Bill Kaulitz is usually the subject of style scrutiny or under the spotlight on the catwalk -- he just walked the runway in Dsquared's Milan fashion show this week, and Bill and Tom were both on the cover of German GQ. But the men of Tokio Hotel have plenty of views you can use when it comes to fashion. Check out this exclusive interview with Tokio Hotel from our friends at Teen.com. They asked Tokio Hotel to weigh in on celebrity hits and misses. And what's a Tokio Hotel interview without reference to David Hasselhoff? Blame it on Tom, natch.

Bill Kaulitz fans already know that every time the Tokio Hotel lead singer steps out in public it's a fashion show. But this morning, Bill Kaulitz finally starred in a real fashion show, walking the runway like a pro in Dsquared's fashion show in Milan. While I wasn't there personally, I can safely assume that Bill Kaulitz needed no training -- dressed in a feathered cape and leather pants like the born-again dark angel of rock, Bill Kaulitz took the stage via an elevator, tuh-WERKED it, and fully upstaged a team of medieval hockey players and models in hot pink pleather Oxford shirts.

Do I even need to point out the cuteness of Bill Kaulitz walking a fashion show by twin designers (DSquared is named for twins Dean and Dan Caten)? Or the you've-made-it-ness of coverage in Women's Wear Daily? I don't, right?

Check out more photos of Bill Kaulitz in the Dsquared show in Milan, and check out Bill and Tom Kaulitz on the cover of the style issue of German GQ. And watch Bill discuss the possibility of a fashion line in this Buzzworthy Blog interview.

The track list for the highly anticipated soundtrack to Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland 3D remake (save your glasses from Avatar!), starring Johnny Depp, was announced today, and OMB(ill!) Tokio Hotel and Kerli are collaborating on the song, "Strange."

The soundtrack, entitled Almost Alice, hits stores March 2, while Alice In Wonderland is out March 5, at which point you'll experience the heretofore impossible-to-imagine simultaneous Tokio Hotel AND Johnny Depp pairing!

Anyway Tokio Hotel and Kerli's Alice In Wonderland collaboration rules, and here's why:

1.) Tokio Hotel and Kerli, who's from Estonia, bring some European flair to the soundtrack, which includes Avril Lavigne, All Time Low, Mark Hoppus and Pete Wentz, and Owl City.

2.) Though she's got a devoted fan base, Kerli's been under mainstream music's radar for too long, so inclusion in a major motion picture's soundtrack -- especially with the legacy of Alice In Wonderland -- could do wonders to advance her exposure here in the States. Of course, the same goes for Tokio Hotel, which is a great thing or cause for angered teeth gnashing, depending on which Tokio fan you ask.

3.) KERLI AND TOKIO HOTEL BOTH HAVE SONGS CALLED "LOVE IS DEAD." That's NO coincidence. Okay, it's actually totally a coincidence, but their songwriting sentiments often stem from the same place -- introspection, loss of love, and disenfranchisement.

4.) Kerli does amazing things with makeup, and so does Bill Kaulitz. (Obviously.)

5.) Both Kerli and Bill Kaulitz pretty much look like Alice In Wonderland and Tim Burton characters come to life. (Kerli = Alice, obviously, and Bill Kaulitz as the Mad (hot) Hatter.)

Check out the Almost Alice soundtrack track list, watch Kerli's very Alice In Wonderland "Walking On Air" video, watch the Alice In Wonderland trailer, and tell me what you think about Kerli and Tokio Hotel's Alice In Wonderland soundtrack collaboration.

Heads up! Bill and Tom Kaulitz are on the cover of the February 2010 issue of German GQ magazine, where Bill looks like the ringleader of Cirque de Sexy, and Tom looks like a straight-up Bawse. Now, clearly, if you're a Tokio Hotel fan you probably already know that that half of Tokio Hotel's on the cover. And you're probably not mad at it. But, see, this is why Wordpress and life need a "likes this" button. So we can all push it in unison and express our universal delight.

Tokio Hotel's GQ cover lines read "Now also for adults… Tokio Hotel. Why you should take these supertwins seriously from now on!" And a quote from the Kaulitz twins: "We are like one person with 4 ears…" Fair enough, but in case you miss Tokio Hotel's other four ears, watch their "World Behind My Wall" video. Yet again.

I've got good news and bad news. Bad news first: these are the last of Tokio Hotel's MTV Buzzworthy Blog fan interviews. The good news? You get TWO new videos!

In the first (of the last... for now!) Tokio Hotel Buzzworthy Blog fan Q&A videos, Tokio Hotel discusses their lack of enthusiasm for YouTube as well as their disinterest in re-watching Tokio Hotel performances. Plus, to coincide with Adam Lambert's Bill Kaulitz crush, the guys talk about Tokio Hotel's fan boys.

And, in this last Tokio Hotel Buzzworthy Blog fan Q&A, Tom talks about his blog, Bill talks about his acting aspirations -- he'd love to do Twilight, but a vampire or a junkie will do too -- hence my suggestion that Bill Kaulitz star in a remake of Christiane F. - Wir Kinder vom Bahnhof Zoo (again, sorry for my atrocious German!) -- Tom shouts out the movies he'd like to act in, and Bill summarizes the early days before Tokio Hotel: "I can't remember my life before Tokio Hotel."

Adam Lambert shocked the nation with his provocative American Music Awards performance of "For Your Entertainment," which featured falling, whips and reins, simulated sexy times, and dude kissing. So what many of you thought. OMFG others said, calling up ABC and the Parents Television Council, all like "OH NO! Guys kissing IRL! My TV's gonna EXPLODE!" Well, that's not necessarily what they said, but you get it.

Today Adam Lambert appeared on MTV's It's On With Alexa Chung and had this to say about his AMA performance: "I just got excited. I got a little carried away." When asked what he'd changed about his performance, he responded "not a damn thing." BAM! Adam Lambert basically tells the haters where they can stick it. Because dude is a total gangster.

Adam also touched upon his glam-rock style (recall, if you will his For Your Entertainment cover) and the famous guy he's into: BILL KAULITZ! Glambert said, and I quote, "You know who's so pretty to me? Bill Kaulitz from Tokio Hotel... I think he's pretty. I'm fascinated by him. I like the androgyny. It's fascinating to me."

Watch the glam unfurl in this clip from today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung. And watch Adam Lambert's brand-new "For Your Entertainment" video!

Let's hope so! Here's the Tokio Hotel frontman at the premiere of Arthur und die Minimoys 2 - Die Rueckkehr des Boesen M' (Arthur 2) -- he voiced the part of Arthur -- at Cinestar Sony Center movie theater in Berlin this weekend. And boy, does Bill got that purp!

Bill Kaulitz was resplendent in the royal color, an enormous (yet chic!) granny sweater, and platform wedges, which made us think perhaps he's making a not-so-subtle nod to the original Purple rocker, Prince.

And why not? Both Bill and Prince have a flamboyantly charismatic stage presence, as well as a penchant for gravity-defying hair and sparkles. And both Bill and Prince command undying support from an army of loyal followers.

In today's Buzzworthy Blog fan Q&A with Tokio Hotel, Tokio Hotel's asked how they deal with a broken heart, while Bill Kaulitz matter-of-factly points out that the upside to not having found true love is not having his heart broken! You'll also find out which member of Tokio Hotel is the biggest heartbreaker (if you couldn't already guess), plus, Tokio Hotel tells you about the prospects of a Bill-and-Tom-Kaulitz twin collabo fashion line. Because dreams can come true.

Tokio Hotel is already your religion to some extent, be it official or otherwise. In today's Tokio Hotel MTV Buzzworthy Blog fan question video, find out what Bill and Tom Kaulitz think about religion and which creed Kaulitz x2 subscribe to. Plus, find out which Kaulitz twin is the evil twin!

And, because it's Tokio Twofer Tuesday, see which member of Tokio Hotel pulls the best pranks, and which celebrities Tokio Hotel's crushing on...  SPOILER: Tom's STILL into Jessica Alba, and according to Tom, Georg is into... David Hasselhoff. Can you blame him?)

Friday the 13th often means scary and ominous things, but it doesn't have to be that way. I hereby dedicate this Friday the 13th post to the final in a series of exclusive MTV Tokio Hotel photos. Enjoy two more so-amazing-they're-almost-scary photos of Bill Kaulitz and another photo of Tokio Hotel after the jump. And check out more MTV exclusive Tokio Hotel photos here. And stay tuned for Tokio Hotel's Buzzworthy Blog fan questions!
