+ If you were tethered to a railroad track somewhere and didn't watch the Making The Band 4 season finale, you missed Donnie Klang pulling his shirt up for no reason (we're not complaining) and a tense exchange between Danity Kane ex-members Dawn Richards and Aubrey O'Day. Check out the re-cap. (Remote Control)

+ Even at 16, Miley Cyrus is breaking records all over the place.  She is now the youngest musician ever to have three no. 1albums on the Billboard 200.  Can you guess who previously held the record? (Hint: Think bare feet and Cheetos -- Brit Brit was 19 at the time). (PopCrunch)

+ Records aren't the only thing Britney's lost lately: One of her hair extensions was accidentally ripped out by a dancer on her Circus tour. (Did we ever think her hair was real?) (The Evil Beet)

+ Lindsay Lohan continues to be the picture of misery as she goes through a tumultuous breakup with DJ Samantha Ronson. Can't this girl just go on vacation somewhere far, far away for a long, long time? (Socialite Life)

+ Man, we love us some Katy Perry but she sure can pick out some UGGGGLY pant suits! (Just Jared)

+ And in the completely unsaturated men's fragrance market, we have Common releasing a new scent with Diesel that he will tour the country to support.  Could it be worse than Diddy's Unforgivable? (NME)

+ MTV's documentary Britney: For The Record came out on DVD yesterday and with it, a few bonus scenes of the Britster -- including this one that touched us like a table of finger food backstage at her Circus Tour VIP pre-party. (Pink Is The New Blog)

+ Rihanna's on the cover of Vibe magazine this month to accompany a pretty telling interview with Chris Brown quoted back from 2007. Kinda creeps us out... (Vibe)

+ Amy Winehouse recently left a trail of tears around a hotel pool in St. Lucia, first streaking topless while mumbling lots of crazy, then riding around every which way on horseback. (Daily Mail)

+ In case the current economic clime hasn't taken its toll on your fanny pack and you've got an extra 500 bucks to blow, Britney's got a "Toxic VIP Tour Package" that will blow. your. mind. (Britney Spears Blackout)

+ Possibly celebrating her last season on The Hills, Lauren Conrad and her boyfriend Kyle Howard let loose on the beach.  (Socialite Life)

+ It was pretty much all Lindsay Lohan ALL THE TIME this weekend. We could barely keep up with all the mayhem! Let's see: a warrant was issued for Lindsay's arrest. After which, she was secret Twittering. She and Samantha Ronson were fighting. And, uhm... it was kinda total freaking chaos. And, it turns out, maybe the whole thing was a misunderstanding? Huh? (MTV News)

+ Know what amazes the crap out of me? Despite ALL the shiz that's gone down with Michael Jackson, the dude can STILL sell out concerts like nobody's bizness. We are a forgiving people. (Evil Beet)

+ Uh, apparently British comedian/ persona non grata #1 amongst Jonas Brothers fans Russell Brand hasn't had a chance to read our round-up of Miley Cyrus' new book Miles To Go. Cause he doesn't get why a 16-year-old is writing a memoir... and also he kinda told her to STFU. (Ace Showbiz)

+ Jonas Brothers were in the Bahamas this weekend. I wanna job where I can work from the Bahamas. (JonasHQ)

+ Lady Gaga brought some of her special brand of GAH to Flight of The Conchords this weekend. It was GAH-tastic? (We guess? We don't have HBO anymorez. Grrrr, recession!). (Evil Beet)

+ Are Rihanna and Chris Brown back on again (!?!??!??!!?) They spent time this weekend at Diddy's compound near Miami. And Chris Brown showed the world he's sorry by going Jet Skiing. (MTV News)

+ ALSO, Rihanna's father has no probs with this latest development. (People)

+ ICYMI, a little movie called Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience came out this weekend. And if you happened to go catch the flick at the Palisades Center Mall in NJ, you may just be waking up from your real-life Jonas encounter fainting spell. YES, this is real life. (Gothamist)

+ MOTHER CHUCKER!--Blair and Serena are going to just DIE. Like d-e-a-d. Word on the street is No Doubt is going to perform on the May 11th season finale of Gossip Girl. (Stereogum)

+ Looks like U2 frontman Bono + Coldplay frontman  Chris Martin narrowly avoided adding their names to our Top 5 Celebrity Brawls list. You see, Bono was TOTALLY "just joking" when he called Martin a "completely dysfunctional character and a cretin." OH and also a  "wanker." That was a joke, people!  Can't you take a j-o-k-e?? (Perez Hilton)

+ Miley Cyrus went jogging with her HAWWWWWTNESS "special friend" Justin Gaston. We only have two words for her: sports bra (D Listed)

+ British singer/PETA enthusiast Leona Lewis is reportedly penning her memoirs. (Billboard)

+ Today is both Hilary Duff Download Day AND the day Nancy Kerrigan got whacked in the knees at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Detroit back in 1994! Ah memories! (Oh-Hilary.com)

You thought National Geographic was all early man, maps, and icecaps, rights? Wrongs! The 120-year-old magazine (that's even older than McCain!) just released a new book, PEACE: The Biography of a Symbol, along with a small line of super cute, definitely-not-for-old-people peace sign shirts. It's equal parts happy face Miley Cyrus and scowly face Samantha Ronson.

And despite global warming heating up Ye Olde Planet Erf like a big blue meanie, it's starting to get chilly in these here points east, so the peace sign-covered hoodie above is 100% perfect for stayin' roasty toasty... and non violent.

The peace sign hoodie is $48 at Delia's, while Gym Class Heroes' "Peace Sign / Index Down" is slightly more aggressive but totally free.

+ Although Travis Barker and DJ AM sustained significant second and third-degree burns from Friday night's plane crash, both are slated to make full recoveries.

+ What do Metallica and Run DMC have in common? Not much, other than both might be headed for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. (Rolling Stone)

+ For those of you who (wisely!) missed the 2008 Emmy Awards, here's the 3-minute recap. (Best Week Ever)

+ It's Ashanti, like you never heard her before ... literally! (Billboard)

+ Sure, we already know who won all the real 2008 Video Music Awards. But what about all the fun made-up categories?? (You know, like Ashlee Simpson for Sexiest Mother-To-Be! Ne-Yo for Most Gangsta Chic! Travis McCoy/Katy Perry for Cutest Couple!)

Check out these backstage pics and red carpet photos and tell us your picks...Creativity is a definite plus, but if you choose Lindsay/Sam or Paris/Benji for Cutest Couple, be prepared to defend yourselves. (C'mon, Travis' bowtie even matches Katy's little glittery barrette thingy! HOW MUCH MORE PERFECT CAN YOU GET??)

+ And speaking of numbers, that song Kanye West performed at the VMAs? He only wrote it, like, a week and a half ago. And apparently, it's his "favorite song 2 date!!" (MTV)

+ Meanwhile, we all know Britney Spears has three Moonmen, two kids and one stunning figure. But does she still have a shot at superstardom? (MTV)

+ Hey, so the VMAs might be over, but the behind-the-scenes tidbits are still flooding in! Among the stuff you missed? Panic at the Disco's stubborn refusal to be fashionably late. (Newsroom)

+ Plus, it's never too late to relive the most talked-about moments from the show and amazing live performances. Because there's nothing like seeing a heavily eyelinered Rihanna rip through "Disturbia/Seven Nation Army" -- without a single mohawked hair out of place. (MTV)

+ And in non-VMAs news...the lead singer of Color Me Badd (impressively!) finds a way to make New Kids On the Block look good less crappy by comparison. (Scandalist)

+ Finally, recessions have never been so profitable! Young Jeezy's new album easily holds off NKOTB and opens at #1 on the Billboard 200. (MTV)

+ After winning three awards, not flubbing her lines and looking beyond gawgeous, Britney Spears is already being hailed as the 2008 VMAs' official "comeback kid." Which explains the three shiny silver Moonmen and pageant-worthy smile. (MTV)

+ Needless to say, over-the-top VMAs host Russell Brand enthusiastically agreed. "Consider this the resurrection of Britney Spears," he told reporters. "If there was a female Christ, it's Britney." What's more, Brand predicts this is just the beginning. "This could be the dawning of a new age for America," he mused. (MTV)

+ Meanwhile, Brand's big mouth got him into some trouble when he poked fun at the Jonas Brothers' chastity rings, prompting celebs to take sides. Natch, we already know where Jordin Sparks stands. But now? Paris Hilton surprises us by affirming she's Team Purity, all the way. GO JO! (MTV)

+ And Kanye West explains why he gave the VMAs another chance. (MTV)
