Lady Gaga, in an interview with Elle Magazine last December, spoke openly about looking forward to having kids -- Baby Gagas! -- one day. Then we saw these photos of Lady Gaga carrying a baby while she was out shopping, showing off her maternal/ Angelina Jolie instincts. The thought of Mama Gaga got us to thinking that she'd make a most excellent mom. And here are five reasons why we wanna see Lady Gaga rockin' the Baby Bjorn.

+ You could borrow her clothes.
Yeah, the Latex reindeer ensemble might be a bit much for eighth grade. But once you hit your couture phase, Mama's closet is gonna look like a treasure chest!

+ She would nurture your creativity.
I highly doubt that Lady Gaga would be the kind of mom who would insist you run off and become a lawyer, thus casting your dreams of becoming an interpretive dancer or video installation artist into the dustbin of what-could-have-been, while you slave away in Advanced Studies In Buying And Selling Stuff And Accounting For It 202. Gaga feels more like the nurturing, feel-free-to-finger-paint type of gal.

+ Auntie Beyonce and Uncle Elton!
After making two videos together (Bey's "Videophone" and Gaga's upcoming "Telephone") Beyonce and Gaga are practically sisters. Or at least cousins. Can you imagine being babysat by Beyonce? Be still my beating heart. And, ever since their GRAMMY-opening duet, Elton John and Gaga have been like two peas in a pod. How cool would it be to be sitting around the lunch table in third grade, "Oh yeah? You like The Lion King? THAT'S MY UNCLE ELTON! WHACHOO KNOW ABOUT THE CIRCLE OF LIFE?!"

+ You'd never have to wonder what your mom was like when she was younger!
This might actually go against you. You can't really yell at her about how she doesn't understand, how she was never different. Because she probably does understand and she was different. Any fight about your mom being a square who doesn't get you will probably end with her saying, "Mommy, once made a music video where she had alien eyes and sat in a bathtub nekkid." That's when you will have lost the argument.

+ You'd be well-fed.
Not to be stereotypical, but Gaga, like many Italian women, is a whiz in the kitchen. ""I come from an Italian family -- what more can I say? I love to cook. I am really good at Italian food. So I make great meatballs, pasta and all sorts. I love it," she told England's Daily Star. So you know you'd be all set in the home-cooked meal department.

Broken Bells is the new collaborative project between James Mercer, mastermind behind The Shins, and Danger Mouse, AKA the guy who made The Grey Album as well as one half of Gnarls Barkley.

Broken Bells' self-titled album, due out in March, promises a tantalizing combination of Mercer's innate feel for pop melody and Danger Mouse's mastery of all varieties of atmospherics and studio trickery.

Directed by Sophie Muller (Beyonce's "Deja Vu," Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody"), "High Road," is the first video (and single) to come from Broken Bells, and it is anything to go by, the project could be as compelling, visually, as it is sonically.

Whether you think Muller's "High Road" vid is a subtle nod to French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard's legendary traffic sequence from Weekend (what up, film school!) or just a literal rendering of the song's haunting, imagery-heavy lyrics, it's a humdinger just the same.

In "High Road," Mercer and Danger Mouse walk a not-so lonely road, full of crashed cars, abandoned kids, firemen and a horse (!), much like the experiences of the song's narrator.

Broken Bells' self-titled album is due out March 9th.

Michelle Williams and her hair came out last night to the New York City launch of Beyonce's new perfume, "Beyonce Heat." And back to that hair. Michelle Williams has either been listening to A LOT of Grace Jones (fine by me), or she's been emulating Jersey Shore's resident DJ, Pauly D. (Also okay.)

What do you think of Michelle Williams' spiky, feathery new hair do? Is it "The Greatest," or is Michelle's 'do  more of a "No No No" situation?

+ Fall Out Boy is really done. So much drama in the F.O.B.. Yesterday we told you about Pete Wentz's none-too-cryptic Twitter kiss-off. Today, we have Patrick Stump declaring, "I'm not in Fall Out Boy right now." Well, at least he said, "right now," right? Fingers crossed, kids. (Spin)

+ We speculated a while back that, given his newly declared interest in acting, Joe Jonas would make a good Ferris Bueller (if and when the '80s high school classic gets remade). Well, we'll have to wait to see him driving Cameron's dad's Ferrari, but we can see him on the ABC melodrama Brothers & Sisters. He will play a younger version of Balthazar Getty's troubled Tommy Walker in a series of flashbacks. (MTV News)

+ In other Jonas Brothers news, it seems Nick Jonas got rather inspired by the GRAMMY Awards on Sunday night. So inspired that he went right home and wrote some songs. Only problem is those songs are Beyonce's "Halo," and Lady Gaga's "Poker Face." Jordin Sparks and brother Joe have to deliver the hard truth in this funny viral vid. (Idolator).

+ Guys, did you know that sometimes Lady Gaga does things just to get a reaction from people. I know! Also, I heard that water is wet. Jokes. Apparently Gaga knew exactly how flabbergasted, offended and flummoxed folks would be upon viewing her open-front Armani "hoop" dress. (E! Online)

+ Two things that were keeping me up at night last night: 1. What is going on with Lost and 2. What does Rihanna think of Ke$ha. As someone who has had the same sort of breakneck rise to the top, who has been the "it" girl, for lack of a better term, what does Ri-Ri think of the new kid in town? Well she told DJ Skee at Kiss100 all about it. I'm still in the dark about Lost, FYI. (That Grape Juice)

+ Whoa, Usher's ex, Tameka Foster, really didn't like his E! True Hollywood Story. And what do we do when we don't like something, class? That's right! We Tweet about it! (Crunk + Disorderly)

When you listen to Beyonce's "Halo" -- the patented Ryan Tedder melody, the beat collapsing on itself, Bey's increasingly dramatic delivery -- you probably don't think to yourself, "This is pretty good, but what it really needs is some gruff, grimy dancehall toasting from Jamaican music legend Elephant Man."

If you did think that, well, you're probably Diplo. The chief genre blender/producer/superstar DJ/half of Major Lazer, spent most of his GRAMMY night on Sunday sending out tweets that varied in their levels of veracity from probable to patently false (having a hard time believing M.I.A., Susan Boyle, and Perez Hilton were partying in the same space).

One that turned out to be at least half true was this: "SERIOUSLY CANT BELIEVE beyonce won a GraNNY when My VErSiOn of HaLo with elefant man + @majorlazer is SoOO MUCH BETTER!"

Spelling, caps and grammar aside, Diplo wasn't joshing about the existence of his Elephant Man-aided version of "Halo." Whether it's better than Beyonce's original? Only you and time will tell.

Check out Major Lazer's version of "Halo," featuring Elephant Man as well as the video for Beyonce's original and her "Halo" performance at the Hope For Haiti Now benefit.

+ Listen to Major Lazer featuring Elephant Man, "Halo," here.

It's the most anticipated sequel since Empire Strikes Back or Star Trek II: Wrath Of Khan or when the McRib returned in 2007. It's Lady Gaga and Beyonce, back again, with the video for Gaga's "Telephone."

The last time these two shared a music video, with Bey's "Video Phone," the result was a Hype Williams-helmed monster full of Tarantino references and style for days.

This time around, Gaga's go-to director Jonas Akerlund (who directed "Paparazzi" as well as videos for Madonna, Metallica and blink-182) will be behind the camera, as the heavyweight champs of pop reunite for round two.

According to MTV News, Gaga purposely tried to take a backseat in "Video Phone," deferring to Beyonce and Williams and playing the supporting role as Bey rocked a Bettie Page 'do and played with guns. For "Telephone," Gaga will likely be front and center, "rocking frilly leotards" and "destroyed denim," from designers Franc Fernandez and Oscar Olima.

More tidbits about Gaga and Beyonce's "Telephone" video: "Telephone" will apparently continue the Tarantino-homage, as Beyonce and Gaga have been snapped filming the video in a yellow truck not unlike Uma Thurman's whip in Kill Bill. Also, Tyrese is rumored to be making an appearance.

You can check out photos of Gaga and Beyonce on the video set at PopShelter. And in the meantime, take another look at the "Video Phone" video below.

Last night's GRAMMY Awards were full of so many shocking, textworthy, OMG moments, I thought my thumbs were gonna fall off: Lady Gaga going down the bad egg chute, Willy Wonka style, Pink's water shower strip tease, Beyonce getting suh-eeeriously nasty, and whatever was happening there with Jamie Foxx.

From the moments you need to see again -- Katy Perry's side boob! -- to the ones you may have missed -- Britney's see-through dress! Justin Bieber and Beyonce -- here are the 10 most shocking GRAMMY moments in photos!

1.) KATY PERRY SIDE BOOB! Repeat... KATY PERRY! SIDEBOOB! Thanks to Zac Posen, the miracles of double-sided tape, and a sliding scale of modesty, Katy Perry gave her fans a little peekaboo surprise. She probably also made some new fans. You're welcome.

2.) BRITNEY'S RELATIVELY PANTS-FREE OUTFIT! Britney Spears DID attend the GRAMMYs. Though she made an understated entrance on the red carpet, her outfit was anything but. Perhaps in an homage to "Pants On The Ground," Britney's black see-through Dolce & Gabbana looked like it was missing a bottom half but ACTUALLY had a quite "demure" knee-length skirt, thank you very much. (Still, any outfit that demands a bikini wax means you're basically not wearing pants.)

3.) BEYONCE ADOPTED JUSTIN BIEBER! #okaynotreally

4.) CELINE DION PROPOSED TO LADY GAGA! She said yes! #thatalsodidnotreallyhappen

5.) JAMIE FOXX DRESSED UP LIKE SHREK. Or the cat from Shrek. Take your pick.

+ Last night was, of course, Grammy night. And MTV News has you covered on all the biggest stories; from the headline making news like Beyonce's and Taylor Swfit's triumphs to the memorable moments like Jamie Foxx's AutoTune mea-culpa to Jay-Z. (MTV News)

+ The night was full of extravagant, dramatic performances that seemed to signal an embracing of theatrical flair from some of pop's biggest names. Check out all the night's amazing live turns from the likes of Lady Gaga, Green Day, Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Pink and more. (Idolator)

+ The collective fashion statement made by the women of Grammy night? Nude, dude. Katy Perry, Keri Hilson and Beyonce all wore fleshtones/nude-colored attire. Could they be studying Amber Rose's playbook? (E! Online)

+ But as with any fashion statement, some spoke louder than others. Ladies and gentleman, Cirque Du Pink, in the flesh. (Seriously? OMG! WTF?)

+ Every year, one of the highlights of the Grammy Awards takes place the night before the actual ceremony, at legendary music mogul Clive Davis' annual pre-Grammy celebration. It usually features once-in-a-lifetime live collaborations from some of pop's brightest stars. And this year didn't disappoint; Jennifer Hudson serenaded Barbra Streisand while Guns 'N Roses' Slash paired with Black Eyed Peas' Fergie for a rendition of "Sweet Child O' Mine." (Rolling Stone)

+ Speaking of collaborations, we can only hope that the chance meeting of Katy Perry and everyone's favorite Jersey Shore heronine, Snooki, is the beginning of a beautiful friendship (Pop Eater)

+ Yesterday we mentioned that Quincy Jones was corralling the likes of Bieber, Cyrus and Will Smith for a "We Are The World" re-make to aid Haitian relief efforts. Not to be outdone, Simon Cowell is putting together his own all-star Haiti benefit single, "Everybody Hurts," (yes, R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts"...see bottom of post to refresh your memory) reportedly featuring Susan Boyle, Mariah Carey and Jon Bon Jovi. (Spinner)

+ Whatever Jay-Z does, Beyonce can do as well. A couple of years after Hova made a milestone appearance on 60 Minutes (remember him showing Steve Kroft how to "flow"?), Bey will go under the venerated television news magazine's spotlight this Sunday. It airs right before the Grammy Awards. Check out a snippet. (Concrete Loop)

+ Speaking of the Grammy Awards, don't go into your Grammy pool unprepared: let Pink and ?uestlove of The Roots handicap the nominees for you. (Rolling Stone)

+ Tired of waiting to hear Erykah Badu's much-anticipated new album, New Amerykah Pt. II? Well, today might be your lucky day. Badu has hinted on Twitter that she might leak/stream/preview some music on her site this afternoon. (Sound of the City)

+ Keri Hilson went on the Rachael Ray Show yesterday and played an acoustic version of "Knock You Down." More importantly, she showed the world her wild juggling skills! (Rap-Up)

+ With Fall Out Boy on an indefinite break, what better time for Patrick Stump to redesign his website, put up an esoteric Anais Nin quote and, oh yeah, prep a solo album, on which he will write, produce and perform all the music! (MTV News)

This past Friday night, MTV's Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief helped raise over $58 million dollars for the people of Haiti, and the star-studded event sent a new record for donations made by the general public during a disaster-relief telethon, and the "Hope for Haiti Now" album became the biggest one-day album pre-order in iTunes history.

The evening wasn't about promoting vanity projects, red carpet fashions, or Hollywood heartthrobs. It was about putting aside the fact that our country is in need and giving to those whose need is so great that ours pales in comparison.

And the Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief was about the power of music -- from Justin Timberlake's cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" to Stevie Wonder's "Bridge Over Troubled Water," to Bono, The Edge, Jay-Z and Rihanna's brand-new song, "Stranded -- Haiti Mon Amour," and, of course, Wyclef Jean's "Rivers of Babylon"/"Yele" medley -- to unite and bring us hope.

Watch all of the Hope For Haiti Now: A Global Benefit For Earthquake Relief performances below. Plus, pre-order the Hope for Haiti Now full-performance album for just $7.99 on iTunes. And please, donate.
