Kid Cudi tells a story in his exclusive MTV Spring Break video about being invited to an Christmas dinner in Atlanta by the mother of his dream collaborator, Andre 3000. It's a shame he never married Erykah Badu, because if he had, it would mean that Kid Cudi had technically been in contact with Andre 3000's baby's mama's mama-in-law, which would be a great segue into a "Ms. Jackson" remix.

Aside from flagging down collaborators, Kid Cudi uses the interview to hype up his debut album, Man On The Moon, and to get down to basics about the hottest thing on the beach: the girls. He also manages to bash one of music's biggest names, only to declare him "the best," seconds later. Only in Panama City Beach ...

These days, everyone who's anyone is partying over in the Twitterverse (bonus -- you don't even have to leave your couch!), and celebs are no exception. Also, if you don't know what Twitter is, a.) Seriously?!, and b.) Watch this.

Anyway, we here at Buzzworthy love Twitter because, well, we Tweet! But also, we love Twitter because the sheer entertainment value of following your favorite celeb CANNOT be overlooked. We've laughed, we've cried, we've poked our eyes out (after reading John Mayer's penis-falling-asleep Tweet) and attempted to set our keyboards on fire (ENERGY!). But we always come back for more.

So, herewith is our roundup of our favorite, must-follow celebrities who Twitter.

CLASS A CRAZIES: This group includes the "must-follows" -- the celebrities whose Tweets are so friggin' BANOODLES you simply cannot miss them.
+ Diddy (@iamdiddy) -- If you follow NO ONE else on this list, please, please, please follow Diddy. (LET'S GO, PEOPLE!)
+ MC Hammer (@MCHammer) -- Apparently he was hiding an early adopter in those glittery Hammer pants!
+ Shaqille O'Neill (@THE_REAL_SHAQ) -- Shaq lives in Twitteronia.
+ Snoop Dogg (@snoopdogg) -- His "izzle" talk just slays me every time. Occassionally Tweets while toking.
+ Steve Buscemi (@steve_buscemi) -- He hates penguins!
+ Solange Knowles (@solangeknowles) -- Love Solange, but when is she NOT Twittering. I think she's the sole reason Twitter keeps crashing.
+ Xzibit (@mrxtothaz)
+ Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) -- Dude Tweets DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS of American Idol! HOW IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED?
+ Lily Allen (@lilyroseallen) -- Lily still kinda hates Perez Hilton, and they are FOREVER back-and-forthing forever on Twitter.
+ Heidi Montag (@montagheidi) -- I swear to the Lord, you will S--T when you see how many of Heidi's Tweets are about Jesus!
+ Spencer Pratt (@prattspencer) -- Sometimes he's on the Bible train too, and he once even compared himself to Jesus. Epic.

FAMOUS BUT KINDA BORING: This group is dependable though almost never shocking. But they're all famous, so they've usually got somewhat interesting things to say. Just don't expect ALL CAPS Diddy rants or Lily Allen vs. Perez Hilton feuds):
+ Britney Spears (@britneyspears) -- Sometimes Britney's team posts for her, but this is still a good one.
+ Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) -- Yay, Selena!
+ Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) -- Demi and Selena leave each other little Twitter notes. 'Scute!

+ Soulja Boy Tell 'Em (@souljaboytellem) -- Mostly Soulja wants you to click on shiz for him and make him more famous. Soulja Boy also Tweets his beef with 50 Cent. (That was one of the weirdest sentences I've ever typed.)
+ Dave Navarro (@davenavarro6767) -- Tweets about being bored and playing video games. Fair enough, we say!
+ John Mayer (@johncmayer) -- He's become a bit of a mad Twitterer lately, and I'm actually a little tempted to move him to the above category. He once Tweeted about his penis falling asleep.

For our latest installment of "Buzzworthy Twitters With," let's say twhello (AH-GAIN) to Diddy! Yes, we know that we just Twittered with Diddy, but this stuff is waaaay too good to ignore. Also, Diddy has changed his name yet again and would now like to be referred to as P Twitty.

Diddy's Tweets are in bold (and, increasingly, ALL CAPS), and our responses are in italics. We'd also like you to note that the timestamps for most of these are verrrry late at night. OK, buckle up because it's gonna be a srsly bumpy ride!

Uh, we didn't think you were drunk or high. But, uhm, not to push the issue or anything, but sometimes when people ARE high they get paranoid. And you seem kinda paranoid right now. But whatevs. If you SAY you're not high, then we t-o-t-a-l-l-y believe you. Diddy is DEFINITELY NOT HIGH.

Life is what you make it!!!! Don't stop!!!   1:30 AM Mar 15th from TwitterBerry

See you round the Twitterverse!

With only two weeks standing between us and the Woodie awards (well, two weeks and two days for those of you keeping track) we figured we'd take a closer look at one of our favorite categories: Best Video Woodie. And since we have this thing about waiting (as in, we don't like doing it) we thought we'd help kill the time finding out who you guys think deserves to win. So take our informal survey now then watch it Wednesday, November 19, on mtvU.com to see how your picks match up with the actual results.

Bonus: For those of you need a refresher course (or a mid-afternoon work distraction), we're posting all five videos! Check out Gnarls Barkley and Erykah Badu's vids below, then catch the one from Vampire Weekend, Adele and Motion City Soundtrack -- after the jump.

+ Keep reading to watch the rest of the Best Video Woodie nominees! And don't forget to go to the official Woodies website to cast your vote for realz!

We're still recovering from that crazy, sleep-deprived time in our lives we like to call the 2008 VMAs (and, more recently, from VH1's Hip Hop Honors bonanza), but that doesn't mean we're not already gearing up for the next big televised awards show. Fortunately, we don't have long to wait, seeing as the mtvU Woodie Awards kick off Wednesday, November 19th.

And whether you're a sorority girl (like Elle Woods!) a pre-frosh (like Serena and Blair!) or someone who religiously watches Hannah Montana, we have a feeling you're not gonna want to miss THE definitive college awards show (where all the nominees are chosen by poor, ramen-noodle-eating university types!) And since the polls are officially open from now through November 7th, here's a painstakingly complete list of the categories and nominees. You're welcome!

+ Lil Wayne, Paramore, Tokyo Police Club, MGMT and Santogold duke it out for Woodie of the Year. Note that as much as we would love to see the nominees breakdance fight, the winner for this category (and all subsequent categories) will be chosen solely on the basis of your votes.

+ We love charity. Just today, we selflessly scarfed down three oatmeal raisin cookies (purchased from a Breast Cancer Bake Sale!) all in the name of good health -- and late-afternoon sugar rushes. Now, cheer on your fave do-gooders as Eddie Vedder, Ludacris, Jack's Mannequin, Mary J. Blige and Emmanuel Jal fight for the right to take home the Good Woodie.

+ Ever heard that song "Video Killed the Radio Star?" Yeah, that's a bunch of bull. So hit the polls to see Adele and Motion City Soundtrack take on heavy hitters like Gnarls Barkley, Vampire Weekend and Erykah Badu for the Best Video Woodie.

+ We've always had a secret soft spot for the New Kid. So we'll definitely be checking back to find out which of these rookies (All Time Low, We The Kings, There For Tomorrow, Lykke Li and Tyga) is gonna walk out of here with the title of Breaking Woodie.

+ You know those amazing can't-live-without artists you never heard of 'til, like, yesterday? Well, you still have three more weeks to choose between No Age, Chromeo, Yelle, She and Him and The Cool Kids for Left Field Woodie.

+ And you gotta give it up for the performers who ALWAYS know how to put on a good show. Or as we like to call them, "the Michael Jordans of music." Yeah, we're talkin' about you, Kanye West, Atmosphere, N.E.R.D., The Ting Tings and Simian Mobile Disco. May the best one win! A Performance Woodie, that is.

****Psssst! Not only can you vote for your favorite artists -- you can also campaign for them on your Facebook/MySpace pages(!!) For more details about voting, campaigning and general Woodie goodness, go to mtvU's official Woodies Awards site. GO WOOD!

Panic At The Disco's Beatles-inspired "Nine In the Afternoon" video also inspired a 2008 VMA nomination for Best Direction.

Panic will be at the 2008 VMAs. And if they win, director Shane Drake -- he also directed two videos up for a 2008 Best Rock Video VMA -- Paramore's "crushcrushcrush" and Fall Out Boy's "Beat It" -- will share the honors. Shane, one of the most creative and prolific directors of the decade, also directed Panic's "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" video, which won them the Video of the Year award at the 2006 VMAs.

In the Best Direction category, Panic's up against Erykah Badu's "Honey," Linkin Park's "Shadow of the Day," Rihanna's "Take a Bow," and Pussycat Dolls' six-time-nominated "When I Grow Up" video. Do you think "Nine In the Afternoon" retro-nuevo style can beat out the competition?

Watch "Nine In the Afternoon," check out Buzzworthy's behind-the-scenes footage of Panic at the video shoot, and tell us if you think Panic can pull it off.

Also, please tell us which member of PATD -- Brendon, Ryan (happy day-after-your-birthday, by the way), Spencer, or Jon -- will show up to the VMAs looking the most like George Harrison/ Devendra Banhart?

Attention budding directors, design nerds, After Effects tinkerers and Tay Zonday fans. Six new 2008 VMA categories have just been announced, and you'll be glad to know (or at least I am), that Erykah Badu, Death Cab for Cutie, and Weezer did not get overlooked.

Erykah Badu's "Honey" homage is up for three out of the six new categories, Death Cab for Cutie's meat locker love song "I Will Possess Your Heart" is up for two, and Weezer's "Pork and Beans" squeaked in too. Good damn thing too, because it would've been a crime if that gem had been overlooked.

The new categories focus on video design, direction, and ... DANCE! They're sorta like the technical Oscars, but more exciting. And speaking of the Oscars, the new categories are:

+ Best Art Direction: Welcome, MGMT and White Stripes!

+ Best Choreography: Two Chris Brown videos up in here. Big shocker there. And Adele and Gnarls Barkley make an appearance!

+ Best Cinematography: Breakneck competition here between Badu, Death Cab, Katy Perry, White Stripes and Pussycat Dolls, who now have SIX nominations -- the most of any artist this year.

+ Best Direction: Panic At the Disco, and Rihanna pick up their second noms of the year. Link Park picks up their third.

+ Best Editing: Will Katy Perry, Erykah Badu, Death Cab, and Ne-Yo get served by Weezer's "Pork and Beans"?

+ Best Special Effects: Coldplay enters the race with "Violet Hill," and so Kanye doesn't throw a fit, his "Good Life" video's in there too.

Check out the full list of new categories and nominees, check out Buzzworthy's interview with "Pork and Beans" director Mathew Cullen, and watch the epic meme montage yet again.

There are like 18 brillion videos eligible for a spot on the Video of the Year nominee leaderboard, and I sure as shoot ain't got time to talk you through each of them. Do that on your own time and your own dime, okay? But since this is such a maje category, here's a look at 20 standouts. Vote now! You only gots a few more hours, and after that, you've only got regret.

Oh, and don't miss this Friday's installation (like that? it sounds like a work of art) of FNMTV to see who the final nominees are.

+ 50 Cent featuring Justin Timberlake, "Ayo Technology" -- A glossy, Bond-meets-Bourne video that looks really cool but, I think, is basically about switching cell providers or something.

+ Ashlee Simpson, "Outta My Head" -- Surrealism and Santogold songwriting! Sweet!

+ Alicia Keys, "Like You'll Never See Me Again" -- Serious. Bawl. Sesh.

+ Boys Like Girls, "Thunder" -- I so did not go to high school or high school parties with guys this hot.

+ Common, "Drivin' Me Wild" -- You dressed up Lily Allen as an astronaut because you are awesome, and you look extra hot in a white tux because you are extra hot.

+ Erykah Badu, "Honey" -- Viva la mom and pop y la homage!

+ Foo Fighters, "Long Road to Ruin" -- Ohhhhhhhh Dave Grohl. When oh when oh when will you finally realize we're meant to be together? Oh wait, sorry. This is supposed to be about the video, right? Right. That rules too. (I LOVE YOU, DAVE!!!!!)

+ Ingrid Michaelson, "The Way I Am" -- Weren't scared of clowns before? You are now.

+ Jonas Brothers, "Burnin' Up" -- The JBs get all action-adventure on us. (And after chasing them around for two days, their video's starting to feel less like satire, more verite.)

+ Last Shadow Puppets, "The Age of the Understatement" -- Cold! Grey! Soviet!

+ Missy Elliott, "Ching-A-Ling" -- 3D's cool, but now my heady hurty.

+ No Age, "Eraser" -- Heady, confusing, beautiful.

+ N.E.R.D., "Everyone Nose" -- Livin' la video Lohan! (But remember... this is not a song "about" cocaine ... it's about... people... who do cocaine.)

+ Panic At the Disco, "Nine In the Afternoon -- Crazy 'staches, papier-mâché fishies, dudes in those olde-tymey onesies.

+ Paramore, "crushcrushcrush" -- Something is seriously wrong with the world if these guys (and girl) don't get nominated. I will blame you.

+ Phantom Planet, "Do the Panic" -- California... wait... did we make a wrong turn back there?

+ Pussycat Dolls, "When I Grow Up" -- Boobies! Groupies! Groupie boobies!

+ Tally Hall, "Good Day" -- Adorkable!

+ Vanessa Hudgens, "Sneakernight" -- Mama needs a new pairah shoes!

+ Weezer, "Pork and Beans" -- UhDUH.

A few Buzzworthy favey faves:

+ Robyn, "Konichiwa Bitches" -- Robyn dressed as sushi!

+ Gwen Stefani, "Early Winter" -- Classy black-and-white pouty Gwen lensed by Sophie Mueller. It's a sleeper hit but a classic.

+ Mariah Carey, "Touch My Body" -- Girl hired Brett Ratner, Kenny the Page AND a unicorn!

+ Alicia Keys, "No One" -- Sexy, suggestive piano grindin!

+ Tori Amos, "Big Wheel" -- Speaking of piano grinding... total MILF montage action from the ageless auteur.

+ Leona Lewis, "Bleeding Love" -- Hottest thing to hit Times Square since the Naked Cowboy.

+ Janet Jackson, "Feedback" -- Got milk?

+ Kid Sister, "Pro Nails" -- The Chicago MC and Kanye get on that acrylic tip.

+ Katy Perry, "I Kissed a Girl" -- Duh.

+ Jennifer Hudson, "Spotlight" -- A sophisticated approach to wack relationships.

+ Erykah Badu, "Honey" -- Like 20 videos in one, plus a salute to indie record shops!

+ Duffy, "Mercy" -- Skip Duffy? Have Mercy!

+ Estelle, "American Boy" -- We're likin' this British import so much we wanna claim her as our own.

+ Solange, "I Decided" -- We decided we're absolutely, undeniably obsessed with Beyonce's sassy little sister.

More VMAs here.

When the video shoot for Erykah Badu's "Honey" stretched into a nearly 24-hour-long affair, Erykah, ever the detail-minded pro -- and perhaps making up for the long stretch between 2003's Worldwide Underground and her upcoming album, New Amerykah -- stayed on task for every minute of the epic event.

Christopher Robinson, of Robot Films, directed the video; he's also pretty much Alicia Keys' right-hand director man, responsible for "Fallin'," "A Woman's Worth," "Karma" and "You Don't Know My Name" to name a few. "No leisurely pace here," wrote Robot Films president Jeffrey Rhodes of Erykah during the December 2007 shoot. "She was awake, alert and moving at supersonic speeds the whole 22 hours."

And it shows.

Check out the finished product above; the video puts a feminine twist on Outkast's "Hey Ya!" video, shouts out classic hip-hop, funk and soul albums and artists like the Ohio Players, Nas, Eric B. & Rakim and De La Soul, (watch for an Olivia Newton-John send-up too) makes not one but two Beatles refs, and pays tribute to a sadly dying institution: the Mom & Pop record shop.
