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.

We're not sure whether Jason Mraz's "Lucky" -- directed by Darren Doane, who also shot Jason's "I'm Yours" video -- is a music video or an ad for that new ck one V2.0. We're also not sure we care. The song, a pretty duet with the breathy, sunkissed Colbie Caillat, may be short, sweet and a bit on the hokey side, but trust us when we tell you the cinematography's no joke.

Get a taste of the good life by watching Jason Mraz (and by the way, nice to see Jason looking way more Chuck Bass than guy-from-Spin Doctors!) pound Prague's picturesque pavement while his one and only leaves wet, sandy footprints somewhere off the coast of paradise. Oh, to be warm and in love ...

Ever heard of Safetysuit? We're not sure where the name comes from (or what, exactly, it means) but around here, it's another word for "breakup music." That's cuz the angsty alt-rockers -- who hit harmonies like Last Goodnight and write hooks like Coldplay -- are simultaneously angry, soulful, gentle, passionate and loud. In other words? The perfect backdrop for any sit-down, stand-up, or door-slamming fight.

Which is precisely why the Tulsa, Oklahoma foursome has already seen FOUR songs off their 2008 release, Life Left to Go, show up on The Hills. (Presumably during the ep where LC and her pals sipped champagne at Crown Bar and got into some sort of intense, awkward-pause-filled staredown.)

Start your weekend off right by sampling "Someone Like You" -- Safetysuit's biggest hit to date -- then adding it to your "Wallowing In My Own Self-Pity" playlist for the next time you're feeling sadsies.

Everyone loves a good, old-fashioned Cinderella story. Girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy, girl lands major record deal and everyone lives happily ever after.

'Course, in real life, it doesn't always work out like that. And for Christina Milian, her picture-perfect life fell apart faster than you can say "Once upon a time." Turns out, the perfect boyfriend was cheating, the iron-clad contract with Def Jam Records was expendable, and the career of her dreams was nothing more than fairy dust.

Fortunately, this being the new millennium and all, Christina decided she wasn't ready to close the book on her musical career just yet. After a three-year absence (during which time she did some MAJOR soul-searching, found a new Prince Charming and got her ass back in the studio), Christina's just about ready to release her third album: Dream in Color.

So join us in welcoming the drop-dead gorge singer-slash-actress back to the scene, and wish her lotsa luck with her new LP (set to drop in April of '09). She may not have a magic wand-toting fairy godmother by her side, but she's got something even better: glowy skin, perfect cheekbones and a crapload of determination.

Oh, and we're thinking that sure-to-blow track featuring professional hitman Kanye West doesn't hurt, either.

+ Have you been missing Christina Milian like candy? Relive the sugary sweetness of her chocolicious hit single, "Dip it Low." Bottoms (WAY!) up, after the jump.

+ Amy Winehouse has been offered a part in a major motion picture! Supposedly, she'll be playing a teacher at a "problem school" (just like Michelle Pfeiffer, in Dangerous Minds). Weird. We thought she was a shoo-in for Illiterate Drug Dealer #3! (The Sun - UK)

Fact: Even if you already discovered (and downloaded!) "Losin' It," memorized every single, solitary word and currently drive around with a faded R. City bumper sticker on the back of your car (which, FYI, you painted yellow, red, blue and green for the colors of the Virgin Islands flag), we're guessing there are at least three, four, or maybe even five (!) things you still don't know about the video.

And since we want nothing more than to help you boost your R. City IQ, we're hitting you with an exclusive interview with Theron and Timothy themselves.

Check it, feel the brotherly love and find out everything from the location of Hot Girl U.S.A. (Atlanta, baby!) the truth about those on-again, off-again accents and why sometimes, being stubborn TOTALLY pays off.

+ Keep ridin' that R. City high by watching the full video for "Losin' It," after the jump.

Remember the 80's? We don't! -- You know, what with being practically in utero and all.  Fortunately, thanks to VH1 and their decade-centric nostalgia, we have developed a fine (if slightly belated) appreciation for all things Madonna/Debbie Gibson/Tiffany-related. (Not to mention neon leggings, micro-minis, and the movie Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.)

And while some fads are better left in the past (take, for example, shoulder pads) we were happy to see that some of our fave '80s trends live on in curly-haired bubble gum popper, Kimberly Cole.

Hmm, doesn't ring a bell? Well, the retro-chic chanteuse (she looks a bit like Nicole Scherzinger, minus about 10 pounds of foundation) recently popped up on our radar when she opened for Katy Perry. And she pairs hot stage moves with simple dance beats and dare-you-not-to-sing-along harmonies. The result? A sound that's part '80s (think old-school Madonna), part '90s girlie-pop (think: Willa Ford, "I Wanna Be Bad") and part right-frickin'-now (think "Womanizer.")

Get a feel for Cole's style by checking out her MySpace page -- and keep your eyes peeled for her Superstar EP, which drops January 27. And while you're at it, you might wanna take a look at her one-of-a-kind choreography. Nope, you're not seeing things -- girl's bumping and grinding like Xtina during her "Dirrty" years -- and she's doing it ON ROLLER SKATES.

And you thought you were coordinated cause you made J.V. volleyball...
