You think you know everything about Drew Seeley -- he's Canadian, he earned an Emmy nom for his High School Musical songwriting skills, he was in Another Cinderella Story with Selena Gomez, AND he's A PRINCE (you can currently find him playing Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid on Broadway!). He also has an uncanny ability to take a mundane-looking Facebook profile and turn it into a rather compelling song -- you did see him do that on It's On With Alexa Chung this week, didn't you? No? You lose. But really, you have no idea...
Find out what else Drew Seeley has buried in his past -- you may be surprised to find there's a Drew Seeley connection to P.F. Chang's, the Saw movies, googly eyeballs, and puppy dogs.
If you weren't captivated by watching Alexa Chung force feed pro eater Joey Chestnut, Saturday Night Live's Bobby Moynihan, and Rob Thomas hot dogs, or helping one fan experience her ultimate dream -- a personalized Facebook page serenade by Buzzworthy crush Drew Seeley -- then perhaps you were too busy swooning over her worship-worthy vintage Adam Ant t-shirt. She's lucky she works a few elevator rides away from my desk, because I'm lusting after that ish! Anyway, here's what Alexa Chung wore on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.
Monday, July 6
+ T-shirt: Her own.
+ Skirt: Seventy Two Changes.
+ Shoes: A.P.C.
Seventy Two Changes is a relatively new label launched by Tawainese singer Jolin Tsai. You can find Seventy Two Changes in select Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's stores across the U.S., and you can expect a wider release later this summer, according to the Seventy Two Changes Twitter. Until then, check out this similar zip-up black skirt -- it's a simple staple but but happily, it's not boring, and it's just $39.99 at Urban Outfitters.
Alexa's amazing Adam Ant t-shirt is all hers, but check out this black-and-white V-neck designed by artist Kenzo Minami for Alex & Chloe. It's $46.20 at Alexandchloe.com.
But if you enjoy the thrill of a good vintage hunt, dig through VintageVantage.com's virtual vault of old-school t-shirts, where you can find everything from an $88 MTV hoodie to a 1978 The Who t-shirt (it's $257), to a Run-DMC t-shirt, which will set you back just $6,500.
+ Bonus: Vintage Video: Adam And The Ants, "Dog Eat Dog."
Selena Gomez recently revealed the contents of her super-cute closet to WWD and confessed that she's got a bit of a shoe obsession. Selena also copped to her biggest shoe splurge yet: "That would have to be my BCBG wedges. They’re black-and-gray leather with little stones around the wedge. I paid almost $300 for them, but they were a gift to myself, so I was excited to buy them.”
Fueled by Selena's shoe splurge, obsession, and confession, I went on a mission to find the BCBG wedges Selena splurged on. But Selena/ shoe/ Selena shoe fans, I'll be totally honest with you: I failed you, as I could not find Selena's BCBG stone wedges. (Can you sense my shame? It's palpable.)
HOWEVER, I did find another pair of shoes that are so Selena. They're ballet flats from the Rachel Rachel Roy collection they're embellished with adorable bronze pyramid studs, which are SO Fall, and they'll be in select Macy's stores this fall. And, even better news, the Rachel Rachel Roy footwear collection will range from $79 to $199, so, while they're not super-cheapie, they're still definitely less than Selena's BCBG splurge.
+ Watch Selena Gomez in Drew Seeley's "New Classic" video, and check out more looks from the Rachel Rachel Roy fall collection after the jump! Plus: Who did this to poor Selena? And, want more Buzzworthy fashion? Watch Christian Siriano give us a tour of his Fall 2009 line!

I'm not gonna tell you a million things you already know about Tiffany Giardina. I mean, I'm not your mom, you know? OBVIOUSLY you already love her, and she's in your top 8, and you know that her album's called No Average Angel and that she's pals with the Jonas Brothers and that she even SPENT CHRISTMAS WITH THE JONAS BROTHERS!!! Because life is just no fairsies.
So I ALSO don't need to tell you that Andrew Bennett, who directed the Jonas Brothers' "Year 3000" video also directed Tiffany's "No Average Angel" video.
But I AM gonna tell you five things I LOVE about Tiffany Giardina. Ahem...
1.) The fact that Tiffany subtly references the VMAs makes me hope she gets a VMA nomination this year. Or at least an invite. (Um, I'll see what I can do?)
2.) Totally selfish reason here: Tiffany's "No Average Angel" was filmed in BROOKLYN! Where I live! w00t! That means that Tiffany and I have ONE MORE THING in common with Biggie!
3.) While some celebrities ARE charity cases (I won't name names, but their names sound an awful lot like Mindsay Mohan), Tiffany spends her time GIVING to charity and charitable causes, like the Ronald McDonald House. And, even though school can be super boring, it's still important and whatevskies. And Tiffany's probably smarter than us (and by "us," I mean "me") since she did a music education tour and toured middle schools, which is cool but doesn't sound as fun as the summer camp tour she did. Because everybody knows that summer is more fun than school.
3.) Tiffany is on Twitter! Follow her at @TiffanyGiardina. I do!
4.) Not only is she friends with Drew Seeley, (see?) but Tiffany's friends and tourmates with Push Play! And they're both performing at Bamboozle this weekend!
5.) Three words: You. Better. Run. Two more: Pat. Benetar... I can't resist a good Pat Benetar cover! ("You Better Run" is a Pat Benetar cover... But you already knew that.)
Watch Tiffany Giardina's "No Average Angel" video after the jump, and tell me what YOU love about her.

You already know that Drew Seeley not only wrote some of the songs on the High School Musical soundtrack (and earned an Emmy nomination for "Getcha Head In The Game") but was also Zac Efron's singing voice (not in a ventriloquist way though). You also know that Drew Seeley starred with Selena Gomez in Another Cinderella Story, which is where "New Classic" comes in! And no, "New Classic" isn't about sneakers. It's about Selena.
So, here are five things I love about Drew Seeley's "New Classic" video:
1.) Drew references "PYT," which is an AMAZING old-school Michael Jackson song! KNOW this!
2.) Once the chorus kicks in, you can almost sing Usher's "Yeah!" (yeah!) on top of it, which is cool.
3.) Drew kind of looks like a young Robbie Williams. Well, doesn't he?
4.) Selena uses public transportation in the video. SO enviro-friendly and green, like her friend Miley!
5.) The "New Classic" video looks like it cost next to nothing to make but instead focuses on Drew's vocal chops instead of over-the-top effects. And HELLO! We're in a hardcore RECESSION, people. Everyone should take a tip from Drew Seeley and shoot on a shoestring. And by "everyone," I mean Kanye West.
Watch Drew in action in "New Classic."
