Today was the very first-ever episode of It's On With Alexa Chung, and obviously you guys watched, judging by the overwhelming number of cats-on-heads photos you guys Tweeted and emailed in during the show. Aside from a drop-by from Heidi and Spencer, a live performance by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em -- who pulled himself away from Twittering long enough to perform "Turn My Swagger On" -- as well as live appearances from Jack Black and human puppy dog Michael Cera, you also got a sense of Alexa Chung's effortless style.

Every day here on the MTV Buzzworthy Blog, I'll be telling you what Alexa wore -- because I know you're already Googling it, Twittering it, and obsessing over it. So, let's get to what Alexa wore today, shall we?

Monday, June 15
It's almost officially summer, but here in New York City, where It's On With Alexa Chung tapes live, it's still chill. So, Alexa opted for a cooler look: a long-sleeved cotton top, black leggings, and sandals. Here's more on what Alexa Chung wore on her show today...

+ Top: Button-down cotton top by Kova & T.

+ Leggings: Alexa wore her leggings by Les Chiffoniers.

+ Jewelry: Alexa's necklace and bracelet by Chan Luu, who makes some amazing rough-hewn accessories using leather, metal, and stones. (I'm loving her new wrap bracelets.)

+ Sandals: Trendsetter Alexa wore her own studded sandals, which she picked up in Australia. Want your own studded sandals? Check out Steve Madden's "Boogle" gladiators for $59.95 a similar look.

+ Tune in tomorrow at 12pm for an appearance by Ashley Tisdale, former Danity Kane member Aubrey O'Day, and another covet-worthy outfit from Alexa Chung.

+ It's Pete Wentz's birthday today! He just turned dirty 30! May he drink Bacardi... and Caprisun... like it's his birthday. (Twitter)

+ Electrik Red assure you that they're not corny, like the Spice Girls. That'd better be a promise. (Bossip)

+ Soulja Boy Tell' Em is JUST NOW getting around to "getting" Jay-Z. Better late than never, I guess. (MTV News)

+ Method Man and Redman have some choice words for Kanye West. (Buzzworthy)

+ Toronto Raptors' Chris Bosh will be releasing a CD compilation of his favorite songs and music by new artists. Ballin'! (Baller Status)

+ British Band the Horrors blame blogs and Facebook and everything else FUN for ruining EVERYTHING. You know what? SCREW 'EM. It's not like they're reading this anyway! (Independent)

+ Pour some out for polka -- the Recording Academy pulled polka from its list of Grammy categories. We hardly knew ye! (New York Times)

+ Poison, Dolly Parton, AND Elton John will all be performing at the Tony Awards this Sunday. And LAAAAAAYYYYDIES, keep your eyes a-peeled for Constantine Maroulis, who's up for Best Actor in a Musical. Best. Tonys. Ever? (Billboard)

Well well well. Looks who's all growed up. Last year this time, Tyga was dropping tropical-fruit-based party anthems, trashing "cousin" Travis McCoy's house, and pissing off Pete Wentz.

"Coconut Juice," off Tyga's No Introduction debut, was a feel-good summer jam, and he followed that up with a song about instant messenging and MySpace. Fun, sure, but if you weren't paying attention, you might've thought Tyga and Soulja Boy Tell'Em were the same dude -- big glasses, big backpacks, neckscarves, tats, party jams, jewelry drama, etc.

However, one look at Tyga's new video, "Cali Love," and it's clear that he's not only coming back, but he's coming back HARD. Tyga's sound on "Cali Love" is less loopy, more Lupe. Less jiggy, more Jay-Z. And after a few viewings of his "My Glory" video (one of the first lines out the gate: "F+++ you, pay me"), Tyga's even got some of that early, Diddy swagger. Pre-Twitter Diddy, that is.

+ Watch Tyga pay homage to his Compton hometown in "Cali Love," directed by Mickey Finnegan, and tell us what you think of Tyga 2.0.

First of all, let's let a l'il tear drop for Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, who never got to go prom. Okay, now roll those tears back up inside your eyeballs and chew on this; Soulja Boy Tell 'Em probably never went to prom because he was too busy doing the Soulja Boy dance and making like a zillion dollars off ringtones and downloads -- "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" is the third most-downloaded song ever. That people have paid for. Paid MONEY for.

Fortunately, Soulja Boy Tell 'Em's riches afford him many luxuries, like medallions the size of laptops, and the ability to take ALL of the girls of Flavor of Love to prom all the corsages money can buy.

Watch Soulja Boy Tell 'Em tell you his prom fantasy, see why half of  V Factory probably wouldn't agree with Soulja Boy's wardrobe choice, and check out more celebrity prom stories.

+ Poor Rihanna can't catch a break these days. It appears that the sage words of Hindu text she had inked on her haunch aren't spelled correctly. This is exactly why we will ONLY ever get those rub-on kinds that you use with water. (Giant)

+ Trim or not, we still think Eminem looks a little crazy in the eyes. (XXL)

+ This past weekend, Britney Spears catered a little Easter brunch for her dancers on the roof of a hotel in San Jose. We think this was a really sweet gesture on BritBrit's part, but for the sake of the dancers we hope this wasn't the same "finger foods" they hand out on her VIP Backstage Tour. (Britneyspears.com)

+ Something tells us that Soulja Boy Tell 'Em is not actually using TurboTax to do his taxes. Soulja, if you are, DEF spring for the Audit Protection for an extra $10 bucks -- sooooo worth it. (Twitter)

+ The Veronicas are Buzzworthy faves (and so is Joe Jonas or ANYTHING JoBro, for that matter. DOY.) So it's no wonder we freaked a little after seeing this pic of ALL of them together at Pinkberry! That would NEVER happen at the Pinkberry by us. It'd be like, Clay Aiken and Harvey Fierstein. (Jemistry!)

+ Kanye West and The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers randomly laid down a track for 'Ye's new album.  Even weirder is that bad-actor-turned-worse-musician Jared Leto was there to ruin it all (while looking like a serial killer). (Smoking Section)

+ Earlier in the week we mentioned that P!nk and ex-hubster Carey Hart were getting reacquainted.  Now it turns out they're getting re-hitched? (In Touch Online)
