Much like the name "Digital Girl" suggests, almost no part of Jamie Foxx's "Digital Girl" -- neither the song nor the new "Digital Girl" video, directed by Hype Williams -- was created without digital assistance. Hype Williams' electro-roboto-futuro style may be his calling card as an auteur, but "Digital Girl" is just ridiculous. Wait... I just went back and read what I wrote. Jamie Foxx? Ridiculous? Right. Silly me. Okay! More Drake please! Also, that one model looks FAR too much like Aaliyah for my personal comfort. Awkward.

Watch Jamie Foxx's "Digital Girl" video, featuring Kanye West, The-Dream, and Drake.

+ At last night's BET Awards, Janet Jackson gave a heart-wrenching, emotional tribute to her late brother Michael: "On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for all of your love, thank you for all of your support. We miss him so much. Thank you so much." (MTV News)

+ Michael Jackson had rehearsed in L.A. for his tour the night before his untimely death. Now, video footage of that tour rehearsal may be released as a live CD/ DVD. (MTV News)

+ The Jonas Brothers expressed their condolences to Michael Jackson's family via Twitter, saying "Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of a music hero. R.I.P. Michael Jackson. You have and always will be an inspiration." (Jonas Brothers' Twitter)

+ ... While President Obama sent private condolences to the Jackson family. (Rolling Stone)

+ It looks like, for right now, Michael Jackson's mother will have custody of his three children. (LA Times)

+ Is Michael Jackson's death bringing back magazines? (Huffington Post)

+ Uh, seriously? Do people really have NOTHING better to do than hack into Britney Spears' Twitpic and pretend she died? (MTV News)

+ If you weren't dancing to old-school Michael Jackson classics or emoting to "Man In The Mirror," were at Warped Tour? (SF Weekly)

+ Jamie Foxx dressed like Michael at the BET Awards: Too soon?

We asked We The Kings' Travis and Hunter how their proms went, and while Travis had a major prom faux pas (probably the biggest one next to splitting your pants down the middle), he totally did the right thing and blamed it, Jamie Foxx style.

After the jump, watch Travis and Hunter share their prom memories, and watch Jamie Foxx blame it on everyone and everything.

Plus, get more prom memories from Taking Back Sunday, Honor Society, All Time Low, and more. (Time circuits on. Flux Capacitor... fluxxing. Engine running. All right!...)

NO FAIR! Jojo Simmons -- yes, JoJo of MTV's Run's House (repreSENT!) fame -- TOTALLY GOT OUTSIDE HELP with his new Team Blackout video, "Gotta Have Her."

Just playin'. JoJo Simmons proves he's got the rap skills (do I perhaps hear a budding T.I., minus the legal fail?) in Team Blackout's new video, "Gotta Have Her." And DAMN!! Zach's got that Twista tongue!

Also, check that video-as-film narrative. And THANK YOU, JoJo and Team Blackout for employing that technique but not resorting to Jamie Foxx "Blame It" extremes, mkay?

+ Our cube mate swears he saw Mandy Moore on the street today (trust me, I was miffed that I missed it), but these ultra-hot photos of her somehow suffice. (Details)

+ Turns out Miley Cyrus likes chicken, and it's not what you're thinking. (Just Jared Jr.)

+ In other Miley news, it's "apology not accepted" for her dad Billy Ray Cyrus after what Jamie Foxx said about Miley a few days ago. (Us Magazine)

+ We can't tell if this new report about Leona Lewis being a diva is true or just nasty.  What do you think? (Allie Is Wired)

+ Shakira never had a problem stripping down to nearly nothing -- now she's doing it for a good cause. (Blogamole)

The-Dream's got friends in high places. His "Rockin That Thang" remix just dropped and it's stacked with names -- Rick Ross, Ludacris, Fabolous, Juelz Santana and DJ Khaled -- pretty much a who's who of hip-hop right now. You could call it The- Dream Team and be right in more than one way.

If the cover-shoot-based layout of the Parris (Ludacris, Swizz Beats, Busta Rhymes) -directed video looks familiar, it's probably because a) you've read a magazine before, and b) it's more or less what Kanye and Jamie Foxx did on "Gold Digger." I guess there's also an outside chance that c) one of those many fly girls is your sister or best friend or tutor.

Anyway, when you got an all-star list of collaborators, hopefully you come out with some showstopper rhymes. Here are a few stand-outs:

Fabolous: "Can I call you Nana 'cause you got that rockin' chair?"

Juelz Santana: "Treat you like the first lady, I'll put my Barack in ya!"

Ludacris: "I'm ready to take the Milky Way to your Hershey's Kiss."

Dirty! I'm sure they mean all that literally, and wholesomely. Wholesome like Buzzworthy. Watch that video now.

Remember when Biggie did "One More Chance?" Back in '95 it was the monster jam with Mary J. Blige and Biggie's wife-to-be Faith Evans on the hook. To match its monster-jamness, Biggie enlisted the man, Hype Williams, to direct the video, and called on a whole posse of talent to star. By the time the project wrapped, it included appearances by Heavy D, Da Brat, Jermaine Dupri, Queen Latifah, Tyson Beckford, Aaliyah, Diddy and TONS of others. The all-starred-ness of "One More Chance" was then pretty much unprecedented (unless you're a HUGE Chevy Chase fan).

Is it obvious yet what all this jibba jabba is leading up to? Let's just say it: Jamie Foxx went and made a video so fly, so celebbed out, that even Biggie, on his golden hip-hop throne up thur in the sky, can't touch it.

"Blame It," also directed by Hype Williams, includes performances by Ron Howard, Jake Gyllenhaal, T-Pain, Forest Whitaker, Samuel Jackson, Quincy Jones, Morris Chestnut, Tatyana Ali, Cedric The Entertainer, and more, making it officially the biggest video you ever even heard of. Sorry, Jared Leto. Sorry, Kanye. Thi$ i$ it.

+ Lily Allen (aka "fat" Katy Perry) is, perhaps, a little jealous of all the attention Britney Spears' #1 single "Womanizer" seems to be getting.  So, what better way to steal some of the Pop Princess's thunder than to do a remake!  Of Britney's two month old song!  What the ... ? (Evil Beet)

+ Speaking of Katy Perry, she's very, very, very sorry for calling Lily Allen fat ... she meant "pleasantly plump." (Pop on the Pop)

+ Who was naughty and who was nice at New York radio station Z-100's annual Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden on Friday night?  By our count: Rihanna and Chris Brown = def naughty (treating the crowd to some playful PDA). Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Lady GaGa, Brandy and Leona Lewis = def nice (that is, if "nice" means not making out with anyone else on stage during their performance). (Celebuzz)

+ Kanye West was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Some people ... uhm ... wish that he wasn't. (D Listed)

+ In case you're keeping track, here's our up-to-the-moment status on bump watch '08: Avril Lavigne = not preggo. Janet Jackson = maybe preggo. Mariah Carey = *probably* though no confirmations yet preggo. (Jewssip)

+ It's a Christmas miracle! Guy Ritchie and Madonna decided to make nice-y with each other so the whole fam could be together for the holidays. Guess A-Rod's stuck lightin' the menorah on his own now. Oy. (Jezebel)

+ Diddy helped Jamie Foxx celebrate his 41st birthday on Saturday night at TAO in Las Vegas.  No word on whether or not he was wearing his new cologne I Am King ... you know, the one that was inspired by his own breath? (Rap-Up)

+ Nicole Richie is apparently hard at work on a new album, and she's bringing in Rihanna and Kelly Osbourne to collab.  Guess Paris was too busy with her new BFF. (Perez Hilton)

+ Here's an evil collection of songs that will mos def get stuck in your head (S-O-R-R-Y!) (Buzzfeed)
