+ While u were all busy eating turkey, and fighting with your famz for the wii controller, Britney Spears had a pretty Brit-tabulous holiday weekend: She started off the action on Thursday with a kickass performance at the Bambi Awards in Germany; on Saturday night she performed on the hit British show X Factor (beating all previous ratings records); and she capped off the weekend with her much-anticipated Britney: For the Record MTV special along with a sneak peek of the upcoming video for her "Circus" single. Oh, and she had an early birthday celebration in London before her big b-day event on Tuesday with Good Morning America. I for one am *very* thankful for all of this Britney Spears fabulosity (and I need a nap now). (MTV Newsroom)

+ Madonna-n-A Rod sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G ... or at least, enjoying a nice tall glass of holy Kaballah water. After rumors of his Thanksgiving plans hit the interwebs last week, A Rod did indeed show up front-row-and-center to Madge's concert last Wednesday eve. He even passed her a bottle of water mid-show. Awww. (Evil Beet )

+ Diddy dyes ... uhm, down *there*. (The Superficial)

+ Goodbye innocent childhood, hello Goth Punk Barbie. (Idolator)

+ Pharrell and Shakira R maybe/probably making some beautiful music together. The two were spotted in the studio recently and are reportedly at work on Shakira's sixth album. We've got no "Objection" to that. (Rap-Up)

+ Looks like Miley Cyrus is hoping to reach beyond the limitations of her pesky iPhone camera and study photography for realzies. In London! With her bra and undies on! (Perez Hilton)

+ Whitney Houston to World: Me and Bobby Brown back together again? Hell-to-the-no . (Yahoo)

+ Alicia Keys, John Legend and Christina Aguilera were among the many celebs who performed at CNN's Heroes Awards. (Huffington Post)

+ I could have sworn Chris Martin from Coldplay was super cute. After reading this interview all I can say is: my bad. (The Times)

Dear Kanye West,

It's obvious you're a man who truly knows his trends:

+ You're one of the first celebs to jump onto the blogging bandwagon (and you've officially jumped HARD dude, with 10+ updates a day!).
+ You love your art, and have collaborated with Japanese, pop artist Takashi Murakami.
+ Last year you brought the whole '80s, future/retro/Devo thing back with those shutter shades you sported in your "Stronger" vid.
+ You're often spotted wearing "secret sneaks" that: nobody has, everyone wants, and we all have zero clue where to buy.

So, your trend cred is fully established and IN tact.

However, you've thrown us all for a bit of loopty-loop with your latest ode to your new muse: Pee Wee Herman(!?).

(Yes, we mean THE Pee Wee, people).

You seem to be channeling PW in a big way, Yeez and we're not the only ones who've noticed. We don't want to get all "I know you are, but what am I" with you, but your look above is def borrowing heavily from Pee Wee's. I mean, you kinda look like you arrived straight from the Playhouse.

So, I guess for those of us who are keeping tabs, nerd chic is the next wave, huh?

Wow.

OK.

I guess we can dig it (?)

Love,
Buzzworthy

Miley dearest,

Errryone here at Buzzworthy wishes you a very happy belated l'il birthday! Here's hoping your sweet sixteenth year is filled with:

+ Moar saxxxy mini-Joan Jett live performances, please!

+ Minimal return trips to the tat parlor, even if you're only watching. And making out.

+ No more Sidekick/YouTube hackers -- Keep 'em on lock!

+ More Hannah Montana bath products. Cleanliness is godliness!

+ No more semi-nude photos -- Annie Leibovitz, don't call us, we'll call you.

+ MORE answers to our questions. Because we have SO many questions.

+ Ooh, a country album ... just like your poppa, Billy Ray! Or your godmother, Dolly Parton.

+ No suggestively shaped candy at any of your concerts. (Swedish fish, maybe, next time?)

+ A dance-off to rival your M+M Cru/ACDC challenge. Plz?

+ A best-selling autobiography and requisite tell-all promo spot on Oprah!

+ A blockbuster box office take for your upcoming Hannah Montana movie.

+ Lots of TLF, church-goin' moments with Justin Gaston. Swooon and amen.

+ Britney Spears is joining the circus! (no jokes here, folks...nope, nothin' to see). To celebrate the release of her upcoming album, Circus, Briters is staging her very own fan circus at the Virgin Megastore in Times Square on December 1. Diehard fanzies can sing, dance, or wrestle lions in order to prove their unwavering devotion to the pop diva. Can anyone say greatest show on Earth? (MTV News)

+ Beyonce is such a diva, just FYI. On Saturday, Mrs. Carter-Fierce shot the second video for her next release, "Diva" off of her I Am...Sasha Fierce album. Sadly, Justin Timberlake will not be appearing as a back-up dancer in this one. Alas! (Rap-Up)

+ Travis Barker won't be flyin' the friendly skies anytime soon, and who can blame him? The former blink-182 drummer is suing pretty much anyone and everyone involved in his September plane crash with DJ AM. 1-800-LAWYERS!!! (MTV News)

+ Ludacris and T-Pain rocked the house on SNL this weekend with two kick-ass performances. But holy hilariousness = their Blizzard Man sketch with Andy Samberg! (Hulu)

+ B-A-N-A-N-A-S! No Doubt is getting the band back together! After four long years, Gwen Stefani and the guys will hit the road on a world tour. (MTV News)

+ Kanye West's apartment is too nice to play rap music in. Know this. (Kanye Universe City)

+ Are Paris Hilton and Avril Lavigne besties now? They were holding hands on Saturday night at The Villa after party in Los Angeles. LYLAS much? (Gawker)

+ Someone made a picture of Eminem ... with, uhm, M&Ms. Big lulz. (Idolator)

Sooooo, there's a bit of controversy going on right now regarding Lady Gaga -- whose new video, "Poker Face," is futuro-freaky/ scary and not at all about Vegas -- and Christina Aguilera. We're not naming names, but it seems that SOME people think that Christina's new look borrows heavily from Lady Gaga's post-punk, Mad Max-meets-Xanadu electro-pop glam thing.

We're normally not ones to take sides, but now that this sitch is reaching a fever pitch, we here at Buzzworthy have just one question: CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG??

The solution is clearly: make love not war.

And so, herewith, are our top 5 reasons Christina and Gaga should obviously be besties:

5. Halvsies on make-up!  Not everyone can pull off peacock lashes and hot pink lipstick, but these ladies both know how to work it. Two electric blue mascaras are always better than one.

4. Remember when Christina AND Britney made out with Madonna? Of course you do! Grrl power is the name of the game. These two don't necessarily have to swap spit, but trust us: one night out on the town with Christina and Lady Gaga in matching high-cut leotards, and we're all gonna be talking about it foreva-eva.

3. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Everyone's already talking about Christina copying Lady Gaga, Gaga sounding like Gwen Stefani, so flip the script, girls, and give us all the story we all want. Collaborate on a song! Pull out something like "Lady Marmalade," part dos! Then say it was all part of your plan anyway.

2. You both have really hard names to spell: S-t-e-f-a-n-i G-e-r-m-a-n-o-t-t-a and Christina A-g-u-i-l-e-r-a. But just THINK of the possibilities of an Us Magification name mash-up: Christinagaga! Ladiguilera! And stuff...

1. Feuding is so 2007. Even Rachel Zoe and Nicole Richie made up for the sake of the children!

Love to love you, ladiez. (Except you, Rachel Zoe.)

Dear Miley Cyrus' Hackers,

Oy.

First you bust into Miley's Sidekick (those shower pix were SUPPOSED to be for Nick Jonas' eyez ONLY!), and now last weekend ur gettin' all haxx0rD with her Miley and Mandy YouTube page?

You guys need a new hobby... for realsies.

I mean, it's obviously no easy task being an international tween superstar, competing in dance-offs, and entertaining the first children (or not?). Now Miley's gotta keep all her laptops, cell phones, and BlackBerries and such under lock and key? Why you gotta keep gettin' all up in Miley's personal biznass and other semi-private pursuits?

Sheesh.

I was pondering just this little mindbender when I realized -- oh, snap! -- Tom Petty has sooo already covered this ground!

Holy. Vintage. Video: Tom totally sums up the why-me sentiment best with "You Don't Know How It Feels." Also, dude won a Best Male Rock Performance Grammy for this jammy back in 1995 (when Miley was just 3!), so clearly I'm not the only one who foresaw its relevance to Miley's life.

Anyway, hackers: listen up. Put yourself in Miley's ballet flats because this one's 4 u. (Als0, y0u suck).

xoxo,
Buzzworthy
