Jessie Baylin's been on the scene for a minute, but we're thinking her track "Hurry Hurry" will be the one to officially break her into the mainstream. Sure, she's married to the mainstream -- Kings Of Leon drummer Nathan Followill -- but Jessie's a killer artist in her own right. Her voice is sweet, yet full and powerful. She's got a whimsical quality, which contributes to her folk sound, but her hooks are rooted in pop and seriously radio-friendly.

The video for "Hurry Hurry" was directed by none other than actress Scarlett Johansson. (Nobody ever said it hurt to have a few close super-famous pals/husbands!) In the video we see Jessie, blonde hair messed and rocking a leather jacket, casually strolling down an empty bridge. Not much happens on this bridge except for some vanity shots of Jessie's longing eyes and a cool post-production effect that makes it look like her body is twinkling and then melting... in that order.

While the video isn't much more than a pretty girl on a pretty bridge, we don't care! You can't deny that "Hurry Hurry" wins on account of its stunning visuals, matching perfectly with the record itself. A round of applause for both Scarlett and Jessie -- can we get some more where this video came from?

Dearest Ryan Reynolds,

We definitely have to say we didn't see this one coming! You and Scarlett Johansson seemed like such a great couple, and it's sad that you guys didn't make it. Who's to say what might happen in the future, but for now, we would like to offer our shoulder for you to cry on. Did I mention that shoulder is bare? It is.

You may recall that we offered our shoulder yesterday to Zac Efron after we heard the news of his split with Vanessa Hudgens. (Zac, if you're reading, we're not rescinding that offer.) Thankfully for both of you, we have two really strong shoulders. But not too strong. Not like, manly shoulders.

But you know who does have manly shoulders? You, Ryan Reynolds. Your shoulders are quite manly. As are your arms and your legs and your torso. Pretty much everything, all the way down to your feet. Totally manly feet. (You can't get these kind of compliments just anywhere.)

Listen, we know the transition from married Ryan to single Ryan might be a tough one to imagine, especially after two years of marriage. So to help you picture this transition, I created this adorable photo of you and I at a cool party with Jon Hamm, someone I hope is your friend. Besides your oddly shaped heads, look how much fun we're having! Like, this could be your life, Ryan!

Hang in there, Ry Guy, and by "hang in there," I mean "text me." I can help you with your healing process.

<3 Nicole, and Every Girl Ever

A giant doff of the fedora to Drake, who was named one of GQ's Men of the Year today. Drake joins Stephen Colbert, Jeff Bridges, James Franco and Scarlett Johansson, who was named "babe of the year."

Drake's has had a great year, releasing one of the most successful album debuts in recent memory with his Thank Me Later album. But Drake's GQ nod got us thinking: If we were running things, who would be our men (and babe) of the year? Let's take a look!

+ Nick Jonas: Nick's had a pretty dizzying 2010, starting on the heels of the release of his Nick Jonas & The Administration album, his world tour with the Jonas Brothers and his performance on the London stage in "Les Miserables." This Renaissance Man deserves some cred!

+ Justin Bieber: Arguably the world's biggest pop star under 20, Justin Bieber may not be a "man" just yet, but give him credit for getting more done (album, videos, book, movie, dolls!) in one year than most people do in their entire lives.

+ Kanye West: Kanye could be a man of the year for the Twitter account, alone. But, oh yeah, he put out a pretty good album, too.

+ Hayley Williams: Paramore's awesome frontwoman toured the world and soared on "Airplanes," her hit with B.o.B. and one of the year's best songs. And she dyed her hair pink like what!? Give that woman a cover!

+ Who would be your man (or woman) of the year? Let us know in the comments!

When we first heard about Steel Train, it was the lonely classic rock-inspired band on Drive-Thru Records' primarily pop-punk roster. In the years since releasing its 2005 debut album Twilight Tales From The Prairies Of The Sun, however, the band has kicked dust in the eyes of its Warped Tour brethren and forged a pretty impressive path on the indie-rock circuit.

Instead of signing with a label, the band decided to release a new self-titled album on its own imprint, Terrible Thrills. Filled with Modest Mouse-sounding romps (like "Turnpike Ghost") and ambient arena-rock jams (like The Killers-esque "Behavior"), Steel Train's third album is probably its best yet, and we can't wait to see the band perform new songs like "Bullet" and "Children Of The '90s (I'm Not The Same)" when it hits the road this summer.

Did we forget to mention that these guys are also totally easy on the eyes? Singer Jack Antonoff, former paramour of Scarlett Johansson and Alia Shawkat, can fuel our engine any time. Or, he could just introduce us to his fashion designer sister, Rachel. Her clothes are dope!

Steel Train's new self-titled album will be released June 29. In the meantime, check out the video for "I Feel Weird," off Steel Train's sophomore record, Trampoline.

In what has to be one of the cutest viral/Internet sensation thingamabobs to come down the chimney in a minute, we're happy to throw some shine on Evan Taubenfeld's "Merry Swiftmas."

Taubenfeld is a former member of Avril Lavigne's band, and he recorded this genuinely sweet love-letter/Christmas wish -- complete with a pretty singalong chorus and references to Megan Fox, Scarlett Johansson and Kanye West -- as a tribute to his favorite country-pop gal, Taylor Swift. After Taylor heard the song, she tweeted about it, helping it become one of those web sensations we all live for.

Now Evan Taubenfeld has made a homey, lo-fi video for the song, featuring a cameo from Taylor herself. Enjoy the video below, and Merry Swiftmas/ Happy Taubmukkah to you all.

+ Lady Gaga does the cover of OUT magazine (along with an amazing photo spread and accompanying article), and when we say "does it," we mean she blows it out. of the effing. water. Don't walk... RUN! (OUT)

+ Guitar god Les Paul passed away today, leaving tons of musicians and music lovers worldwide mourning the loss of a genius inventor and performer. (E! Online)

+ Remind us again why Scarlett Johansson is trying to have a singing career? Probably the same reason Beyonce is trying to have an acting career. Watch this just-released video in which, regardless of whether or not she can sing she looks insanely hot, for "Relator" with Pete Yorn to refresh your memory. (PopSugar)

+ We love Fefe Dobson (remember "Take Me Away?"). Evidently she put on a smoldering show at NYC's Mercury Lounge (performing new tracks like "I Want You" mixed with some old favorites) last night. We love what this girl stands for: sticking it to the man and doing things her way. Let's hope this time around her label will keep her on the payroll for a while. (Neon Limelight)

+ Much to her record label's chagrin, Island girl Amy Winehouse has sworn off her trademark sultry soul sound for her next album and has instead adopted a more doob-friendly Reggae flavor. As long as it doesn't have the meth-y fresh tingle, who cares? (The Sun)

+ The Lonely Island boys (Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer, and Jorma Taccone) were recently named to Details' list of "mavericks." And no. Sarah Palin had nothing to do with it. Thank God. (Details)

+ Have you seen this sneak peek of The Hills Season Five and all the gloriousness that is Audrina and Brody kind of macking it?? (Remote Control)

When you think depressing, lovelorn lyrics and melancholy Regina Spektor-y lullabies, the words "romantic comedy" don't necessarily come to mind. Fortunately for sensual songstress Erin McCarley, soul-crushing rejection just happens to be the basis for information age-y new flick, He's Just Not That Into You.

Check out McCarley's new video, "Love, Save The Empty," and watch for scenes from the SATC-inspired film, where gorgeous Hollywood stars (like Scarlett Johansson and Drew Barrymore) pretend to be hopelessly undateable. Sure, it's momentarily jarring, unrealistic, and borderline offensive. But one look at Jennifer Aniston and, suddenly, it all makes sense.

+ Pete Wentz (over)shares some intimate deets about his "amazing" sexcapades with wife/personal lapdancer Ashlee Simpson. (MTV News)

+ You know that hot rocker dude Whitney Port's been holding hands with on The Hills? Well, turns out his band is actually pretty talented. In fact, they're pretty AND talented. Swoon! (Remote Control)

+ Scarlett Johansson has announced that she might be releasing a follow-up to her debut album, Anywhere I Lay My Head. Which brings three immediate questions to mind: Why? How? And, most importantly, WHY????? (MTV News)

+ Rumor has it the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Anthony Kiedis is battling kidney disease. If so, we wish him all the best and hope he gets healed up real soon! (NY Daily News)
