No, Pete Wentz doesn't *necessarily* die in Fall Out Boy's highly hush-hush new video "What A Catch Donnie" and no, "What A Catch, Donnie" isn't *necessarily* their last video.

"What A Catch, Donnie" is all Patrick Stump's Elton John-ian vocal acrobatics (and Elvis Costello's guest vox, don't hurt), set against a misty, wistful Hemingway/ Decemberists backdrop of nautical metaphors. It's kind of like the movie Castaway but with 100 percent better art direction and no volleyball or whatever that busted thing was.

The "What A Catch Donnie" video was shot off the waters of Los Angeles by Alan Ferguson. Speaking of cameos, watch for Panic! At The Disco's (SO... hard to remember whether or not to use the "!") Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith.

Okay, watch "What A Catch, Donnie" now because I don't wanna spoil anything else for you and get thrown overboard.

Alex Greenwald -- Phantom Planet frontman, Mark Ronson collaborator, and former model -- used to be so freaking hot it was almost impossible to look at him without thinking "nasty thoughts," as Janet Jackson once said. But not long ago, a paparazzi photo popped up in which the once-smokin' Alex looked like a straight-up hobo. Still, who'd he have hanging on his arm? British supermodel and Met Ball belle Agyness Deyn.

While we've got no problem with some slight shagginess, Alex Greenwald has seen better days, and his unkempt hair looks gnarlier than ever. (A tip: lather, rinse, repeat... repeat... repeat...) Still, Alex bagged a supermodel, so maybe the joke's on us.

Anyway, the shaggy/smoldering combo of Alex Greenwald and Agyness Deyn reminded us of some more hot chicks and the mangy men they love. So check out more of Buzzworthy's favorite guys who look like they live in boxcars and the beautiful babes who love them anyway.

Ryan Adams: Alt-country musician Ryan Adams won the heart of pop-folk singer Mandy Moore, who's had high-profile romances with tennis hunk Andy Roddick as well as Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff, while Ryan dated pretty Parker Posey. But it was ultra-shaggy Ryan who swept Mandy off her feet: Ryan and Mandy got married just last month. Hopefully the groom, uh, groomed for the big day.

Alex DeLeon: Okay, Alex DeLeon -- who's been linked to the radiant Demi Lovato -- used to be way more polished, but when he came to MTV for The Cab's Buzzworthy interview in March 2009, his broken-ended hair, fuzzy facial hair and leather accessories kinda made him look like he was running from the law. Bring back unquestionably hot Alex!

Ben Gibbard: Indie superstar Ben Gibbard's sensitive vocals are the perfect match for Zooey Deschanel. Zooey, dubbed "the rich man's Katy Perry" -- oh snap! -- by one site, has had leading roles in a slew of movies like Elf, where she showed off her vocal cords and her adorablility. Even though the oft-unshaven Ben's been featured on UglyMales.com (to the objection of many commenters, to be fair), he and Zooey matched up not only musically, but they're also engaged. Aww! Indie romance!

Joe Trohman: It's clear that Pete Wentz-ian man-glam is not Joe Trohman's style. But there are other ways to stand out besides looking like a homeless man who wandered off the street and onto the stage. His disheveled, mountain-man look has still been described as "wonderfully hobo-esque meets Jesus." True! We're not saying Joe's not hot. We just miss his From Under The Cork Tree-era/ "Dance Dance" short hair. Still, he nabbed a super-cute girl and put a ring on dat; he and Marie (above) are engaged.

+ More hobo guys and hot girls after the jump.

He wasn't using it at the time, so Fall Out Boy and I comandeered Carson Daly's dressing room backstage at Total Finale Live.

Watch Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman, Andy Hurley, and "Pete Wentz" (who mysteriously grew a few inches and started to embody a strange Wes Borland look), talk Tool, Britney Spears, Stephen Colbert, opening up a Times Square Angels & Kings offshoot, and, most importantly, *NSYNC.

Then see The Academy Is...'s Sisky lob the love back to Fall Out Boy and Pete and Ashlee.

The men of Fall Out Boy hail from comfie Chicago suburbs and built an emo empire on wittily wordplayed rock anthems, zip-up hoodies, and bringing up baby bands (and, in the case of Hollywood power couple Pete Wentz and wife Ashlee Simpson, an actual baby in a matter of days). But while they're not necessarily a political band per se, mall rats these boys are not; despite their clothing line affiliations and various forays into retail and side projects, do not expect to find them spending all of their downtime at Northbrook Court or The Grove OMGing over distressed denim. Fall Out Boy is a band that's done the math, does their homework, and keeps up with the world beyond Soundscan and Perez Hilton and encourages their fans to do the same.

Fall Out Boy's pro-social history goes a little like this: the band shot their video for "I'm Like a Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You)," in northern Uganda, raising awareness of that war-torn country's displaced children (and the non-profit group Invisible Children, which the band has championed for years) instead of stroking their own egos in the glammy, flashy video many perhaps expected.

Pete Wentz has been an outspoken advocate for young adults suffering from mental health issues, and he's made no secret of his support of gay rights, posing on the July cover of Out magazine.

And the band's made no secret of their endorsement of hometown hero Barack Obama for U.S. president, speaking out about the candidate in interviews, holding fundraisers and performing at Rock the Vote at the Democratic National Convention.

And while Fall Out Boy is about to release their highly anticipated new album, Folie à Deux -- their fifth studio album and the follow-up to 2007's Infinity on High, which debuted at #1 -- and while their lead single, "I Don't Care," is a tongue-in-cheek faceplant into megalomania and narcissism, their MTV Artist of the Week run is not a blatant big-guys-in-business-suits-and-board-meetings-inspired dog-and-pony album push. Instead, Fall Out Boy's using their airtime as an end-of-the-line, last-ditch, no-seriously-we-really-mean-it opportunity to inspire young Americans to vote on November 4th.

Watch the first of Fall Out Boy's election-themed Artist of the Week spots (watch them all here and below, watch Patrick give Pete an up-close-and-personal view of body politics, and see the guys O.D. on wind power -- the sexiest drug of all!), check out photos here, and find out more about the 2008 election at think.mtv.com.
