It’s been a seriously Jonas-packed week so far, no? In the past five days alone, the Jonas Brothers played the Houston Rodeo, released dates for their world tour with Jordin Sparks and Honor Society, got spoofed on South Park (like anyone who’s worth noting), and announced that they’re coming out with a line of Jonas-ified clothing for tweens (sorry, but I LOVE the scarves and hope they’ll fit me). These dudes are like Verizon Wireless — they never stop working for you. No wonder these Jonas fans skipped school AND miss Thanksgiving to see the Jonas Brothers at the taping of MTV’s The Jonas Brothers Experience. See what else these diehard Jonas fans would do for their favorite brothers. And watch JB fan Julia relive her TRL glory.

And watch more Buzzworthy Jonas Brothers Fan Appreciation Week videos!

Okay, remember how TRL ended? Okay, well yesterday I was downstairs in the MTV Studios yesterday waiting to ask Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em your questions, and I noticed a sad, sad thing: the iconic, legendary TRL photo booth — where famous butts of ballers like Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and Fergie, *NSYNC, Usher, No Doubt, Tokio Hotel, Vanessa Hudgens, and even John McCain and, um, Poo Baby and the Scream mask guy once perched to have their photos taken — is broken! Weep! That’s a little piece of history right there… I’ll keep you posted if I see it’s back and up and running. Until then, check out these bazillion photos taken in the legendary booth.

Be honest with yourself, TRL loyalists! Some of you dreamed of a Carson Daly-Damien Fahey sandwich (I MEAN YOU WANTED TO SHARE A QUIZNO’S SUB WITH THEM! GOD!!!), and some of you HATERS dreamed of a Carson-Damien smackdown, didn’t you? I certainly didn’t. Carson didn’t, but I KNOW some of you did. BUT, who does Carson think would win in a battle of the boy band VJs?

“I’m just a much bigger guy. I think I would destroy him, actually,” Carson told Details’ Know + Tell blog.

DEM’S FIGHTIN’ WORDS! Actually, they’re not. Because I took them out of context. But see what else he told Know + Tell about beating up Damien, potentially kissing — and potentially getting punched by — Katy Perry, and why he used to wear nail polish during his TRL days.

After recovering from far too much sparkling errmmm… cider with a record-breaking TV binge, consisting mostly of Engaged & Underage, Ruby (I have no idea why), that crazy half-ton-a-thon on TLC that everyone I know got sucked into, and an overdose of Celebrity Rehab 2, I am now COMMITTED to sobriety: I’ve now been FREE from TV for like… 10 hours, I think? So far so good. I intend to fall off the wagon at approximately 10pm tonight when the new episode of The City airs. Oh Whitney. I just can’t quit you…

So, speaking of sober, Pink’s latest video (not to mention Rihanna’s retreat into “Rehab” and Amy Winehouse’s famous Heisman reaction to her treatment) had me thinking about sobriety songs (other than Alter Bridge’s “Watch Over You”), which, in turn, triggered memories of Evanescence’s 2006 single/ video, “Call Me When You’re Sober,” which went to #1 on TRL (R.I.P.!) and was famously written about Amy Lee’s ex, Seether frontman Shaun Morgan.

And Evanescence, if you’re reading this, as much as I love Paramore (oh yes I DID!), I totally miss you guys and want you to get back together soon (remember when we all shared a locker that year? that was so awesome when we all still got along), unless it means even more in-fighting of Guns N’ Roses proportions. Amy, where’s that solo album? Drop us a line, some new lyrics, anything soon! Or let’s grab a decaf chai or something!

Anyway, which is the better bitter break-up video? Pink’s “Sober,” or Evanescence’s “Call Me When You’re Sober”?


I know, I know — the end of the TRL era is pretty traumatizing, but perhaps this will help ease the blow — an addition to the Buzzworthy family: Erica, who pledged her allegiance to Britney Spears years ago, and hasn’t looked back since. She’s written for the NY Observer, the NY Press, and is an expert celeb blogger. When she’s not writing about all things buzzworthy, she can usually be found obsessively watching videos on mtvmusic.com, deconstructing episodes of The Hills or eating cupcakes (mostly eating cupcakes, actually). Check out her first post right here, and don’t do something mean like try to sell her a pool pass when you know there’s no pool at Buzzworthy High! Anyway, welcome, Erica!

+ OK, I know that we’re all in devastation mode re: TRL, and I hear ya. The next few days are gonna be rough. However, I’m positive I have a solution that will help us all pick up the shattered pieces of our lives and move on dot org with grace and dignity: Justin Timberlake in a leotard; Srsly please tell me you watched Saturday Night Live. Our boy (well, mine …) Justin Timberlake brought some hardcore funny as a male back-up dancer in Beyonce’s “Single Ladies” music video, and then absolutely killed during a special appearance on Weekend Update. Trust me: if you watch nothing else on the Internet ever again, you must not miss Timberlake in his Danskins. (Buzzfeed)

+ Beyonce was pretty darn hilars herself on SNL AND she performed two songs off her new album, I Am… Sasha Fierce: “If I Were A Boy” and “Single Ladies (Put A Ring on It).” (Concrete Loop)

+ Oh no she di-int: Ashlee Simpson checked into the hospital on Saturday, leading us all to believe that baby Wentz had finally arrived. But, alas, bump watch ‘08 is back on after Ashlee checked out a short time later. (Life & Style)

+ Modern love is so adorbs: Kelly Osbourne and 18-year-old male model Luke Worrall apparently announced to the world that they were getting hitched … via Luke’s Facebook status. Upcoming plans for the wedding will be posted on their MySpace pages, with honeymoon scoop going straight to their Twitter feeds. Ahhh, love 2.0! (Evil Beet)

+ Dear Everyone: pls just leave Miley Cyrus alone already; i.e. stop hacking into all her stuff! Kthxz0rzbye!!!1! (MTV News)

+ Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey plan to share in a Christmas tradition that has nothing to do with sugarplums OR mistletoe; apparently in the Cannon household, it’s all about the bikinis (duh). Mariah and all her besties like to get into their suits, roll around in the snow and finish off the night in the hot tub. Gawd bless us … everyone. (The Superficial)

+ Cute Overload much? The P.S. 22 Children’s Choir in NYC does a fab cover of Tori Amos“1,000 Oceans.” Kids sing the darndest things! (Perez Hilton)

+ Oh yeah … almost forgot: Did you guys hear that TRL’s over? 3:30’s never gonna be the same again.

Beyonce may have put a ring on it as she waved bye, bye, bye to a pop culture phenomenon on tonight’s Total Finale Live farewell to TRL, but nothing — not even a diamond — is forever.

TRL is officially dunzo, but you’ve still got hours of live performances, behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and more to relive.

So you go do that.

Goodnight, Taylor Swift! I didn’t get to sign your yearbook, but hopefully we’ll have a class together next year.

Thnks fr th Mmrs, Fall Out BoySisky, you were the best fake-Pete ever.

Goodnight, Kid Rock. You make cigars seem sort-of cool, even if they smell like rotten old man.

Goodnight, Nelly. Thank you for finally losing the Band-Aid.

Good night, Miley Cyrus in the photo booth. Be careful what you do with those photos, ‘kay?

Goodnight, William Beckett’s hair and Andy Hurley’s F+++ City stickers and hoodies, which I constantly have to get digitally blurred out of photos and videos before I can post them.

Goodnight, Quddus. You’ve aged like the finest of wines. I’m sorry we didn’t get a chance to talk.

Goodnight, people still drinking while I soberly, sorely blog at 4:38am.

Goodnight, my bed. I wish I were in you!

Goodnight, Jesse Camp, wherever you’re sleeping tonight, if you sleep, if you’re not actually an 8th Street vampire or something.

Goodnight, “Baby One More Time.” Hearing you always feels like the very first time, every single time.

Goodnight, Kevin Jonas, even though you weren’t there.

And don’t forget — BUZZWORTHY PLAYS VIDEOS!

He wasn’t using it at the time, so Fall Out Boy and I comandeered Carson Daly’s dressing room backstage at Total Finale Live.

Watch Patrick Stump, Joe Trohman, Andy Hurley, and “Pete Wentz” (who mysteriously grew a few inches and started to embody a strange Wes Borland look), talk Tool, Britney Spears, Stephen Colbert, opening up a Times Square Angels & Kings offshoot, and, most importantly, *NSYNC.

Then see The Academy Is…’s Sisky lob the love back to Fall Out Boy and Pete and Ashlee.

While Total Finale Live was getting live for last time (and tipsy too!) just a few feet away, I got a chance to talk to Joel and Benji Madden about growing up Good Charlotte throughout the years on TRL.

See what the Madden brothers had to say about coming back to the show for the last time and the way the show acted as a social network in the days before Facebook and MySpace even existed (can you IMAGINE?).

Remember that time Heidi Montag “rapped” on TRL and made everyone watching only less uncomfortable than, say, walking in on their parents doing it? So does Nelly, who treated the Hills star’s foray into hip-hop diplomatically before he resurrected his classic hit “Hot In Herre” on Total Finale Live later on.

As you probably heard, Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz wasn’t able to perform with Andy, Joe, and Patrick on Total Finale Live, but the show must go on, as they say, which meant The Academy Is…’s Adam Siska, better known as Sisky, got to be a Fall Out Boy for a day.

Watch Sisky lovingly wish Pete and Ashlee a happy baby-having and pay tribute to the network that helped him plant his musical roots.
