Tokio Hotel's 2010 tour may be over, but that doesn't mean it's turning off the lights and locking up Humanoid City. Quite the contrary. Tokio Hotel just dropped a brand-new video for "Darkside Of The Sun," which is a performance video that a) fulfills your desire for another Tokio Hotel video and b) gives you a little piece of the group's upcoming live CD/DVD, Humanoid City (July 20) to look forward to.
"Darkside Of The Sun," shot mainly in Milan, Italy, features Tokio Hotel's very "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"-meets-Gotham City set, holy sh** special effects (TOM'S PIANO ON FIRE! U2 PopMart-leaning graphics!), Bill Kaulitz's unbelievable DSquared warrior robot costume and several shots of a crying blonde.
It's a classic performance video in the vein of Guns N' Roses' "Paradise City," or, more recent, Paramore's "Careful" video. And it's a perfect way to close out Tokio's "Humanoid City" tour.
+ Watch "Darkside Of The Sun" and tell us what you think of Tokio Hotel's new video!

Ke$ha Kaulitz, is it? Hmm???
Call us crazy, but when the "TiK ToK" singer walked the red carpet at MTV Japan's Video Music Awards this past weekend with a hair-raising new 'do, we were instantly reminded of the classic look Tokio Hotel singer Bill Kaulitz used to sport.
Ah, the good ol' days.
Ke$ha, please tell us you're NOT going to follow this up with braided dreadlocks. We're still trying to recover from seeing Bill -- and NSYNC's Chris Kirkpatrick -- rocking that look.
While you consider the Sonic The Hedgehog look, watch Tokio Hotel's epic "World Behind My Wall" video -- it features our (current) favorite Bill hair.

Inspired by the amazing work of Viek, a Beijing artist who makes Barbie-size versions of classic Lady Gaga ensembles, we started thinking about all the celebs we'd like to see endowed with a Barbie created in their image. After a lot of research -- and a couple unnecessary trips to the American Girl store -- we came up with the following list of 6 celebs we'd like to see in Barbie form.
We'd explain more, but we've got to go back and pick up Lanie from the doll hair salon. We can't wait to see how her double-flip twist turned out!

(Credit: Brian To/PictureGroup)
1.) Hayley Williams: The Paramore singer has already admitted to collecting Barbies so it seems only fitting that she have one of her own. Her hair would change color with warm water and, in a perfect plastic world, she'd be wearing creepers, Dickies pants and an H20 hoodie. Plus, she'd come with a Chad Gilbert boyfriend doll, as well. [Insert collective pop-punk swoon here.]

2.) Tyson Ritter: When he's not giving you hell on stage with The All-American Rejects, Tyson Ritter can often be seen striking a pose for various clothing campaigns. Yup, homeboy is a male model in his spare time. Color us impressed. And attracted. A doll version of the Oklahoma native would have to come with a vial of silver glitter and your own temporary AAR tattoo.

3.) Katy Perry & Russell Brand: Sure, Katy already has her own doll and likes to kiss girls, and he's had kind of a ton of sex, but the Barbie brand could really benefit from having a power couple in bustiers and extremely tight pants.

4.) Justin Bieber: With his perfect button nose, pouty lips and all-too-perfect coif5., Justin Bieber already looks like a living doll. However, just like Oreos, jelly bracelets and episodes of "Party Down," you can never have too much Bieb. That said, we'd like to see our Bieber doll come with a pair of Nike dunks, a fitted cap and a long-bristled dandy brush so we can spend hours grooming his luxurious hair. What? It's not like that's creepy or anything.

5.) Ke$ha: We imagine Ke$ha's doll incarnation would be a little less Barbie and a little more Jem, but that's just us. Either way, possible accessories include mini Whiskey bottles, hair feathers and flamboyant male backup dancers.

6.) Bill Kaulitz: The Tokio Hotel frontman is so beautiful, we're worried that Barbie might be threatened by his looks. She's been super-insecure since that behatch Bella Swan Barbie hit the scene and started flirting with Edward Cullen Ken.

And that's love. Right, Ke$ha?
In what might be the most disturbing piece of news we've read all day -- heck, all year, even -- the Tokio Hotel guitarist ALLEGEDLY experienced some not-so-pleasant side effects after popping a couple Viagra during the band's tour of Asia. It's not what you think, though.
Tom Kaulitz (also allegedly) claimed "I popped a few pills, probably too many. The next morning my head was pounding, and everything in front of my eyes was blurry. It wasn’t fun any more. It was pretty bad.”
Looks like "Double Vision" isn't just a horrible song by Foreigner.
Of course, this was according to Bild, so take it with half a grain of salt. Plus, any Tom fan knows that his virility is one of his favorite discussion points. Either way, Tom! Take a cue from Ke$ha and try love!

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.
1. "Alice (Underground)" performed by Avril Lavigne
2. "The Poison" performed by The All-American Rejects
3. "The Technicolor Phase" performed by Owl City
4. "Her Name Is Alice" performed by Shinedown

6. "Where's My Angel" performed by Metro Station
7. "Strange" performed by Tokio Hotel and Kerli
8. "Follow Me Down" performed by 3OH!3 featuring Neon Hitch
9. "Very Good Advice" performed by Robert Smith
10. "In Transit" performed by Mark Hoppus with Pete Wentz
11. "Welcome to Mystery" performed by Plain White T's
12. "Tea Party" performed by Kerli
13. "The Lobster Quadrille" performed by Franz Ferdinand
