MTV Buzzworthy Blog › Samantha Ronson

While you might know Samantha Ronson for her skillz on the 1s and 2s, some of you might not know that Sam is also a singer/songwriter herself, and she has been for quite some time. (FYI: That totally fetch song "Built This Way" on the "Mean Girls" soundtrack? That's her!) Now Samantha's once again putting the turntables behind her on her debut album, Chasing The Reds, an 11-track collection with help from Slash, Wale and Phantom Planet's Alex Greenwald.

The title track finds Samantha picking up the guitar, chugging through a tense alt-rock song that reminds us of the garage attack of the Hives or long-gone lady trio Luscious Jackson. It's the first song we can think of that sounds this poetic about being pulled over by the po-po: "I'm looking ahead, I see lights flash behind/Blue, red and white like the fourth of July." Another song, "Until It's Yesterday," shows a lighter side of the musician, offering fairy tale-pretty acoustic guitars along with hand-claps and a kids' choir cuter than a Justin Bieber poster.

While we hope Ronson hasn't put her dancin' days completely behind her, we're intrigued to hear what's next. (And crossing our fingers for a co-headlining tour with brother Mark dubbed "Experience Ronson." Make it happen!) Chasing The Reds is out now on her own label, Broken Toys Records.

+ Listen to Samantha Ronson's "Chasing the Reds" and "Until It's Yesterday."

Guys, remember the good ol' days when Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony were still a couple? Us too! It was just last week! But alas, relationships come and go. Time marches on! Things change! Etc.! [Insert sad Snoopy GIF.]

Because we haven't been able to stop crying (not really -- we have jobs and pizza and stuff), we figured what better way to exorcise our collective breakup demons than to look at pictures of celebrities who have broken up too. Hence Buzzworthy's Saddest Celebrity Breakups photo gallery!

After the jump, take a look back to see whose splits made us the saddest. And in case you're feeling melancholy about an ex, remember that It Gets Better with the help of these wise words from Destiny's Child: "You thought that I was stressed without ya, but I'm chillin'/Thought I wouldn't sell with out ya, sold nine million." Keep on keepin' on, y'all.

+ Check out more celebrity breakup photos that made us sad after the jump!

Oh, hi. I'm Nicole Sia, and every week I'll be bringing you all of the important Internet happenings that you should know about this week in a convenient bullet-pointed list. Shall we begin?

1.) Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" video premiered today, and I'm really happy for her, but this "Sesame Street" mashup is one of the greatest mashups of all time! (Prefix Mag)

2.) Oh snap! Sir Elton John said "American Idol" is so boring that it's "brain crippling." Don't lie, you're kind of over that show, too. (PopEater)

3.) I'm not sure whether these album covers are true artifacts of a purported Saudi Arabian effort to Photoshop some modesty onto Mariah Carey, but they're still hilarious to look at. (Mediabum)

4.) A picture is worth a thousand words, so this glossary of animated gifs must speak a bajillion. (Jezebel)

5.) May I present to you the epically catchy, NSFW music video, "Being A D---head's Cool." Yeah, yeah, I'm a few weeks late on this one, but ripping on hipsters is timeless. (Buzzfeed)

6.) Possible caption for my favorite LOLcat photo of the week: "STRINGZ, I CAN TO PLAYS DEM." Got a better one? Leave it in the comments below.

7.) Dude, do NOT cross Taylor Swift. She just may write a song about you (see: Kanye West, Taylor Lautner, and now John Mayer). Buzzfeed's got the supposed lyrics to her new song, "Dear John."

8.) Kanye West made a stink that his nekkid angel lady album cover was "banned" even though it wasn't really officially banned or whatever. But here are 10 rap album covers that SHOULD be banned. Careful: Possible NSFW nipples ahead. (RapFix)

9.) Is Christina Aguilera switching teams? Radaronline.com is reporting that she's hanging out with famous Lohan lover Samantha Ronson. You gotta feel for Jordon Bratman on this one, folks.

10.) After the news that Justin Bieber is doing a nail polish line for OPI (for his GIRL fans, you guys!), Crushable ponders four more questionable celebrity product endorsements.

+ 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)

+ 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)

(Perez Hilton)

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.
