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.

Hallelujah and praise Beysus! The 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards just went down, and Beyonce ruled the night, sweeping up three awards -- Best Video for "Single Ladies," Best Female, and Best Song for "Halo." In a rare nod to her real-life love, Beyonce thanked her husband Jay-Z for putting a ring on it, and then Valentine's Day came early when she performed a red, romantic rendition of "Sweet Dreams."

Tokio Hotel landed on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards looking like a league of extraordinary gentlemen, Bill Kaulitz told Joss Stone they're "old-school" about technology, Tokio then absolutely NAILED an awe-inspiring, heart-in-your-throat live performance of "World Behind My Wall," and then, symbolizing the fall of the Berlin Wall, set fire to the wall behind them, and picked up the EMA for Best Group. Willkommen home, boys!

Katy Perry rode a shoe, wore a dress that may or may not have been attacked by giant mice (or moths), and a bustier that looked see-through. And it's not even midnight. Check out all of 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards host Katy Perry's outrageously awesome outfits from the show, from her gorgeous floral red carpet gown by Marchesa, to her West Ham onesie, her nearly naked flesh-toned bustier, her cabaret costume and more examples of Katy Perry in tulle go so wrong it's so right.

You can't be cool all your life. Take it from someone who knows. I may seem like a young Paul Newman now, but there was a time when I was not such a paragon of coolness. My high school yearbook picture features me, with my arms up in the air at Epcot Center wearing Skidz.
So I can identify with Justin Timberlake. My man has had some fashion disasters and some bad hair days. Look, nobody can be in the public eye that long and not screw up from time to time. But that's not gonna stop me from calling him out on some of his hairstyle choices, as highlighted on this Justin Timberlake fan forum.
So many things wrong here: the pirate-hoop-earring, the curly fro, the curly fro with the frosted tips (FROSTED TIPS), and last (but very, very much least) THE R. KELLY/ TOM KAULITZ CORNROWS. And other old-school looks at Justin Timberlake.
Let us bow our heads, and pray that those days never come to pass again (or that Jessica Biel never sees these photos).

Hey, Tegan & Sara, we love you. We love the ornate vocal harmonies and angular melodies on your awesome new album, Sainthood. We love the singing you did on that lush techno joint you did with Tiesto ("I Feel It In My Bones"). But for rillz... these new MTV pics? You're killing us.
Stop being so damn adorable. It's not fair. It looks like you walked off the cover of a Belle & Sebastian album cover, for heaven's sakes. Give us all a break! Be less awesome!

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
Dianna Agron

The Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards are a celebration of those who raise awareness of the accessories industry. You know who raises awareness of the accessories industry? Lady Gaga. That's who. Which is why Gaga received a Stylemaker award at last night's awards.
Gaga's basically a walking accessory display, when you think about it. It's just what she chooses to call an accessory -- blood? -- that makes people do double and triple-takes.
Check out Gaga's juxtaposition of wig and lace veil (as well has her patented underwear-as-outerwear move -- those undies are Marc Jacobs, bty the way) in these photos from the ACE Awards. The girl can't help it.
