MTV Buzzworthy Blog › Made

Not that anyone needed to tell Sean Kingston this, but when RedOne calls to offer you his latest composition, you take that call.

Revealed in his new MTV Buzzworthy Blog "The 5" interview below, the young Jamaica hip-hop artist collaborated for his new single, "Fire Burning," with producer RedOne, who's behind Lady GaGa's "Poker Face" and "Just Dance" (perhaps you've heard those once or twice?). And OK, Sean was in Africa when RedOne called, so RedOne had to wait -- but you know Sean was pumped.

Check the video to hear Sean's insane list of bigwig collabos on his upcoming album, Tomorrow; quite impressive for someone his age, although Sean sure knows how to maintain relationships: this Twitter junkie stays connected on three technological fronts, even in the studio! Sean even gives fans a taste of his custom SK jewelry (although that clunker of a necklace stayed in the car).

Sean Kingston also performed "Fire Burning" at the MADE Hip Hop Dance Battle -- and the track is still chock-full of that synthy RedOne sound you know and you know you love.

Justin Tranter is extremely hard to miss, and not just because he's like a zillion and a half feet tall (and not just because he was on Made). But his electric yellow hair, perfectly smudged eyeliner, and those spike-heeled boots help too. So, when I saw the Semi Precious Weapons frontman in the front row at Richie Rich's show at Fashion Week this past February, I introduced myself (I have no shame) and asked him to come to MTV and talk about his edgy-yet-achievable style and how anyone who's not even anyone can go glam. Justin agreed, and -- bonus! -- we're now BlackBerry buddies!

Check out Justin Tranter's video guide to the five things every girl -- or guy -- needs to go glam and stay there! (Please... once you get there, stay there!)

And get even cuter tomorrow when House of Style returns to MTV tomorrow!

Oh hai! So, I was illin' like a villain all day, but I got an invite to Richie Rich's Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week show -- Richie Rich is half of what was (weep! RIP!) Heatherette, who were part of the original New York club kids when you were still in diapers, and they made Teyana Taylor's dress for her Super Sweet 16 debut, and they were the also the reason (besides Dolly Parton) that sequins and rhinestones were invented -- and realized I'd be a complete idiot to pass that up. (For reference, that's Richie in the photo all the way at the bottom, me [hi!], and Traver Rains of Heatherette at the Heatherette for MAC event last year.)

So I rallied for the cause and headed up to the Waldorf-Astoria (ridick and kinda gross), where a prissy lady in the lobby raised a brow when I walked by in my vintage '80s bicycle sweater. Um, apparently she hadn't noticed the drag queen deluge pouring in. It was total and absolute gayhem, which is a super-fun term I just made up! Anyway, the Richie Rich show was '90s amazing!

Even though it was his Fall '09 line, that didn't stop him from sending a model down the runway in a teensy weeny animal print bikini. Or sending Aubrey O'Day out in a hot pink frock. (And if you've been keeping up with Fashion Week, neons are back back back! Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors and Narciso, oh my! Not to mention, the Stephen Sprouse windows lighting up the Louis Vuitton store on Fifth Ave... ) Or opening the show with a live performance by Kat DeLuna! Or closing the show with Pamela Anderson in a gold lamé thong after Amanda Lepore ripped the runway. Yes. That happened. Anyway, the Richie Rich touch always = the most fashion fun in the world, so thanks, Richie (indirectly at least) for having me! Oh yeah, and I met Justin Tranter of Semi Precious Weapons (and he was on MADE -- the one where Michelle becomes a bassist) before the show started, and he was a gorgeous doll.

And for you keeping track on the Buzzworthy Twitter, here's a shot of Teyana Taylor, who was there in a bad-ass sequined majorette hat! (@Sk8Boardsqueez -- sorry, I was wrong -- when she first walked by I thought it was a little porkpie hat, but it was definitely no T-Pain hat!) She was so excited when I told her MTV fans on Twitter were excited that she was there in a suh-weet hat, and she was rocking the Wonder Woman hair again like she was at the MAC x Hello Kitty event the other week. And below that, though it's self-explanatory, that's Ice-T and wife Coco, who also attended the show. Coco was wearing a lot of clothes! For her.

Anyway, I'm the sure The Cut blog will have pix of Richie Rich's show. The Cut has been killing it, BTW -- they even got a severe close-up of Kanye's nub at the Alexandre Herchcovitch show. Thanks, guys!
