God bless Cobra Starship's Gabe Saporta. He might be the only member of a key-tar-wielding band who can get away with the lyric, 'I'm gonna make you my boo,' all while rocking a pencil mustache and dressing up as an electric company worker.

All that and more appears to be going down in this video, a behind the scenes look at Cobra's forthcoming video for "Hot Mess" (the second single from Cobra's album of the same name).

Personally, I hope the Con Ed jumpsuits the band's wearing are an homage to the scene in Ghostbusters II when Egon and Ray discover the river of slime beneath New York City, but I digress.

Not only can you catch the full "Hot Mess" video this weekend, when it debuts on November 8th, but you can hear it anytime you tune in to the new MTV reality show, Styl'D (because it's the theme song, you stylistas).

Just two nights after the 2009 MTV VMAs, which was like fashion week crammed into a single night (in addition to Lady Gaga's one-woman fashion show) we indulged in some New York Fashion Week craziness at the G-Star Raw Spring 2010 show at Hammerstein Ballroom.

G-Star shows are always big on theatrics -- Benicio del Toro recited Joy Divison at a G-Star show in 2009, and Dennis Hopper's also appeared in a G-Star show.

While this year's show didn't star a celebrity on the catwalk, stars like Lindsay Lohan, Taylor Momsen, Asher Book, Corbin Bleu, Christian Siriano, Eric Balfour, Tyson Beckford, Kat Von D, Gabe Saporta, Kara DioGuardi, Peaches Geldof, Jared Leto and Juliette Lewis surrounded the runway as G-Star presented a very retro-futuro rock-n-resort collection to David Bowie's "Rebel Rebel."

Kristin Cavallari, Katy Perry, and Amber Rose picked up Buzzworthy Fashion Awards for the silvery spectacles and primal get-ups they wore to the 2009 VMAs. Now see which fashion honors Buzzworthy has bestowed upon Madonna, Olivia Palermo, Hayley Williams and more celebs for their VMA style!

MOST COMMANDING: TIE! MADONNA & OLIVIA PALERMO
Some stars like Amerie and Cassie opted for full-on color on the VMA red carpet. Madonna and Olivia Palermo, who wore Susan Woo, commanded the carpet in head-to-toe black. How New York of them.
+ Watch Olivia Palermo on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Madonna open the VMAs with a tribute to Michael Jackson.
+ Photos: MTV Stars on the red carpet.

ALL-AROUND CUTEST: HAYLEY WILLIAMS
THANK you, Hayley Williams. See, THIS is how you dress for the VMAs. When I chatted with Hayley inside of Radio City that night, she told me that Katy Perry told her about Jeremy Scott, who designed the LP-inspired skirt she's wearing. Hayley's vintage-rock look is spot-on perfect for the VMAs. It's youthful but not ridiculous, fun and dressed up (especially with those heels and the bright pop of color from her lipstick), but it's not over-the-top. Ahhhdorbs.

HOTTEST, MOST MAD MEN-INSPIRED GUY: GABE SAPORTA
Gabe Saporta + Balenciaga = Yeah you did.
+ Watch Cobra Starship on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Gabe introduce Lady Gaga's performance at the VMAs.
+ Watch Gabe discuss his VMA Mad Men style.

COOLEST THING COVERING SOMEONE'S BOOB: PINK
The sparkly pink heart covering Pink's boob during her death-defying performance of "Sober" was just one of the coolest elements of her jaw-dropping performance. I don't know what that heart thing was, but I kind of want one to stick on my laptop.
+ Watch Pink perform "Sober" at the VMAs.
+ Watch Pink on the VMA red carpet.

MOST REFLECTIVE/ SELF-REFLEXIVE: TIE! ADRIENNE BAILON & BEYONCE
Get it? GET IT? Because Adrienne, in a Stephen Sprouse dress, used to be in the Cheetah Girls, and Beyonce's wearing mirrors!
+ Watch Beyonce's "Single Ladies" VMA performance.
+ Watch Beyonce on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Adrienne Bailon interview everyone on the red carpet at the VMAs!

MOST THOUGHTFUL TRIBUTE TO FALLEN HOMIES: TIE! KID SISTER & DJ PREMIER
Buzzworthy idol Kid Sister took her red carpet fashion opportunity to pay tribute to the late Aaliyah, wearing in a shirt she bought on Aaliyah.com. Later that night at Lyor Cohen's VMA after party, DJ Premier (pictured with DJ Cassidy) remembered DJ AM by wearing a t-shirt with a photo of them together.
+ Watch Kid Sister discuss her amazing nails on the VMA red carpet.

MOST CASUAL FRIDAY ON SUNDAY: TIE! BRENT BOLTHOUSE & ANDY SAMBERG
Lazy Sunday? More like casual Friday. Brent Bolthouse kept it biznass casual like a BAWSE in Vans on the VMA red carpet, and Andy Samberg was his usually perfectly-bedheaded-and-a-little-unkempt-but not-in-a-way-that-he-smells-and-I-wish-all-guys-dressed-like-this self. I digress.

MOST LIKELY TO BE SEEN SPREAD OUT ON TOP OF A CAR ON HER MYSPACE: AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL'S JADE COLE
I mean, I'm just sayin'...

I took Buzzworthy on the road the other night -- and by "on the road," I mean 11 blocks south -- to the G-Star Raw Spring 2010 show at New York Fashion Week, where I caught up with Gabe Saporta on the red carpet (which he walked with Kara DioGuardi!)

We chatted about the VMAs, and invariably, about Taylor Swift and Kanye's big interruption. Here's what Gabe had to say about Kanye Gate -- "Kanye's crazy! It means he likes you!" and being Team Taylor. (And about looking TOTALLY Don Draper at the VMAs.)

You've seen/memorized Cobra Starship's West Side Story VMA promo video. Now go behind the scenes and underground -- deep, deep beneath Brooklyn -- at the New York City Transit Musem where Cobra Starship shot their 2009 MTV VMA promo spots, and watch Gabe Saporta and Ryland Blackinton discuss the Cobra-created choreography that got trumped by Wade Robson's pro moves, plus Lyrca, unitards, and more stuff "people 'in the biz'" of talking about dance know about. And stay tuned for more VMA promo spots starring the 2009 MTV VMA presenters and performers.

Wrapping up their intimate series of fan questions, Cobra Starship takes on Part 3 of their Buzzworthy Blog fan interview. (In case you missed Part 1 -- Cobra took on the uncanny similarities between themselves and Ashley Tisdale, and Part 2 featured grammar lessons and sex with Carmen Electra!)

Now, with just a few queries left, the boys pull no punches -- although they've pretty much had it with all you greedy multi-question-ers. There needs to be some semblance of order in these situations!

But you fans did kick this one off right by probing Gabe, Alex, and Ryland to find out:

+ Who would the guys go gay for (though apparently Gabe doesn't need to; he is already in a loving relationship)
+ Cobra's "suh-lammin'" outfits and where to find them
+ ... And the fate of a certain fan's panties.

Now that we've all had the long weekend to cool off after the Cobra Starship/ Ashley Tisdale beef, let's take a look at Part 2 of Cobra Starship's Buzzworthy Blog fan interview.

Highlights include:

+ Grammar lessons from Ryland...
+ The great responsibility that comes with naming your kid after Ryland...
+ Cobra's first and lasting impressions of each other...
+ The complete elimination of the color purple...
+ SEX WITH CARMEN ELECTRA!

... And stay tuned for Part 3, coming soon!

Let's put aside the Cobra Starship-versus-Ashley Tisdale beef for a second and take an in-depth, behind-the-scenes look at Cobra Starship's new "Good Girls Go Bad" video, starring Leighton Meester.

And you already know the video involves a deli-turned-speakeasy and blah blah bliggity blah, but did you know that it was shot on Avenue B in the East Village AND that Ryland once worked at an actual deli? And that Alex has a sensitivity to houndstooth? It's true.

Watch two behind-the-scenes clips from the "Good Girls Go Bad" video shoot.

... After the jump, see what made Leighton Meester feel "sexual healing"-y... on the set...

In part 1 of Cobra Starship's HIGHLY anticipated MTV Buzzworthy Blog Q&A, Gabe Saporta, Ryland Blackinton, and Alex Suarez cover the following topics:

+ Guy Ripley!

+ Not skydiving.

+ A camping trip gone horribly wrong.

+ Drinkin' beers and shootin' deers.

But Cobra Starship's interview takes a decidedly ugly turn when the guys answer a question about Ashley Tisdale and the curious and coincidental case of her album, Guilty Pleasure, and her song called "Hot Mess." Um, don't shoot the messenger...

Watch Cobra's Buzzworthy fan Q&A after the jump, and stay tuned for parts 2 and 3.

When they were just here the other day answering your Buzzworthy Blog fan questions, Gabe, Alex, and Ryland revealed a little bit more about more about Cobra Starship's almost-here, almost-ready "Good Girls Go Bad" video, starring Leighton Meester, off their also almost-here, almost-ready album, Hot Mess. (Did you see my sweet inner lip tat on the album cover? Hurt like a B+TCH, but it was worth the glory!)

Anyway, find out more about the impact of the Prohibition Era on Cobra Starship's new video, gambling, carousing, and lots and lots of "cahoots." What does "cahoots" even mean? I don't know, but Gabe says it a LOT in this exclusive Buzzworthy video. Use your context clues. Watch it now, and drink (milk) every time Gabe says it. And stay tuned for the official "Good Girls Go Bad" video and Cobra Starship Buzzworthy fan Q&A videos coming soon too!)
