  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

Is it just me or do LMFAO look vaaaguely familiar? Maybe that's because, although bands come and go, the great cosmic party that they all tap into is eternal... Right maaan? These afroheads in their custom-made clothes and lens-less screwball sunglasses have been lighting up L.A. all winter with jams about Miami. LMFAO, who call themselves Redfoo and Sky Blu, got their unlikely acro-name from one of their grandmas. Sky Blu's mom just hates it. Anyway, here's why they're all hung up on Miami:

“We came back to LA [from a trip to Miami] and things were different,” Redfoo says. "There were a couple of days where it dropped down to 55, 60 degrees and people were like, ‘Why are you wearing shorts you idiot It’s cold.’ We replied with a pimps bottom lip "No stress baby, I'm In Miami Bitch!!!!..."

Ohhh. Get it now? You can get all these facts any old place. How about you check out the "I'm In Miami Trick" video right now, and keep an eye out for an exclusive Buzzworthy/LMFAO interview.

paramore.jpg OK, as hard as it is to say sorta-goodbye to Team Facelift, they had their 15 minutes of fame. In fact, they had 10,080 minutes of fame all last week as our very first MTV Artist Of The Week. But now it's time for Fat Jew and the rest of the Kosher bacon to move over and make room for something leaner … Paramore! Yes, the power-pop-punkers are this week's Artist Of The Week. That's why you'll be seein' their sweet punims all over MTV.

We love everything about their fast-and-furious rock (think early No Doubt), from Avril-but-more-hardcore lead singer Hayley Williams, who's just 18 but rocks like an old pro, to their ass-kicking live performances, to the undeniably catchy single "Misery Business" from their second album, Riot!

Watch their "Misery Business" video below, and then get lots more Paramore stuff -- downloads, photos, and all those on-air spots you'll be seeing on MTV all week, all right here.
