In response to the overwhelmingly successful launch of the Nike / Kanye West collab, Air Yeezy, our buddies over at mtvU have put in some calls (wink, wink) to the U.S. patent office and gotten the early buzz on some upcoming celebrity sneaker designs. Among them is the "J-Threezy," a Jonas Brothers model that they describe this way:

Sensible. Fashionable. Parent-approved. The J-Threezy teaches the young active male what older siblings and dads never could: girls pay attention to your shoes. The Brothers Jonas know this. Get these and then invest in a keeping-away stick.

Your sarcasm doesn't go unappreciated, mtvU, but we've already seen custom JoBro watches, t-shirts and even milkshakes. And remember those Tokio Hotel shoes? Maybe this doesn't have to be a pipe dream! Maybe one day we could really all take a walk in the Jonas Brothers' sh --  Wait! That's way too cliche! I take it back! What I meant to say was, how much would you pay for a pair of custom JoBros? And what do you think they would look like? Can shoes wear vests? You're the experts. Weigh in!

Poor Miley Cyrus! The insight she gives us into her A-list life in her "Fly On the Wall" video -- she can't even go see Bolt without getting harassed by photo-happy paps -- makes me think she could seriously benefit from a cute little spy cam to give the paps a dose of their own drama.

(Plus, Miley's jewelry is the best! The beaded necklaces she wore to the Bolt premiere were perfection, and I still want that sweet little purple ring from her "7 Things" video.)

Anyway, Fred Flare's teensy little camera ring, is a recession-bustin' $10 flat, meaning that even if you're not the 35th most-powerful celeb, you can still scrounge for that kinda change within the depths of your couch.

(It doesn't actually take photos, but maybe that's a good thing.)

OH YEAH, and I don't know what you're doing New Year's Eve, but Miley's spending New Year's with MTV (yay!) and a VERY lucky fan. In their bedroom. PERFORMING LIVE. FOR REAL-for real! Check it out!

Tom Wolfe he ain't, and as fetching as that man looks in a white suit, Tom never wrote a verse like "Christina Aguilera better switch me chairs so I can sit next to Carson Daly and Fred Durst and hear 'em argue over who she..." you get the point.

So, Eminem's book, The Way I Am, ($24-ish at Barnesandnoble.com or Amazon.com) is, uh, ... less an autobiography (like, we're not even talking Slash levels here) and more a glossy collection of production notes and mementos bound into a yearbook that showcases his preternatural collection of middle-finger photos.

The best quote of the book? "My old manager and I wound up falling out over a Whopper sandwich. Manager dude was going to Burger King, and he didn't ask me if I wanted anything to eat, knowing I had no money. I didn't have a dollar in my f-----g pocket. At that point I said, F--- it, you know? What kind of a f------g manager are you?" WORD LIFE!

There is also an amazing centerfold devoted to how intense Eminem feels about horses. ("Horses and me, we don't get on too well. I wouldn't f--- with a horse. If a horse dissed me, I wouldn't say anything back.") Not making that up either.

Anyway with quotes like that and photos of Eminem's pre-Taco Bell ass, it is a book that makes me thank GOD the printing press was invented. It won't fit into your stocking, but it should look lovely alongside most standard-issue menorahs. Enjoy!

There's nothing not to love about Katy Perry's "Hot N Cold" video -- it's got suhweet '80s dance moves and full-on fluoro, a bawlin' bridesmaid in drag, a giant hotdog, girls hula hooping at the speed of sound, Katy in a break-away wedding dress, bike chases, and a REAL LIVE ZEBRA.

And if that weren't enough, Katy changes clothes ... like a girl... changes clothes. And she also changes looks. And one of her "Hot N Cold" style standouts is her "I Love the '80s" lime-green eyes and peachy-pink lips. But how to achieve without a record label video budget? Without being Katy Perry?

Easiness! Dust on MAC's Golden Olive eyeshadow pigment ($19.50), a few swipes of MAC's Sandy B lipstick ($14.00), and seal the deal with MAC's Love Nectar Lustreglass gloss (also $14.00) for some extra shine. Then make a mad dash for the altar. Travis McCoy not included.

In all fairness, Bella hardly needs shoes what with all that flying around on Edward's back, but IRL, Twilight's Kristen Stewart's a fan of TOMS Shoes, and also in real life, for every pair of TOMS Shoes you buy, TOMS gives back a pair to a child in need. Now, I ain't no mathlete (where's Alice when you need her?), but I'm pretty sure that's a 1:1 ratio right there!

TOMS silver glitter slip-ons are festively fun and perfect for unwrapping holiday goodies (carefully though, so you don't cut yourself and almost cause a vampire feeding frenzy!), and they're just $48 at TOMS Shoes. And seriousola, Twilighters, you deserve a little something nice after all of your undying Twilight madness collectively earned you the coveted position of MTV News' Woman of the Year!

Similary, check out Perry Farrell's "Go All the Way (Into the Twilight)" video from the #1-selling Twilight soundtrack. (That pomegranate's a metaphor for DOIN' IT... just in case you didn't pick up on that subtlety.)

Next up on our we've-been-good-so-give-us-stuff holiday list: two items perfect for the Tokio Hotel fan on your list -- namely, yourself.

Chinese brand Ospop -- the name stands for One Small Point of Pride -- is the braintrust behind the Tianlang trainers shown above in Carbon. The red symbol on the hi-tops is the Chinese character "Gong," which means "labor" or "work," but it also looks a lot like the logo of your favorite band, does it not? The obscenely comfy sneaks are perfect for hopping out of helicopters (I mean... don't try it at home -- just watch "Monsoon" instead!), riding monster trucks, standing in line for shows, and writing angry letters to Perez Hilton. They're $76, and part of the proceeds go to a scholarship fund in Wen County, where the shoes are made. Ready? Set? Buy 'em online!

Okay, first, that is NOT my hand (it's Daniel's, if you were wondering), but it IS an O.D.M. "Mysterious" watch, and you can program it to say ANYTHING you want. So I took the opportunity to exercise some creative license, and I programmed mine to say to "Tokio Hotel Fur Immer." And, because it's made of magic (and rubber), when you flick it, it switches back and forth between the personalized TH message and the date and time. It's like major grosses kino for your wrist! Get your own for $115. And if all that's too much for you to deal with, just learn to tell time in Japanese for $19 with Fred Flare's talking watches. Or, get one for Bill, because he looks kinda mad (and bad-ass) in that photo.

Today's present for you/ us is brought to you by the Jonas Brothers, menswear, the letter "V," and the adorably obviously fashion fact that no one can rock a vest like Nick, Kevin, and Joe -- especially Joe. (And sometimes Lil Wayne!)

But you're a perfect runner-up. Which is why you should pick up this Brunette Vest from ModCloth.com:

It's a cool $39.99 (but they're giving you 15% off today only with promo code "final15" - ho ho ho!), and while the plaid button-down front says "Joe Jonas at the 2008 VMAs," (watch their "Lovebug" performance below) the crocheted back is all Demi Lovato. Kevin Jonas ice cream man bow tie, sideburns sold separately.

And because finding photos of any or all of the Jonas Brothers wearing vests is like shooting fish in a barrel, here are a few faves from our vast Jonas Brothers archives:

They say it's more rewarding to give than receive, but who are THEY, and what do THEY know? BUZZWORTHY knows that it's more AWESOME to get than give, so that's why we've compiled a holiday list of s*** we wanna get, inspired by the girls -- and guys -- who have it all -- Britney, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Tokio Hotel, the Jonas Brothers, and more.

So, last week we told you that Britney's "Circus" necklace is by Italian designer Love Sex Money AND that it's $1000, and that it's probably way out of the reach of any normal folk. BUT, multifaceted, multitalented Los Angeles designer Candace Ang -- she's a jewelry, accessories, and fashion designer, and she's working on a fragrance too -- has a pearl ruffian bib necklace that can be yours (or mine!) for just $178! Get it at CandaceAng.Etsy.com.

So, Beyonce's "Single Ladies" metal robo hand -- it's by French designer Thierry Mugler -- is both cool and scary. I wouldn't really want to wear the entire glove (prolly hard to type in, I'd imagine), but a few pieces of intimidating alloy might rock: New York designer Meredith Kahn's for her Made Her Think jewelry has earned her a cult following (Posh and Becks, Cameron Diaz, Angelia Jolie, and Scarlett Johansson are fans, and Zooey Deschanel's wearing a Made Her Think necklace in the current issue of Complex). Check up on this badass Made Her Think talon ring:

It's covered in Swarovski crystals, and it fits over two fingers, so it's like two rings for the price of one! Put Made Her Think's ring on for just $77, and check back soon for more s*** we wanna get!
