Pussycat Dolls' latest video, "Hush Hush; Hush Hush," is noteworthy not just because the song's title contains a semi-colon, which you don't see every day, but because the song and video hold a lot of behind-the-scenes dramz. The song is from PCD's Doll Domination. Doll Domination 2.0, but honestly, they could've just called it Doll Drama 2.0. Because...

1.) You won't hear much of the other Dolls in "Hush Hush; Hush Hush." Nicole Scherzinger recorded lead and background vocals on the song. No wonder Melody Thornton had some "words" during PCD's concert in Phoenix this past April. That, and the fact that originally, "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" was originally tauted as "Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger." Ouch.

2.) In the beginning of the video, a super naked Nicole Scherzinger uses the PHONE in the bathtub, which is just SUCH a bad idea for a variety of reasons. Though not as bad as using a hair dryer in the bathtub, which you should REALLY never do.

3.) "Hush Hush; Hush Hush samples Gloria Gaynor's 1978 hit "I Will Survive," and certainly the video's disco scene is an homage to that era, while Nicole Scherzinger's hair, makeup, and lame' look are clearly an homage to Diana Ross.

4.) Yes, the DJ in the video is Perez Hilton. Modest, too, as he's wearing a t-shirt that says "'Hush Hush featuring Perez." Perez has also appeared in Simple Plan's "When I'm Gone" video, Eric Hutchinson's "Rock And Roll" video, and The White Tie Affair's "Candle (Sick And Tired)." There's also a quick cameo by Carmen Electra. Also, check out that cameo by HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition -- it's a teensy little fashion laptop that's almost as pretty as Nicole. Hearts it!

5.) "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" was directed by Rich Lee, who also directed All-American Rejects' "The Wind Blows" video and Fergie's "Clumsy."

+ Watch "Hush Hush; Hush Hush," and, after the jump, watch Diana Ross' version of "I Will Survive."

Simple Plan's latest single, "Save You," is an emotionally charged love letter to lead singer's Pierre Bouvier's brother, Jay Bouvier, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at age 28 and is now in remission. "Save You" details Jay's struggle and serves as a moving, hope-filled tribute and show of support not only to Jay and Simple Plan guitarist Jeff Stinco's mother -- also a cancer survivor -- but as a platform to raise awareness about the need for a cure for cancer.

Proceeds from the downloads of "Save You" single go to the Simple Plan Foundation, which donates to cancer charities around the world.

Watch "Save You" below, download the single, and go to think.mtv.com to see how you can get a chance to interview Simple Plan.

There For Tomorrow is the best band you've (possibly) never heard of until today. (And if you have, feel free to spew bile in the comments.)

The four-guy alt-rock group, formed back in '03, didn't get their big break until 2006, when they won an Orlando radio contest, earning a spot on the starting lineup of O-Rock's annual "No Snow Show" concert. From there, they scored a deal with Hopeless Records, also home to All Time Low, who jumpstarted their career after winning the Energizer Encore Contest for the 2007 Warped Tour.

So, in addition to secretly coveting There For Tomorrow's hair (seriously, what conditioner do these guys use and WHERE CAN WE BUY IT??) we're also into their Linkin Park-meets-Simple Plan (but post-Still Not Getting Any... Simple Plan) sound, not to mention their cover of Omarion's "Ice Box." (Listen on the band's MySpace.)

So check out their latest video, "Pages," and watch as TFT delivers a five-star performance, without a hair out of place.

We immediately noticed three things about Simple Plan's new video, "Your Love Is A Lie."

1.) Pierre's girlfriend blows! And her hair needs a deep conditioning.

2.) Holy Auto-Tune! Let's go ahead and assume (read: hope) that was a style choice.

3.) This most un-Simple Plan song is totally the male version of Michelle Branch's "Are You Happy Now?" Yes, that Michelle Branch and that song, while the "do you think about me when he f---s you?" line (in the uncensored version) is Alanis revisited.

Thoughts, Simple Plan fans?

Fresh off the release of their extremely long-awaited third album, Simple Plan, the band of the same name drops some Francois on you and traces their roots back to Montreal -- and Billy Bob Thornton.

Watch Simple Plan's never-before-seen "A.D.D. Bio," see who worked at McDonald's, and check out five Simple Plan videos.

No pads, no helmets, no new Simple Plan album since the last effing presidential election! We can definitely put a cap on our patience, but can you really put a time limit on what we've got to assume will be the most perfecto SP album ever? (If based, at the very least, on the amount of time it's been in the works?)

You decide.

Simple Plan's self-titled new album isn't out until next week, but we've got every track right now on "The Leak."

SP will also be on TRL next week, and they recently announced a few U.S. shows as well as some international dates too, so get on that.

Back around Thanksgiving, we got Séb to give you a behind-the-scenes tour of the L.A. set of Simple Plan's upcoming video, "When I'm Gone." Then, a few days later, we gave you more (albeit not enough): a teensy little sneak peak at the finished product. And then you waited. So patiently! We really admire that in you. And we want you to know that we don't make hollow promises and neither does Simple Plan. So... check out ALL of their new video, "When I'm Gone," right now. Oh, and BTW, the boys are in the building now, so maybe they'll give us more details on that elusive third album, which comes out next month and was produced by Timbaland disciple Danjahandz, who produced Britney's "Gimme More." Weird, right? We'll keep you posted.

On Monday, we gave you just a small sneak peek at Simple Plan -- specifically Séb and his puppy -- on the set of their new video, "When I'm Gone." And maybe that wasn't cool of us to give you just a tiny taste. But you know what'd be even less cool? Not giving you the whole thing... which is essentially what's happening, because we don't have it yet. But instead, we're giving you what we do have: a clip of Simple Plan's new video, "When I'm Gone," featuring a cameo by a purple-haired Perez Hilton.

Check it out above, or watch it here. And don't miss the premiere of the whole thing -- we're premiering it on MTV and right here Monday, Dec. 10.

See that right there? That'd be Simple Plan's Sébastien, on the set of their new video, "When I'm Gone" in Los Angeles. Seb gave us a private set tour, and now we're sharing the behind-the-scenes love so you can vicariously experience the second-hand awe of a green screen.

We're getting the "When I'm Gone" video soon-ish and will keep you posted accordingly, because we know you've been waiting a minute for new Simple Plan stuff (and by minute, we mean four years' worth of minutes). Until then, catch the guys on TRL today, and check out this MTV News article, which details how the guys got a little closer to Britney Spears than you'd think.
