You know how sometimes you see someone doing something that you do, only they're doing way more or way less of it, and it makes you feel better about your own life? (Like when your brother only sends a card for Mother's Day but you sent flowers -- SCORE.) Well, you can thank Pete Wentz for making us all feel OK about our own caffeine consumption. Dude was spotted in L.A. recently gallivanting around with two VENTIS, guys. Sure, one could be for someone else, but where's the story in that?

The former Fall Out Boy has been keeping a low profile lately, but we're glad to see he looks happy and healthy. But 60 ounces of coffee usually make me feel pretty happy, too. But it also kind of makes me feel a little bit like Jessie Spano in that one episode of "Saved By The Bell" where's she's so excited... she's so excited... she's so... SCARED! But isn't that how every morning should start? 60 ounces of caffeine and a mild panic attack? Just me?

When we first told you about "Moustachette" way back in 2009, we didn't really have much of a clue what the indie film starring Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump along with Yellowcard's Ryan Key would be about. We only knew we were in for a hilarious "quest for truth in a blanket of stupidity." Now that we've finally seen the full-length, 17-minute movie, we can tell you that... we still have no clue what's going on here.

Here's what we think might happen in "Moustachette": Patrick Stump plays a kind of down-and-out loser type, and he wants to be more like Pete Wentz's charismatic character. After some serious weirdness goes down with Yellowcard's Ryan Key (some kind of fake infomercial touting "Moustachette" is involved, IDK), I think the audience is supposed to realize that boisterous and rowdy Ryan is somehow Patrick's mentor? And after some soul searching and sleeping in a car, Patrick finally grows a backbone, takes a cue from Key and stands up to his jerk girlfriend.

Truth be told, we're not really sure what "Moustachette" is about or why it has that title or anything else regarding the plot. What we do know is there are enough F-bombs in the film to warrant a round of applause from Odd Future, and there are three guys from bands that we like in it. So that's enough for us to press "Play"!

The Reggaeton/electro-pop-inspired Black Cards took the stage at Lollapalooza this weekend, and it happened to be in front of their biggest audience yet. Not bad considering the duo, made up of Pete Wentz and Bebe Rexha, haven't even released their debut album yet. Their set at the festival was intended to give Black Cards fans a sense of "Black Cards 2.0," since during the early stages of the band Pete didn't think he was giving it his all. "I don't feel like I was able to completely immerse myself in it, because I had all these other things going on in my life," he told MTV News.

Well, it sounds like now Black Cards are ready to go for it as the band turns up the volume with their new single, "Take Me Down (Higher)." Singer Bebe Rexha lets loose as listeners can hear an almost M.I.A.-like carefreeness in her vocals. And when they're paired with the super fun electro backing track, what you get is a pretty solid mid-tempo pop song. We've said before that their earlier track "Club Called Heaven" gave us a No Doubt Rock Steady vibe, but this time the band threw in what kind of sounds like music from Tetris. A unique combo, but it works.

The Black Cards debut album will feature appearances by Travie McCoy, Neon Trees frontman Tyler Glenn and Shaggy. (Seriously. That Shaggy.) No release date has been set.

+ Listen to Black Cards, "Take Me Down (Higher)."

+ As you might have suspected, Blink-182's Mark Hoppus is pumped for fans to hear their new single, "Up All Night," dropping tomorrow, June 15. "[The song] contains elements of everything we've done in Blink-182 and pushes further than we've gone before." (MTV News)

+ Nicole Scherzinger released the cover art for her latest single, "Wet," and it's not nearly as suggestive as you might think. In fact, we might even call it conservative. (That Grape Juice)

+ In case you missed it, Rap-Up has the entire Nicki Minaj E! special for your viewing pleasure. Check it out to hear Nicki speak about her childhood, attending a performing arts high school and finally getting signed to Young Money. (Rap-Up)

+ Nick Jonas answered a few questions from the press before he hit the batting cages to practice for the 2011 Taco Bell All-Star Legends & Celebrity Softball Game. That's great and everything, but all I'm thinking is, "Why isn't this dude my BF?" (Just Jared Jr.)

+ After costar Mila Kunis was invited to the Marine Corps ball via a YouTube video, now Justin Timberlake is getting the same treatment. Corporal Kelsey De Santis, the only female at the Martial Arts Center for Excellence, extended an invite to JT. Serve your country and go! (Just Jared)

+ "I was a tweetaholic," John Mayer said as to why he quit the social networking site. "[Twitter] started to make my mind smaller and smaller and smaller. And I couldn't write a song." At least he probably won't be caught in a Twitpic scandal any time soon. (Rolling Stone)

+ Avril Lavigne threw out the first pitch at a Tampa Bay Rays game this past weekend, and whoops, she also tossed out a few curse words to the crowd after a technical glitch during a postgame concert. We guess you can take Avril out of the skate park, but you can't take the skate park out of Avril. (ONTD)

+ Iconic poet and musician Gil Scott-Heron passed away on Friday in New York after a lifelong battle with drug addiction. Best known for his work "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," Scott-Heron is arguably the first-ever hip-hop artist. (Rolling Stone)

This ain't a scene, it's a goddam blog post! Fall Out Boy bassist, emo heartthrob and clothing line entrepreneur Pete Wentz was spotted at the 13th Annual Young Hollywood Awards over the weekend in Hollywood, California, with this mystery brunette on his arm. Who do you think it could be?

A) His sister
B) His new girlfriend
C) His Black Cards bandmate, Bebe Rexha 

If you guessed C, you're right -- although these two do make quite a handsome-looking couple. The duo mugged it up on the red carpet before the awards show and then went on to play a couple songs during the festivities. No word as to when the band's debut album will come out, although Wentz has been quoted as saying, somewhat jokingly, fans should expect it sometime during "the month of summer" of this year.

Visiting the Milk And Bookies Second Annual Story Time Celebration in Los Angeles on Sunday, Ashlee Simpson brought along her bundle of joy, Bronx Mowgli, whose adorable face is living up to his equally adorable name. Sure, Ashlee (and now-ex Pete Wentz) may have initially received flack for coming up with such an "unusual" name for their kid, but the little tater tot looks like he's owning that ish like a superstar. From the looks of it, widdle Bronx got his blond curls from his Mama (although the jury's out on who gave him those apple-red chipmunk cheeks, which are definitely begging for a soft pinch).

Ashlee and Bronx showed up at the event alongside other proud parents Jack Black and Maya Rudolph, all in attendance in support for Milk and Bookies, a program that promotes reading and community work, and allows kids to select and donate books to those less fortunate.

And if a recent photo of Bronx with his daddy is any indication, the little dude's got quite the array of sweaters to choose from. Sorry, Bill Cosby!

We're still coming down from our mtvU Woodie Awards high, but the show must go on. Let's talk Twitter!

Demi Lovato returned to Twitter this week after logging off for a bit during her stint in a treatment facility. Glad to see you back and healthy, girl! Katy Perry tweeted about some "#popstarproblems" (we have somehow never run into those), and Rihanna reached a startling 4 MILLION followers. And OMFG BRITNEY SPEARS TWEETED A PIC FROM THE SET OF HER "TILL THE WORLD ENDS" MUSIC VIDEO OMFG!!!!!!!!

Also this week, there was tons of Woodie Awards talk. Pete Wentz got a peek at Odd Future's stage setup before they performed and had a very accurate premonition: "Odd future performance looks like it's gonna be insane...." Um, it was -- to say the least.

We were also at the Woodies working hard, but in our downtime we got to explore the sights and sounds of SXSW in Austin: "I rode a pedicab with my boss to a Har Mar [Superstar] show." Running a blog is grueling work sometimes, guys. Honestly. Backbreaking stuff.
