If there's one thing we know for sure, it's that Taio Cruz knows how to party. He also knows how to create chart-topping tracks, so why not combine these two talents? DUH, brilliant. Cue "Hangover," a foolproof pop song that's basically gonna have everyone in the universe wishing they could party like Mr. Cruz.

The raucous video documents an entire night of debauchery, and Taio is right in the eye of the storm. Decked out in a leather jacket and his signature square-rimmed shades, we learn that last night's festivities included (but were not limited to) copious amounts of drinking, two adult women sleeping in a playpen and a dude in a panda costume hitting on every chick in sight. Alcohol's a crazy drug, guys.

Flo Rida's cameo is in true baller style, as he moves the entire video shoot to the interior of a slick private jet fully equipped with liquor, hot babes and a strobe light. And as the video comes to a close, we see the true horrors aftermath of the previous night's escapades -- thongs are strewn all across the room, Taio is basically dead to the world, and somehow his boat ended up on the balcony of his effing HOUSE.

Hey, there may be some minor interior and exterior damage, but it's all in the spirit of a rocking good fete, right? Plus, dude's a rock star! You know he's got some mad insurance coverage for these kind of "accidents."

Settle down, 2011. We were only just catching our breath over the news that a new Lady Gaga single would be in our lives in February (along with the new album, Born This Way, in May) and now...this? A new Britney single? Next week? Do you believe in miracles!? Yes!

Whew. OK, here's what we know. While EW's Music Mix blog announced that the new Britney Spears song "Hold It Against Me," is due to hit the airwaves (and, by extension, the Internet) on Jan. 7, Britney's manager, Adam Leber, tweeted that we shouldn't believe everything we've read about the new single, which is coming this month. And Britney's new album will be out in March 2011. That much we do know.

The song is produced by Dr. Luke and Max Martin who, separately and together, you might know from...well, every song you loved in 2010 (Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Taio Cruz, the new Avril Lavigne single, "What The Hell," etc.) and of course some Britney classics, as well ("...Baby One More Time," "Oops I Did It Again").

According to a radio program director who has heard the song, "Hold It Against Me" is "really unique," and "the hook is just amazing."

We will obviously be watching out for that like a hawk. Britney's back, folks!

When VH1 asked me if I'd like to be one of those talking head people on their "Top 40 Music Video Countdown Of 2010," I answered their question with two of my own. The first: Does Miley Cyrus rip a mean bong? The second: What time should I be there?

Who cares what a bunch of critics, writers, and music experts think about the music they loved this year? We wanna know what music YOU loved this year! Buzzworthy wants you, our loyal readers, to pick your favorite music, musicians, and music moments of 2010. From the most unbelievable videos to the songs you played over and over again, to the artists you obsessed over and the albums your year wouldn’t have been complete without. Buzzworthy obsessed about music all year long. Now it’s time for you to pick your favorites.

Half of the most play-it-on-repeat-worthy songs of 2010 were massive, monstrous, get-your-hands-up bangers like Usher's "OMG" and Taio Cruz's "Dynamite." Far East Movement's "Like A G6" was one of the biggest party jams of the year, while Kanye West's heavy-hitting "Power" felt bigger than anything we'd heard in years. Cee Lo Green's "F--- You" was the best see-you-wouldn't-wanna-be-you song possibly of all time. Miley Cyrus' "Can't Be Tamed" only hinted at what would become one of the most scandalous music moments of 2010, and "Rude Boy" showed us a whole new side of Rihanna. Meanwhile, the other half of 2010's most unforgettable songs were, of course, love songs. Justin Bieber's swoony sweet "Baby" entered our collective conscious and our music charts in January of 2010 and pretty much never left. Nicki Minaj's "Your Love" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Rap Songs chart and stayed in our hearts for the rest of the year. And B.o.B's "Airplanes," featuring Hayley Williams, was easily the most introspective, intelligent hit songs of 2010.

So which song of 2010 was the song that defined 2010? The song you heard everywhere, you played endlessly and will forever be THE SONG that brings you right back to 2010?

Vote now for the Song You Couldn't Stop Listening To! Voting ends Sunday, Dec. 26 at 11:59pm ET. We'll announce the video you picked as the Song You Couldn't Stop Listening To in 2010 on Tuesday, Dec. 28!

Friday night's Jingle Ball show at New York City's famed Madison Square Garden--home of the New York Knicks and a recent asbestos scare--was a Christmas gift to pop fans, with acts such as Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Bruno Mars, Taio Cruz and Paramore making some holiday wishes come true for thousands of fans.

However, nobody got in the holiday spirit quite like the fairy godmother of dress-up, Katy Perry. The "Teenage Dream" singer, looking somehow at once naughty and nice, dressed up as a soldier from "The Nutcracker" and brought the fireworks...literally. She set off a few during her performance of her latest single, "Firework."

Justin Bieber reportedly got the most unhinged response from the crowd, but it looks like nobody quite captured the Christmas spirit like Katy Perry. This wasn't a one-night Christmas stand, either. Just check out what she brought to the table on Sunday night in Florida:

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!

I, personally, demure whenever my hairstylist asks if I'd like a little product in my hair. That's just me. I also don't brush my teeth with Jack Daniels, like our girl Ke$ha. So when presented with the opportunity to use a little sculpting gel, Ke$ha quite clearly went to town.

At last night's Us Weekly Stars Who Care Party, the "We R Who We R" singer was working a hairdo that was one part Ed Grimley, one part lazy mohawk.

Also in attendance were folks such as Chris Brown, Brandy and Taio Cruz, though none of them sported such eye-catching, gravity defying hair as Ke$ha.

Generally, the frequency and insanity of Ke$ha's paparazzi photographs are linked to whether or not she has a new release coming. So wouldn't you know it, Ke$ha's Cannibal drops on Nov. 22. Not that we're complaining. We can't get enough of her pics or her music.

Check out another shot of Ke$ha's mohawk, below. And see how Ke$ha got the dollar sign in her name.

Demi Lovato looks pretty happy! It might be because she just read the Buzzworthy post where we suggested she and Demi Moore are basically becoming the same person, or it might be because she was hosting the American Music Awards nominations along with Taio Cruz.

Cruz and Lovato announced the nominees earlier today, with Eminem pulling in the heartiest haul with five nods. Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, Usher and B.o.B. also went away with some recognition.

Check out more pictures below of Demi, along with Taio Cruz, at the American Music Awards nominations in Los Angeles, from this morning.

Thanks to the new video for his club-banging single "Dynamite," we finally know who British singer/producer Taio Cruz has in mind when he's singing about throwing his hands up in the air to celebrate and live his life: a gang of oil-smudged lady mechanics.

The video is set in a sexy/dirty outdoor garage (or is it an impound lot?) where the only employees are of the female persuasion and dressed in some questionable blue-collar attire. So when our boy Taio rides in on his motorcycle and the sparks literally start flying, we don't think those midriffs and daisy dukes are going to do much to prevent a first-degree burn. All's well that ends well, though, when the grease bunnies are rewarded with a bubble bath dance party.
