Noel Gallagher and I have a lot in common. He has a younger sibling, Liam. They both sang together in Oasis. I also have a younger sister and we've sung together (but the taped proof of that was destroyed like I asked, right, Mom?). He has a cat, and I've had cats. My sister and I've had big fights. Noel and Liam? They've had epic ones. Noel plays and has written amazing songs on the guitar, and I, um, own a guitar. Oh, and we shared a convo a while back, too.

I mean, other than Noel's big hits and gazillions of records sold, really, we're like twins. OK, maybe not so much, but in his interview with Jim Shearer on VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live," Noel's so down-to-earth and funny that it's hard not to believe he's just like one of us (you know, minus the star status and musical talent). He talks about why his new project's called "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds" ("I didn't think my name was glamorous enough"), the "making of" documentary for his debut eponymous album (he jokes how he wished he would "shut up" when he watched it), and his cat, who was recently neutered. When Shearer asks what Noel does when hanging with his cat, Noel responds, "At the minute, we mourn his testicles." Noel also reveals that "life is too short" to tweet. Though he says if he tweeted, "I would probably be THE BEST tweeter of all time." You got us there, Noel.

+ Katy Perry announced during her appearance on "Ellen" that she's thanking fans by renting out L.A.'s Staples Center and playing a free (!!!) show on Nov. 23. She also said she wants kids, but not too soon: "If it doesn't hurt the first time, I'll keep popping them out." (E!)

+ Lady Gaga released a photo from her forthcoming "Marry The Night" video. She (or maybe Jo Calderone?) is lying on a gurney with two nurses beside her. #mysterious (Neon Limelight)

+ Nicki Minaj and David Guetta will open the 2011 American Music Awards on Nov. 20 with their collabos "Where Them Girls At" and "Turn Me On." Other performers include Justin Bieber, Kelly Clarkson, Christina Aguilera and Katy Perry. (Rap-Up)

+ Noel Gallagher wants to make something clear: He's NOT gunning for an Oasis reunion. He told MTV News his words were misconstrued by a journalist, adding, "It isn't going to take place. Do I look desperate? No, I'm not desperate at all." (MTV News)

+ Broken Social Scene kissed us goodbye (sniffle) with their self-proclaimed final concert, which took place in Brazil. Watch them cover U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and Beastie Boys' "Funky Boss," before playing their own "Major Label Debut (Fast)." (Pitchfork)

+ "Gossip Girl" actress and The Pretty Reckless singer Taylor Momsen wants to write music with Oasis' Noel Gallagher. No word on which four-letter word(s) Noel chose for his response yet. (Spinner)

+ Twitter may be an increasingly shrinking object in Miley Cyrus' rearview mirror, as The Last Song star left its confines last fall. But that hasn't stopped her from dissing it from afar. Apparently not being attached to the Internet turns your life into the "Party In The U.S.A." video. "I'm a lot less on my phone, I'm a little bit more social. I have a lot more real friends as opposed to friends who are on the Internet who I'm talking to." Cyrus: 1, Internet: 0. (MTV News)

+ Buzzworthy told you about Ryan Good, a.k.a. Justin Bieber's Swagger Coach, a.k.a. The JB's Style Genie a while back. So imagine how dismayed we were to hear that, according to sources at Bieber's label, "swagger coach" is not an official title, and Good is, more likely, a lowly assistant. "If your job qualifications are 'Usher called me and said he thought Justin would benefit from being around a cool white boy,' then, no, I don't think you're doing anything real." (E! Online)

+ Gaga, Glee: It is, apparently, on. After roping in top-line talent like Jennifer Lopez and Neil Patrick Harris for upcoming episodes, Glee creator Ryan Murphy has pulled off something of a coup by lining up Lady Gaga for a future episode. According to Murphy, "We reached out to Lady Gaga and she said, 'Yes, I'd love to be a part of it.' So we will be doing Lady Gaga this season." Now whether this will mean she will actually be appearing or they will just be doing a Gaga-themed episode (à la the show's upcoming all-Madonna ep), remains to be seen. (Limelife)

+ Following in the footsteps of Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg is rumored to be making an appearance at this summer's Glastonbury festival. Hova famously became the first hip-hop act to headline the legendary U.K. festival in 2008, performing a version of Oasis' "Wonderwall" during his set in the face of Noel Gallagher's objections to having a rapper headline the traditionally rock and dance-oriented fest. Snoop would be joining the likes of U2 and Muse at this year's show. (Spinner)

+ And, finally, we leave you with something that absolutely, positively needs to happen. Nicki Minaj has publicly voiced her desire to work with Beyoncé, telling BET, "I think I could come up with some crazy stuff for Beyoncé. ... I have things that I write for girls, like R&B singers." (Rap-Up)

+ Sad news at this hour: DJ AM was found dead in his NYC apartment this afternoon, apparently of a drug overdose. From everything we've heard, he was a really nice guy all around and will be sorely missed. (MTV News)

+ Country music darling Carrie Underwood reminded us all why we like her so much, donating hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of instruments to her high school alma mater. (People)

+ Pop star Miley Cyrus performed her new single "Party In The U.S.A." to a max-capacity crowd at the TODAY show in NYC this morning, holdin' on to those high notes for dear life (but managing to let go of the stripper pole this time around). (E! Online)

+ Weezer's Rivers Cuomo admitted to Rolling Stone this week that their debut single "Undone - The Sweater Song" was a complete rip-off (intentionally or otherwise) of a Metallica song. (Rolling Stone)

+ For those of us longing for the old Mariah Carey and wondering why she's been peddling s%*# for the last few years, lady is BACK with her new cover of Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is." (Neon Limelight)

+ What do you do if you're Lindsay Lohan and a store who loaned you two million dollars worth of jewelry comes a'knockin' for it? You say your safe was STOLEN, of course. HEY! It's a recession!! Gotta be frugal! (The Superficial)

Those of you born after 1989 probably know Oasis in one of three ways:

1) You heard their smash hit, "Wonderwall," at your friend's I Love the 90's theme party.
2) You read (on your iPhone) about their bizarro feud with Jay-Z at Glastonbury
3) You never knew of their existence until earlier this month, when some crazy middle-aged person ran on stage and shoved whatshisface into a giant monitor speaker.

Thing is, no matter how you know Oasis, we have a feeling you're gonna fall hard for their new video, "The Shock of the Lightning." Seriously, there's something in it for everyone! Rock history geeks will dig how the opening shot is a clear shout-out to the the cover of the Rolling Stones' Hot Rocks 1964-1971 album, and old-school Oasis fans will love that the song is as infectiously hooky as, say, "Champagne Supernova."

So check out Oasis' new vid, "Shock of the Lightning," then compare it to the Oasis you've only read about in the ol' history books. Sure, their comeback may not be as flashy or exciting as, say, Britney Spears', but we have a feeling you might be pleasantly surprised! And, more importantly, just interested enough to watch.
