+ Jay-Z raps about his impending fatherhood in GQ's "Men of the Year" issue; he's one of four GQ covers for the issue. "Providing -- that's not love," Jay says. "Being there -- that's more important," he said on being a dad. GQ crowned Hova "King of the Year." (MTV News)

+ If this video has a lesson, it's never hold a Kurt Cobain photo at a Courtney Love concert, unless you want a litany of swears thrown at you, and for her to insult Foo Fighters and storm off stage. NSFW, unless your boss loves hearing the F-bomb multiple times. (Rolling Stone)

+ Dr. Dre needs some time off. He's taking a break from recording his forthcoming Detox album. "I'm gonna just wrap it up for a minute... the longest I've been out of the studio in 27 years has been two weeks." (Rap-Up)

+ So there's been some controversy around Nickelback playing halftime during the annual Detroit Lions home football game on Thanksgiving. Fans started a petition to remove them, but they're officially on the bill. Um, U.S. Thanksgiving, Canadian band? Just sayin'. (MTV News)

+ Katy Perry may surpass the title for which she's currently tied with Michael Jackson and score six No. 1s on the Billboard Hot 100 from the same album. Can Teenage Dream's "The One That Got Away" do it? We'll find out soon, but peep the cover art. (Neon Limelight)

+ Will a "sharking" meme go viral next? Check out photos of Ke$ha working a shark mask in Rio de Janeiro yesterday. There are also snaps of her boat ride in Sao Paolo. (ONTD)

+ Lady Gaga and Cher's "The Greatest Thing" may drop in the next couple of days. While we wait with baited breath, co-writer/producer RedOne says, "I think it's timeless. The beautiful thing about this song is, it's very uplifting...and it has a dance vibe on it." (MTV News)

+ He's in. He's out. He's in. T.I.'s officially free (again), having been released from a halfway house in Atlanta last night. "[He] basically checked out of the halfway house for the very last time," said a Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson. (Rap-Up)

Originally intended for Courtney Love's solo record, "Samantha" was composed several years ago and cowritten by Courtney and songwriters Linda Perry and Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins).  While Courtney's solo record never came to fruition, the track eventually made it on to Hole's 2010 release Nobody's Daughter. Which brings us to the "Samantha" video. 

In the "Samantha" video, Courtney is decked head-to-toe in bridal wear and is seen trudging through what seems to be an abandoned, destroyed city. Smoke billows from a building behind her, and the streets are packed with burnt car frames and overturned trucks. Naturally, Courtney isn't at all shocked by the scenery and seems to actually enjoy frolicking among the wreckage while in her wedding gown. (We're guessing she's really NOT into her groom.) Next up, Courtney returns to what we assume is the scene of the crime: an abandoned wedding banquet table and a bedroom... that she proceeds to light on fire, NBD.

While we're not quite sure what the hell went on at those nuptials, we do know this: Committing arson in a couture wedding dress is like, so bad-ass and quintessentially Hole. Oh, and if we were that groom, we'd get the hell out of town right about now.

+ Watch Hole's "Samantha" video.

+ We're all gaga up in here: This week Lady Gaga announced she'll be performing at the VMAs and dropped four VMA promo clips. Tonight her "Yoü And I" video makes its TV premiere on MTV. Afterwards, she'll do a live Q&A, which will include fan questions. Holla! (MTV News)

+ Björk is set to release her new album Biophilia Sept. 27, and now we can peep the album artwork. Part Alexander McQueen, part Bozo The Clown. We dig (as we do most thinks Björk). (Pink Is The New Blog)

+ Bon Iver's Justin Vernon is no stranger to collaboration (just ask Kanye West, who's worked with him). Next up is "Fall Creek Boys Choir" with James Blake. No idea what that entails, but color me intrigued. (Pitchfork)

+ Game's got...GAME. After a tweet from his account listed the Los Angeles Sheriff Department's phone number, which then flooded their switchboard, authorities discussed pressing charges. Game apologized; now they're square. (E!)

+ Kurt and Courtney's grown-up child, Frances Bean Cobain, goes glam in some newly released photos. #stunning (MTV Style)

Courtney Love managed to tear herself away from Tumblr long enough (we know, it's so hard) to hit the town in London last night. The What Courtney Wore Today webmaster and a friend were seen in London's Soho neighborhood, and the former Hole frontwoman was working that sidewalk like it was a runway. That, or maybe she just had one too many? It's a fine line, really.

You know, since Courtney Love takes fashion photos for her blog so often (and the woman seriously owns some enviable clothes), we're kind of wondering why she doesn't parlay her love for all things sartorial into a side gig or something, à la Lady Gaga's V magazine column. After all, Courtney Love was a '90s fashion ICON. We think the lady knows a thing or two about starting a trend. Yo, Condé Nast, hook this sister up!

Ah, the time-honored practice of blowing kisses. Those imaginary little treats that fly through the air are as close as most people are ever going to get to smooching their favorite celeb. Unfortunately, it's harder than it looks to do it with poise.

Christina Aguilera looks cute and sassy in the above photo, but there are lots of celebs who look, well, awkward. And who doesn't love an awkward photo?! That's why we put together Buzzworthy's Awkward Photos Of Celebs Blowing Kisses photo gallery! Take a look and see who's kiss you want to catch.

While greeting fans on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards, Jessica Simpson forgot one cardinal rule of kiss-blowing: Don't show your teeth! Good kisses do not contain teeth.

Shown here arriving at the 2008 MTV VMAs, Miley Cyrus attempted the sly "just blowin' a kiss" maneuver but seemed to have a bit of hand-eye coordination trouble. Pro tip: You cannot blow the kisses off your hand if your hand is nowhere near your mouth.

And here we see a somewhat nonplussed-looking Courtney Love arriving at amfAR's Inspiration Gala in Los Angeles, performing what looks like a cross between a kiss and a kiss-off. We'll take it anyway.

You can take Courtney Love out of Hole, but you can't take Hole out of Courtney Love (wait, that came out wrong). Courtney took to the stage last night at the amfAR Inspiration Gala, and it looks like she's stealing the show, per the usual.

Like Ke$ha's dress from the same event, Courtney's also rocking the whole "night club in the front, gala in the back" dress thing, but she kept it a tad tamer. Courtney, who's found internet popularity on Tumblr with her blog "What Courtney Wore Today," continues her years-long tradition of being a punk fashion icon by documenting her outfits on the daily in the hopes of remaining a source of fashion inspiration. So while you might not think that a mulleted Renaissance wedding dress is gala-appropriate, think again: WWCD (What Would Courtney Do)?

Oh, Courtney Love. Courtney, Courtney, Courtney.

It's been a wild ride, hasn't it? For all the trials and tribulations you've had to endure over the years, it's good to know you can dust the dirt off your shoulders, throw on a couture gown, head out to a fancy movie premiere and still look flawless.

Last night, you showed up at the premiere of the new Sean Penn movie, This Must Be The Place, which is named after one of my favorite Talking Heads songs, and looked every bit like the Hollywood starlet. I mean, seriously. Da-yum. Plus, to pull out the whole lip bitey thing on top of it? That's so "Rocky Horror Picture Show"! You'll inspire a legion of girls to bite their lips in 2011 in the same way you inspired the grunge-era female masses to bleach their hair and rock tattered slip dresses.

C-Love, it's time to channel that energy, write another Live Through This and get the original Hole lineup back together again. Who's with us?!?

One week ago today, I was maxing and relaxing in sunny Los Angeles. I spent my time eating Mexican food on patios, driving with the windows down and walking my friend's adorable dog, Hudson, around the Silver Lake Reservoir. In other words, one week ago today, I wasn't wearing Wellies, hitting people with my industrial-size umbrella and suffering from humidity-induced hair frizz.

That's right -- I love you, New York City, but you've gotta quit with this rain garbage!

I moved to NYC from Los Angeles in July to accept my amazing editor gig at MTV.com, and while I had only lived in the City of Angels for 18 months, in that time I became pretty attached to my picturesque surroundings. One week after moving out West, I remember driving down Sunset Boulevard, whizzing past the Chateau Marmont, thinking to myself, "Do I really live here? This must be a dream!" and I continued to pinch myself on a weekly basis until I had to stop pinching myself, because that's weird.

While I absolutely love my Manhattan stomping ground, I definitely miss Los Angeles on days like this when the rain is incessant, the sky is gray, and the public transportation smells like ass.

To get in touch with my California self, I'd like to share some of the songs that remind me of my former hood. Grab a beach towel, apply some sunblock and feel 100 times sunnier with music from The Distillers, Everclear, Hole and Coconut Records.

Finally, and if you'd like to keep up with all my musings, please visit my website and follow me on Twitter (@redpatterndress).

1.) The Distillers' "City Of Angels": I don't listen to a ton of full-out punk rock, but once I heard The Distillers, I was hooked. Their second album, Sing Sing Death House, unleashed my inner Liberty-spiked rebel, and I always thought "City Of Angels" was the perfect love letter to Hollywood and the Sunset Strip. Plus, I was lucky enough to hang out with frontwoman Brody Dalle a couple times while I was working at Alternative Press, and she remains one of the badass-est ladies I've ever met.

Listen to "City Of Angels"

2.) Everclear's "Santa Monica": I can't tell you how many times I spent driving around Shaker Heights, Ohio, in my friend Jessica's mom's Toyota Celica convertible, blaring this song while the two of us screamed along at the top of our lungs. We would even put the top down in the middle of winter and blast the heat so we could still achieve the full "Santa Monica" experience. (I also can't tell you how many times I developed a gnarly head cold because of such behavior.) Oddly enough, Jessica still drives her mom's Celica, and when I go visit her at the end of the month, don't think I'm not bringing this song with me!

Listen to "Santa Monica"

3.) Hole's "Malibu": Sadly, I never managed to make my way to "Malibu" while I lived in L.A., but I can put this song on, close my eyes and almost smell the salty beach air. One of these days, I'm going to take a mini-trip and drive down to the Paradise Cove Pier. From there, I also might have to frolic in the water in a nearly nude slip dress so I can pretend to be Courtney Love in the "Malibu" video. NBD.

Listen to "Malibu"

4.) Coconut Records' "West Coast": Whereas some Jason Schwartzman fans would pick Phantom Planet's "California" as their favorite L.A.-inspired song by the Rushmore Renaissance man, I prefer the quieter indie pop of "West Coast." (Why, you ask? I blame it on watching too many reruns of The O.C. on The Soap Network while I was fun-employed.) Plus, I think the line, "I wish you would've put yourself in my suitcase," is the cutest thing ever, so if Jason ever wanted to sneak away in my luggage, I'd totally pay the check-in fee.

Listen to "West Coast"
