about this blog

  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

You want the truth, and unlike Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men (timely reference!), we here at Buzzworthy HQ feel like you can handle the truth. That's why we're putting Florida power-poppers Mayday Parade under the microscope and letting you ask the questions.

The boys are currently on the road, touring behind their Anywhere But Here album, but they're going to take some time out to answer so queries from you, the fans.

Leave your questions in the comments section below, and we'll try to ask Mayday Parade when they stop by!

OHHHH Joss Stone and Joko Winterscheidt! Totally blowin' up Tokio Hotel's SPOT with the pyrotechnics and stuff! Maybe the fire in their "World Behind My Wall" performance was supposed to be a S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E, mkay? Anyway, enjoy this video of Tokio Hotel on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Europe Awards in Berlin. Plus, enjoy the fun potent Tokio quotables such as:

+ Bill Kaulitz saying, "We just know some words from our school time." (Tee!)

+ Tom Kaulitz, who says that Tokio has been doing "a lot of dirty interesting and you know, nasty things."

+ "We are old-school." -- Bill Kaulitz... Granted, five seconds later, Tokio Hotel joined Twitter, so you never can tell!

+ Plus: Watch the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards on demand, watch every MTV EMA performance, and check out more red carpet interviews.

In this new Discover & Download interview, the enigmatic Minneapolis emcee/producer/singer/multi-instrumentalist P.O.S. talks about evolution.

In the clip, P.O.S. talks about the various meanings his stage name has had over the years, from "Pissed Off Stef" in his adolescence to "Promise Of Skill" in his emcee days. He also goes into detail about his varying levels of skill on various instruments, including drums, keys, bass, and even tuba (!!!).

You'll also find out about the evolution of the Minneapolis sound (from Prince to Atmosphere), the evolution of his Discover & Download track, "Never Better" (which he calls his "favorite song" he's ever written and which you can check out below).

There have been many huge guests on It's On With Alexa Chung, but possibly no one as internationally massive, iconic, or sought-after as the inimitable Lady Gaga who appeared live on It's On With Alexa Chung on MTV today.

Missed the show? Watch Lady Gaga discuss her upcoming "Bad Romance" video, guesting on Beyonce's upcoming "Video Phone (Extended Remix)" video, her upcoming The Fame Monster release and all of its amazing collectible contents, and see why Lady Gaga doesn't think she's "made it." Seriously. Plus, see what Lady Gaga has to say about Miley Cyrus, what she thinks of the red no-pants outfit she wore on TRL, what she likes to eat late at night, the Hitchcock references in "Bad Romance," and how she's liberating her fans -- her "little monsters" -- though her music.

The cast of Glee was here at MTV today (!!!!!!IDIE!!!!) on It's On With Alexa Chung, and as soon as they were done playing musical chairs, I had the MOST! FUN! EVAR! interviewing them. The interview is coming soon -- seriously, we fit a clown car's worth of people into a tiny photo studio and ended up covering Ped Eggs, Oprah, the Dreamgirls soundtrack, and the Full House theme song... and the Glee soundtrack, of course! -- but until then, check out a few photos of  Mark Salling, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, Kevin McHale, Dianna Agron, Amber Riley (Amber liked my shoes! We had a moment! OMGLEE!) and Jenna Ushkowitz.

And after the jump, watch the Glee cast on It's On With Alexa Chung, and check out a few drawings that a few of the Glee kids made for me, and see if you can match up the drawing to the cast member who drew it. Your choices are:

Chris Colfer

Mark Salling

Say hello once again to Chromeo; the dazzling, sleek electro-pop duo of Dave1 and P-Thugg. In this episode of "The 5," Chromeo, (who've released two full-lengths and a mix compilation for the DJ Kicks series) talk about some stuff... What stuff? That's the perfect question. It would appear that their love of quasi-ironic, ZZ-Top/"Legs"-referencing cover art is only matched by their dislike of domestic animals.

Chromeo also discusses the equal importance of Hall & Oates and Steely Dan, and the sartorial sensibilities of some of their favorite rappers.

Check out the brand-new MTV interview below, watch Chromeo's "Fancy Footwork" video, and listen to their latest single, "Night By Night" now.

Now that you've memorized every breathe and beat of Tokio Hotel's live performance of "Automatic" from It's On With Alexa Chung, it's time to take a look back at Tokio Hotel backstage in the It's On With Alexa Chung studios before their big U.S. debut performance of "Automatic." And, check out a few awesome Tokio Hotel fans who were lucky enough to TOUCH BILL KAULITZ AND catch Gustav's drumstick! (And stay tuned to watch Tokio Hotel answer your Buzzworthy Blog fan questions!)

And don't miss Tokio Hotel's live performance at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards this Thursday, November 5!

Bold, bright makeup looks -- like Lady Gaga's baby pink lipstick, the spring green eyeshadow Adam Lambert rocks on the cover of his For Your Entertainment album cover or the statement-making dramatic deep-dark makeup choices Rihanna makes -- are a fun way to play with color, especially as winter rolls in. But neon looks aren't always easy to achieve. So I called on Doe Deere (that's her above), who's a model, musician, and owner of makeup line Lime Crime.

Doe Deere's constructed an entire modern-day Rainbow Brite universe of unicorns, cupcakes, candy, and cats (not to mention science!) So she's just the perfect person to show you how to properly apply crazy-bright, highly pigmented fluorescent lipsticks and shadows to get the perfect Gaga/ Lambert/ Rihanna/ pick your popstar look.

In this MTV News interview with Demi Lovato, Demi recounts the moment in history when the now-solo but not-broken-up Nick Jonas first told her that his rhymes were so fly and his jeans were so tight and that he wanted her to sing the hook on the Jonas Brothers'  rap parody "Bounce." (Not to be confused with The Cab's "Bounce.")

But there's something far more urgent that needs to be discussed here: it looks like Demi's copped the super deluxe version of The Fame: Monster! No, Demi is not rocking one of Lady Gaga's blond locks (yet), but Lovato is GOING HARD in one of those sparkling hoodie things (a staple of Gaga's look). And Demi went ultra metallic at the 2009 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and at the UK premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie. And this past week, Demi Lovato showed up to Disney's 2nd Annual Concert For Hope in a gold-and-black metallic top that hearkened back to Lady Gaga's VMA red carpet dress. (Minus the neck brace.)

The Demi interview took place on the set of her "Remember December" video. I'll be rather curious to see if that clip features any walker and crutches-aided choreography.

This week we found out how the Tokio twins dealt with school sucking and what Bill Kaulitz smells like. But I still had unanswered questions! I wanted to arrive at the intersection of Tokio Hotel and philosophy. And I was curious as to whether Tokio Hotel lived by any official motto or creed, like "Be awesome" or "Stay gold, Billy boy." So I asked them.

Turns out, no. Tokio Hotel makes the rules up as they go along, and the only rules are there are no rules. Well, that's basically what they said. More accurately, Bill and Tom Kaulitz, who are really good at giving advice, don't like getting advice. But what they do like is a little break. And a little nap near the ocean.

Check out part five of Buzzworthy's Tokio Hotel interview, and stay tuned to watch Tokio Hotel answer your Buzzworthy fan questions!
