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.
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:
You were probably too busy gaping at the legion of Lady Gaga lookalikes -- including bloody VMA Gaga! to notice, but here's what Alexa Chung wore on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.
If your look's more Alexa than Gaga, check out this gorgeous 3.1 Phillip Lim scarf-tie-front blouse with delicate embellishment. I'm pretty sure this is how you spell de-lovely. It's $274 at Yoox.com.
In this episode of MTV's most intellectually provocative, sophisticated cartoon series ever, both Beavis and Butt-Head make their way through a Halloween night, overdoing it on candy, turning into sugar-fueled maniacs, and generally causing panic on their suburban streets and in their own central nervous systems. Enjoy this blast from MTV's past and remember, don't ever do what they do, mkaaay?
You're all familiar with the MTV show "My Super Sweet 16," yes? Well how about the ghoulish, horror-themed Halloween spin-off movie, titled, "My Super Psycho Sweet 16"?
It actually premieres tonight, Friday, October 23 at 10pm ET/PT and the premise is simple:
Madison Penrose (Julianna Guill) gets everything she wants, including her wish to re-open the desolate Rollerdome for her sweet sixteen bash. Rollerdome is the site of several grisly murders a decade earlier, and things become "psycho" when the killer returns to crash her party. This fairytale Sweet 16 is going to get ugly, so consider yourself warned!
Alexa Chung had an exclusive clip from the movie yesterday on "It's On With Alexa Chung," and says the clip, "really freaked her out" because she, "hates horror movies." Why? Watch the clip to find out, but here's a hint: maybe it's a nasty head-chopping experience that turned her off the genre. You can also see the trailer below and we have lots more; cast photos, exclusive stills from the "My Super Psycho Sweet 16" movie and interviews with the cast from the red carpet premiere. Bands like AFI, DenaliThrice and more are included in the film's soundtrack too. You really shouldn't miss out. Check out all the extra goodies we have on "My Super Psycho Sweet 16" and don't forget to tune in tonight.
Any day Paramore's on MTV is a good day. So today was a GREAT day with all of Paramore on Alexa's couch, along with a sorta-shy Shakira and a nod to Kurt Cobain on Alexa's tee. Here's what Alexa wore today on It's On With Alexa Chung.
And get the Shepard Fairey-designed t-shirt Alexa wore at the end of today's show at Karmaloop.com. It's $24, and it's a design and charity collaboration between Karmaloop and MTV's Staying Alive Foundation. Forty percent of the proceeds go towards The Staying Alive Foundation -- Travis McCoy is the foundation's ambassador -- to fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
Could you ask for a better performance from Tokio Hotel than the live version of "Automatic" from today's episode ofIt's On With Alexa Chung on MTV? Well, maybe a full-length Tokio Hotel show, but a live Tokio Hotel performance is a close second. And you fans in the Alexa audience were so hardcore you almost stopped the show! Bam! HUUUUGE!
It's been a veritable monsoon of MTV/ Tokio Hotel love since Tokio Hotel stepped into the building today around 11:30! They soundchecked for their live performance of "Automatic" onIt's On With Alexa Chung, which practically stopped the show, I interviewed them for MTV Buzzworthy Blog AND asked them your MTV Buzzworthy Blog fan questions, I rode a very crowded elevator with Tokio while fans poured into the MTV studios, shrieking and crying, AND yet, in the midst of chaos, Bill and Tom Kaulitz still found time to engage in one of their favorite activities -- playing ping pong.
Check out this video of of Bill and Tom engaging in a heated ping pong match backstage before It's On With Alexa Chung. And stay tuned for tons more Tokio Hotel Buzzworthy interviews, Tokio Hotel photos, and the full-length performance from It's On With Alexa Chung.
Theft -- the name of multi-instrumentalist/songwriter Matt McCartie's musical project -- is perhaps an homage to the epic rock echoings of his Brit-rock influences.
After kicking around in bands for a while, McCartie decided to go it alone, building his own recording studio and recording all the parts for Theft's songs. Not that you'd know it listening to songs like, "Fireworks Explode" and "Never Be The Same," which could easily be mistaken for the British sounds of Coldplay's lilting heart, The Verve's epic sweep, and Oasis' raw edge.
Even if you're new to Theft you might've heard McCartie's music already. His song, "Breathing Underwater" is the theme song to the late DJ AM's new MTV show, Gone Too Far, which examines the devastating effects of drug addiction and offering hope to those willing to accept the opportunity to change their lives. His the Theft song, "Fireworks Explode," became the theme song to season 1 of It's On With Alexa Chung.
