+ Tuesday LOLz: 75-year old CNN dinosaur Larry King was out grabbing a sandwich at an L.A. deli when he mistook Gwen Stefani for Christina Aguilera (and only realized his mistake after he asked for an autograph for his son and saw that the signature wasn't right). FAIL! (PopCrunch)

+ Katy Perry (who is reportedly back together with boyfriend Travis McCoy) is a hard-working woman with curves, and she ain't hawking shoes to pay the bills. For now, anyway. Hey -- something's gotta pay for her fashion obsession! (Star Magazine)

+ While we're on the K.P. tip, holy GOD does Ms. Perry make me want to take a cold shower after seeing her in the new issue of Complex magazine. Must. Print. These. Immediately. (Complex)

+ The Black Eyed Peas have been releasing track previews from their upcoming album The E.N.D., and the latest (which just happens to be the second off the album), "I Got A Feeling," sounds like it will be the summer anthem of 2009. (Neon Limelight)

+ Weezer lead singer Rivers Cuomo says to get ready for your very own Weezer-branded "Snuggie." Do you think he's really serious?! (The Tripwire)

+ If it's hard for you to believe that 25-year old Mandy Moore was recently married to singer Ryan Adams, then you're not the only one who's getting used to it. (People)

+ FInally, former Wilco (who Mandy Moore namechecked in a recent Buzzworthy video interview) band member Jay Bennett  passed away in his sleep this past weekend. (MTV News)

Watching Mandy Moore on "The 5," you can tell she is as much an actress as she is a musician. Her face is so animated that you could sit through this MTV.com interview with the sound off and still get a real good feel for what her new album's like: grown-up, sincere and ever-so-slightly self-deprecating.

Whether or not her recent marriage to new-country's punk prince, Ryan Adams, has directly affected her music, she doesn't say. But she does name-check Wilco while describing the sound she's after. Her debut Amanda Leigh single, "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week" isn't exactly "Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under," but it's definitely got a twang to it.

Manning that twang is producer Mike Viola, the guy who actually wrote and sang "That Thing You Do." Introduced by Mandy's buddy Inara George (The Bird And The Bee), the two hit it off immediately and quickly had an album on their hands. But why don't I let Mandy tell the rest. She says it all so... clearly. Only thing that's sorely lacking from this interview is her Ultimate Fighting fetish, but that's why you've got Google!

Check out Mandy Moore's new interview below, and watch her new "I Could Break Your Heart Any Day Of The Week" video after the jump! Plus, stream Wilco's new album, Wilco (The Album), on mtvU!

Alex Greenwald -- Phantom Planet frontman, Mark Ronson collaborator, and former model -- used to be so freaking hot it was almost impossible to look at him without thinking "nasty thoughts," as Janet Jackson once said. But not long ago, a paparazzi photo popped up in which the once-smokin' Alex looked like a straight-up hobo. Still, who'd he have hanging on his arm? British supermodel and Met Ball belle Agyness Deyn.

While we've got no problem with some slight shagginess, Alex Greenwald has seen better days, and his unkempt hair looks gnarlier than ever. (A tip: lather, rinse, repeat... repeat... repeat...) Still, Alex bagged a supermodel, so maybe the joke's on us.

Anyway, the shaggy/smoldering combo of Alex Greenwald and Agyness Deyn reminded us of some more hot chicks and the mangy men they love. So check out more of Buzzworthy's favorite guys who look like they live in boxcars and the beautiful babes who love them anyway.

Ryan Adams: Alt-country musician Ryan Adams won the heart of pop-folk singer Mandy Moore, who's had high-profile romances with tennis hunk Andy Roddick as well as Wilmer Valderrama and Zach Braff, while Ryan dated pretty Parker Posey. But it was ultra-shaggy Ryan who swept Mandy off her feet: Ryan and Mandy got married just last month. Hopefully the groom, uh, groomed for the big day.

Alex DeLeon: Okay, Alex DeLeon -- who's been linked to the radiant Demi Lovato -- used to be way more polished, but when he came to MTV for The Cab's Buzzworthy interview in March 2009, his broken-ended hair, fuzzy facial hair and leather accessories kinda made him look like he was running from the law. Bring back unquestionably hot Alex!

Ben Gibbard: Indie superstar Ben Gibbard's sensitive vocals are the perfect match for Zooey Deschanel. Zooey, dubbed "the rich man's Katy Perry" -- oh snap! -- by one site, has had leading roles in a slew of movies like Elf, where she showed off her vocal cords and her adorablility. Even though the oft-unshaven Ben's been featured on UglyMales.com (to the objection of many commenters, to be fair), he and Zooey matched up not only musically, but they're also engaged. Aww! Indie romance!

Joe Trohman: It's clear that Pete Wentz-ian man-glam is not Joe Trohman's style. But there are other ways to stand out besides looking like a homeless man who wandered off the street and onto the stage. His disheveled, mountain-man look has still been described as "wonderfully hobo-esque meets Jesus." True! We're not saying Joe's not hot. We just miss his From Under The Cork Tree-era/ "Dance Dance" short hair. Still, he nabbed a super-cute girl and put a ring on dat; he and Marie (above) are engaged.

Though they’re only 27, twin sisters Tegan and Sara have been making music and exploring indie-folk, indie-rock and everything in between for nearly a decade. And while they’ve never had a chart-topping smash in the U.S. or won a Grammy, the Canadian siblings sold out American venues on their ongoing world tour so quickly that they had to squeeze in extra dates.

Their harmony-laced, acoustic-guitar-driven catalog has been acclaimed by the likes of Neil Young (yes that Neil Young) — who signed them to his Vapor Records label — as well as Ryan Adams, Rufus Wainwright and Death Cab For Cutie’s Chris Walla, who produced their fifth and most recent studio album, The Con, which saw the sisters move into more mature songwriting territory, testing New Wave waters with esteemed Weezer bassist Matt Sharp and Hunter Burgan of AFI.

But their predisposition to prolific songwriting, while impressive, is hardly even half of the allure. Aside from pitch-perfect harmonies and their intense, honest lyrics, what also really stands out about Tegan and Sara Quin is their keep-it-real appeal. Their down-to-earth, approachable nature lends itself to their immediate fan connection. For The Con, the duo released an entire making-of DVD, giving fans an up-close, in-their-own-words look at the process of writing and record the album. There are even entire websites devoted to their celebrated stage banter.

And speaking of celebrating, we’re doing just that all week. You can catch Tegan and Sara on MTV all week! Watch all of their on-air clips of footage they shot in Toronto exclusively for their Artist Of The Week run (the photos above were taken on the set) -- including their lawn chair acoustic sessions and driving lessons -- plus concert clips and more.

Check out their version of "Back In Your Head" now and tell us why you love the sisters Quin.

It seems like Ryan Adams always has something to gripe about. Last night he apparently pitched a fit in front of a Minneapolis audience … an encore presentation of his 2003 performance in the same city when he continuously complained about the sound system and talked smack about beloved local rocker Paul Westerberg. This time Ryan left Paul out of his ramblings but spent much of his 70-minute set bitching about the sound system. He moved around monitors, microphones and guitar pedals hoping to correct the problem. The crowd booed at the end of his ADD-riddled performance and he didn't come back for an encore.

Local newspaper the Star Tribune caught up with a couple members of his band after the gig and, well, they didn't seem to want to talk about was going on with Ryan. Guitarist Neal Casal dodged controversy by saying, "I just play guitar." While guitarist Jon Graboff was equally vague: "What can I say? Ryan's the boss." Nuff said.
