It's pretty safe to say most of the world is Team Taylor after Kanye West flipped out on America's Princess at the 2009 VMAs. Here's what celebrities are saying on Twitter about Kanye's Taylor Swift VMA freakout.

Hayley Williams: Taylor swift, y'all. #teamTaylor

Katy Perry: F++K U KANYE. IT'S LIKE U STEPPED 0N A KITTEN.

Lauren Conrad: i heart Taylor Swift! Congrats! Well deserved :-)

Perez Hilton: @TaylorSwift13 Love you!

Kelly Pickler: Tator Tot, you handled yourself with Grace. Kanye, go grow some f-ing balls bitch! don't mess w/my lil sis!!

Pink: Beyonce is a classy lady.I feel for her, too.Its not her fault at all, and her and taylor did their thing. And douche bag got kicked out. HA

Spencer Pratt: Let's be very clear King Spencer would never do anything like what Kayne just did to a sweet soul like Taylor!

Drake's Knee! Bey was real classy for doin that for Taylor Swift / next time Kanye wanna shoot my vid eat a d**k

McFly's Tom Fletcher: Taylor Swift should have kicked him in the nuts! What an eventful VMA's.

Evan Taubenfeld: I feel bad for Taylor. She didn't deserve that. but ironically I also love kanye & his stupid fish sticks

+ Ricky Martin (remember him) kind of came out. (Popnography)

+ Open mouth, insert foot:  Joe Jonas accidentally blabbed on Larry King Live that his little brother Nick Jonas was indeed dating Miley Cyrus again. LOVE IT! (US Magazine)

+ Justin Timberlake refuses to play golf with girlfriend Jessica Biel because she kicks his ass everytime. (PopCrunch)

+ Here's a shocker: Lauren Conrad just dished on The View that Spencer Pratt's apology on the last episode of The Hills was... GASP! STAGED! (Ryan Seacrest)

+ Um, a dead body was found during the clean-up after this year's Bonnaroo festival? So creepy! (NME)

+ Keyshia Cole pulled out all the stops on the L.A. leg of her current U.S. tour.  Friends like Keri Hilson, Nas, and Diddy were all in attendance to help the singer put on a star-studded show. Wish we could have gone! (Rap-Up)

Did you see The Hills last night? Holy ship. Is there a better show? I know this is neither the time nor the place, but I'm pretty sure Spencer Pratt is the most interesting person who has ever been alive. No offense, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, but homeboy went to therapy and became a different person. A sensitive person who is also a rapper. WHAT THE HELL?

Not only that, but as a barely-recovering Laguna Beach junkie, I am SO psyched for the return of Kristin Cavallari. Did you see her go straight for Justin Bobby?? What I wouldn't give to go to bed tonight and wake up in next year so all of my unanswered Hills questions would be answered already!

But enough about my "problem." Aside from Spencer's emergence from his cocoon of cruelty as a gentle butterfly, last night's big story was Lauren Conrad's departure. What was originally her spin-off, officially entered a new life of its own as she rode away from K-Cav and the Speidi extravaganza alone.

To mark the beginning of a whole new era, Hills producers brought in a whole new voice. They very wisely landed on young buck Tamar Kaprelian, whose fresh and honest single "New Day" has enough emotion in every note to knock the grass off The Hills. Look out, "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield! It's a new day.

In the great tradition of reality TV, I'm gonna let Tamar Kaprelian introduce herself. Here are a couple highlights from her hand-written bio:

I am 22. Songwriting is the most sacred thing in my life. Classic Disney films influenced me as a kid, but my true love of music came about when I discovered Billy Joel and Paul McCartney. In love I fell.

My music chronicles my life, my relationships, my basket-case-ness, and my utter determination and drive to create an album that is real and true to me both personally and artistically.

I hope you enjoy my little musical offerings and songs.

Peace & love.

What a sweetheart, eh? Plays a mean piano, too. Keep an eye out for Tamar Kaprelian and catch her first single "New Day" in The Hills' Season 5 finale, starting tonight!

Her only saving grace this time around was that she had arm candy Jesus Luz with her.  <LICK!> (D Listed)

The bride joined guests Bono, Damien Rice, Woody Harrelson and Charlize Theron in an upbeat rendition of "Stand By Me" at the very musical reception. In related news, the phrase "billionaire baby daddy" is officially being grossly overused. (People)

+ Taylor Lautner, I smell a serious grounding in your future! The 17-year-old Twilight star, whose parents have forbidden him from dating until the absurd old age of 28, is rumored to be sneaking around Vancouver with Selena Gomez between shoots for Twilight: New Moon and Ramona And Beezus. Ya see, this is what happens when kids play the video games on the television and talk on the cell phone. (Perez Hilton)

+ Another Nick Jonas ex defended her own new romance against negative internet allegations. Between sightseeing and autograph sessions, Miley Cyrus Twittered away speculation that she'd dump Justin Gaston to get back with Nick, calling it a "stupidddd rumor."(Just Jared Jr.)

Kanye West REALLY REALLY wants you to know that he was SERIOUSLY working on getting his ego in check BEFORE South Park portrayed him as a gay fish, swimming around in the deep blue gay sea, humping other gay fish like gay fish do.

Apparently Kanye, like Spencer Pratt (BTW, holy KING JAMES BIBLE, have you been reading Spencer's Twitter? He REALLY wants you to know that he's "Sorry" a la Madonna circa 2006), he's been doing some soul-searching... Just how deep the well of Kanye West's soul goes is unclear, but he REALLY wants the world to know that it WASN'T South Park or the gay fish sticks that made him realize that SOME people might think he's a douche. Kanye's realization just SO HAPPENED to coincide with the South Park episode. (Timing is weird!) Not that Kanye watched the whole episode or anything.

Despite the fact that changing his name to Martin Louis The King, Jr. wasn't the most humbling move (nor was comparing himself to nuclear energy), I knew Kanye had some humility in him back when he let that fine-assed Rita G. beat the tar out of him in his "Flashing Lights" video.

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.
+ Heidi Montag (@montagheidi) -- I swear to the Lord, you will S--T when you see how many of Heidi's Tweets are about Jesus!
+ 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.

And now, please welcome Travis, who'll be infusing Buzz Bites with his own uniquely hilarious brand of sarcasm.

+ Spencer Pratt thinks his Pocket Barbie soulmate Heidi Montag's version of "Fashion" is waaay hotter than Lady Gaga's. Really, Spence?  Is that why the track was left off Heidi's album entirely?  Not that I know... I read it somewhere. (Life & Style)

+ Chalk another one up for Katy Perry, who won Best International Female Solo Artist at the 2009 Brit Awards (can we say "Hello-Kitty-goes-Sandra-Dee?" MeROW!), after which she promptly threw up backstage. Oh. Coldplay went home empty-handed, if you care. (PopCrunch)
