Last time we spoke, I wondered whether there was room among the neon names of the new pop explosion - the Hannah Montanas - for the wilder likes of Animal Collective. Surprise, surprise, I got no real answers. Only misdirected anger in the comments section and misspelled sarcasm on disillusioned lolcatz culture blog, Hipster Runoff. So I went looking for my own answers and got a resounding YES from British electro-tart, Little Boots (who also just so happens to have turned up in the comments of the Hipster Runoff post!).

Have you listened to Little Boots yet? Her moody dance music, which would be right at home on the Twilight soundtrack, has charmed the media elites and won her coverage in Pitchfork, VICE and The FADER. But! She's also won over the masses with her incessant blogging and her ongoing series of home videos in which she lays around in pajamas and ... just sings songs. In one, she sincerely covers Miley Cyrus and gives this introduction (with typos intact):

"this song is actually amazing..... how can i possibly to it justice...... SEE YOU AGAIN by HANNAH MONTANNA/ MILEY CYRUS..... what kind of genius can write lyrics 'my best friend lesley said she's just being miley'.... think i might as well give up now."

So, is there really any difference between "indie" and "mainstream" anymore? Little Boots says no. It's 2009! It's all just music! Some of it's good, some of it sucks. Like food. And if you can put pickles on a tuna sandwich, there's no reason that R. Kelly, Plain White T's, Panda Bear and Lil Wayne can't occupy the same iPod, much less the same blog. Trust me, you can definitely get down to "My Girls" with "Hey Delilah" in your head. I've done it. I'm maybe doing it now. Anyway, this is getting ridiculous. Listen to Little Boots. What do you think?

After Miley Cyrus had her "hug-it-out" reunion with Nick Jonas at the Kids' Inaugural, we were left thinking it couldn't get much more shocking than that. That is, until we heard that Miley's being considered to play the role of Snow White in the film adaptation of The Stepsister Scheme.

As far as we're concerned, new year, new boyfriend, new look, and a new movie? DO IT, we say!

Here are the top 5 reasons Miley would be the bestest Snow White ever to hit the forest:

5. She looks great on a horse: Doesn't everyone in Nashville know how to ride horses? Ok, we're not sure about that one, but we bet that Papa Billy Ray Cyrus made darn sure that his lil' lady could giddy-up with the best of 'em. SO, she won't have any problemo keeping up with Sneezy, Dopey, Grumpy, Happy, Sleepy, Bashful and Doc.

4. "Mirror mirror on the wall"... Come on! Do we even really need to go here? MILEY is the fairest one of all.

3. "Take a pic! It will last longer!" Miley was recently spotted on her way to Pilates wearing a tee with these very words. Maybe it was a secret message?! Cause a movie is kinda like a picture. And if she's in one, then we would get to look at her for way longer than we normally would. Soooo... but that logic, she's probably in the movie! (Uh, right?)

2. She could be up against Lindsay Lohan for the part: So between her fights with Samantha Ronson, her cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs daddy, and her leggings side venture, where on earfs would Lindsay find the time to do a movie? Miley is cuh-leerly the better choice.

1. Obviously Snow White = Hannah Montana 2.0, yo!

Miley's already a pretty princess, so please, movie producer people, make it official because we're so ready for another Miley "Breakout."

+ Rihanna was feeling kinda sad after her maybe-fainting-episode last week... so her totally platonic "pal" Chris Brown bought her $800 worth of lingerie to cheer her up! Hey, smooth move, Chris! After all, nothing says "We're just friends" quite like the non-refundable purchase of sexy, lacy undergarments. (Mirror - UK, via I'm Not Obsessed)

+ Miley Cyrus sez Barack Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia may be showing off their acting chops -- as her newest Hannah Montana costars! GOBAMA! (MTV News)

+ Unfortunately, the Obama fam says this is the first they've heard of it. Whoopsers! (MTV News)

+ British pop singer Adele isn't convinced those Jo Bros are as chaste as they'd have you believe. "Millions of girls fancy them!" she recently told Glamour. "If the Jonas Brothers are virgins - then I'm a man." (ContactMusic)

+ Usmagazine.com apologizes to actress Kelly Reilly for "any potential embarrassment" caused by their (mistaken!) report that she and Guy Ritchie have been gettin' it on. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Memo to Amy Winehouse: We'll never make another beehive joke again if you promise to ditch the $5 perm once and for all. (Scandalist)

"Shake It," the new video from Metro Station, is sort of like the musical equivalent of Snakes on a Plane (minus Sam Jackson). Like the much (over)hyped film, it was huge on the Internet before its release, and the premise was actually inspired by online versions posted by the group's fans.

The concept? The band plays to a screaming crowd until the cops break it up. Sounds simple? Sure, but with a dance-or-else track like "Shake It" (you've heard it on the trailer for What Happens in Vegas) you don't exactly need a multimillion dollar special effects team. And regardless of all of Metro Station's showbiz connections -- lead singer Trace Cyrus is Miley's (perhaps you've heard of her?) stepbrother and guitarist Mason Musso's younger bro co-stars on Hannah Montana -- the band's material still stands on its own.

Check out the video and stay tuned for an upcoming Buzzworthy exclusive sit-down with the band.

Cartwheels. Snowball fights. Live performances. Backstage antics. Brotherly love. There's plenty o' eye candy in the Jonas Brothers' new video, "When You Look Me in the Eyes," shot in slow-motion so you can savor every second of the curly-haired cuties.

You'd think the boys would be totally burnt out after crisscrossing the country for months with Miley Cyrus on the nearly-impossible-to-get-tickets-to Best of Both Worlds tour but nope, they're still going strong ... having just kicked off their own tour. Phew ... no wonder they felt the need to slow things down in the video!

While Hannah Montana fans are whipping themselves into a feeding frenzy over anything to do with the mega-popular Disney Channel franchise -- there have practically been knock-down, drag-out fights over concert tickets, and a movie, which opens tomorrow, is setting presale records across the country -- Miley Cyrus is clearly itching to shed her girl-next-door image. She's gotten a makeover -- darkening her hair, straightening her teeth and trading jeans and T-shirts for curve-hugging ensembles. But the red carpet isn't the only place Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter's been showing some skin…

Some (more) rather risqué pics of Miley have been making the rounds. But don't get too excited … they're PG-13 at best. Still … by following in the footsteps of camera crazed celebs like Vanessa Hudgens and Lindsay Lohan, the girl's obviously hoping to make herself a household name -- without pissing off daddy, of course. Maybe she's hoping to appease her pops for a little while longer by officially tweaking her name to Miley Ray Cyrus, proving she's still daddy's little girl ... at least until she turns 18.

miley3.jpgObviously, Hannah Montana isn't a real rock star … but, despite being Billy Ray Cyrus' daughter, Miley Cyrus is … and people have been paying a whole helluva lot of money to see her perform live. So what's this we hear about the Disney star using a body double during her sold-out concerts?

At a recent show, a fan caught Miley on camera phone as she was swept off the stage for a mid-song wardrobe change and immediately replaced by an imposter sporting a wig about as authentic as Britney's weave. The fake Miley then continued to "sing" while spending most of her time with her back toward the audience or with her hair in her face.

OK, so, we're not surprised that there's lip-syncing going on … but for $2,500 a pop, fans should be watching the real deal potentially flub her lines rather than some backup dancer who's getting paid overtime.

Ah, well, as far as faux pas go, at least she's not pregnant or being strapped to a gurney
