+ Miley Cyrus had quite the party at last night's Teen Choice Awards. Not only did she get to present Britney Spears with a lifetime achievement award, but she also closed out the show with her new single, "Party In The U.S.A.," which featured a stripper pole routine that was supposed to be a tongue-in-cheek throwback to her hometown roots. Daddy must be so proud!! (MTV News)

+ The Disney Channel, however (home to her popular <children's>show Hannah Montana), wanted no part of the step-and-twirl and chose to distance itself from the performance. (MTV News)

+ Congrats to Jennifer Hudson for having a baby boy late Monday, who weighed in at a healthy 7 lbs, 14 oz. (E! Online)

+ America's "pocket K-Fed" Aaron Carter is going to be on Dancing With The Stars! You can even watch the workout video he's posted to his Facebook page as he's gearing up for the show. i think I just threw up a little bit. (Zack Taylor)

+ Amerie is looking mighty fine in these latest promo pics for her forthcoming album "In Love & War." (Rap-Up)

+ And in case you missed Victoria's Secret "Angel" Marisa Miller (with fellow halo-hottie Alessandra Ambrosio) on today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung being as hot as God made them and also being completely likeable, here's Marisa wearing a LOT of jewelry and not much else. Of course it's from CollegeHumor.

+ Shocking news this Tuesday: Amy Winehouse didn't record the James Bond theme for 2008's Quantam of Solace because -- <gasp> -- she was high! Hard to believe, right? (Holy Moly!)

+ No, there is not an official video out for Britney Spears' song "Kill The Lights." It's actually a fan video made by user "Britneli, the winner of "The Britney Global Fan Fiction Contest." It's kind of cute and completely pegs all of Britney's "-isms" -- it almost seems like they were ripped from the "Stronger" video: eyes squinted, hip-to-the-side stances, etc etc. Remember the "Break The Ice" video that was an official  Britney video and looked like something from Akira? (BS Weekly)

+ And no matter what the state of your personal affairs, the only thing more satisfying than a MochaSoyFrappachunkalatteheygirlhey is better than seeing photos of your fat-ass ex-husband at a golf course with other has-been celebs, NOT golfing. (Pop on the Pop)

+ Further proof that Katy Perry is in on the joke... (The Superficial)

+ The Backstreet Boys are really back, y'all. No, like for real. The last time was just bad marketing. This time they are really really back and planning to release a new CD in October (their first single "Straight Through My Heart" definitely sounds like radio will eat it up with a spoon, and there'll probably be like 19 remixes), with a European and headlining North American tour to follow. Alright?? (BackstreetBoys.com)

+ We just HAD to post this little bit of Brooke Hogan doing an autograph signing for 12 people at Wal-Mart in South Florida -- we still can't even get over the album art! WHAT A MESS! (dlisted)

+ P.S. John Mayer is up to his douchey Tweeting again, this time about how the ninth year of every decade produces really crappy music. (MTV News)

+ Joe Jonas and Camilla Belle are ENDSVILLE?? Put her name on a star and add it to the boulevard of broken dreams. <sniff> (E! Online)

+ A brand-new, gorgeously-shot video for Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" has made its way to the Internets today, but the real story here is that hit songwriter Ryan Tedder (who also wrote some stuff for Jordin Sparks' new CD that just came out last week) actually gave the same backing track to Beyonce (she wound up using it for her 2008 hit "Halo"). Kelly realized what happened after it was too late, and now she's at odds with her label, RCA (again), about releasing the track. We don't think the songs sound that much alike and, personally, we'll take the Sinead O'Connor-esque sound of Kelly's song over Beyonce's constant oversinging any day of the week. (MTV News)

+ P.S. Here's Kelly performing the same song live on The David Letterman Show a couple of weeks ago. Which version do you prefer?

+ Ain't no way in hell Britney's kids gon be appearin' on that new K-Fed show, y'all. Fo REEL! (Evil Beet)

+ Is anyone getting sick of Katy Perry looking wide eyed and cute in whatever she wears, wherever she performs? Me either! (Neon Limelight)

+ Something else I never get sick of, you ask? Why, recent pics of Carrot Top out-and-about, doing anything or nothing at all, of course. (ICYDK)

Singer-songwriter Kate Voegele's prom was so perfect that it almost sounds lifted from a TV script... say, the script of One Tree Hill, perhaps? A show she starred on with... Kevin Federline! But Kate Voegele's prom experience was even cooler than a cryogenically frozen K-Fed in a bathtub full of ice.

The dude who asked Kate to prom did it in the sweetest/ least cheesy way possible, and Kate's friends surprised when they had the DJ play her music at the end of the dance. I mean, could you just temporarily DIE of cuteness? I could.

Watch Kate tell her prom tale in her trademark breathless/bubbly style, check out more celebrity prom videos, and if you haven't heard it yet, you MUST listen to her new album, A Fine Mess. We've got it on on repeat at Camp Buzzworthy.

+ It's official! New Moon heartthrob Taylor Lautner is dating Selena Gomez, and the two couldn't look happier together. (Life & Style Weekly)

+ Pete Wentz went on a mini tirade against website Gawker yesterday for posting his family's whereabouts on their site. (PopCrunch)

+ Aaaaaaaand Michael Jackson has postponed his early London tour dates until March of next year!!! (Seriously? OMG! WTF?)

+ Daddy Spears is laying down the law with Kevin Federline, telling him that he has to stop gambling or risk getting his allowance cut. Don't bite the French manicured hand that feeds you, Kevvy Wevvy. (Celebslam)

+ In other Britney news, brand-new cover art for her latest single "Radar" was just released. Sneak a peek after the jump. (BritneySpears.com)

+ The Jonas Brothers say that their new song "Poison Ivy" is not specifically about any of their ex-girlfriends. (People)

If not for the wisdom of the great people of Paris, this superstar could have just been another back-up dancer. And no, I'm not talking about you, avid Buzzworthy-reader Kevin Federline.

In a 1984 interview with mullet-headed MTV VJ Mark Goodman, Madonna talks about living in New York in the early-1980s and working as a dancer. Just when it looked like she'd be twirling into her thirties, she got a call from a French record label. They wanted to cut an album. Clearly, Madonna went to France.

Watch the MTV Vault gem below for more on that story, and stick around to pick up on Madonna's gasp-worthy fashion, which was, as you know, WAY ahead of its time.

Take it away, Madge!

+ We bet Beyonce hates to be reminded that they still have to crank out one more album for their label. The other two who-see-whats, however, could probably use the cash. (PopCrunch)

+ The Barenaked Ladies took home a Juno Award for 'Children's Album of the Year.' Guess all the all the mounds of coke lead singer Steven Page was sucking down before he got kicked out of the band really did provide some inspiration. (Yahoo! Canada News)

+ What to do before going to court on Monday? If you're Rihanna, you slip away to Hawaii for a few days.  (PopSugar)

+ Holy sneak peek at the new Jonas Brothers World Tour stage. WOOT WOOT! (Teen Hollywood 411)

+ K-Fed, looking oddly like Shrunken Head Man from Beetlejuice, has clearly ordered one too many Moons Over My Hammies. (Pink Is The New Blog)

+ Time for some Robert Pattinson kiddie porn from a photo shoot waaaaaay back in 2001.  It's reeeeally good -- we promise. (Socialite Life)

Just in case you've been doubting that old "anything's possible" cliche, we hereby submit the following mindblowing fact for your consideration: Britney Spears' baby daddy and Olympic-level has-been "rapper" Kevin Federline is starting his own line of children's clothing. (!!!)

[.................................]
[!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

Truly, this information scrambles our brains and renders us speechless. BUT, it's true (really... we swear!) and we need to move on. So rather than attempt to determine what qualifies the prince of "Popozao" to produce pint-sized pants, here are our top 5 potential names for Kevin Federline's new children's clothing line.

5. E-List: Kathy Griffin has cornered the entire D-List market, which means E is now wiiiide open! Make E-List happen, Kevin.

4. L'il Gold Diggerz: Wink, wink, nudge nudge.  Too bad that whole Britney thing blew up, but with $5,000 a week coming your way, you can still live it up kinda large? Or at least medium?

3. Vegas, Baby: This one is kind of my fave, because baby is in the title! Yay!  And, as we all know, K-Fed can't get enough Vegas, so it works on that level too. Genius marketing!

2. Stripped: As in strippers... who, uhm, K-Fed seems to enjoy quite a little bit. And who says a grown-ass man with 18 bajillion kids and no discernible job can't enjoy the presence of an exotic dancer. Am I right fellahs?

1.Wanna(bay)BE: Get it? GET IT?

FedEx, if nothing else, you are a master of reinvention. Or at least the reinvention attempt. We can't wait to buy our very first K-Fed endorsed onesie!

+ David Archuleta was all, 'I HATE MY CAREER' and said a lot of nasty stuff in his new video update while on tour.  Just kidding -- he was his usual PAINFULLY sweet self.  No really -- it hurts.  (Neon Limelight)

+ Hold onto your skin-lightening pills, kidz.  Michael Jackson is poised to perform a series of shows at London's 02 Arena this summer.  Would you go across the pond to see him??? (People)

+HOLY CRAP KEVIN FEDERLINE IS FAT!  Britney is TOTALLY lolzing.   (Pink Is The New Blog)

+ Those crazy kids Fall Out Boy just launched their own version of Oregon Trail, an old Mac computer game NONE of YOU crazy kids will remember.  And if you do, you're probably going to see Michael Jackson at 02 this summer. (Friends or Enemies)

+ Our girl Lauren Conrad is writing a series of books "loosely" based on her experience as a reality television star.  I'm so confused.  (Remote Control)

+ Everyone just needs to leave Miley and her boobs alone already!!  She could put on a SNUGGIE and go jogging -- as long as she's with her hot boyfriend, I really don't care. (Us Magazine)

+ Miley Cyrus loved performing for the Obama girls, but insists they're just "like any other fans!" (Except for they have their own Beanie Babies.) But yeah, they were totally "sweet" and "appreciative" and normzies, and not at all "Our dad's president and yours used to have a mullet." (J-14)

+ Memo to Ashlee Simpson: We weren't making fun of your sister's weight gain. We were making fun of her for wearing mom jeans. (MTV News)

+ Is Marilyn Manson's ex-girlfriend sucking face with Mickey Rourke? And if so, who should be the most embarrassed? (DListed)

+ Either Joaquin Phoenix is the next Eminem, or we've all just been "Punk'd." (EW)

+ Meanwhile, MTV News dares to ask: Is Lil Wayne the new Axl Rose? We dare to answer: No. (MTV News)

+ Britney Spears has shed 20 pounds in the past few months and become a total bikini babe! So what's her secret? Working out 24/7 and tirelessly promoting her new album! Also: Not having any more kids with Kevin Federline. (Usmagazine.com)

+ Two blondes, one pair of pants! Because if anyone deserves a 'Double Shot at Love,' it's lewd British comedian Russell Brand. (Scandalist)

+ Is Diddy finally pulling the plug on Danity Kane? And if so, can you honestly say you still care? (Remote Control)

+ Gabe Saporta of Cobra Starship is neither a jerk, nor a wannabe celebrity. Discuss. (MTV News)
