It was either the French, the Afghans, Mario Puzo, or the Quentin Tarantino who said "Revenge is a dish best served cold." Were they right? Who knows? Everything I needed to know I learned from pop culture and music videos, which have taught me that when it comes to getting even, nothing beats the ass-kicking, window-smashing, good old-fashioned REVENGE video. (And leaving a horse head in someone's bed.)

Check out 10 classic videos where artists get mad, get even and get revenge by trashing their ex's place, taping themselves in naughty situations (right, Justin Timberlake?), putting the hurt on someone else's credit cards, or howling like a she-wolf in the middle of the desert like your name was Alanis Morissette. (Exactly like that, actually.)

PUBLIC DISPLAY OF REJECTION

Alanis Morissette -- "You Oughta Know"
Nothing says "woman scorned" like the wrath of Alanis Morissette and all. that. hair. Her 1995 video, "You Oughta Know," quickly became a b+tchfest manifesto for the maligned and scorned the world over. Thinking of getting "exploratory" in a movie theater? Um, yeah. Don't. Also, learning corner: Flea and Dave Navarro played on the original recording!
+ Watch "You Oughta Know"

BREAK STUFF!

Carrie Underwood -- "Before He Cheats"
If you cheat on Carrie Underwood, you've got an even bigger problem than the major hike in car insurance you're about to experience once you discover she's beat the LIVING S+++ out of your truck. In her 2006 "Before He Cheats" video, Carrie Underwood not only takes aim with a baseball bat, but she also BLOWS THINGS UP WITH HER MIND, bringing new meaning to "smash hit." Ever see Carrie the movie? Coincidence? I think not.
+ Watch "Before He Cheats"

Lily Allen -- "Smile"
Crafty Lily Allen recruits a band of local thugs and no-goodniks to mug her ex -- played by EastEnders' Elliott Jordan -- wreck his place, smash his records, and stuff his shirts in the toilet in her 2006 video, "Smile." Also he gets mugged and a horbs case of the Hershey squirts after Lily spikes his coffee with Ex-Lax. Smooth moves all around!
+ Watch "Smile"

AYO TECHNOLOGY

Justin Timberlake -- "Cry Me A River"
What happens when you cheat on Justin Timberlake? Nothing creepy or anything. Duder just pulls up to your driveway with Timbaland in the car, sneaks into your house when you leave, films himself banging an INCREDIBLY HOT CHICK, and leaves the evidence rolling and ready for you to watch when you step out of the shower. No big deal. (It's extra creepy if you happen to look like Britney Spears. ALSO: Fun fact -- the girl who plays Britney in the video is Lauren Hastings, who dated Shia LaBeouf. She also claimed that Lindsay Lohan stole an $11,000 coat from her.)
+ Watch "Cry Me A River"

Backstreet Boys -- "The Call"
Now pay attention because the Backstreet Boys' 2002 video for "The Call" may confuse people less intelligent than me. In the "The Call" video, one if not ALL of the BSBs are progressively cheating on their girlfriend/s, who MAY or may not have SET UP the guy/s to cheat on them in the first place. Total BSB sting operation! With a girl who may or may not be a transvestite. (Note: that's speculation on my part, but she kinda does look like a drag queen. Which is FINE if she were a tranners, but it'd take the video in a totally different direction.) Anyway, they're all cheating, or it's symbolic cheating or whatever, and the old-school 2002 cell phone (hence the phone sound effects!) becomes THE VESSEL through which the cheating travels. Symbolic BSB girlfriend however PWONES and sets up the whole operation to completely fail, thus flipping the script and using the cell phone and "the call that changed my destiny" as the vehicles that drive the whole sordid affair into the ground. Technology wins, cheaters lose! (Not-so-fun-fact: In 2003, AJ McLean revealed to Oprah that he first tried cocaine the night the "The Call" video was shot.)
+ Watch "The Call"

MURDER WAS THE CASE

Kanye West -- "Flashing Lights"
Spike Jonze directed Kanye West's 2008 "Flashing Lights" video, which is his most dramatic and definitely his most gruesome to date. While the song and lyrics are haunting, they completely belie the video's drastic measures: Playboy model Rita G shoves Kanye in a car, duct tapes his mouth shut (ahem!), and beats the life out of him with a shovel. All for the leaving the toilet seat up!

I asked Boys Like Girls to go prom with me and Buzzworthy, but Martin was too busy blogging, and Bryan Donahue and John Keefe were working on Boys Like Girls' new album and getting ready for their summer tour and the mtvU Sunblock Music Festival (Gym Class Heroes, The Academy Is, The Veronicas, and Never Shout Never + four cities + four shows).

Fortunately, Paul DiGiovanni said he'd go to prom with me, but then he stood me up for Lily Allen. Oh well. At least he's dumping me for someone cute... I bet Ashley Tisdale would've gone too.

+ After the jump, see how Paul DiGiovanni and Lily Allen's prom date would go, and watch a bunch of BLG live performances and videos. And check out more celebrity proms too.

With naked photos of Cassie that leaked online (twice in one WEEK!), and now, what may be photos of Rihanna naked, we're starting to wonder if taking naked photos of yourself (and having your naked photos leak onto the Internet) is the new Lost?

According to a study by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy (they get PAID to study sexting!) one in every five teenagers has sent or posted naked photos of themselves. Combine the inexplicable popularity of sending naked photos of yourself (what ever happened to giving your love a lock of your hair? So much more romantic!), using your dog's name as your password for everything, and a gnarly break-up, plus a few easy peasy keystrokes, and you've got an unfortunate recipe for public humiliation in the form everyone seeing your naughty bits and birthmarks. (Including your teachers and parents! GROSS!) And if you're famous, you've got even more to lose. Just ask pop stars like Miley Cyrus, Pete Wentz, Lily Allen, and more, who've had their naked or naughty photos accidentally shared with the world -- and fortunately recovered from the fall out to pull off career comebacks.

And remember -- if you're gonna take naked pictures of yourself... don't.

Cassie: Not only did Cassie make headlines recently for shaving half her head bald, but this week not one but two naked photos of her leaked online after they were stolen from her personal computer. Cassie admitted that the photos were hers, referred to the person who leaked the naked photos as "evil," and told the world that we all basically need to get over her boobies and get on with our lives.

Pete Wentz: Pete Wentz was sending naked Sidekick photos of himself back before it was all the rage -- and back when people still used Sidekicks. His naked photo incident went down in 2006, when Pete proved to the world, once and for all, that he really likes Morrissey. Pete himself summed up the penisgate incident quite succinctly when he told MTV News, "If you really don't want pictures of yourself to end up on the Internet, don't take the pictures." Wise words from the now-family man.

Vanessa Hudgens: Disney darling and "Sneakernight" singer Vanessa Hudgens suffered her own sex scandal when several naked and nearly-naked photos found their way to the Internet in 2007. Vanessa apologized to her fans, made four movies (including High School Musical 3) following the incident, and scrubbed away the scandal by continuing her stint as the face of Neutrogena. Vanessa was named one of People's most beautiful people in 2009, plus, she dates Zac Efron, so she wins.

+ Lily Allen, Miley, and Britney after the jump!

Other notables include Lily Allen and John Legend.

+ And here you have it, "the face of digital energy," the official album cover for Black Eyed Peas' "The E.N.D." It's supposed to be a blend of all four band members' faces, but I think it just looks like Fergie after a hard night of drinking, which could explain where her wig went. (Rap-Up)
