Those crazy wax figure cats are at it again. This time in their crosshairs: No Doubt's frontwoman/fashion icon Gwen Stefani. Madame Tussauds in New York City just revealed the "What You Waiting For?" singer's wax figure, and honestly, we think it should put out a workout DVD. Holy abs!

Gwen's wax figure is rocking her Rock Steady-era look (my personal fave), with a white crop top, white pants and studded belt. And let's not forget about the red lips -- nailed it this time, Tussauds. But seriously, we need a side-by-side of Gwen and her wax statue's stomachs. While the wax figure's abs might be shinier (um, is that oil or something?), we're guessing Gwen's famous washboard midsection would actually prove to be more toned. I mean, wax is soft by nature. Gwen's abs are like, made from marble.

One more point we must make: The real Gwen Stefani is 42 years old. See ya at Pilates, everyone reading this!

"L-U-V Madonna!/Y-O-U, you wanna!" No, this isn't my own personalized cheer crafted to express my intense affection for the best pop star of all time, but it is the infectious hook to Madonna's reported new single "Give Me All Your Love." Ever since several clips of the song have found their way onto the internet, the Madonna rumor mill has been working overtime. As of now, no official reports are confirming "Give Me All Your Love" is Madonna's first single. And no official reports are commenting on the rumors that both Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. will appear on the song, and mum's the word on if Madonna will actually be performing at the Super Bowl this coming February. We know -- it's a lot to take in, but we hope any or all of it is true!

"Give Me All Your Love" is, above all, a testament to Madonna's relevance. The Martin Solveig-produced club banger has a thumping, throw-ya-hands-up-in-the-air vibe. It's got some seriously cheertastic moments as well, so we can't help but compare it to Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl." But Madonna's signature vocals immediately stamp this tune as her own: "Don't play the stupid game/Because I'm a different kind of girl/Every record sounds the same/You've got to step into my world." Wait, so is that a dig at the current state of pop music? Or is it simply a metaphor for a perhaps banal relationship with literally the hottest male model we've ever seen her current beau?

Whatever the case may be, the arrival of "Give Me All Your Love" solidifies one thing: Madonna is never going anywhere. Ever. She wins at every song!

It's Tuesday! Time for another round of 5 Must-Hear Pop Songs for the Week!

If you live anywhere near the New England area, you'd know that all hell truly broke loose this Halloween weekend: It snowed! Like, a lot. And suddenly everything got really cold, and all the pumpkins froze, and everything was just such a terrible mess. It was one of the weirdest Halloween celebrations I can ever remember.

To celebrate (or more appropriately, to mourn), I put together a list of must-hear pop tracks that have to do with the cold! And changing seasons. And then a song about being hotter than fire, which is really kind of the opposite effect I was going for, so...let's just go with it.

Here we go!

1.) Charli XCX, "Nuclear Seasons"

Haven't heard of Charli XCX yet? You will soon.

The young chanteuse has slowly made a splash overseas as a club kid in the London underground scene, forming some friendships in high places (acclaimed photographer Rankin considers her as a muse) and landing a spot opening for some cooler-than-cool acts including Peaches and Robyn. In June, Charli XCX dropped the stunning "Stay Away"--a goth-pop track set atop grinding, industrial synthesizers with all the pomp of a funeral procession. The song quickly became a favorite of music bloggers everywhere (and one of the year's best singles by far.)

Now, the 19-year-old goth-pop princess returns with "Nuclear Seasons," due for release later this November. "When you go, please don't leave your love in the sun/My heart will melt away," the young London-bred crooner drones in the opening lines of the hazy synth-pop gem, bringing to mind Gwen Stefani's fresh '80s-inflected solo pop. It's a lighter number than her damning lead single, but the heavy beats -- mixed with Charli's warbling vocals -- still hit a little harder than the bulk of today's radio pop.

Armed with an unexpected frankness and that undeniable "It Girl" factor, this Brit-pop enfant terrible's upcoming debut is rapidly becoming one of the most anticipated releases of 2012.  + LISTEN TO CHARLI XCX, "NUCLEAR SEASONS"

2.) Florence + The Machine, "Spectrum"

Just in time to ring in the Witching Hour, everyone's favorite goddess/songstress Florence Welch has returned with her highly anticipated second studio album, Ceremonials, released on Nov. 1. Much like her debut, Lungs, the album is a triumph of epic proportions (if not even more so), chock-full of witchy cries and damning instrumentation.

"Say my name and every color illuminates/We are shining, and we will never be afraid again," Welch (and a hefty backing choir) bellows during the chorus of "Spectrum," one of the album's brightest highlights. Add in all the spooky bells and whistles (and damning howls--don't forget the damning howls) that made Welch's first attempt so spectacular, and you've got "Spectrum" -- a song that'll either make you want to throw your hands up in praise or cower under the covers in fear. Either way, it works like a charm. + LISTEN TO FLORENCE + THE MACHINE, "SPECTRUM"

While you spent your Halloween weekend scrounging up any kind of costume you could put together from the random items in your closet because you were too lazy to go to the party supply store all week, Gwen Stefani was showing off her INSANELY AMAZING princess costume at a party in L.A. on Saturday. From top to bottom, Gwen's take on a fairy-tale princess is completely spot-on. It's kind of like her "What You Waiting For?" outfit but like, times 100.

OK, so maybe Gwen has a little bit of an upper hand when it comes to creating a Halloween costume -- homegirl runs her own fashion line L.A.M.B. (on top of being the frontwoman of No Doubt and a spending her days as a badass mom). Well, when you think of it that way, maaaaaybe you could have take the time out to pick up some angel wings or something.

It looks like Gwen Stefani is continuing her world tour of perfection and agelessness! The No Doubt lead singer was spotted picking up some goodies from a bakery in London this weekend, and she was doing so in pants that would look horrible on literally every other person on the planet. Gwen's all, "Diaper-like pinstripe trousers? I'll give it a shot." And boom, they work.

Gwen was taking her baked goods to another Gwyneth's house -- Gwyneth Paltrow's. Yes, Gwen Stefani is not only gorgeous and mega talented and married to another seemingly ageless hottie (Gavin Rossdale), but she also snacks on scones with Gwyneth Paltrow. I cannot even begin to imagine what that coffee talk must sound like: "Isn't it so cool basically like, being perfect at everything all the time?" Must be rough.

We're calling your bluff, Gwen Stefani. There's NO WAY today is your 42nd birthday. It's impossible. Where are you hiding them years?! To us, you're still the sexiest part of No Doubt. Just the other day we reminisced about your "Spiderwebs" moments (almost 20 years ago?!). You inspired girls to wear white tanks and go platinum while convincing us that it was no biggie to be the lead singer in a band full of dudes.

Even now, in your so-called "40s," you remind us that just because you're a mother, it doesn't mean you have to dress like one. You're still a fashion icon! Sure, you may be more interested in designing kids' clothes at the moment, but your years of success with L.A.M.B. speak for themselves. Coolest mom EVER.

So go celebrate your day! Maybe take your ridiculously adorable children out for ice cream or grab a bite with your insanely hot husband, Gavin Rossdale. Better yet, how about just strutting the streets with your gorgeous family to remind the rest of the world that you still got it while harboring the secret of everlasting youth. Happy birthday, Gwen!

2.) Gwen Stefani announced the launch of the Harajuku Mini collection for Target -- a Japanese street style clothing line for babies and kids. There are tutus and patent-leather Mary Janes. Please don't judge us if we try to squeeze into a pair. (MTV Style)

3.) President Obama knows how to throw some awesome house parties. First he invited rapper Common to the White House a few months ago, and then asked B.o.B to perform at a recent benefit. How do we get on that Evite list?  (Rap-Up)

4.) Happy Birthday, Hilary Duff! In honor of the mom-to-be's big day, here's a photo flashback. Warning: Tears will be shed! Lizzie McGuire grew up way too fast! (Huffington Post)

6.) Billboard announces their "21 Under 21: Music's Hottest Minors of 2011" list. Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus make the cut. We'd say "Cheers," but it feels a little inappropriate seeing that the majority of them can't even get into a bar. (Billboard)

9.) We can't decide if Robert Pattinson should keep his beard or go smooth. We CAN decide that he looks HOT either way. (Us Magazine)

10.) There are times we ask ourselves why we can't remember important math equations or state capitals. It's likely because our brains are full of more useful things, like the 20 most painfully unforgettable theme songs ever made. Thanks, TV. (BuzzFeed)

I remember back in the '90s when I would come home from middle school and see No Doubt's "Spiderwebs" video playing on MTV. Half of me was like, "Who is this crazy chick?" and half of me was like, "I want to be this crazy chick." Nearly 20 years later, not much has changed! Gwen Stefani is still the epitome of cool. Pretty sure she will be forever, guys.

Gwen was spotted arriving at a doctor's office in London yesterday, and she's in the perfect seasonal outfit -- black loafers, black skinnies and a black bag paired with a Cosby-inspired sweater, a peacoat and a leather jacket. And this is just her doctor's office outfit. Not fair.

Looks like somewhere in the world is actually experiencing the season known as fall and isn't still sweating through their underwear on the way to work like most of America right now (SO JEALZ). Although when you're Gwen Stefani, I guess you can just fly to where they actually experience somewhat non-disgusting weather. Must be nice.

+ Spotted: Jay-Z and Beyoncé were at the U.S. Open yesterday for the men's final. The parents-to-be were all smiles, as you should be when you're Jay-Z and Beyoncé. (Rap-Up)

+ So it was not wedding bells, at least at the moment, for Wiz Khalifa and his girlfriend Amber Rose. Their wedding attire photos that made rounds on the net were just them celebrating Khalifa's birthday. (MTV News)

+ Judging from photos of Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B. line and reports of Victoria Beckham's designs during New York Fashion Week, looks like sleek casual is in. Am I the only one still holding out for sweatpants chic? (MTV Style)

+ Yesterday we linked to Selena Gomez photos from a recent performance, and a photo snapped from it looked like she might've gotten her beau Justin Bieber's first name tattooed to her wrist. Turns out it was the wash-off kind. (E!)

If you'll allow me to be frank for one second: W-T-effing-F? Look at this photo of Gwen Stefani with her son Zuma at a park in Los Angeles from earlier today and tell me this is not actually a 28-year-old woman! Fine, you will tell me that this is not a 28-year-old woman because you have the internet, and Wikipedia will tell you that No Doubt's leading lady is somehow, someway 41 FLIPPING YEARS OLD!

I keep telling myself that if I eat enough Lycopene-filled tomatoes and drink enough gallons of water, I, too, can reverse osmosis my face or whatever. But I don't know if that's possible! I think what it takes to look as good as Gwen Stefani at 41 is a really hot husband (she's got one -- Gavin Rossdale), a really cool life (again, check Wikipedia) and enough money to sleep in a vat of Creme de la Mer every night. Well bing, bang, boom -- Gwen has all the bases covered.
