Yesterday we featured David Guetta's video, "Sexy Chick." Lest we leave you in a lurch wondering who, exactly, David Guetta is, here's some backstory.

David Guetta is essentially Supreme DJ Overlord of Europe's dance circuit (unofficial title); so while David doesn't have to impress anyone over here, he's been winning over U.S. audiences all summer.

Do I need to ask if you're familiar with Guetta's summer jam, "When Love Takes Over," with vocals by Kelly Rowland? How about the Black Eyed Peas number, "I Gotta Feeling," which Guetta produced and co-wrote? So yeah, whether you knew it or not, your summer's been Guetta-rrific.

DJ Guetta's name may come to the U.S. forefront soon enough, though, thanks to latest album, One Love; Guetta has a ridiculous set of collaborations: Of course there's Kelly Rowland -- as well as a remix of "I Gotta Feeling" -- on the album, but he's also got will.i.am, Estelle, Ne-Yo, Kid Cudi and Akon (on "Sexy Chick.")

A little back story on Guetta? He was born in Paris, and he began remixing vinyls and throwing parties by age 15. Guetta became club king a few years later, DJing blowouts in Paris and Ibiza. His renowned "F*** Me, I'm Famous" party in Cannes actually hosted Guetta's initial meeting with Kelly Rowland -- who was shaking her booty to Guetta's mix 'til the wee hours, until she approached Guetta in the DJ booth for a collabo. So nice when they come to you!

So, that's what you need to know about David Guetta. That, and he DJs parties bigger than your hometown. Now go remix your own version of "Sexy Chick."

Last night I got a super-fun invite to the opening party for the brand-new H&M location on 86th Street and Lexington Avenue in New York's Upper East Side.

I cruised past the free drinks, chicken-curry-pea-wrap things, cross-dresser Andre J in heels and full beard (whatever it takes), Estelle in a peacock dress (hooray!), and lots of look-at-me-type doe-eyed girls dressed like Alexa Chung to get an up-close-and-personal look at Tokio Hotel's H&M x Fashion Against AIDS collabo t-shirt, which are in stores today, along with more designs by Katy Perry, Estelle, Yoko Ono, Dangerous Muse, N.E.R.D., Robyn, and more musicians, designers, and noteworthy names.

So, here's the Tokio Hotel t-shirt, in all of its glory!

The shirts say "Rock Hard, F+++ Safe," and they retail for $16.90. AND, they were right on the same table next to Cherry Tree Records labelmate/ Buzzworthy idol Robyn!

Aside from free condoms (weeeee!), there were also little boxes of pins with Bill and Tom on them. Don't think for a second that I didn't swipe a couple of those...

Tokio Hotel's new album is STILL not out yet (alas!), but at least you can get a little piece of the guys when they release their new use-a-conner t-shirts for H&M.

Tokio Hotel, along with Katy Perry, Estelle, Yoko Ono, Robyn (Robyn!!!), N.E.R.D., and more -- like Rihanna last year -- were tapped to designed safe-sex t-shirts as part of H&M and Designers Against AIDS' Fashion Against AIDS 2009 campaign.

The shirts, which are available in male and female versions (but feel free to change that up depending upon your gender-bending preferences), will hit H&M stores worldwide (great news!) on May 28. Twenty-five percent of the campaign's proceeds will fund HIV/AIDS youth awareness projects.

Lovingly, Tokio Hotel's shirts say "Rock Hard, F*** Safe." Gotta respect that kind of forwardness. Oh, and Tokio Hotel was photographed for the campaign by Daniel Jackson. Because I know you keep track of that sort of thing.

I will now leave you to your fantasies...

+ The unlikely pairing of Lil Wayne and Fall Out Boy on his latest album "Rebirth" (Oof.  All I hearz is Patrick Stump yodeling) makes me wonder if L Dub will "Phone Home" some BBerry pix of his netherbits.   (Rap-Up)

+ She's like the wind: Some cute pics of Lady GaGa bein' an easy breezy girl doin' easy breezy things with her friends (no "disco stick riding" here).  Amaaaazing what a blonde Janice-from-the-Muppets wig, a French-cut unitard, and a celebrity blogger will do for your career. (PerezHilton)

+ OOF! Estelle! Girl better WERQUE that football jersey. (Go Fug Yourself)

+ Buxom "Barbed Wire" babe Pam Anderson came a two-steppin' down the runway to close out Richie Rich's Wednesday night fashion show (flanked by Roller Rich himself). Kind of annoys me that his muse (and my personal thinspiration) Amanda LePore got the shaft quicker than you can say hep-A. (E! Online)

+ Ok. How great is it that Felicia "Fe" Culotta and Britney Spears have been reunited again, seen here tooling around town in a Mini (when did Brit get that??).  Oh, how i have MISSED Fe's lil Southryn lisp and high school bangs.  Welcome back, lady.  P.S. JoBros gots to be PISSED, yo. No??  Who will keep Big Rob company??? (Pink is the New Blog)

+ Our favorite little strawberry muffintop Clay Aiken apparently got the boot from his record label, RCA.  Personally I don't mind his voice (however Contempo-Christian it may sound), but he'll get no sympathy from me until I see next steps from sexpot Katharine McPhee. Yes.  I still have McPheever. DEALWITHIT. (Jaded Insider)

Perhaps I should've attempted to adjust my TV, but aside from that T.I., M.I.A., Jay-Z, Wayne hip-hop all-stars performance and Coldplay's ongoing Fisher-Price-meets-Sgt. Pepper troop trope (yaaaaaaaawwwwwwnnn... and I DID NOT need to see that much of Chris Martin's treasure trail!) the 2009 Grammys might as well have been broadcast in black and white.

From the Jonas Brothers, to Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift and even Kid Rock (who usually doesn't leave the house unless it's in something that demonstrates his affinity for a BeDazzler and a pound or two of rhinestones) kept it a funereal black and white, though they all pulled it off with elegant panache. In short, aside from the few mod metallics, and Katy Perry, the 2009 Grammys were all about sobering, somber chic! For real, I thought I was going temporarily colorblind.

Anyway, let's get to it!

Jonas Brothers: True, the Jonas Brothers didn't win the Grammy they were up for, but getting to share a stage with Stevie Wonder was prize enough, IMO. Fashion-wise, their red carpet tuxedo trio was pretty much what you'd expect from the capable hands of stylist Michelle Tomaszewski. My favorite was Nick Jonas' head-to-toe black Burberry suit. Kevin Jonas' Versace suit subtly set him apart as the elder statesmen of the three. Joe's metallic Versace jacket was a little too Vegasy for my tastes, but I always appreciate that he takes fashion risks. Also, BTW, did you see Denise? WOAH, mama, she looked amazing! As for the Jonas Brothers' performance looks: Nick was in Dior, and I LOVED that his look was a little bit Danny Zucko in Grease, less the schmaltz, a little bit James Dean, a tiny bit old-school Faith-era George Michael, and a WHOLE LOT grown up. Honestly, Joe's performance look wasn't doing THAT much for me. Don't get me wrong -- he looked perfect as always, but Nick really stood out so much that he overshadowed Joe, who could've gone a little farther than just the ripped Requel Allegra tee and Dior vest and jeans. By the way, that eye-popping necklace was by Swiss designer Avakian, and while I'm sure it was stunning in person, it distracted on screen (Was it a cassette tape? A jeweled cracker? Bingo card? Billion-dollar iPod? No clue!) and took away from his Mick Jagger swagger. It would've made more sense for Joe to wear a fitted jacket, especially with Kevin all like "Oh hai, I'm just over here nailing this performance and coming out with a 3D movie and a TV show and we're gonna be on Saturday Night Live and everything" in a swish Versace suit. But back to the Jonas Brothers' performance: Not just ANYBODY gets to cover "Superstition," and this performance completely put the Jonas Brothers on the map... for the two people whose maps the Jonas Brothers weren't already on. Seriously though, that performance was icon-status-sealing and could finalize their move out of the teen-pop mold; it showed skeptics that the Jonas Brothers aren't just bubblegum, they can (for the trilllionth time!) play their own instruments, command a stage, and extend their reach beyond a youth-only audience.

Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift: Miley wore an original Herve Leger by Max Azria dress on the red carpet. Had it been just plain black, it would've been a bit boring, but the bejeweled bodice, criss-cross straps and stacks of bangles kept it fresh, and the massive rosette kept it from being "just another black dress," and though the length was a little overwhelming, the shape was amazingly flattering. Taylor Swift drove home the "we're besties" message in a Kaufman Franco black jersey dress with patent leather detailing. Gotta say: both dresses were way too long. Take a cue from Carrie Underwood and show a little leg while they're still amazing! You can't fault Miley or Taylor for appearing adult while playing the good role model role, but I wouldn't have minded either dress in a more youthful color, like a jewel tone. Also, I can't say I loved either's performance outfit, Miley's especially. Jeans at the Grammys? I know it's not the Oscars, but it's not the CMAs either. (Sorry, CMT!) That top looked like Liza Minnelli's cast-off. Bring back the cute!

Katy Perry: I liked that Katy Perry was strictly business on the red carpet -- her pink dress was by Lebanese designer Basil Soda -- and party on stage, where she chose to wear every color ever in her salute to Carmen Miranda. Her costume was by The Blonds, and her "I Kissed a Girl" performance made me feel like I was trapped inside a pachinko machine. And I kinda liked it.

Jennifer Hudson: Okay, I just need to say it: That white asymmetrical bib on Jennifer Hudon's color-blocked sculptural RM by Roland Mouret Trenet dress made her look like she had an emergency pre-Grammy root canal and forgot to take off the bib. However, I loved her midnight blue shoes. Also, Jennifer Hudson can do whatever she wants because she had the worst year ever and her talent knows know bounds. The black sequined dress she wore during her performance of "You Pulled Me Through" was stellar stuff, and the flamenco-style hair and earrings were really all she needed to complete the portrait-of-the-young-woman-as-a-pure-powerhouse look.

Sara Bareilles: Speaking of pink, Sara Bareilles was totally pretty in pink in her Louisa Beccaria strapless ruffled dress with matching (but not too matchy-matchy!) accents. I wanna write her a love song and thank her for wearing something so sugary sweet.

Audrina Patridge: Audrina usually looks sexy or hot or amazing but "cute" is not usually the first word that comes to mind. But last night, Audrina looked absolutely adorable in teal Tadashi. Her hair and bright lips were also perfection. Yay, color! Finally!

M.I.A.: We get it. You and your boyfriend got bored and decided to act out Juno. But were you hitting the labor drugs early? You do NOT need to dress like a bloated ladybug. Don't get me wrong -- I love House of Holland (who designed her black-and-white performance outfit). I just love Agyness Deyn in it more. And I'm fine with you wearing Golas when you're playing human hotel. But did you really need to go the Dorothy Zbornak route? I'm still not convinced you weren't hiding all FOUR Golden Girls underneath that Manish Arora tarp.

Jordin Sparks: You are SO SO SO cute and SO not an old lady. But that rose-printed Debra Davenport dress was SO not cute and SO old lady!

Carrie Underwood: That performance pantsuit was a little June Carter Cash with those OOC chiffon bell sleeves, but who cares? She's got legs for miles! And was it just me, or did her female guitarist look like Paris Hilton? Speaking of...

Paris Hilton: Yes, Paris. Less is still less. Please send that Versace Spring 2003 mini back to 2003 where it should stay.

LeAnn Rimes: i'm a huge fan of stone embellishments, but LeAnn's cerulean Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti outfit looked like Star Trek Voyager made its maiden voyage to Cyprus. And taupe? Really? You don't wear taupe on a red carpet unless you're going to the pantyhose awards. Or you're Leona Lewis. And speaking of...

Leona Lewis: Leona is such a gorgeous girl, but her tan Randi Rahm gown bleeding bored me.

Duffy: I've read some negatory reactions toward Duffy's Alberta Ferretti jeweled chiffon cocktail dress, but I really loved that she took an ordinary style and made it her own with an asymmetrical cut. It was super glam but subdued and fit her soulful, old-school style perfectly.

Kanye West: Mazel tov! Your transformation into '80s television star Meshach Taylor is now complete!

Estelle: Call us when Kanye's spaceship lands.

There were so many amazing videos this year that we decided to commemorate our fave three by doing a mini Buzzworthy Countdown. (Sorta like MTV's Best of 2008 lists, except shorter!) Read on to find out my #2 pick for 2008, and stay tuned for #1 coming atcha later on this week!

I'm not gonna lie: I put an insane, almost-embarrassing amount of thought into choosing my second most-favorite video of 2008. But here's the thing: although I knew I wanted hip-hop, the more I carefully weighed my options, the more it started to seem as though I had an ulterior motive behind every single pick.

Take, for instance, Kanye West's "Stronger," which very nearly made the cut -- until I started being honest with myself, and admitted that my favoritism had less to do with 'Ye's powerful cinematography and more to do with the fact that I worship the line "Since O.J. had Isotoners." Genius!

Then I went through a brief Ludacris "What Them Girls Like" phase (before deciding my objectivity was compromised by my Chris Brown obsession), duly dismissed T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" (in retrospect, it was sorta hokey), and then, feeling equal parts decisive/mad with power, rejected Estelle's "American Boy" (too jet lag-inducing), Lil Wayne's "A Milli" (too venereal disease-y) and N.E.R.D.'s "Everyone Nose" (it makes me have to pee) in quick, rapid-fire succession.

Which left me ... right back where I started ... at which point, I decided 'Screw the whole moral superiority thing,' and picked Flo Rida's "Low" because it reminded me of the bald, fat-suit-wearing Tom Cruise dancing scene from Tropic Thunder. Enjoy the flashback.

+ Missed my #3 pick? Get up to speed now, plus find out which video my editor/partner-in-crime Tamar Anitai chose as her third fave.

Sure sure, the Beastie Boys pioneered the fake-'staches-and-'70s-suits crime-fighting video with their 1994 classic, "Sabotage," but if you're gonna pay homage, you might as well pay homage to the masters. And in their new "Guilty As Charged" video, Gym Class Heroes tear a page from the Beasties' handbook and from classic Blacksploitation films like Shaft, and, clearly, Bruce Lee kung fu flicks.

Watch Travis McCoy -- who was just named the newest ambassador to Staying Alive, MTV's HIV and AIDS awareness campaign -- Disashi, Eric, and Matt, plus Quang, and a bewigged, Foxy Brown-ed Estelle put the hurt on some old-school dookie chains and nunchucks.

"Guilty As Charged" was directed by Mark Allan Staubach, who also shot The Academy Is...'s "Summer Hair=Forever Young," in the amazing Las Vegas institution that is the neon graveyard, where old signs go to die.

Truth time! We've been chugging along on the Estelle train (Choo-choo!) ever since we first heard/downloaded/ruined (by slaughtering it at Sing Sing Karaoke) "American Boy" back in March. But in our (admittedly) way-biased opinion, her new video, "Come Over," -- the third single off her breakthrough sophomore album, Shine) has everything you want out of a four-minute (and six-second) track:

Wispy/hypnotic soprano vocals? Check. Shiny, Hefty-bag inspired little black dress? Check. Smooth reggae beats from a cornrowed/shades-wearing Sean Paul? Double check.

And let's not forget the fact that she looks absolutely flawless (love those thick, lustrous maybe-it's-Maybelline lashes!) despite rocking an edgy, Rihanna-like side 'do and an impossibly pointy pink strapless number. So check it out, watch Estelle send those amazing/regrettable late-night drunken(?) text messages (Booty call!) and give it up for her new, sultry Jazmine Sullivan/"Need U Bad" sound.

+ Plus, watch Estelle and Kanye West rock the EMAs with their live (and oh-so-topical) rendition of "American Boy." It's an Obama-nation!

+ At a BMI bash thrown in honor of his #1 hit, "You Look Good In My Shirt," country singer Keith Urban told his wife (Nicole Kidman) "you do look good in my shirt. And out of it!" TMI, much? (People)

+ NME names Crystal Castles' Alice Glass the Coolest Person in 2008. Her reaction? "I'm flattered, thank you, but back in school the people who held themselves in the same regard were also the biggest waste of skin I've ever met." Tell us how you really feel. (NME)

+ M.I.A. may be ineligible to vote in this country. But based on what she wrote on her MySpace page ("For you the words are Obama vs. McCain. For me, it's terror vs. genocide,") we have a feeling she's thinking Ralph Nader. (Spinner)

+ Jessica Simpson tells Cosmopolitan magazine that "If I get married again, then it will be the last time." Good thing, too, seeing as most nuptials nowadays tend to include that tricky "till death do you part" clause. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Did you spend like, two hours in line today waiting to vote? Omigod, so did Fall Out Boy! You guys are, like, total twinsies -- ya know, except for the whole part about being hugely successful pop-punk rockers. And being married to Ashlee Simpson. (MTV News)

+ Meanwhile, get in the voting spirit with this election-themed playlist! Our fave song? Estelle's "American Boy." So topical! (Best Week Ever)

+ And finally: he may be a married man, but Usher ALWAYS knows how to work the ladies. (Rolling Stone)

... And boy are our hands tired. We have our suspicions, but we, like you, won't know fo sho until this Friday night on FNMTV, when the final nominees in the "Best New Artist" category are announced, along with the "Best Dancing In a Video" noms. Seriously, someone's mom's gonna be super proud when she finds out she's one step closer to getting a Moonman to proudly display on her fridge.

Anyheezy, out of the eight pages (!!?!?!?) of possible VMA Best New Artist nominees, here are 10 of our favorite picks and their A+ videos.

+ OneRepublic, "Stop and Stare" -- Their smash hit "Apologize" is also a contender, but "Stop and Stare" hurts even better.

+ Leona Lewis, "Bleeding Love" -- Buckets of sexy, soulful emotion!

+ A Cursive Memory, "Everything" -- Punk'd 2.0!

+ Tokio Hotel, "Ready, Set, Go!" -- Duh...

+ Taylor Swift, "Teardrops on My Guitar" -- Seriously, how could Drew make our little pretty pretty princess cry!?!?

+ Vampire Weekend, "Oxford Comma" -- Wes Anderson + grammar = nerds unite!

+ Kid Sister, "Pro Nails" -- Inspiring us to keep our tips fly!

+ Estelle, "American Boy" -- Inspiring us to up our frequent flyer miles. And ring Kanye about another breezy duet.

+ She & Him, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" -- Oh, Zooey. Why do you have to be so cute?

+ The Teenagers, "Love No" -- Frothy drinks, rollerskates, sexual tension and lotsa tongue? Yes, please!
