Kristin Cavallari, Katy Perry, and Amber Rose picked up Buzzworthy Fashion Awards for the silvery spectacles and primal get-ups they wore to the 2009 VMAs. Now see which fashion honors Buzzworthy has bestowed upon Madonna, Olivia Palermo, Hayley Williams and more celebs for their VMA style!

MOST COMMANDING: TIE! MADONNA & OLIVIA PALERMO
Some stars like Amerie and Cassie opted for full-on color on the VMA red carpet. Madonna and Olivia Palermo, who wore Susan Woo, commanded the carpet in head-to-toe black. How New York of them.
+ Watch Olivia Palermo on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Madonna open the VMAs with a tribute to Michael Jackson.

ALL-AROUND CUTEST: HAYLEY WILLIAMS
THANK you, Hayley Williams. See, THIS is how you dress for the VMAs. When I chatted with Hayley inside of Radio City that night, she told me that Katy Perry told her about Jeremy Scott, who designed the LP-inspired skirt she's wearing. Hayley's vintage-rock look is spot-on perfect for the VMAs. It's youthful but not ridiculous, fun and dressed up (especially with those heels and the bright pop of color from her lipstick), but it's not over-the-top. Ahhhdorbs.

HOTTEST, MOST MAD MEN-INSPIRED GUY: GABE SAPORTA
Gabe Saporta + Balenciaga = Yeah you did.
+ Watch Cobra Starship on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Gabe introduce Lady Gaga's performance at the VMAs.
+ Watch Gabe discuss his VMA Mad Men style.

COOLEST THING COVERING SOMEONE'S BOOB: PINK
The sparkly pink heart covering Pink's boob during her death-defying performance of "Sober" was just one of the coolest elements of her jaw-dropping performance. I don't know what that heart thing was, but I kind of want one to stick on my laptop.
+ Watch Pink perform "Sober" at the VMAs.

MOST REFLECTIVE/ SELF-REFLEXIVE: TIE! ADRIENNE BAILON & BEYONCE
Get it? GET IT? Because Adrienne, in a Stephen Sprouse dress, used to be in the Cheetah Girls, and Beyonce's wearing mirrors!
+ Watch Beyonce's "Single Ladies" VMA performance.
+ Watch Beyonce on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Adrienne Bailon interview everyone on the red carpet at the VMAs!

MOST THOUGHTFUL TRIBUTE TO FALLEN HOMIES: TIE! KID SISTER & DJ PREMIER
Buzzworthy idol Kid Sister took her red carpet fashion opportunity to pay tribute to the late Aaliyah, wearing in a shirt she bought on Aaliyah.com. Later that night at Lyor Cohen's VMA after party, DJ Premier (pictured with DJ Cassidy) remembered DJ AM by wearing a t-shirt with a photo of them together.
+ Watch Kid Sister discuss her amazing nails on the VMA red carpet.

MOST CASUAL FRIDAY ON SUNDAY: TIE! BRENT BOLTHOUSE & ANDY SAMBERG
Lazy Sunday? More like casual Friday. Brent Bolthouse kept it biznass casual like a BAWSE in Vans on the VMA red carpet, and Andy Samberg was his usually perfectly-bedheaded-and-a-little-unkempt-but not-in-a-way-that-he-smells-and-I-wish-all-guys-dressed-like-this self. I digress.

MOST LIKELY TO BE SEEN SPREAD OUT ON TOP OF A CAR ON HER MYSPACE: AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL'S JADE COLE
I mean, I'm just sayin'...

+ YOU GUYS! Kim Kardashian got bitten by the Twilight bug and she's TOTALLY A VAMPIRE NOW! Specifically her makeup artist Troy Jensen gave her a Prada-meets-Pattinson Twilight-inspired makeover. It's like it's last year all over again. NO ONE tell Kim that Bella turns into a vampire in Breaking Dawn. Don't wanna spoil the surprise! (Kimkardashian.Celebuzz.com)

+ Also in line to become a vampire: Miley Cyrus, who will star in Disney's adaptation of the supernatural series Wings. But you probably already knew that. And you probably already read it. (Variety)

+ FI.NA.LL.Y. Buzzworthy's favorite sibling, Kid Sister, will release her debut album, Ultraviolet, on October 6. OF THIS YEAR, PLEEZE, GURL? (Rap-Up)

+ Warner Music no likey Keyboard Cat! WTS? (Wired)

+ Cool stuff you can buy from blink-182! For under $30! (Buzzworthy)

+ Kanye and Gaga probably aren't married. Which his good because I just don't know WHERE I'd find them that combination life-sized human legs coffee table espresso maker on their registry. (MTV News)

+ Speaking of Kanye, Jay-Z confessed that Kanye inspired "D.O.A. (Death Of Auto-tune)." I KNEW IT! (Billboard)

Back in Febrero we semi-hipped you to a special Kid Sister project where she was teaming up with Reebok and Foot Locker to sell their shoes, along with an exclusive Jungle Brothers cover. Apparently she's one of several artists (Kidz In The Hall, B.o.B., etc) who will be putting new spins on favorite old jams in honor of Reebok's sweet new sneaks.

Well, Kid Sister savants, your wait is almost over. I just got an email that includes a commercial with a sneak peek of her Chi-town take on the JBs' "I'll House You," as well as some live footage of that photo shoot I creeped around with my camera this winter. Revisit my photos and sneaky interview here, and be the first to see that Kid Sister Reebok spot, after the jump!

Keri Hilson carries around enough nail polish to make Kid Sister jealous and half a counter's worth of MAC makeup, all of which she keeps in an airplane-friendly plastic bag, thank you very much. See what else the singer-songwriter-turned hip-hop/R&B balladeer has spirited away in her handbag in another edition of "Buzzworthy Style Files." Plus, watch Keri Hilson's videos here, and see what's in Lily Allen's bag.

How long have we been waiting on Kid Sister to drop that debut LP?? Mmm... feels like just about forever and a day. A month and a half ago she told Pitchfork, "I work at a really comfortable pace. It'll be done in the next couple of months." She told us the same thing yesterday (and a year ago), but we're not mad at all. Dream Date will come, and it will own our lives, and it will have been worth the wait. I know because I heard the latest cut yesterday, and DAYUMN, Kid Sis. How much nasty does one album really need??

Let's step back a minute now. I stumbled on a private photo shoot for the Reebok Classic Remix collection, starring Ms. Melisa Young, aka Kid Sister, herself. When she wasn't on stage twerkin' those knees for the cameras, it was a mellow time consisting mostly of make-up application and casual celebrity gossip (Onlooker: "I don't trust celebrities with three names." Kid Sister: "Sarah Michelle Gellar... she looks weird."), with Kid Sister's eight-pound Shetland furball Betsy scampering between our feet.

Buzzworthy: Dream Date... What's taking so long?
Kid Sister: Right now we're adding some songs and taking some other songs off. There were just a couple things on it that irked me. That I didn't feel all that comfortable with. So I was just like lemme take this back a minute because if i can't sleep at night... you know. You only get one first album. So we got some new songs and some new producers. Swedish House Mafia, A-Trak, Flosstradamus. And they are so nasty with it! You ain't ready, America, YOU AIN'T REH-DAY!

BW: Is there any end to that self-editing process?
KS: You know Matthew Santos? He's doing an album right now. Matt's very much like, 'Let's change this, let's change that.' Your perception [of what's good] changes everyday and, in a way, I guess you could never be done. But I'm ready to be done (laughs).

BW: How long have you been working on Dream Date now?
KS: It's been about a year. But before a year ago I wasn't even really sure that I was a real artist. I didn't think of what I was doing as an album. It was just silly drunken dirty party stuff. I worked three jobs. How do you call yourself a musician when you work at Bath & Body Works? It's just something you do at a party to have fun. But getting signed felt like it legitimized... well, let's just say that they PAIIIIID me, baby!

BW: What was the first thing you bought?
KS: A van! It's a baby mama van, and it's real old, but I like it a lot.

BW: You ever go back into Bath & Body Works?
KS: Yeah I go back in there like (singing) "I used to work here, nah nah nah nah nah nah." Naw. Really I'm like, "can I get a discount?" I'm a cheap-ass.

Yo, 1983! Welcome back! Again! We've been busting out our moustache combs and scratching at our leg warmers all day over here, listening to this airy New Order-meets-Hall & Oates jam, "Big Bills." The instant new-wave-yacht-rock classic is the latest from underground Chicago DJ duo Flosstradamus, with enchanting girly vocals courtesy of fellow '80s revivalist, Caroline Polachek of Chairlift (who you may remember from the dreamiest iPod commercial ever). And if Flosstradamus sounds familiar, it's probably because half of the DJ team, Josh 'J2K' Young, is Kid Sister's big brother!

Finally, maybe it's just the video's Lost In Translation-esque muted colors, breathy vocals and sleepy blur, but is anybody else picking up on a major Sofia Coppola vibe here? Not only is this new Flosstradamus clip overloaded with that moody Virgin Suicides ennui, but Caroline Polachek (good thing someone found a use for her!) is also a dead-ringer for the it-girl director. Doncha think?! Yeah you do.

+ Despite super scary, panic-attack-causing rumors that Kevin's peacing (WHAT? WHY? HOW?? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!), the boys have issued a statement saying KJ ain't going nowhere. Hear that? Deep breaths, people -- it's going to be okay. (MTV News)

+ A-Rod says he and Madonna are just friends. Special friends, who, like, hang out and go to Brazil and may or may not be moving in together! You know! No big deal! (D-Listed)

+ The reviews are in, and it's official: Beyonce is lookin' (Sasha) fierce in her new movie, Cadillac Records. (MTV News)

+ Katy Perry admits she's not just a one-time girl kisser! "[I've done it] many times, in several different situations,” Perry sez. "I love a beautiful woman, I’m not afraid to say it.”  (Page Six Magazine, via Scandalist)

+ First, Buzzworthy BFF Kid Sister changed the name of her new album, Dream Date, (apparently Koko B. Ware didn't fly with the WWE), and now she's changing the LP's release date. Because apparently the first date wasn't quite dreamy enough. (Rap-Up)

+ Fall Out Boy is playing in NYC next Tuesday (December 16th) and 125 lucky someone-or-others will score free tix, courtesy of Nokia. You're welcome! (Newsday)

+ Anyone else think Aubrey O'Day's doggy is screaming for a makeover? (Remote Control)

Look at you, just sittin' there, wishing with your wishes and wants, making your Kwannakamus list, wishin' for a pretty pony, and the new Britney album, and the new Lily Allen album (it's not ready already!), and "Wii Music," and a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

Well add Trovata's "Lovers Love Life" t-shirt to your list. It's just $29.99 (you're welcome, Mom), and all of the proceeds go to the Staying Alive Foundation, which funds global HIV/AIDS awareness, education and prevention campaigns.

Don't you just love how the mod lettering says "I'm stylish" while subtly encouraging the use of a connie? 'Tis the always season to get tested, after all!

Pick up a limited-edition tee at Urban Outfitters or the MTV Shop, and check out Buzzworthy crush Kid Sister, with Trovata creative director John Whitledge at a launch event for the collabo.

What'd you guys do Wednesday night? Nothing? Sounds like fun! Hey! Wanna know what we did?? We went to mtvU's 2008 Woodie Awards, flirted with Boys Like Girls on the red carpet, got rejected (and un-rejected!) by the All American Rejects, found out Paramore's favorite movie and sat with Locksley and Andrew McMahon of Jack's Mannequin.

Okay, rewind. We've (occasionally) been known to exaggerate (or, as we like to call it, "make the story better') so we should probably back up and start at the beginning. Which brings us back to 5:45pm yesterday, the time we arrived at the mysteriously dark/freezing place called New York's Roseland Ballroom, grabbed our press pass and saw Santogold (looking super cute n' cozy in a gray hoodie and hoop earrings!) rehearsing on stage with Spank Rock.

Note: There were no pictures allowed inside before the show (Not that they would've come out, anyway -- mysteriously dark place, remember??) so you'll have to settle for this red carpet shot of Santogold wearing a shiny, silvery dress by Marc Jacobs that appears to be made from 100% Reynold's Wrap (though Santo swears it's actually way "softer" and more skin-friendly). And she's posing with Lykke Li. (LOVE her!)

... And boy are our hands tired. We have our suspicions, but we, like you, won't know fo sho until this Friday night on FNMTV, when the final nominees in the "Best New Artist" category are announced, along with the "Best Dancing In a Video" noms. Seriously, someone's mom's gonna be super proud when she finds out she's one step closer to getting a Moonman to proudly display on her fridge.

Anyheezy, out of the eight pages (!!?!?!?) of possible VMA Best New Artist nominees, here are 10 of our favorite picks and their A+ videos.

+ OneRepublic, "Stop and Stare" -- Their smash hit "Apologize" is also a contender, but "Stop and Stare" hurts even better.

+ Leona Lewis, "Bleeding Love" -- Buckets of sexy, soulful emotion!

+ A Cursive Memory, "Everything" -- Punk'd 2.0!

+ Tokio Hotel, "Ready, Set, Go!" -- Duh...

+ Taylor Swift, "Teardrops on My Guitar" -- Seriously, how could Drew make our little pretty pretty princess cry!?!?

+ Vampire Weekend, "Oxford Comma" -- Wes Anderson + grammar = nerds unite!

+ Kid Sister, "Pro Nails" -- Inspiring us to keep our tips fly!

+ Estelle, "American Boy" -- Inspiring us to up our frequent flyer miles. And ring Kanye about another breezy duet.

+ She & Him, "Why Do You Let Me Stay Here?" -- Oh, Zooey. Why do you have to be so cute?

+ The Teenagers, "Love No" -- Frothy drinks, rollerskates, sexual tension and lotsa tongue? Yes, please!
