Recently in the Twitterverse, Spectacular star Simon Curtis (@simoncurtis) showed Avan Jogia (BOTH Buzzworthy crushes!) how to use Twitter! @MTVBuzzworthy teaching Avan how to Twitter -- Simon is totally Web 2.0, and Avan is totally 2.NO! Avan, get ON THE TWITTER TRAIN! CHEW CHEW!

Ashlee Simpson (@ashwentz) is mesmerized by baby Bronx: i wish i could record every amazing thing bronx does, and watch it over, and over.

Meanwhile Pete Wentz (@ztnewetep) wants to fly to the Congo and see what's up for himself.

Oh, and the INTERNET thinks that Twitter caused Jennifer Aniston to dump John Mayer (@johncmayer). Picky, aren't we?

Furthermore, Dave Navarro (@davenavarro6767) is drinking coffee and is either bored or on a message bored: Having coffee, lurking on the bored, up WAY too early

... And if this is really Dave Grohl (@davidgrohl), then I wish he'd Twitter more.

Also, if you too send me this albeit hilarious (and painfully true) Current TV Twitter video today, you will be the 123848b'thousandth person to do so, mkay?

+ Just in time for Valentine's Day! Maybe scuzzy paparazzo Adnan Ghalib will be sending Britney Spears a crappy drugstore sampler of chocolates after all, since... you know... they still "share something really special." Like a restraining order. (Evil Beet)

+ The Jonas Brothers' right-hand lady (besides Mama Denise) is jumping ship! Their assistant, Felicia Culotta, who started off as Britney's assistant, is leaving Camp Jonas to rejoin Camp Britney. Big Rob, don't you go leaving the Jonases too! (E! Online)

+ Makeup mogul 50 Cent is taking this whole Foxy Brown feud a leeeetle too seriously, no? (Towel Road)

+ Miley Cyrus <3s all Asians, and she told you she's very sorry if certain photos gave certain impressions that she doesn't like Asians, and to show you much she loves Asians, she went and ate sushi. (Celebuzz)

+ John Mayer has a special birthday pressie for Jennifer Aniston, who turns 40 today: a song he wrote just for her. We really hope JM doesn't make his "stank face" when he sings it to her. (Celebuzz)

+ BREAKING: you will never be able to get tickets to anything ever again. Live Nation and Ticketmaster have merged. (Idolator)

+ Despite the fact that we are more than happy to accept all donations of cash, clothing, or other luxury goods (leave deets in the comments, plz), American Idol winner Fantasia Barrino has received absolutely nada -- especially from judge Simon Cowell, thank you very much. (Perez Hilton)

+ Sad panther Lily Allen says celebrity has gotten in the way of her everyday life. "There are some things I just can't do any more," she laments. "Like when I've had sex, I can't go to the sexual health clinic... I can't go to a shop to get condoms." At least she's keepin' it clean! (The Mirror - UK)

+ Semi-related side note: the clinically-deprived Allen recently propositioned Simon Cowell via "accidental" text message. (Simon, please see above.) (Scandalist)

+ Hayden Panettiere is reportedly stepping out on boyfriend Milo Ventimiglia with singer Jesse McCartney. Anyone else thinking improvement? (Radar)

+ Zac Efron plays a 40-year-old trapped in a teenager's body for his new flick, 17 Again. So how'd he get into character? "I tried to do a few things that I learned from my dad — things that he thinks are cool but are really dorky." Way to make your old man proud, dude. (MTV News)

+ Da Ringmasters get bounced from ABDC land for being overly circus freaky. (Remote Control)

+ Watch out, Amy Winehouse -- looks like Blake Fielder-Civil's stepping up his divorce game. So far, the ordinarily degenerate druggie has already hired a "top lawyer," compiled "a file of Amy's errors" and contacted "the men Amy’s meant to have slept with." (Perez Hilton)

+ John Mayer admits that he and girlfriend Jennifer Aniston occasionally have "sleepovers" and says her crazy/high-tech pad is like something out of Inspector Gadget. (Usmagazine.com)

+ T-minus two days til T.I. rocks the Grammy stage with Jay-Z, Kanye West and Lil Wayne. Lookin' forward to (finally!) seeing that "Swagga," Tip! (MTV News)

When you think depressing, lovelorn lyrics and melancholy Regina Spektor-y lullabies, the words "romantic comedy" don't necessarily come to mind. Fortunately for sensual songstress Erin McCarley, soul-crushing rejection just happens to be the basis for information age-y new flick, He's Just Not That Into You.

Check out McCarley's new video, "Love, Save The Empty," and watch for scenes from the SATC-inspired film, where gorgeous Hollywood stars (like Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore) pretend to be hopelessly undateable. Sure, it's momentarily jarring, unrealistic, and borderline offensive. But one look at Jennifer Aniston and, suddenly, it all makes sense.

+ Looks like Madonna won't be needing that Christmas gift subscription to Match.com after all. We thought Madge and A Rod were TLF, but perhaps the Material Girl prefers the variety pack approach to her lurve life: meet her (maybe?) newest conquest, hottie hott male model Jesus Luz. (DListed)

+ John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston made kissyface in New York this weekend. After seeing how fab Ms. Aniston looks in her berfday suit on the cover of GQ this month, it really kinda puts a whole new spin on that "Your Body Is a Wonderland" song. (Pink Is the New Blog)

+ Is Britney Spears' baby daddy Kevin Federline trying to ditch his "Womanizer"-ly antics and settle down again? Based on his drinkin'/ dancin'/ carousin' with sexy beach volleyball player Victoria Prince in Vegas this weekend, I think we can safely say that the answer to that query is: Kevin Federline LOVES to party. (The Superficial)

+ What are your resolutions for 2009? For Kanye West, NOT beating the living crap out of any paparazzi (and also, we're guessing, not going to prison) is tops on his list. (Starpulse)

+ In answer to that age old question: Do blondes really have more fun? New mama Ashlee Simpson says: Ay mami! (Jezebel)

+ Christina Aguilera celebrated her 28th birthday last week with A Clockwork Orange-themed party. Wow. I guess it's a good thing Mr. Blackwell passed away earlier this year and never had a chance to see these pics, because this might have really done him in. (Defamer)

+ Whether or not Diddy can "save 30 Rock" remains to be seen, but in the meantime, he's using his guest appearance on CSI: Miami as an opportunity to remind us all how awesome he is (and to make bizarre references to baseball). (Remote Control)

+ Perhaps the stork is not gonna pay Janet Jackson a visit after all -- Jermaine Dupri took to his blog to swear (yet again!) that Ms. Jackson is definitely not preggers. (Rap-Up)

+ It's Monday ... and that sucks. But watch a few mins of Charley the differently-abled (but still totally cool) cat, and I promise you he'll turn that frown upside down. (Videogum)

+ Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson deny whispers that they're having trouble unloading Bronx Mowgli Wentz's baby pics. Also? Shame on you! These are precious memories, people -- they're totally not for sale ... at least, not yet. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Meanwhile, Demi Lovato's peeps are denying nasty internet rumors that the wholesome Camp Rock star is also a "cutter." (MTV News)

+ Miley Cyrus got her mom's old Porsche as a belated bday present?? Best. Hand-me-down. Ever. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Holy celebrity cameo! Was that Miss Aubrey O'Day poppin' by 50 Cent's new show last nite? (Remote Control)

+ Here are five of your fave Britney Spears videos for no reason whatsoever. Happy Friday! (Scandalist)

+ Amy Winehouse's drug dealer is officially off the streets -- and behind bars. Hey, just like Amy's husband, Blake! (E! Online)

+ SNL hottie Andy Samberg is teaming back up with Justin "D--k In a Box" Timberlake for his new comedy album, Incredibad. (MTV News, via AceShowbiz)

+ Ever dream about getting culinary pointers from Sonic Youth? (Wait, you actually have?? Weird!) Anyhow, your wish has officially been granted. Freak. (The Trip Wire)

+ "It's definitely true that we're totally gay." -- Panic At the Disco's Spencer Smith (Out.com)

+ Miley Cyrus really, really, really wants her driver's license. But first, she'll need to learn how to parallel park. And, more importantly, to ace her (mandatory) DMV photo sesh. "I don't really want to go get my picture taken," admits the red carpet veteran. "It's, like, really hard to pick out your outfit." (MTV News)

+ Elvis Presley may have left the building --  but he hasn't gone too far. Last year the no-longer-living legend still managed to rake in a whopping $52 million. Which, incidentally, is approximately $10 million more than Madonna OR Justin Timberlake. (CMT)

+ And speaking of Madonna, did she and A-Rod really have a supa secret rendez-vous at Jerry Seinfeld's Hampton McMansion? And if so, why weren't we invited?? (Usmagazine.com)

+ Apparently, Jennifer Aniston is angry at Pink for yelling at John Mayer for dating stupid women. Or something. (Showbiz Spy)

+ FYI, that wasn't Beyonce who jumped on stage, flashed her giant rock and danced to "Single Ladies" during Jay-Z's set the other night. It was her imaginary alter-ego, Sasha. Phew, glad we cleared that up! (EurWEB)

+ 16-year-old Disney phenom Selena Gomez to star in two major motion pictures that will be produced by...Selena Gomez's brand new production company. (Hollyscoop)

+ 50 Cent says the inspiration for his new video, "Get Up" came from Will Smith's apocalyptic thriller, I Am Legend. (MTV News)

+ Miley Cyrus is still refusing to confirm that she and 20-year-old Justin Gaston are more than friends. That said, she's not afraid to (a) admit he's a total hottie, (b) coyly point out that "everything is, like, really good," and (c) cut herself off by saying: "I'm totally gushing right now!" (Gossip Girls)

+ Rumor has it exes Mandy Moore and DJ AM are getting back together! Good thing, too, since they've apparently been PDAing all over town. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Zac Efron can't wait to strap on his dancing shoes and reprise Kevin Bacon's role as rebellious two-stepper Ren McCormack in the upcoming Footlose remake. Also, he's keeping his fingers crossed for that ahoy matey role in Pirates 4. (MTV News)

+ Is Jennifer Aniston forcing John Mayer to choose between his Friend-with-benefits and his blog? (OK!)

+ The always-opinionated musician/blogger John Mayer has nothing but love, support and unabashed admiration for pal (and pops-to-be) Pete Wentz. "You're one of the best eggs in the music industry, hands down," Mayer writes on his website, adding: "I think the world of you...Best to you and your lovely wife." (John Mayer's blog, via PerezHilton)

+ Meanwhile, Mayer's ex (and Wentz's new sister-in-law!) Jessica Simpson has reportedly warned his rumored new girlfriend Jennifer Aniston that Mayer can be a bit of a "ladies-man." (Entertainmentwise)

+ Could Coldplay frontman, Chris Martin, be any more humble? When asked about the group's success, he replied, "After the last record I felt like God, I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band ... We still haven't done anything I think is that good yet." We beg to differ! (The Press Association)

+ The Pussycat Dolls' catchy new single ("When I Grow Up") is about doing whatever it takes to become famous. Isn't honesty refreshing? (Imeem)

+ And Rihanna's latest track, "Disturbia," makes us wonder whether she's taking artistic license, or just overdosing on reruns of My So-Called Life. (That Grape Juice)

+ Turns out, everyone's a winner on American Idol. Even hometown hero -- and fourth place finisher -- Jason Castro. (Mollygood)

+ Forget about Dr. Phil! Now, Britney Spears is getting parenting advice from ... the Supernanny? (Hollywood Rag)

+ Excited for the 2008 MTV Movie Awards? You should be. Especially now that Coldplay and The Pussycat Dolls are both confirmed performers. (MTV)
