As a full-blown Tokio Hotel fan as well as a style savant, I'm almost as excited about Bill Kaulitz's new hair and makeup looks as I am about the release of Tokio Hotel's new album, Humanoid, which comes out Tuesday, October 6 in the U.S.

And, since I'm always willing to put myself in the hot seat -- especially if it means bringing joy to the MTV Buzzworthy Blog's diehard, devoted Tokio Hotel fans -- I asked the wonderful, talented Keri Blair, who's a senior artist at MAC (and whose JOB it is to fly around the WORLD prettying up models during international fashion shows and shoots) to give us a step-by-step tutorial and show us how to recreate Bill Kaulitz's "Automatic" makeup look.

The phenomenally talented Keri, using her arsenal of beauty tips and tricks, recreated Bill Kaulitz's new look, and the results? Well I'm a realistic girl. My nose is, charitably, Roman, and looks nothing like the Kaulitz twins' much-regaled perfect nose. In my estimation, I looked a bit more like a hybrid of Gene Simmons' secret lovechild and this remote-control-operated Beauty And The Beast costume that I saw at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (but that thing's SO cyberpunk too!) than the lost Kaulitz sister. Also, my eyes stung a little, but I totally took one for Team Tokio AND I realized how much Bill goes through to keep his look fresh and fun. And, while Bill does vamp it up (and we love that about him), he makes it look so easy. Ugh. So unfairsies. So while it was fun to Be Bill for a hot second, we all know there can only ever be one Bill Kaulitz.

But, if you love to play dress-up, check out me (that top left photo is to assert that in general, I do look like a normal human, lest you were wondering or wondering) and Keri, and see how you can create Bill Kaulitz's incredibly robotic, hypnotic, totally "Humanoid" new makeup look.

(And HUGE thanks, of course, to everyone at MAC and to Dolores at Self Salon in Williamsburg as well as the fantastic Cody Ross of Priestess NYC and his little dog too!)

I can get into The Summer Set's iPod-ready pop-punk stylings; I can get into the youthful, effortless energy of it all, but I gotta say, I LOVE that the one girl of this fivesome is the band's drummer. Sorry -- not sexist, right? That's just bad-ass, and I love it. You work your stuff, Jess Bowen; who says the guys should be the only ones hitting stuff?

So anyway -- still with me? The Summer Set, of Arizona, is all you if you're into some honest fare for your party mix or your running playlist. The group's sounds are very, very of-the-now, but there's solid musical instincts behind it; and the lyrics are airy and mercifully un-cheesy.

Even though they're signed now, The Summer Set ctually made a name for itself with self-released EPs, MySpace postings, and unsolicited friend requests!

I'm particularly into "Chelsea" -- about a girl whose sheer hotness is powerful enough to get other girls' names deleted from iPhones. Little aside: "Chelsea" is based on lead singer Brian Dales' girlfriend Chelsea Staub -- surely you know her as Stella Malone from JONAS on Disney. So does that mean Chelsea really wears a new dress every day? Girl, that's a lot of work... but I guess you get back what you put out; this might even be the dangerous Chelsea from that sweet Stefy song...

The Summer Set's debut full-length album, Love Like This, drops this fall on October 13th. Can't wait for that? Listen to The Summer Set's cover of Usher's "Love In This Club." And follow them on Twitter at @the_summer_set.

Pour one out. '80s movie icon John Hughes passed away yesterday at the all-too early age of 59 from an unexpected heart attack.

It makes us blue. Hughes epitomized our awkward, angsty high school experience like no other with his excellent string of irreverent teen '80s comedies like, Sixteen Candles, Pretty In Pink, The Breakfast Club, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Weird Science (not to mention the multi-hyphenate genius was also the writing mind behind, Some Kind of Wonderful , National Lampoon's Vacation, the Home Alone trilogy and a ton of other films).

But Hughes' brilliant and attitude-filled films gave us more than just laughs, heart-on-sleeve admissions and classic put-downs like "you neo maxi zoom dweebie." His films also left us with indelible moments set to music, plus he turned us onto a plethora of great '80s new wave bands like the Psychedelic Furs, The Smiths, OMD, Oingo Boingo, The Thompson Twins, Altered Images, Simple Minds, General Public, etc. etc. -- the list goes on and on.

So we thought we'd celebrate John Hughes' movie music legacy with a video playlist of many the hits that elevated his films into something truly special and everlasting. Watch the whole thing here, plus here's a few highlights and our particular faves.

For more , MTV News points us to a really cool, previously unpublished interview one of their writers conducted with Hughes in 1997, and this other old school MTV interview where the filmmaker said he "stumbled" into making teen films by accident.

Alex Greenwald -- Phantom Planet frontman, Mark Ronson collaborator, and former model -- used to be so freaking hot it was almost impossible to look at him without thinking "nasty thoughts," as Janet Jackson once said. But not long ago, a paparazzi photo popped up in which the once-smokin' Alex looked like a straight-up hobo. Still, who'd he have hanging on his arm? British supermodel and Met Ball belle Agyness Deyn.

While we've got no problem with some slight shagginess, Alex Greenwald has seen better days, and his unkempt hair looks gnarlier than ever. (A tip: lather, rinse, repeat... repeat... repeat...) Still, Alex bagged a supermodel, so maybe the joke's on us.

Anyway, the shaggy/smoldering combo of Alex Greenwald and Agyness Deyn reminded us of some more hot chicks and the mangy men they love. So check out more of Buzzworthy's favorite guys who look like they live in boxcars and the beautiful babes who love them anyway.

Ryan Adams: Alt-country musician Ryan Adams won the heart of pop-folk singer Mandy Moore, who's had high-profile romances with tennis hunk Andy Roddick as well as Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff, while Ryan dated pretty Parker Posey. But it was ultra-shaggy Ryan who swept Mandy off her feet: Ryan and Mandy got married just last month. Hopefully the groom, uh, groomed for the big day.

Alex DeLeon: Okay, Alex DeLeon -- who's been linked to the radiant Demi Lovato -- used to be way more polished, but when he came to MTV for The Cab's Buzzworthy interview in March 2009, his broken-ended hair, fuzzy facial hair and leather accessories kinda made him look like he was running from the law. Bring back unquestionably hot Alex!

Ben Gibbard: Indie superstar Ben Gibbard's sensitive vocals are the perfect match for Zooey Deschanel. Zooey, dubbed "the rich man's Katy Perry" -- oh snap! -- by one site, has had leading roles in a slew of movies like Elf, where she showed off her vocal cords and her adorablility. Even though the oft-unshaven Ben's been featured on UglyMales.com (to the objection of many commenters, to be fair), he and Zooey matched up not only musically, but they're also engaged. Aww! Indie romance!

Joe Trohman: It's clear that Pete Wentz-ian man-glam is not Joe Trohman's style. But there are other ways to stand out besides looking like a homeless man who wandered off the street and onto the stage. His disheveled, mountain-man look has still been described as "wonderfully hobo-esque meets Jesus." True! We're not saying Joe's not hot. We just miss his From Under The Cork Tree-era/ "Dance Dance" short hair. Still, he nabbed a super-cute girl and put a ring on dat; he and Marie (above) are engaged.

+ More hobo guys and hot girls after the jump.

With the super-duper mega anticipated premiere of the Jonas Brothers' new Disney Channel TV show, JONAS, premiere barely 24 hours away, let's look at five ways you can celebrate the premiere of the JBs' very own TV show.

1.) Order SEVERAL pizzas! The idea here's twofold because pizzas are both delicious (doy!), AND, you can use them as play-along-at-home props for that pizza storyline. Just don't try to eat and sing "Pizza Girl" at the same time. Also, you get bonus points if you live in Miami and order from Jonas Pizza. Also-also, the Domino's Pizza Tracker pones. (No, Domino's didn't pay me to plug that. I KNOW from personal Panormous experience.)

2.) Make a JONAS milkshake! It's called the The JoBroChoco (That’s Just the Way They) Shake. Get the recipe, go shopping for ingredients, and watch the step-by-step video. Serves three! (Four if you make a little mini one for Frankie.)

3.) Leading Ladies: Know your JONAS girls! See why Buzzworthy loves (and envies) JONAS co-starlet Nicole Anderson. And, I think Chelsea Staub has a secret twin or an identity crisis.

4.) Know Your Lucases! In the Jonas show, Kevin, Joe, and Nick play guys named Kevin, Joe, and Nick, except their last name is Lucas, their BAND name is JONAS, and they LIVE on Jonas Street. So, other Lucases you should know are Lucas Grabeel, who was in High School Musical(s) and Milk, but you probably already know him. Lucas Cruikshank -- he's the real guy behind YouTube's Fred Figglehorn. (He also had a guest spot on iCarly -- remember the cabbages video?)... And Lucas Secon from "Lucas With the Lid Off." Oh yeah, Jessica Lucas, who's on the new Melrose Place. Oddly, she sorta looks like Nicole Anderson. Full circle, people!

5.) FRANKIE! Bonus Jonas in the HOUSE!... The firehouse! Frankie's going to be co-starring in JONAS, but the Jonas Brothers have freely admitted that Frankie basically steals the show. Do you think Nick is still Frankie's favorite brother? Check out this awww-dorable photo of Frankie and his big brothers at TRL last August if you need a little scoop of BoJo before the show.

... And there you have it -- the five ways I'm celebrating the premiere of JONAS. What kind of Jonas party are you throwing? Besides one that involves Jonas balloons, obviously...

Can we just pretend this song is about me for a second?

...

Thank you. Now, on to the truth. "Daniel," Bat For Lashes' latest fever dream, more than lives up to the promise of the band's ongoing desert hippie oeuvre. In fact, it knocks everything that came before it out cold.

Natasha Khan's British whisper has never come across so evocative. Listening to her voice, you'd swear you could touch it, sit down in it, like the way clouds look from an airplane.

And if that's not enough sweetness to sell you on the new Bat For Lashes, get this: The Daniel in question is Daniel LaRusso. That's right. The Karate Kid! Amazing. Khan writhes through the four-minute video meditation in a cut-off hoodie and leggings, reuniting in the end with the man of the hour in the same outfit, plus one famous headband.

But man, that Johan Renck (Madonna, The Knife) -directed video is just a side-note to this perfectly breathy head-trip. Bat For Lashes at their finest. Definitely don't miss "Daniel." And definitely sweep the leg. (Great joke, right? I know.)

+ Plus: Is Via Tania really Bat For Lashes?

I've been super into Via Tania lately: the Chicago-by-way-of-Australia singer-songwriter just released her second album, Moon Sweet Moon, and it's full of dreamy-yet-substantial, bliss-and-wonder-filled tracks -- "The Beginning" is an absolute gem -- with some guilt-free disco thrown in to marvelous effect. Fans of Kate Nash, Feist, and even Kerli, start downloading.

But, most interestingly, it's obvious that Via Tania (born Tania Bowers) has been visiting Natasha Khan's Bat For Lashes School of Beauty, right down to the feathers and penchant for primary colors.

+ Watch Via Tania's "Wonder Stranger" video, and find out more about Bat For Lashes' new album, Two Suns.

More two-of-a-kind action:
+ Blake Lewis & Secondhand Serenade
+ Christina Aguilera & Anna Faris
+ Savannah Outen & Lo Bosworth
+ Katy Perry & Zooey Deschanel (DUH! I called this back in SEPTEMBER, people!)
+ Alex DeLeon & Guy From Carolina Liar
+ Pete Wentz-15-Years-From-Now & Dean Cain

The twins HAVE EMERGED! Repeat: WE HAVE THE KAULITZ TWINS! The Tokio twins are alive and well and hanging out in Berlin, taking in a comedy show by Oliver Pocher. Bill's Sonic the Hedgehog hair has been replaced by more Tom-like twinsie black-and-white dreads, and his usually kohl-covered eyes have been replaced by a rust-colored eyeshadow. Mrow!

Check out tons more photos at iloveradio.de (especially helpful: functional knowledge of German) and the always-reliable Tokio Hotel America for a translation. (Thanks, guys!) And - JA! Tokio Hotel's planning a South American tour!

Anyway, my take on BK's new look: I love the shiny, sleek, slick look of Bill's new hair, and the new makeup colors he's experimenting with. It's a little less shocking (not that you guys are really shocked) and little more sophisticated. (Now HURRY UP AND FINISH UP THAT NEW ALBUM, DUDES!)

More importantly, your thoughts, bitte?

+ Plus: DANCE, TOKIO HOTEL, DANCE, und give Bill a makeover!

No disrespect to Nicole Anderson or anything, but we're pretty sure the 18-year-old actress just landed the Easiest Role Of All Time. After all, what ELSE would you call playing the Jo Bros' "#1 fan" on the upcoming Disney series, J.O.N.A.S.!?

Yep, Nicole -- who will (ahem) *pretend* to be head-over-heels in love with Nick, Joe and Kevin as "Superfan" Macy Misa -- joins fellow teenybopper Chelsea Staub on the list of People We Wish Were Us. But before you write the Disney Channel an angry letter complaining they picked the wrong gal, you might wanna take a quick look at her stellar credentials. See, unlike you, Nicole has:

+ Guest-starred on iCarly, Zoey 101 and Hannah Montana.

+ Mastered the are of looking (a) gorgeous, (b) sophisticated, and (c) photogenic in that totally relatable I'm-not-like-that-but-I-know-people-who-are sorta way. (See: photographic proof, above).

+ Proven that she can sit beside the Jonas Brothers without squealing/yelling/clawing uncontrollably. (See: photographic proof, below).

Also? Girl's a pigtail-loving vegetarian who does a wicked British/Middle Eastern/Southern accent -- and already has her (2028?) presidential campaign all planned out. (Overachiever, much??)

So feel free to hate on Nicole for stealing your dream role, but remember this: Disney picked her for a reason. That said, if any networks out there are ever in need of a wild-eyed/starstruck young girl to play the President Of Bill Kaulitz's Fan Club, have your people call our people ASAP.

If you're seeing double, you're not alone. Above, the freakishly similar (blond-haired, dimply-cheeked) faces of Brittany Murphy -- the girl from Clueless who dated Ashton Kutcher! -- and Chelsea Staub -- the Disney wunderkind who played the beeyotch in Bratz: The Movie. (Seriously, it's like looking into a mirror -- a really weird mirror that shows you pics of moderately famous people with nearly-identical pointy chins instead of yourself.)

'Course, in addition to looking uncannily alike, Britney and Chelsea also seem to share the acting bug. But while Brit's been staying under the radar since 2006's Happy Feet, 20-year-old Chelsea's on the verge of blowing up Demi Lovato/Selena Gomez style! Girl just landed herself the role of Stella Malone in the new Jonas Brothers' TV series J.O.N.A.S.! (Love the name, guys!)

Oh, and in case you weren't jealous enough of Chelsea already? The Phoenix native -- who also kinda looks like Ashley Tisdale-slash-Stacy Keibler? -- is rumored to have recently dated Joe Jonas. There's no solid proof, natch, but there IS solid circumstantial evidence (in the form of reports that the "couple" once "shared a bag of potato chips" and briefly held hands) which, if you ask us, is more than reason enough to hate her/wish you had her life.

Welcome to Hollywood, Chelsea. You'd better believe we'll be watching you...
