  1. 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.

Not only did Alexa wear a Marc By Marc Jacobs "Off The Deep End" t-shirt -- the same Marc By Marc Jacobs t-shirt we've seen I recall Demi Lovato wearing -- on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung, but her shirt was basically a harbinger of the show itself, which featured a visit by a bubbly Christina Milian, couch time with the unflappable Stephanie Pratt, a performance by Kristinia DeBarge, and a cheering lesson by a real cheerleading squad. Wanna know what else Alexa wore? READY????? OKAY!

Did Topshop have Marc Jacob's spooky "Off The Deep End" shirt in mind when they rolled out their "Horror Girls" collection? Hm? Topshop's vampire tee is $36. Topshop's "Eek" t-shirt is also $36.

Cute graphic-print tulip skirt options = this blue Marc By Marc Jacobs skirt is $121 at MyTheresa.com.

... Whereas this tribal-print skirt is a whopping $15.80 from Forever 21. Love that.

Dudes, if you thought Brüno's balls in Eminem's face at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards was dirty... well... wait... it was... But we here at MTV have seen dirtier stuff before. Like Christina Aguilera in assless chaps. (Need a reference point? See below.) Or Taking Back Sunday covered in tar in their "Sink Into Me" video. The Foo Fighters covered in red paint. Christina Milian covered in God knows what. And some of our favorite bands -- Hit the Lights, The Cab, Mutemath, Weezer, and more -- have gotten covered in food, paint, pie, and more dirty, messy, filthy, in some all-out gross-out videos.

So check out 10 of the dirtiest music videos of all time -- some sexy, some sloppy, and some straight-up sick. (Uh, Primus, anyone?)

Christina Milian -- "Dip It Low" -- Sloppy can be sexy! Christina Milian writhed around in... chocolate fondue? Black paint? Ink?... in her 2004 "Dip It Low" video while teaching you how to "pop that thang."
+ Watch "Dip It Low"

Menomena -- "Rotten Hell" -- Never before has a food fight looked so elegant nor spaghetti looked so beautiful flying through the air in slow motion like in Menomena's 2007 "Rotten Hell" video. Seriously, this is less food fight, more ballet. And that blonde kid had it coming. Dude, gimmie some of your tots!
+ Watch "Rotten Hell"

Christina Aguilera -- "Dirrty" -- "Dirrty" is the granddaddy of the dirty music video! You get Christina Aguilera in assless chaps, Redman bringing up the rear, and a panoply of fantastic, orgiastic attributes, like furries, fighters, and masturbatory moves. Another word for it? WIN.
+ Watch "Dirrty"

Foo Fighters -- "The Pretender" -- Things start out tense but basically okay in the Foo Fighters' 2007 "The Pretender" video, until about halfway through the song, when the po-po get a little too close for comfort, and the Foos retaliate with a s++storm of red paint. Dave Grohl has alluded to the song being politically motivated, but if you play it backwards, you can hear "I hate Courtney Love" (speaking of messes) plain as the nose on your face.
+ Watch "The Pretender"

The Cab -- "Bounce" -- The Cab's 2008 "Bounce" video is basically Art History 101 -- it features a not-so-subtle Andy Warhol (actually a Patrick Stump cameo), and by the end of the video, the set looks like a Jackson Pollock.
+ Watch "Bounce"

Hit The Lights -- "Drop The Girl" --  Skip school, start fights, stay in school, start food fights! Bonus: cleavage, pizza, House Of Holland-inspired message blocky tees! Killer.
+ Watch "Drop The Girl"

Primus -- "My Name Is Mud" -- Primus' 1993 "My Name Is Mud" video is an absolute classic. Just ask Beavis & Butthead. Les Claypool in a lounge lizard suit, hulkin' fat dudes taking mud baths, dead bodies, Bob Cock drinking pork soda, and a seriously nasty drum and bass line. It doesn't get dirtier than Primus.
+ Watch "My Name Is Mud"

Weezer -- "Troublemaker" -- It's no "Buddy Holly" or "Pork & Beans," but Weezer's "Troublemaker" is a three-minute-long parking lot nerd Olympics, complete with a crapton of nacho cheese, 223 people on air guitar, and the world's smallest, and it all culminates in an epic pie fight. Oh yeah, and Rivers Cuomo gets dressed up like Limp Bizkit-era Fred Durst and rhymes "beyatch" with "kids." It's great!

Fabolous just released his latest video, "Throw It In The Bag," off his soon-to-be-released comeback album, Loso's Way. The "Throw It In The Bag" video features Fabolous and a foxy female with a flair for the five-fingered discount. Here are five fast facts you need to know about "Throw It In The Bag." (And shoplifting.)

1.) The lawbreaking female lead in "Throw It In The Bag" is model/ actress Claudia Jordan from Deal or No Deal -- she usually holds briefcase 1 -- and Celebrity Apprentice season 2.

2.) The-Dream sings the hook. Clearly. And he also appears in the video. (Side note: Is The-Dream to 2009 was T-Pain was to 2008?)

3.) The-Dream's girlfriend, Christian Milian, was on the set of the "Throw It In The Bag" shoot, as was Ryan Leslie.

4.) "Throw It In The Bag" was directed by Erik White, who also directed Keri Hilson's "Turnin' Me On" video and a handful of Chris Brown videos. But we won't hold that against him.

5.) "Throw It In The Bag" was shot in the Meatpacking District of New York City. In New York, if you get busted for shoplifting, you can get nailed with Petite Larceny and Criminal Possession of Stolen Property in the Fifth Degree, which are both class "A" misdemeanors, punishable by up to one year in jail. (In the video, Fabolous' girl only appears to spend a few hours in jail and still leaves looking hot.) If the stolen goods retail for more than $1000 (and they probably were well over $1000 in the Meatpacking District), the charges can be Grand Larceny and Criminal Possession of Stolen Property In the Fourth Degree -- felonies punishable by up to four years in prison. Know that.

+ Jane's Addiction: "Been Caught Stealin'"
+ Len: "Steal My Sunshine"
+ Kelly Rowland: "Stole"
+ Dashboard Confessional: "Stolen"

Everyone loves a good, old-fashioned Cinderella story. Girl meets boy, girl falls in love with boy, girl lands major record deal and everyone lives happily ever after.

'Course, in real life, it doesn't always work out like that. And for Christina Milian, her picture-perfect life fell apart faster than you can say "Once upon a time." Turns out, the perfect boyfriend was cheating, the iron-clad contract with Def Jam Records was expendable, and the career of her dreams was nothing more than fairy dust.

Fortunately, this being the new millennium and all, Christina decided she wasn't ready to close the book on her musical career just yet. After a three-year absence (during which time she did some MAJOR soul-searching, found a new Prince Charming and got her ass back in the studio), Christina's just about ready to release her third album: Dream in Color.

So join us in welcoming the drop-dead gorge singer-slash-actress back to the scene, and wish her lotsa luck with her new LP (set to drop in April of '09). She may not have a magic wand-toting fairy godmother by her side, but she's got something even better: glowy skin, perfect cheekbones and a crapload of determination.

Oh, and we're thinking that sure-to-blow track featuring professional hitman Kanye West doesn't hurt, either.
