Is Justin Bieber the new Robert Pattinson? I mean, sure he's shorter, younger, smiles way more, seems 100,000 times more fun, pretty much OWNS Twitter, and he's far better at music. But, like R Pattz, Justin Bieber not only has impressive hair, but he's a TOTAL ladykiller. Girls twice, even three times Justin Bieber's age are like SCREAMING their makeup off for The Biebs.

Watch him perform "One Less Lonely Girl" from today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung, and see why Justin Bieber is basically Robert Pattinson, minus the British accent and brooding.

I don't know if MTV Featured Artist of the Week Justin Bieber has ever seen the Eddie Murphy classic 48 Hours, but he might wanna Netflix that jawn real quick.

This video is pretty much a thank you note. As a form of gratitude for collaborating with him, Diddy shows Bieber and his buddy the time of their lives in an undisclosed location.

Diddy totally comes off like the awesome uncle who spoils you in this funny video, telling Justin Bieber he's going to lace him with a Lambo for his 16th birthday and dangles the promise of a mansion for his 18th birthday.

Funny thing is, Diddy refers to the time he's spending with Bieber as some kind of take on 48 Hours. Now, for those who don't know, 48 Hours basically involves Nick Nolte dragging a handcuffed Murphy through one bar fight after another, ending with a really long shootout.

That is not a good look for the still-teething Bieber! He's hitting the prime of his life, Diddy! No bar fights!

MTV's Featured Artist is teenaged pop sensation Justin Bieber.

In these exclusive MTV videos you (yet again) get to see Justin Bieber's evident talent and relaxed charm. There's a few low-key acoustic performances, including a really nice take on his sun-kissed single, "One Less Lonely Girl," and a brand-new stripped-down version of "Never Let You Go."

Aside from the exclusive MTV performances, Justin Bieber talks about his early, early, early days as a two-year-old drummer. He also chats about the determination involved in teaching himself multiple instruments. Get to know Justin Bieber -- the little dude with some big talent -- in the MTV clips below. And check out these exclusive photos of Justin Bieber from his MTV video shoot.

Justin Bieber is in the building. Or actually, he is outside of the building. The setting for "One Less Lonely Girl" seems to be Main Street, USA (I don't know the zip code, sorry). And why not? Is this kid not the slice of apple pie cooling on the window sill of the American teen dream?

But he's not that innocent. In this clip, Bieber is serenading a lonely lady in one of the nicest looking laundromats I've ever seen. (There's no WAY this is a New York laundromat.) There's some lost-and-found action with a scarf that eventually leads to some young love. Your heart, it is warmed.

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.

After I caught up with Honor Society at the VMA radio forum at Radio City today, I got a few minutes to chat with Justin Bieber, who's just as adorable in person -- IF NOT MORE -- as you'd think he is. He'll be presenting at the 2009 MTV VMAs on Sunday, September 13, and since he's only 15 this will be his first-ever VMAs. (I mean, how many more VMAs can you have under your white studded belt when you're just 15?)

Check out this MTV Buzzworthy Blog video to see what Justin Bieber had to say about going to the VMAs and what he may or may not wear Sunday night.


Starlight, star bright, can I PLEASE sit here next to Justin Bieber, Andy Samberg, and Asher Roth on VMA night? Pretty please?

And Asher, don't use your proximity to corrupt little Justin Bieber (And by corrupt, please refer to the lyrics of "I Love College." JK! Loveyameanitcallme! No really. Call me).

We're just days away from the 2009 MTV VMAs at Radio City Music Hall, and the celebrity guests and big-name announcements and appearances are flooding in.

Just announced this morning...

+ Alicia Keys will join Jay-Z onstage for his live performance of "Empire State of Mind" off of Jay-Z's The Blueprint 3 album. (Put it on repeat... Now.)

+ Eminem will appear on stage at the VMAs! (Will he get a bare ass to the face again? Probably not, but he was such a good sport at the 2009 MTV Movie Awards...)

+ MTV legend Jennifer Lopez has been added to the list of 2009 VMA presenters!

+ AND, this just in... JUSTIN BIEBER will present a VMA too! (Get it? JUST IN? JUST IN?) Stay tuned for more VMA news, and follow the MTV Buzzworthy Blog on Twitter at @MTVBuzzworthy for more VMA news, backstage reports and celeb spottings!

+ Don't miss the 2009 VMAs live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City on Sunday, September 13 at 9pm!

It was hard to even FOCUS on fashion with Justin Bieber on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung with Alexa's Auto-Tune news, Tiffany Thornton's vampire impression, and JUSTIN BIEBER!  But somehow I persevered.

Here's what Alexa wore today!

Wednesday, September 2
+ Shirt: Madewell
+ Shorts: 3.1 Phillip Lim
+ Shoes: Chanel

Get a Madewell denm button-down shirt for $88 from Shopbop. It's the one and only denim shirt you'll ever need. Besides this denim shirt.

You, like Ashley Green, are pro leather shorts? Okay then. Let's DO this thing. HIGHLY recommend them with some darky tights. I also recommend them if you're rich and can afford these baggy, bad-ass motorcycle jacket-inspired leather roll-up shorts. They're DSquared, and they're $1396 at Luisaviaroma.com. The leather hot pants at right are 3.1 Phillip Lim, and they're $656 at MyTheresa.com.

Okay. Now watch Justin Bieber perform "One Time." I know that's why you came here in the first place.

Hai gurl!

Taylor Swift could've chose ANY song -- A Billy Currington song, The Summer Set, Keith Urban, something by Tim McGraw -- for her brand-new video tour diary. But Taylor Swift clearly ADORES Justin Bieber as much as we do over here at Camp Buzzworthy.

Watch Taylor Swift's new tour diary video -- make heart hands every time you see a cameo (Demi Lovato, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift's mom, Brooks & Dunn guy) -- set to Justin Bieber's "One Time," which Taylor's obviously a fan of too. And check out brand-new MTV photos of Justin Bieber, and OF COURSE, watch Taylor Swift's "VMA Side Story" video!
