In this Tweet Toon -- our rolling series of celeb tweets rendered as cartoons using Bitstrip -- We find Sara Bareilles out engaging in some retail therapy when she feels herself overtaken by the holy spirit of ousted American Idol judge Paula Abdul. The need to dance ensued.

Female folk-pop fans -- Mandy Moore, Yael Naim, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson, Brandi Carlile (you know = "smart-girl songwriters") -- please assure me that the tremendously talented Amie Miriello is already on your radar. Yes? Good. Did we not tell you about her back in August, right before she released her album, I Came Around? Indeed we did.

So, Amie Miriello just released a brand-new video entitled... "Brand New," directed by Chris Berkenkamp, and it's an artful series of summer snapshots and memories wrapped around a hypnotically sensual chorus that'll make you yearn for a couple of reckless summer flings, no matter how dysfunctional. And yes, that is Nick Lachey.

(Oh yeah, and David Archuleta fans -- Amie's on Team Archie too since they toured together earlier this year. But you knew that.)

These days, everyone who's anyone is partying over in the Twitterverse (bonus -- you don't even have to leave your couch!), and celebs are no exception. Also, if you don't know what Twitter is, a.) Seriously?!, and b.) Watch this.

Anyway, we here at Buzzworthy love Twitter because, well, we Tweet! But also, we love Twitter because the sheer entertainment value of following your favorite celeb CANNOT be overlooked. We've laughed, we've cried, we've poked our eyes out (after reading John Mayer's penis-falling-asleep Tweet) and attempted to set our keyboards on fire (ENERGY!). But we always come back for more.

So, herewith is our roundup of our favorite, must-follow celebrities who Twitter.

CLASS A CRAZIES: This group includes the "must-follows" -- the celebrities whose Tweets are so friggin' BANOODLES you simply cannot miss them.
+ Diddy (@iamdiddy) -- If you follow NO ONE else on this list, please, please, please follow Diddy. (LET'S GO, PEOPLE!)
+ MC Hammer (@MCHammer) -- Apparently he was hiding an early adopter in those glittery Hammer pants!
+ Shaqille O'Neill (@THE_REAL_SHAQ) -- Shaq lives in Twitteronia.
+ Snoop Dogg (@snoopdogg) -- His "izzle" talk just slays me every time. Occassionally Tweets while toking.
+ Steve Buscemi (@steve_buscemi) -- He hates penguins!
+ Solange Knowles (@solangeknowles) -- Love Solange, but when is she NOT Twittering. I think she's the sole reason Twitter keeps crashing.
+ Xzibit (@mrxtothaz)
+ Ryan Seacrest (@RyanSeacrest) -- Dude Tweets DURING COMMERCIAL BREAKS of American Idol! HOW IS THAT EVEN ALLOWED?
+ Lily Allen (@lilyroseallen) -- Lily still kinda hates Perez Hilton, and they are FOREVER back-and-forthing forever on Twitter.

+ Spencer Pratt (@prattspencer) -- Sometimes he's on the Bible train too, and he once even compared himself to Jesus. Epic.

FAMOUS BUT KINDA BORING: This group is dependable though almost never shocking. But they're all famous, so they've usually got somewhat interesting things to say. Just don't expect ALL CAPS Diddy rants or Lily Allen vs. Perez Hilton feuds):

+ Dave Navarro (@davenavarro6767) -- Tweets about being bored and playing video games. Fair enough, we say!
+ John Mayer (@johncmayer) -- He's become a bit of a mad Twitterer lately, and I'm actually a little tempted to move him to the above category. He once Tweeted about his penis falling asleep.

More celebrities on Twitter after the jump!

Perhaps I should've attempted to adjust my TV, but aside from that T.I., M.I.A., Jay-Z, Wayne hip-hop all-stars performance and Coldplay's ongoing Fisher-Price-meets-Sgt. Pepper troop trope (yaaaaaaaawwwwwwnnn... and I DID NOT need to see that much of Chris Martin's treasure trail!) the 2009 Grammys might as well have been broadcast in black and white.

From the Jonas Brothers, to Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift and even Kid Rock (who usually doesn't leave the house unless it's in something that demonstrates his affinity for a BeDazzler and a pound or two of rhinestones) kept it a funereal black and white, though they all pulled it off with elegant panache. In short, aside from the few mod metallics, and Katy Perry, the 2009 Grammys were all about sobering, somber chic! For real, I thought I was going temporarily colorblind.

Anyway, let's get to it!

Jonas Brothers: True, the Jonas Brothers didn't win the Grammy they were up for, but getting to share a stage with Stevie Wonder was prize enough, IMO. Fashion-wise, their red carpet tuxedo trio was pretty much what you'd expect from the capable hands of stylist Michelle Tomaszewski. My favorite was Nick Jonas' head-to-toe black Burberry suit. Kevin Jonas' Versace suit subtly set him apart as the elder statesmen of the three. Joe's metallic Versace jacket was a little too Vegasy for my tastes, but I always appreciate that he takes fashion risks. Also, BTW, did you see Denise? WOAH, mama, she looked amazing! As for the Jonas Brothers' performance looks: Nick was in Dior, and I LOVED that his look was a little bit Danny Zucko in Grease, less the schmaltz, a little bit James Dean, a tiny bit old-school Faith-era George Michael, and a WHOLE LOT grown up. Honestly, Joe's performance look wasn't doing THAT much for me. Don't get me wrong -- he looked perfect as always, but Nick really stood out so much that he overshadowed Joe, who could've gone a little farther than just the ripped Requel Allegra tee and Dior vest and jeans. By the way, that eye-popping necklace was by Swiss designer Avakian, and while I'm sure it was stunning in person, it distracted on screen (Was it a cassette tape? A jeweled cracker? Bingo card? Billion-dollar iPod? No clue!) and took away from his Mick Jagger swagger. It would've made more sense for Joe to wear a fitted jacket, especially with Kevin all like "Oh hai, I'm just over here nailing this performance and coming out with a 3D movie and a TV show and we're gonna be on Saturday Night Live and everything" in a swish Versace suit. But back to the Jonas Brothers' performance: Not just ANYBODY gets to cover "Superstition," and this performance completely put the Jonas Brothers on the map... for the two people whose maps the Jonas Brothers weren't already on. Seriously though, that performance was icon-status-sealing and could finalize their move out of the teen-pop mold; it showed skeptics that the Jonas Brothers aren't just bubblegum, they can (for the trilllionth time!) play their own instruments, command a stage, and extend their reach beyond a youth-only audience.

Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift: Miley wore an original Herve Leger by Max Azria dress on the red carpet. Had it been just plain black, it would've been a bit boring, but the bejeweled bodice, criss-cross straps and stacks of bangles kept it fresh, and the massive rosette kept it from being "just another black dress," and though the length was a little overwhelming, the shape was amazingly flattering. Taylor Swift drove home the "we're besties" message in a Kaufman Franco black jersey dress with patent leather detailing. Gotta say: both dresses were way too long. Take a cue from Carrie Underwood and show a little leg while they're still amazing! You can't fault Miley or Taylor for appearing adult while playing the good role model role, but I wouldn't have minded either dress in a more youthful color, like a jewel tone. Also, I can't say I loved either's performance outfit, Miley's especially. Jeans at the Grammys? I know it's not the Oscars, but it's not the CMAs either. (Sorry, CMT!) That top looked like Liza Minnelli's cast-off. Bring back the cute!

Katy Perry: I liked that Katy Perry was strictly business on the red carpet -- her pink dress was by Lebanese designer Basil Soda -- and party on stage, where she chose to wear every color ever in her salute to Carmen Miranda. Her costume was by The Blonds, and her "I Kissed a Girl" performance made me feel like I was trapped inside a pachinko machine. And I kinda liked it.

Jennifer Hudson: Okay, I just need to say it: That white asymmetrical bib on Jennifer Hudon's color-blocked sculptural RM by Roland Mouret Trenet dress made her look like she had an emergency pre-Grammy root canal and forgot to take off the bib. However, I loved her midnight blue shoes. Also, Jennifer Hudson can do whatever she wants because she had the worst year ever and her talent knows know bounds. The black sequined dress she wore during her performance of "You Pulled Me Through" was stellar stuff, and the flamenco-style hair and earrings were really all she needed to complete the portrait-of-the-young-woman-as-a-pure-powerhouse look.

Sara Bareilles: Speaking of pink, Sara Bareilles was totally pretty in pink in her Louisa Beccaria strapless ruffled dress with matching (but not too matchy-matchy!) accents. I wanna write her a love song and thank her for wearing something so sugary sweet.

Audrina Patridge: Audrina usually looks sexy or hot or amazing but "cute" is not usually the first word that comes to mind. But last night, Audrina looked absolutely adorable in teal Tadashi. Her hair and bright lips were also perfection. Yay, color! Finally!

M.I.A.: We get it. You and your boyfriend got bored and decided to act out Juno. But were you hitting the labor drugs early? You do NOT need to dress like a bloated ladybug. Don't get me wrong -- I love House of Holland (who designed her black-and-white performance outfit). I just love Agyness Deyn in it more. And I'm fine with you wearing Golas when you're playing human hotel. But did you really need to go the Dorothy Zbornak route? I'm still not convinced you weren't hiding all FOUR Golden Girls underneath that Manish Arora tarp.

Jordin Sparks: You are SO SO SO cute and SO not an old lady. But that rose-printed Debra Davenport dress was SO not cute and SO old lady!

Carrie Underwood: That performance pantsuit was a little June Carter Cash with those OOC chiffon bell sleeves, but who cares? She's got legs for miles! And was it just me, or did her female guitarist look like Paris Hilton? Speaking of...

Paris Hilton: Yes, Paris. Less is still less. Please send that Versace Spring 2003 mini back to 2003 where it should stay.

LeAnn Rimes: i'm a huge fan of stone embellishments, but LeAnn's cerulean Philosophy di Alberta Ferretti outfit looked like Star Trek Voyager made its maiden voyage to Cyprus. And taupe? Really? You don't wear taupe on a red carpet unless you're going to the pantyhose awards. Or you're Leona Lewis. And speaking of...

Leona Lewis: Leona is such a gorgeous girl, but her tan Randi Rahm gown bleeding bored me.

Duffy: I've read some negatory reactions toward Duffy's Alberta Ferretti jeweled chiffon cocktail dress, but I really loved that she took an ordinary style and made it her own with an asymmetrical cut. It was super glam but subdued and fit her soulful, old-school style perfectly.

Kanye West: Mazel tov! Your transformation into '80s television star Meshach Taylor is now complete!

Estelle: Call us when Kanye's spaceship lands.

We've always loved Sara Bareilles' lovely, lilting Sarah McLachlan-like voice. And her latest video, "Winter Song" -- an adorable animated short featuring indie-pop singer Ingrid Michaelson -- is a celebration of friendship, a lament of love lost, and a reminder that sometimes the saddest melodies are also the sweetest.

Check it out, listen up for the beautifully harmonies (think Indigo Girls, but softer, silkier and less controlled) and watch as the girls' rosy-cheeked avatars lean on one another to get through a long, cold winter -- by looking ahead to spring.

You may not have picked up on the Lost Boys theme of Metro Station's brand-new video, "Seventeen Forever," which premiered this past Friday night on FNMTV, but you most certainly zeroed in on those cameos by Billy Ray -- he played a carnie of sorts -- and Miley Cyrus, who played a bad driver and also premiered her own "Fly On the Wall" video that night.

But back to Metro Station. They shot "Seventeen Forever" at the Blue Cloud Movie Ranch in Canyon Saugus, Cali (dude, they filmed Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers there!) under director Josh Forbes, who returned for another Metro Station video -- he also directed "Shake It" and "Control" as well as Boys Like Girls' "Thunder" video, and Sara Bareilles' mechanically inclined "Love Song" video.

Check out Mason's Morrissey hair and a carnival-themed dedication to eternal youth that's far less cloying than that last scene in Grease.

This is gonna be one helluva farewell party.

Details are sketchy at the moment, but here's what we know: Sunday evening, November 16 there will be a huge special filled with big stars and awesome memories of a decade of the pop cultural phenomenon that is TRL.

And if you watched TRL today, you'd know that the first confirmed performer for the big party is none other than bona fide superstar Beyonce (whose new videos "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" got their world premiere on MTV.com yesterday). If you didn't watch, well, now you know, now don't you? As more guests are confirmed for the finale, we'll post the info here on Buzzworthy, so be sure to come back often for the latest updates.

And keep your eyes on TRL on MTV, too. Starting a week from today (Tuesday, October 21), Damien and Lyndsey will begin the countdown to the finale by celebrating some of the most awesome moments that have been part of the show for 10 years. Each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday leading up to the finale, they'll be looking back at the biggest guests, insane moments, killer performances and more.

In the meantime, weigh in on your favorite TRL memories on the TRL message boards and check out some of those amazing TRL live performances, including Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" and Lloyd's "Girls Around the World" after the jump. Read more...

And that is: Guys who look like Matt White are not usually seen riding the bus in New York City. As someone who's taken the bus a LOT (ain't too proud!), I've RARELY seen dudes like him on that thing. Though once I did see Gilbert Godfried on the M9 once. Weird, right?

Anyhews, Michael Buble fans, check out Matt White's quasi-political breezy bus ballad, "Love," (it feels like the male version of Sara Bareilles' "Bottle It Up"), marvel over that Jonas-esque bouffant, and reawaken that dormant Artist of the Week crush you had on him at the beginning of 2008.

That sweet "I'm just a little bit caught in the middle/ Life is a maze and love is a riddle" coming-of-age/ soundtrack-of-self-discovery song you've heard on all those Ugly Betty promos and in commercials for Old Navy? That's Lenka. Her song "Don't Let Me Fall" was in the premiere episode of the new 90210 (it's like Gossip Girl, but less OMG-ier!) And if there were a Sara Bareilles/ Yael Naim/ Emily Haines school of songwriting, the Aussie singer-songwriter would its fourth member. (The former Decoder Ring singer's also a deadringer for Rose McGowan, except Lenka is really cute and not frightening.)

Watch Lenka's incredibly darling new video, "The Show" -- very Feist-y without as much awkward dancing -- and listen to her self-titled album before it hits stores next week at VH1.com.

Past "Oh! It's 'That' Songs"
+ Throw Me The Statue, "Lolita"
+ Ingrid Michaelson, "The Way I Am"

Calling all pop music lovers, die-hard Britney fans and shameless procrastinators! With the VMA's rapidly approaching, it's time to strap on your voting shoes once again and nominate your fave artists for the Best Pop Video category. And since pure, unadulterated power can be somewhat of a head trip, we've decided to give you a few helpful hints to start the creative juices flowing. (Just make sure to get those ballots in by 11am tomorrow).

+ Jordin Sparks, "No Air" - Because anything that debunks rumors of your broken vocal chords (while simultaneously fueling rumors that you and Chris Brown are more-than-friends) is definitely good.

+ Britney Spears, "Piece of Me" - When life gets hard, sometimes you just need stop thinking about rehab and palimony -- and start thinking happy thoughts! Like remembering when you used to be insanely hot and K-Fed was just another crappy backup dancer.

+ Avril Lavigne, "Girlfriend" - It's about time someone made a catchy, energetic defense of man-stealing! (Although weird that the Ode to the Other Woman is coming from newlywed Avril).

+ Sara Bareilles, "Love Song" - Have we told you lately that we love this girl? And not in a passive-aggressive, "We actually kinda hate you and will never, ever write a song for you" sorta way. No, it's much more of a "We like your music, but please don't ever get angry at us" kinda thing.

+ Jonas Brothers, "Burnin' Up" - Okay, have you ever had an embarrassingly large crush on someone and then realized, 'Hey, they're actually kinda funny!' -- and then felt stupid (instead of thrilled) because you probably should have already known that already, what with you being soulmates and all? No? Yeah, us neither.

+ OneRepublic, "Stop and Stare" - If somebody ever bothered to make a soundtrack of your life, this song would 100% be on it. It's so emotive! Perfect for those intense, life-changing moments where you'd (ideally) say something clever, meaningful and profound -- if only you weren't so inarticulate and awkward...

+ Miley Cyrus, "7 Things" - Although it's killing us not to know who this song is about (C'mon, Miley, your secret's safe with us!) we love this video because it's angry in the peppiest possible way. Also, props to Miley for limiting her list of post-breakup grievances to only seven.

+ Tokio Hotel, "Ready, Set, Go!" - Hey, if it's good enough for Prince Albert II, it's good enough for us. Even if these guys have enough product in their hair to singlehandedly solve the oil crisis.

+ Sean Kingston, "Beautiful Girls" - An ode to ridiculously good-looking people? Why, Sean, you shouldn't have! (But we're so glad you did).

+ The Ting Tings, "Shut Up and Let Me Go" - What is it about two Brits yelling that makes us want to get up and shake it like a Polaroid picture? We're not sure, but we do know one thing: No matter how strong the urge, you MUST resist the impulse to stand up and dance on your desks. (Seriously, bosses just don't understand).

+ Madonna, "4 Minutes" - How is it possible that Madonna is middle-aged and still officially the coolest person we know? (Note: By "know" we don't mean "socialize with regularly" so much as "obsessively worship from afar.") Madge is looking FIERCE in this video, and Justin's never sounded better. It's almost enough to make us forget about that rumored divorce/A-Rod thing! Almost...
