  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

I know that this is supposed to be an interview with Shwayze and you're watching it and you're saying, 'I see Shwayze, singer/emcee, performer of the summer breeze of song "Buzzin'." But who invited the Doobie Brothers roadie?'

Well, that's Cisco Adler, who you may remember from such hits as, "I Dated Mischa Barton" or "I Dated Lauren Conrad" or perhaps most notably, "I Am Most Notable For Having Some Naked Pictures Of Myself Wind Up On The Internet."

In truth, Shwayze is both one dude's name and the name of a group (or project) that encompasses said dude and Adler. So...they're like PJ Harvey, I guess.

Cisco and Shwayze are gathered to talk candy, frights and Fall; that's right, it's another episode of "Halloween Horrors." Adler recalls the rough streets of his Hawaii youth while Shwayze admits to being something of a Reese's thief.

If you've ever TiVoed The L Word, listened to The Murmurs or watched those cutesy Yoplait commercials -- you know, where two spoon-wielding thirtysomethings attempt to quantify the awesomeness of their yogurt cups ("Mmm, this is like 'shoe-shopping/catching the bouquet/burning this dress!' good!") -- then you've already seen Leisha Hailey in action, (although she's way hotter in her current role).

These days, the actress (and former k.d. lang dater) is throwing all her efforts back into music, teaming up with keyboardist Camila Grey to create the trance-y, electro-pop duo, Uh Huh Her. And while the twosome's name is an homage to PJ Harvey, their sound is more like a more electro version of Annie Lennox, minus the Bowie-esque androgyny.

So check out their new video, "Not a Love Song," and decide whether Leisha should keep cashing those yogurt royalty checks or pursue music full time. And, see if you can make any sense out of the creepy white unicorn. Personally, the one in Mariah's "Touch My Body" clip is slightly less freaky, but if unicorns are taking the place of yachts as the new cliched video prop, then we'll take 'em.
