Um, Jennifer Lopez is FORTY years old, a wife, and a mother of two, and she can NAIL YOU TO THE WALL with sex appeal. Case in point: "Fresh Out The Oven," where Jennifer Lopez stars as Lola -- a playful, flirty, sex kitten side side of Jennifer Lopez, as opposed to the wife-and-mom side or the golden goddess we see on the red carpet.

"Fresh Out The Oven," Pitbull, will be featured on Jennifer Lopez's upcoming album, Love?, and it's a throwback to her dance hall/ dance-chart days and a reminder that she'll always be that fly girl.

From wet paint to silver spikes to see-through lace and snoods, fashion at the 2009 MTV VMAs was avant garde, revealing, and capable of drawing blood (and at times all three!)

Check out the best, the weirdest, and the barely dressed at the 2009 MTV VMAs. It's Buzzworthy's first-ever VMA Fashion Awards! And check out PART 2, with fashion wins by Beyonce, Madonna, Olivia Palermo and more!

BEST USE OF SILVER: SHORT FORM: KRISTIN CAVALLARI
True, she wasn't a nominee, and she's not a musician, but resident Hills villianess Kristin Cavallari stole the show before it even started in her silver sequined mini dress.
+  Watch Kristin on the VMA red carpet.

BEST USE OF SILVER: LONG FORM: TAYLOR SWIFT
Taylor Swift, in a Kaufman Franco dress accented by Lorraine Schwartz jewelry, went for a silver-screen siren look and lived out a fairy tale adventure that night, braving Cinderella hardships up against Kanye but emerging the belle of the ball by the end of the night. (TEAM TAYLOR!)
+ Watch Taylor Swift on the VMA red carpet.

MOST DANGEROUSLY SEXY: KATY PERRY
Katy Perry followed the night's silver trend, but took it to a potentially painful level in her spiked silver mini dress by The Blonds.
+ Watch Katy Perry on the VMA red carpet.

MOST SUBTLE: AMBER ROSE
Get it? Subtle? Because Amber Rose wasn't subtle at all! Paradoxically though, she managed to cover up her almost her entire body while exposing almost her entire body all at the same time! Maybe she really IS from another planet.

LEAST IN NEED OF SLEEVES: JENNIFER LOPEZ
This Louis Vuitton situation reminds me of when you get your neck stuck in an armhole, except usually when that happens you're free to experience your shame in the privacy of a dressing room. Not on a red carpet. Oh wells. At least Jennifer Lopez's makeup was fuh-lawless.
+ Watch Jennifer Lopez on the VMA red carpet.

MOST NEAR A WARDROBE MALFUNCTION: KERI HILSON
Keri Hilson, in a Charlotte Ronson jumpsuit, certainly has the body for the peekaboo sensation, but still, I saw her hugging lil Justin Bieber on the red carpet, and I was bracing myself for a "big reveal."
+ Watch Keri Hilson on the VMA red carpet.

CUTEST NEWCOMER: JUSTIN BIEBER
Squee!
+ Watch Justin Bieber explain how he's "just wearing clothes" on the VMA red carpet.

MESSIEST/ MOST PAINTERLY: TIE! PEREZ HILTON & THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS' TYSON RITTER
Perez, in a tea garden blazer, went all matchy-matchy, carefully coordinating his yellow Doc Marten boots to coordinate with his... hands. Tyson Ritter had a run-in with some arts supplies. Rawk.
+ Watch Perez Hilton and The All-American Rejects on the VMA red carpet.

Recently, more's been made of Jessica Simpson's weight and denim cut-off short shorts than the fact that Arizona State University denied President Obama an honorary degree. Vanity Fair writer Rich Cohen even managed to use the word "fat" three times in one paragraph in his recent Jessica Simpson profile! Wow. It took him several more PARAGRAPHS to even get to the word "beautiful," which feels like a bit of an oversight, no?)

Seriously, who CARES how much Jessica Simpson weighs? Sure, she should've fired her stylist over the Mom Jeans incident of January 2009, but the girl was born gorgeous and looks great at any weight. And Jessica Simpson in short-shorts? Even better. Hello? She even PLAYED Daisy Duke. Why? Because girl's got legs for months.

So, while ASU skipped over Obama, we're giving Jessica Simpson Buzzworthy's all-time favorite short-shorter award. And she's also the official inspiration behind some of our all-time favorite short-shorts videos by Katy Perry, Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Vanessa Hudgens, Gwen Stefani, Aerosmith and more...

Jessica Simpson -- "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" -- True, The Dukes of Hazzard movie was a total flop (or a box office smash if you're measuring it against the Glitter yardstick!) but Jessica did get in absolutely bananas shape to play Daisy Duke in the movie and its resultant video, which was so overtly sexy (duh -- Brett Ratner directed it) that it ended up banned in several countries. And true, the remake doesn't do the original much justice (I'm fairly confident the Nancy Sinatra version doesn't mention anything about "double Ds"), but sharing a set with Willie Nelson and the General Lee is still worth something, right? (Right?)

Katy Perry -- "Hot 'N' Cold" -- Katy Perry pulled off an impressive feat in her "Hot 'N" Cold" video; she managed to wear short-shorts in just about EVERY scene, including the scene where she tears off her wedding dress to reveal a hidden pair of white short-shorts -- which wind up being the perfect thing to wear while chasing her wayward groom down the street. And walking a zebra, obvs.

Britney Spears -- "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know" -- I won't let YOU be the last to know that at NO point in her 2001 "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know" beach video, directed by the late Herb Ritts (he also directed Madonna's "Cherish" and Chris Isaak's "Wicked Game" videos) does Britney wear pants at ALL. In just a bikini top and a pair of I-can't-believe-they're-not-drawers cut-off shorts, Britney rolls around in the sand with French model Brice Durand. The video resulted in a TRL #1 hit for Britney, as well as what was probably a LOT of sand stuck inside dark, uncomfortable places.

Christina Aguilera -- "Can't Hold Us Down" -- Christina Aguilera rocked an extreme... ly short pair of pink ones in her 2003 video, "Can't Hold Us Down." But what Christina lacked in shorts she made up for with old-school knee-high tube socks. True to the named Stripped -- Christina's 2002 album which featured "Can't Hold Us Down" -- Lil' Kim, who guested on the track and co-stars in the video -- puts Christina's short-shorts to shame when she throws open her robe and reveals little more than a teeny weeny bikini. And a superfluous belt. She's subtle, that Kim!

Beyonce -- "Crazy In Love" -- In her 2003 "Crazy In Love" video, featuring Jay-Z, Beyonce wears a pair of barely there denim short-shorts. And my guess is that her choreographer stuffed the pockets of said shorts with fire ants because Beyonce writhes around on the ground, spazzes out, and almost twerks her way out of those shorts for nearly the entire duration of the time she spends in them. "Crazy In Love" won three 2003 VMAs (the VMAs where Britney and Madonna made out!) by the way -- Best R&B Video, Best Choreography, and Best Female Video.

Keri Hilson -- "Knock You Down" -- Keri Hilson looks like she frequently skips dessert and never skips a workout. Plus, if you've seen her "Energy" video, then you're fully aware that she's a lady boxer. (Plus, she shleps around a CRAPload of nail polish everywhere she goes.) Therefore her short-shorts are practically a necessity.

Vanessa Hudgens -- "Sneakernight" -- Which did you notice first in Vanessa Hudgens' "Sneakernight" video? Vanessa's light-up sneakers, or her micro-mini super-duper short-shorts? Or the fact that "Sneakernight" sounds exactly like Nikka Costa's "Like A Feather"?

Last week, Buzzworthy Bestie Justin Tranter of Semi Precious Weapons had pretty much the BEST week ever! After Kate Moss personally invited him to a Topshop VIP party, where he danced with Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony (I. SWEAR!), he got invited to a Stevie Nicks listening party at Greenhouse in New York, where he MET the legendary woman herself. And if you DON'T know who Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac are, let's both please take a moment to feel sorry for you. Go on... I'll wait...

Okay. Read  what Justin Tranter emailed me about meeting the unparalleled Stevie Nicks!

I get invited to a lot of cool things 'cus I've been pounding the pavement of New York City in four-inch heels for a LONG time. But when I got invited to meet STEVIE NICKS at her Sound Stage Sessions listening party I almost died. She is truly one of my biggest inspirations ever. I have every Fleetwood Mac and Stevie Nicks record and DVD. It's almost an issue! Haha.

I called my girl CariDee English from America's Next Top Model, Marc Jacobs model and actor Jimmy Knehans, and my girls Krista and Jen and said 'We HAVE to go!' Me, Caridee and Jimmy schwerked the red carpet while waiting for the gold dust queen of rock 'n' roll to arrive. She made a grand but VERY loving entrance.

After she took photos and signed some things for charity I got to meet her. She was SO sweet and actually wanted to chat. She told me that I looked gorgeous, and that 'the world is going to want to hear real rock 'n' roll soon, so keep on fighting the good fight. Take whatever comes your way in such a weird time in the industry, economy and world.'

Whoa! Stevie Nicks. F**ing Stevie Nicks! My mom is going to be so mad she wasn't with me!

+ Plus: Check out...Buzzworthy's Topshop shopping spree with Ida Maria and Justin Tranter's Buzzworthy Style File, and Buzzworthy's Party Patrol Teyana Taylor and Jay Lyon spottings! And, watch 20 Fleetwood Mac videos!

For the fashion oblivious out there, put DOWN the Lands' End catalog and PAY attention! Topshop -- the British retail authority on fast, fun, and (basically) affordable fashion, the chain adored by stylish sorts of every tax bracket, the must-shop stop for every fashion-forward American tourist visiting London (including Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Rihanna, Emma Roberts, Jennifer Hudson, and Taylor Momsen, and Christina Aguilera's been rumored to have been in talks to design for the store) heretofore scorned by pouty Americans due to geographic undesirability -- IS FINALLY OPEN IN NEW YORK!

Trust me, those of you who still don't know what I'm talking about, Topshop's Stateside opening is a Very Big Deal. So big that KATE MOSS, who's designed for Topshop, showed up to the opening. Jennifer LOPEZ and Marc Anthony toured the store. The City's Olivia Palermo shopped the shoe section at a VIP shopping event last night. DEBBIE HARRY was there! (DEBBIE HARRY, THE ONE WHO WAS IN BLONDIE!!!) Hopeful shoppers lined up outside the store at the crack of dawn today waiting for Topshop's doors to -- FINALLY! -- swing open to the public. And trend-hungry Americans (myself included) jumped out of their lace-up patent Oxfords over the much-delayed, much-heralded opening of the first-ever American Topshop.

People, Topshop is A RELIGION. A cult of quasi couture -- they take your money, but you hand it over willfully. People at work have stopped me in the BATHROOM to ask me what it's like inside -- colorful, loud, shiny, sparkly, stacked. And the shoes. Holy Lady Gaga, the shoes. Friends who live outside of the city (and friends who live here but fear the swarms of shoppers) have called me the "B" word (no, not "baller" -- the one that rhymes with "itch") because I got a chance to step foot inside the hallowed grounds of glam... And, not to rub it in your face even more (but I will), I was even luckier, because I got to go on a Topshop shopping spree with one of my favorite new artists -- and fearless style icon -- Ida Maria.

If you haven't watched Ida Maria's video, "I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked," catch UP! And if you haven't seen her ignite a stage yet (go for "Oh My God," stay for "Stella"), you NEED to catch her on tour with Glasvegas. But until you pick up the Norwegian glam-rock goddess' new album, Fortress 'Round My Heart, let Ida Maria take you on a tour of New York's favorite new store. Topshop and Ida Maria! Oh my God!

West Side Story, which just returned to Broadway (!!!!), is one of my favorite movies in the history of film. Jennifer Lopez's too. And you know how on America's Next Top Model, how they're always like "noted fashion photographer Nigel Barker"? PLEASE. Mark Seliger, who shot an updated West Side Story pictorial for this month's issue of Vanity Fair, is an effing genius, and that word is used too lightly in general, and it's not even a strong enough term for how amazing this spread and its stars are.

I mean LOOK at Jennifer Lopez as Anita and CAMILLA BELLE as Maria! I'M DYING. Super foxy Brazilian actor Rodrigo Santoro is Bernardo, and Ben Barnes (Prince Caspian!) is the bright-eyed Tony. ("Keeler! Keeler! Keeler! Keeler!") And if you look WAAAAAAAY upstage and to the right, um, YES, that's Robert Pattinson. In the blue dress, foreground? Ashley Tisdale. Drake Bell's breaking my heart there in the glasses. ("Jai Ho," Drake Bell!) All that's missing is a Jonas Brother or two. (They'd make excellent Jets, no?) Stay cool!

These days, Jennifer Lopez's legal woes involve billion-dollar baby carriages. But back in 1999, J.Lo showed MTV how she almost got arrested for skrimping on train fares by jumping the turnstiles before jumping on the 6. (She also manages to show you her whale tail. It's cool. We'll take it.)

Go back in time and check out this old-school Jennifer Lopez clip, watch more vintage videos on Buzzworthy, and see what else is hidden in The MTV Vault.

Dear David Archuleta,

Happy Arch-i-versary!!

It was one year ago this week when we all first laid eyes on you (swoon!). I'm not really much for beating around the bush, so I may as well just come out and say it: We.Are.In.Lurv.

How much do we love thee? Let us count the ways:

+ We know the new season of American Idol started, and we're super excited about that Kara DioGuardi chick, but we keep finding ourselves drifting off and dreaming that you are there. We've taken to putting our fingers in our ears and squeezing our eyes shut, but when we open them... you're still not on our flatscreen. WHY???? Le sigh.

+ We too were DEVASTATED when Ryan Seacrest said "Cook" instead of "ARCHULETA !!!!!" on that fateful night last year, and honestly, we don't think these crazy YouTube girls came close to capturing our collective moment of shared utter devastation....it was way more upsetting then they're letting on (and you felt bad for them! Which is oh-so sweet!).

+ We've started eating at the Hard Rock Cafe again.

+ We've abandoned our J Lo/Marc Anthony divorce clock since you reminded us how "down to earth" they are.

Basically what we're getting at Archie ... is ... that you complete us.

Roses are red, violets are blue, you sing in flower shops, will you be our boo?

Love,
Buzzworthy

+ When Katy Perry goes dateless for a year, it's called celibacy. For the rest of us, it's just called sad. Either way, KP has vowed to spend the next 365 or so days with her cat. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Meanwhile, Lily Allen spent three weeks in the "nuthouse" in early 2008 ... and she liked it! (Daily Telegraph - UK)

+ And speaking of Lily, we gotta give her props for her story-telling skills. Word to the wise: Next time there's a lull in the conversation, just toss in a fun facilitator like "I did once snog these identical twins in San Diego." Works every time! (Scandalist)

+ Miley Cyrus has issued a corporate America-ish PSA claiming she has nothing but love for Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, the Jonases and, presumably, everyone else on Team Disney. (MTV News)

+ What do 50 Cent and JLo have in common? It's all about the badonkadonk, baby. (Remote Control)

+ American Idol recap! Simon Cowell pretends to hate the new judge, Kara DioGuardi while Randy Jackson pretends to referee. (E! Online)

+ Jay-Z's been working on his latest album, Blueprint 3, forevs! Which is weird, since he sez he could've made "a great piece of art" in under three weeks. (MTV News)

+ Casting call! Who better to play a vampire in New Moon than the disconcertingly mature-for-her-age child star, Dakota Fanning? (MTV Movies)
