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.
This video is pretty much a thank you note. As a form of gratitude for collaborating with him, Diddy shows Bieber and his buddy the time of their lives in an undisclosed location.
Diddy totally comes off like the awesome uncle who spoils you in this funny video, telling Justin Bieber he's going to lace him with a Lambo for his 16th birthday and dangles the promise of a mansion for his 18th birthday.
Funny thing is, Diddy refers to the time he's spending with Bieber as some kind of take on 48 Hours. Now, for those who don't know, 48 Hours basically involves Nick Nolte dragging a handcuffed Murphy through one bar fight after another, ending with a really long shootout.
That is not a good look for the still-teething Bieber! He's hitting the prime of his life, Diddy! No bar fights!
It's been a long, strange trip for Juicy J and DJ Paul. Better known as Three 6 Mafia, the dynamic duo started in Memphis, went out west for some adventures in Hollywood, and now find themselves in a dank and damp basement for their new, subterranean-set video, "Shake My." As basements go, this is not such a bad look. It is after all populated almost entirely by silent, scantily clad women. Not particularly scantily clad or silent is Kaleena, part of Diddy's Dirty Money group, who handles the hook for this club banger. She's took the last train to Paris and found herself...in a basement with Three 6 Mafia. Undeterred, she is intent on shaking her you know what. That's the spirit, girl.
Thank you, Alexa Chung. At least YOU had a sense of humor about bitchassness! Unlike SOME people! Like Diddy. Who's apparently too cool to plunge a toilet. The NERVE. You DO want people to watch your show, don't you? (SPEAKING OF -- that show is CALLED Making His Band, and it starts tonight at 10pm.) Dude, Didatron DID NOT bring his "let's-go-people/lock-in" attitude today. But Alexa locked right in on her perfect style as always. Here's what Alexa Chung wore today on It's On With Alexa Chung. Besides a No Bitchassness shirt.
Monday, July 27 + Shirt: Steven Alan + Shorts: Levi's + Espadrilles: LK Bennett

+ Long-forgotten rapper Mase has been inspired by who else to make a comeback? None other than Michael Jackson/Jesus Christ. UGH. Jesus Christ! (Perez Hilton)
+ Sam Lutfi, Britney Spears' former best buddie/pal/stalker/drug crusher-upper/phonewire cutter is like the STD bronchitis you just can't kick. He's now filed papers in court saying that BritBrit has made him fear for his life. He's even naming some character witnesses, including Brit's former paparazzi squeeze Adnan Ghalib. Vat a mess... (TMZ)
+ If you're like me, you probably think at least TWO of the guys in up-and-coming boy band V Factory are hotter than hell. And if you're like me, you probably had no idea that the eldest member of the band, Nathaniel Flatt, is hotter than hell AND openly gay (that explains it, right?)! Check out this revealing interview with the hotness that is Nathaniel Flatt. (Towleroad)
+ The day would just not be complete without a juicy morsel about Lady Gaga. Today, we bring you her <TOPLESS> photo shoot for V Magazine. (Gabby Babble)
+ Chris Brown was evidently all over Kanye West's ex-girlfriend Amber Rose at the party Diddy threw for the 4th Of July this weekend... sloppy seconds much? (The Superficial)
+ Quincy Jones gave a shockingly honest interview about Michael Jackson's transformation from a handsome black man to a white guy with an addiction to plastic surgery. (GQ's STYLE)
+ Add Mariah Carey's name to the star-studded list of people who will be on hand at Jackson's memorial service to be held at the Staples Center in L.A. (P.S. MTV will broadcast the memorial LIVE on air and online beginning at 12pm ET tomorrow). (MTV News)

+ Um, a dead body was found during the clean-up after this year's Bonnaroo festival? So creepy! (NME)
+ Keyshia Cole pulled out all the stops on the L.A. leg of her current U.S. tour. Friends like Keri Hilson, Nas, and Diddy were all in attendance to help the singer put on a star-studded show. Wish we could have gone! (Rap-Up)
Saturday night Trent Reznor announced, live from the Bonnaroo stage, that the Nine Inch Nails performance underway would be the band's last. "It just dawned on me that this is our last show ever in the United States," he said. "Don't be sad. I'll keep going. But I think I'm going to lose my mind if I keep doing this."
Does that mean that Nine Inch Nails are gonna be a world band now? Tuvan throat singers? Mariachis? Nueve Inch Nails? Who knows. For now, all we can be sure of, is that Nine Inch Nails are gonna disappear for a while.
To keep you company while they recharge their batteries (and to shame NIN into coming back for more) here's a brand-new video playlist made up of bands who have threatened to call it quits. Eminem, Coldplay, The Roots, Jay-Z, Diddy and more. What a perfect way to finish the day!
Diddy's a very, very busy guy, what with his Bad Boy empire and making all of those bands on MTV and such. But he's not all behind-the-scenes. And he's certainly not too busy to get right in on the action, as you'll see below, when he lends verses and his million-dollar face to Cassie's brand-new "Must Be Love" video. A minimal R&B slow-burner with a beat that sounds like rain, the track is the latest to surface from her upcoming album, Electro Love.
It was real nice of Diddy to help out on "Must Be Love." His rhymes definitely beef up the track and his million dollar face undoubtedly attracts attention. But, by now, you've probably seen a few photos of Cassie. She doesn't really need any help attracting attention, does she?
Aside from giving the beautiful Cassie plenty of air-time, the Bernard Gourley (50 Cent, Flo Rida, M.I.A.) -directed video also does plenty to fuel the frenzy over her effortless talent (not to mention the frenzy over her long-rumored romance with Diddy -- these two look pretty comfortable!). Get your first look at what everybody's gonna be slow-grinding to this summer, right here on Buzzworthy!
+ How on earth anyone takes Spencer Pratt and his so-called burgeoning rap career seriously is beyond us. Still, he's been getting interviewed by the likes of Complex and XXL. Really? WTF?? (The Tripwire)

+ This just in: Buzz-crush Honor Society has announced their first-ever headlining tour! (Buzzworthy)
+ Because we all give a s*** what Chris Brown is doing these days, he kindly let us know via YouTube that his new record is coming out soon. Oh. And he ain't a monster. (MTV News)
+ Um. Ok. This month's Rolling Stone will feature a verrrrrrrrrry Carol Kane-esque Lady Gaga. The bitch is everywhere!!! (Rolling Stone)
+ Here's Pitbull beating the ever-living s*** out of a poor concert-goer. Way to be. (Holy Moly!)

+ Green Day potentially lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in sales for refusing to censor their new album so that retail giant Wal-Mart would stock it. Good work, boys. Way to fight "the man." (NME)
+ Speaking of sticking it to "the man," Coldplay announced that they were releasing a FREE 9-song live album as a thank-you to their fans. We know, right? Download it. (Coldplay.com)
+ Bidding has started on a pink dress that was Inspired by Mariah Carey's new fragrance "Luscious Pink" (the dress was also worn by Carey while out to anniversary dinner with hubster Nick Cannon). Good news is that ALL proceeds benefit cancer research foundation Susan G. Komen For The Cure. (eBay)
