+ Julian Casablancas, lead singer of The Strokes, plans to launch his debut solo record with an over-the-top tour, Disney-style. As in he'll ride a pole like Miley? We might actually be intrigued by that. (NME)

+ Happy 1st Birthday to The JoBros A Little Bit Longer album, which turned out to be a HUGE trending topic in the Twitterverse today. (Twitter)

+ If you had enough money (or assistants) to get multiple hair extensions glued to your head on a daily basis, you would probably take care of them or at the very least brush them once in a while, right? Then tell us WHYYYYYY Britney seems to go out of her way to make her hair extensions look as obvious (and obviously not washed) as possible? If anyone is within reach, would you please just shake her?? Thanks. (The Blemish)

+ Oh -- and in case you're wondering how Britney's looking so good in a bikini (with those tracks covered up by a huge hat), it comes in a box and is delivered to her door/tour bus. And it's not crack. (ICYDK)

+ With a new album on the way, Janet Jackson is ready for another new look (no, it's not a new pair of Juicy Couture sweatpants). The question is, are you ready? (Bossip)

+ Also, did you know Ryan Gosling has a band? Listen to this song off his forthcoming debut album and see what you think. Sounds like Elvis, Jeff Buckley, and Johnny Cash. Kinda? (PopSugar)

+ Kelly Osbourne is looking very "True Blue" Madonna these days. "Likes this." (Popsquire)

Back when The Osbournes first crawled out its crypt Kelly Osbourne basically dressed like a British Punky Brewster who fell asleep under a clothing rack at Hot Topic and didn't get woken up for a few years. Of course, youth, addiction, and the de rigueur mall-punk look that (unfortunately) permeated fashion in the early 2000s were to blame.

Now -- sober, mature, and always dressed somewhere around stylishly smart, effortlessly elegant, and always cool -- Kelly Osbourne admits: "I was one of those girls who just got it wrong a lot." We wanted to know how Kelly Osbourne got it right, so we invited her to take the hot seat in the first episode of MTV's "What Were You Thinking?"

In the premiere episode of this new MTV style series, Kelly Osbourne looks back at five memorable outfits and gives you the story behind her style, which she now defines instead of letting her style define her. Plus, see how she went from baby-doll dresses to Balmain, and fashion don't to fashion designer. Plus, find out which designers Kelly backs, and see where you can get a severe-shouldered little black dress for below-Balmain prices.

+ SHOP KELLY'S LOOK: Can't afford a batwinged Balmain jacket or Hannah Marshall dress? Check out this Topshop body-conscious little black dress. It's the best of both worlds, and, even better, it's just $80.

Today, Alexa's friend Kelly Osbourne stopped by and admonished an audience member for hooking up with a guy who's already got a girlfriend (you tell 'em, Kelly!), Ugly Betty's sweet little Mark Indelicato stopped by, and Metric (!!!) performed live. Oh! And Alexa hopped into a tub! But most importantly, here's what Alexa wore today on It's On With Alexa Chung.

Tuesday, July 14
+ Dress: Vintage.
+ Shoes: Luella.

The mini dress Alexa wore today is vintage, which means you're never getting it. But she's a fan of both long-sleeved mini dresses and Alexander Wang. And looky what I found. It's doesn't have mini flowers, but being as picky as you are will get you nowhere. Anyway, I will stalk this Alexander Wang black long-sleeved mini dress until the day it goes on sale for $20. Which will be never. It's $550 at Shopbop.com.

And check out this simple criss-cross back black dress. It's $49.99 from Jane's Closet.

Can you even with these chunky-heeled Vince Camuto Mary Janes? They're $91 at Zappos.com.

But if you're buying, I'd also swoop in on these stiletto-heeled double-strapped patent leather Mary Janes by Carvela.

Also, if you're in the market for a super pointy-shouldered jacket like Kelly Osbourne's, check out Mexican design duo Teamo's wares:

Lastly, here's Metric performance of "Help, I'm Alive" from today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung.

+ Danity Kane's Aundrea Fimbres crushes our dreams of a DK reunion by saying she doesn't see it happening. Like, EVER. (Remote Control)

+ Note to Kelly Osbourne: if a gossip reporter calls you -- or your fiance -- stupid, slugging her in the face generally isn't the best way to prove her wrong. Now she's NEVER gonna get you that fancy-pants sugar bowl off your registry! (Usmagazine.com)

+ 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)

I know, I know -- the end of the TRL era is pretty traumatizing, but perhaps this will help ease the blow -- an addition to the Buzzworthy family: Erica, who pledged her allegiance to Britney Spears years ago, and hasn't looked back since. She's written for the NY Observer, the NY Press, and is an expert celeb blogger. When she's not writing about all things buzzworthy, she can usually be found obsessively watching videos on mtvmusic.com, deconstructing episodes of The Hills or eating cupcakes (mostly eating cupcakes, actually). Check out her first post right here, and don't do something mean like try to sell her a pool pass when you know there's no pool at Buzzworthy High! Anyway, welcome, Erica!

+ OK, I know that we're all in devastation mode re: TRL, and I hear ya. The next few days are gonna be rough. However, I'm positive I have a solution that will help us all pick up the shattered pieces of our lives and move on dot org with grace and dignity: Justin Timberlake in a leotard; Srsly please tell me you watched Saturday Night Live. Our boy (well, mine ...) Justin Timberlake brought some hardcore funny as a male back-up dancer in Beyonce's "Single Ladies" music video, and then absolutely killed during a special appearance on Weekend Update. Trust me: if you watch nothing else on the Internet ever again, you must not miss Timberlake in his Danskins. (Buzzfeed)

+ Beyonce was pretty darn hilars herself on SNL AND she performed two songs off her new album, I Am... Sasha Fierce: "If I Were A Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put A Ring on It)." (Concrete Loop)

+ Oh no she di-int: Ashlee Simpson checked into the hospital on Saturday, leading us all to believe that baby Wentz had finally arrived. But, alas, bump watch '08 is back on after Ashlee checked out a short time later. (Life & Style)

+ Modern love is so adorbs: Kelly Osbourne and 18-year-old male model Luke Worrall apparently announced to the world that they were getting hitched ... via Luke's Facebook status. Upcoming plans for the wedding will be posted on their MySpace pages, with honeymoon scoop going straight to their Twitter feeds. Ahhh, love 2.0! (Evil Beet)

+ Dear Everyone: pls just leave Miley Cyrus alone already; i.e. stop hacking into all her stuff! Kthxz0rzbye!!!1! (MTV News)

+ Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey plan to share in a Christmas tradition that has nothing to do with sugarplums OR mistletoe; apparently in the Cannon household, it's all about the bikinis (duh). Mariah and all her besties like to get into their suits, roll around in the snow and finish off the night in the hot tub. Gawd bless us ... everyone. (The Superficial)

+ Cute Overload much? The P.S. 22 Children's Choir in NYC does a fab cover of Tori Amos' "1,000 Oceans." Kids sing the darndest things! (Perez Hilton)

+ Oh yeah ... almost forgot: Did you guys hear that TRL's over? 3:30's never gonna be the same again.

+ Forget about boxers or briefs. Now, thanks to Usher, guys may soon have another option! "I might be launching a lingerie line for men and woman," Usher revealed. Guess that's one way of breaking down the gender lines. (Hollyscoop)

+ The long-awaited new album from Guns N' Roses was never meant to happen. Which totally explains the oxymoronic title: Chinese Democracy. (MTV)

+ Why Kelly Osbourne needs a one-on-one sesh with celebrity sexpert (and Sex...with Mom and Dad host Dr. Drew. (Dlisted)

While the 2008 VMAs were going down in Hollywood, Fashion Week totally took over NYC. And, as always, the front row was the only place to see and be seen. And since a picture's worth a thousand words, we've put together a pictorial peek of the action for your voyeuristic viewing pleasure. Check it out and see which music-minded celebs bombarded NYC's Bryant Park, presided over the promenade and triumphed at The Tents...

John Legend pulled double duty, racing back from the VMAs red carpet in time to take in Tommy Hilfiger with a pixie-haired Hilary Swank. Meanwhile, Ashanti peeped Reem Acra with actress Perry Reeves and Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day held court at Custo Barcelona with socialite (and Gossip Girl guest star!) Tinsley Mortimer.

Elsewhere, R&B star Mario came out of hiding to mingle with The Veronicas at G-Star, while Jennifer Lopez dazzled at Oscar de la Renta and Day 26's Q got dangerously cozy with fellow Making the Band-er Dawn Richards at Aurelio Costarella.

Plus, Kelly Osbourne and Bow Wow were total suckers for Betsey Johnson while Natasha "I Wrote The Hills Theme Song" Bedingfeld joined the rest of the fashion world in blowing air-kisses at Max Azria.
