  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.

Just two nights after the 2009 MTV VMAs, which was like fashion week crammed into a single night (in addition to Lady Gaga's one-woman fashion show) we indulged in some New York Fashion Week craziness at the G-Star Raw Spring 2010 show at Hammerstein Ballroom.

G-Star shows are always big on theatrics -- Benicio del Toro recited Joy Divison at a G-Star show in 2009, and Dennis Hopper's also appeared in a G-Star show.

While this year's show didn't star a celebrity on the catwalk, stars like Lindsay Lohan, Taylor Momsen, Asher Book, Corbin Bleu, Christian Siriano, Eric Balfour, Tyson Beckford, Kat Von D, Gabe Saporta, Kara DioGuardi, Peaches Geldof, Jared Leto and Juliette Lewis surrounded the runway as G-Star presented a very retro-futuro rock-n-resort collection to David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel."

Get a front-row seat to the G-Star Raw show in this Buzzworthy video!

One of the very special guests on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung was the luminous Sara Paxton -- she's in that new CW show The Beautiful Life, and she plays a beautiful model... with a BIG secret. (And if you've heard of The Beautiful Life, it's probably because Mischa Barton is/ was in it, Ashton Kutcher's producing it, and the ads feature NAKED MODELS! And naked Corbin Bleu!)

What ISN'T a secret though is how much I LOVE Sara Paxton's flower-covered Doc Marten "Lottie" boots! They're so fantastically 1990s. They're also like having an entire garden made just for your foot. Also, back in the day, my sister had a pair, and I made fun of her for them, but it was really because I was secretly jealous. But enough about my family dramz. If you're PRO flowery Doc Marten boots, get your own for $119.95 at Zappos.com.

Less awesome but definitely still intriguing are these flocked Docs, which come in black-and-white and several more color combos. They're $120 at DMUSAStore.com.

Oh, Chad! You're alllll growed up...

Former High School Music star Corbin Bleu stopped by MTV the other week to answer your Buzzworthy blog fan questions, and in the process proved that he's graduated from his Disney days and is all grown up. Like, very grown up. Very. Like, he's super hot. And all grown up. Get it? And seriously, was he born to wear a leather jacket? Was he born IN a leather jacket?

Anyway, get the stories behind the songs on his new album, Speed of Light -- a puppy almost shut down recording on one song, and yes "Close" is about someone real. Plus, find out what Corbin Bleu looks for in a girls other than Angelina Jolie! And thanks for sending in your Corbin questions!

The masked men of Hollywood Undead aren't the only celebs I'll be chatting with next week. Corbin Bleu will also be hotting up MTV HQ this Thursday, March 12, and I'm gonna be asking him your I <3 Corbin questions.

Got a question for Corbin? If you wanna know how he keeps his arms so RIDICULOUSLY ripped, his hair so SPECTACULARLY voluminous, or why his upcoming album, Speed of Light is about to about to take up permanent residency in your iPod/ mobile listening device (I will cop to hitting repeat on "Rock 2 It"), then leave that question in the comments below. You ask, Corbin answers!

PLEASE tell me you watched the Kids' Inaugural: We Are the Future show tonight. If you didn't, we're not even friends anymore. You did? Okay. Friendship BACK ON!

Okay, so, a few thoughts, courtesy of Buzzworthy:

+ Indeed, Miley Cyrus' dress was NOT her best look. Not the worst, but not the best. My Cy looks great in everything, but that granny gown/ Very Barbie Christmas dress was WAY too formal and WAY too old for her. Like Nancy Reagan-too old. Inaugural thematic t-shirt, peace sign necklace, and black skinny jeans for "Fly On The Wall" = Ahhhh. Much better.

+ HOW is Jamie Foxx STILL hyping Ray??? You KNOW those kids are like "WHERE ARE THE JONAS BROTHERS already?" (Or at least I was...) And please... leave the beatboxing to... nevermind. It's even annoying when Justin Timberlake does it.

+ Demi Lovato performs live and DESTROYS it! Which is when I realize that if, for some bizarre reason, I had to choose, I think I'd rather be Demi than Miley: Demi plays guitar and piano, performs in higher heels, likes metal, and has a much better relationship with the Jonas Brothers, who produced her debut album, Don't Forget. (But you knew that.)

+ Woah! Jill Biden goes by "Nana" too! Does Spencer Pratt know this?

+ I, like much of America, fell in love with Michelle Obama when she spoke at the DNC back in August, but watching her address an auditorium full of kids makes me realize all over again that I kinda want her to be my mommy.

+ Lucy Liu = Seriously? ZzzzzZZzzz. That's great that she's doing stuff with UNICEF, but the only thing she really ever did for me was show up in Destiny's Child's "Independent Women Part 1."

+ Corbin Bleu = Dude, you sound like Usher, yet you dress like Michael Jackson. And I'm sorry, but I just can't get behind that hair. I mean, well, literally, I probably could get behind that hair and you wouldn't even see me. But, you brought kids up there with you, so I'll have to retract my claws a little, because everybody loves kids.

+ Bow Wow's back. Again. But what does "Marco Polo" have to do with Obama? And "Thank You" is like eight years old! Though I JUST now realized that Bow Wow samples The Cars' "I'm Not the One" on that track.

+ One of the best parts of the entire event: Usher taks the stage and a camera pans to a little girl who literally fell to her knees, threw her hands above her head, and about fainted over Ush's very presence.

+ OMJ! The Jonas Brothers are backstage! And they're saying SOMETHING about some kinds of ways to get involved! Only you can't really hear what they're saying because (of course), the roar is DEAFENING! Finally, the JBs take the stage, and IT'S ON! Nick had his green guitar and was all asmiley-smiles during "S.O.S." (I have to say, Kevin's leather jacket -- wasn't feeling it. Leather jackets are best left to David Archuleta.) Anyway, every human being in the entire Verizon Center seemed to know the words to "Lovebug," and the Jonases took that one to church real quick but also let the audience be the stars of the performance. Meanwhile the Obama girls shot the Jonases on their Flipcam and digi. So tech-savvy, those two. Next, the Jonas Brothers performed "Tonight," (also their brand-new video -- yay!!!). "Burnin' Up" was the fourth and final song, and Big Rob was in a tux! (Note: um, is anyone else worried Big Rob's getting even bigger? I know it's kind of a job requirement, but eep. I'm a little concerned.) So then Joe Jonas pull off a total Jonas-Obama-Biden jammy jam when he pulls the First Girls on stage. And basically, I make like the Usher girl (or the "Kevin Touched Me!" girl) at the very sight of the three cutest boys and the cutest girls together on the same stage ushering in a new era. YES THEY DID!

'Kay. It's late! I have to get up early, and so do the Obama girls! Big day tomorrow, and all! So get Obama’s Inauguration Day schedule, and don’t miss all of MTV’s historical coverage of “Be the Change: Live From the Inaugural."

Troy Bolton, Gabriella Montez, Sharpay Evans, and Chad Danforth are making one very important stop before they head back to East High for senior year, and that's the 2008 VMAs.

High School Musical 3 most-populars Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu will present an award on the big night!

Which raises a crucial question: who will have the most fantastically flawless hair -- Zac Efron or Vanessa Hudgens? AND, can we PLEASE talk about Corbin's hair for a second? It's a freaking national treasure. WHY is that not more widely recognized? Ponder, discuss, and GO WILDCATS!

Oh, and sorry, but Vanessa gets my senior superlative pick for East High's Most Talented. Observe:
