just said to me, "We're up for Best New Artist, but after [Kanye], I'm a little scared to WIN!"

9:44pm - What does Jennifer Lopez do during a commercial break? Same thing we all do: texts her friends.

9:41pm - Taylor's proving how a true lady rolls -- after Kanye's me-me-me moment, she's singing her heart out and havin' a grand ole time. (Hey Kanye, look who's playing on top of a cab in the middle of NYC!)

9:38pm - Fall Out Boy give Green Day a standing-o after their win.

9:31pm - Diddy doesn't have time for a fan photo -- he's a busy mogul with a Twitter habit!

9:30pm - People are going nuts in here. They booed like crazy when Kanye leaped onstage and stole Taylor's thunder. He responded by giving them all the finger on the way back to his seat. During the commercial break, Pink walked by him shaking her head in disgust. Even the show producers gave him a talking to. Not surprisingly, he didn't seem at all bothered by everyone's reactions, grabbing his date Amber Rose and planting a kiss on her lips.

9:25pm - Kanye West ruins Taylor Swift's big moment. Further proof that he's on the Hennessy. (Aside from the pic below.)

9:22pm - Katy Perry just strutted by me. She's wearing a white, studded bustier paired with skintight pants. Hot, not cold AT ALL.

9:20pm - Russell's making good on those Jonas jokes from '08 and turning the hose on Lady Gaga. Shocker! He wants to bone her.

9:15pm - Katy Perry's bowing down to Russell Brand as a team of live drummers bangs out "We Will Rock You." Joe Freakin' Perry's on guitar! Get ready for some lewd LOLs ... Russell Brand's here!

9:08pm - "Thriller" rises again!!! MTV loves you, Michael! (And so does EVERYONE in the audience.)

9:05pm - When Madonna wants to tell a story, you let her tell her story. Especially when it's about the life of Michael Jackson. You could hear a pin drop in here.

9:02pm - Have the VMAs ever started off this serious? Still, Madonna's really nailing it, calling Michael Jackson "a hero."

8:59pm - Nelly Furtado just ran to her seat to catch the Michael Jackson opening tribute. So excited to see it!

8:55pm - Beyonce's making quite a splash on the carpet in a sexy, red ruffle dress and her hair done curly.

8:51pm - Afraid the girl behind me is gonna need EMT assistance: Chace Crawford is standing right in front of her.

8:47pm - Radio City's roaring after Wale announces, "We gonna burn this mother f**ker down."

8:46pm - The house band is getting started.
