According to this MTV News story, Demi Lovato's video for "Remember December" is, in a word, about, "taking control as a girl. It's like girl empowerment. Yeah, divas!" Okay, that's 11 words. But who's counting?

In the "Remember December" video (posted to Demi's Twitter), you can see Demi Lovato's Gaga-esque sequined hoodie in all it's glory. But that's only a smidge of what's going down. Lovato is fully channeling Pat Benatar here. She rocks some very-Gaga studded leather gloves and a biker jacket with Sgt. Pepper shoulders as she directs her band and exorcises some rotten relationship demons. Also  sounds like someone's been listening to some Paramore. It's a full-on pop-punk anthem. Yeah, divas!

In this MTV News interview with Demi Lovato, Demi recounts the moment in history when the now-solo but not-broken-up Nick Jonas first told her that his rhymes were so fly and his jeans were so tight and that he wanted her to sing the hook on the Jonas Brothers'  rap parody "Bounce." (Not to be confused with The Cab's "Bounce.")

But there's something far more urgent that needs to be discussed here: it looks like Demi's copped the super deluxe version of The Fame: Monster! No, Demi is not rocking one of Lady Gaga's blond locks (yet), but Lovato is GOING HARD in one of those sparkling hoodie things (a staple of Gaga's look). And Demi went ultra metallic at the 2009 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards and at the UK premiere of Hannah Montana: The Movie. And this past week, Demi Lovato showed up to Disney's 2nd Annual Concert For Hope in a gold-and-black metallic top that hearkened back to Lady Gaga's VMA red carpet dress. (Minus the neck brace.)

The Demi interview took place on the set of her "Remember December" video. I'll be rather curious to see if that clip features any walker and crutches-aided choreography.

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.

+ Jay-Z and his wife (some woman we've never heard of) were out trying to have a peaceful dinner when a pesky pap got all up in their biz, eventually throwing his tripod at one of Jay's bodyguards. Needless to say, that tripod is making for some fine coral off the coast of Croatia (cause you know, it's all tropical and shallow, where coral grows). (Pop On The Pop)

+ Happy Birthday, Demi Lovato! (Twitter)

Taylor Swift could've chose ANY song -- A Billy Currington song, The Summer Set, Keith Urban, something by Tim McGraw -- for her brand-new video tour diary. But Taylor Swift clearly ADORES Justin Bieber as much as we do over here at Camp Buzzworthy.

Watch Taylor Swift's new tour diary video -- make heart hands every time you see a cameo (Demi Lovato, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift's mom, Brooks & Dunn guy) -- set to Justin Bieber's "One Time," which Taylor's obviously a fan of too. And check out brand-new MTV photos of Justin Bieber, and OF COURSE, watch Taylor Swift's "VMA Side Story" video!
Your world is my world.
