We're still coming down from our mtvU Woodie Awards high, but the show must go on. Let's talk Twitter!

Demi Lovato returned to Twitter this week after logging off for a bit during her stint in a treatment facility. Glad to see you back and healthy, girl! Katy Perry tweeted about some "#popstarproblems" (we have somehow never run into those), and Rihanna reached a startling 4 MILLION followers. And OMFG BRITNEY SPEARS TWEETED A PIC FROM THE SET OF HER "TILL THE WORLD ENDS" MUSIC VIDEO OMFG!!!!!!!!

Also this week, there was tons of Woodie Awards talk. Pete Wentz got a peek at Odd Future's stage setup before they performed and had a very accurate premonition: "Odd future performance looks like it's gonna be insane...." Um, it was -- to say the least.

We were also at the Woodies working hard, but in our downtime we got to explore the sights and sounds of SXSW in Austin: "I rode a pedicab with my boss to a Har Mar [Superstar] show." Running a blog is grueling work sometimes, guys. Honestly. Backbreaking stuff.

Check out all of this week's celebrity tweets below, and follow us on Twitter at @MTVBuzzworthy!

Whew boy, the Oscars sure were a snoozefest, huh? Good thing there are way more interesting things going on in the world right now, such as Charlie Sheen! Let's talk about them.

1.) No one really knows whether renegade street artist Banksy showed up to the Academy Awards on Sunday. Probably for the best since he didn't win anything, though his nominated documentary "Exit Through The Gift Shop" was a masterwork. Before you Netflix it, and I recommend you do, get to know more of Banky's subversive art. (Vimeo)

2.) Speaking of the Academy Awards -- or, as I dubbed them on Twitter, the #Oscarzzzzzzzzz -- James Franco made some funny faces, and Jezebel has archived them for all of us to enjoy.

3.) Move over "Glee"! The George Mason University marching band is the new hotness! Evidence: this performance of Rage Against The Machine's "Bulls On Parade." And OMFG don't mess with the girl in the red shirt. She will WRECK you. (Vulture)

4.) Rolling Stone is holding a tournament thingy to feature an unsigned musical act on its storied cover. Sixteen bands are up for your vote in the first round, which ends Wednesday, March 2. Personally, I'm feeling the Steelwells, Mod Sun, The Gallery, Romany Rye, Tha Boogie, Ume and The Americans. Wait, that might be everyone. (Rolling Stone)

5.) What do you get when you cross a Justin Bieber pun with Photoshop? Bieberpuns. (Tumblr)

6.) I bet you didn't know Kermit the Frog was the lead singer of LCD Soundsystem. OK, so he's not, but he lip-synchs a good game in this Muppets live performance of "Dance Yrself Clean." (Stereogum)

7.) Charlie Sheen sure is wack-a-doodly-doo, huh? Here's the [WINNING!] ABC interview that birthed a billion Internet memes. (ABC News)

8.) And here's my favorite of those aforementioned memes: Charlie Sheen Quotes Presented By Baby Sloths. (Buzzfeed)

9.) Last week I pointed you to Adele's amazing performance of "Rolling In The Deep" on the "Late Show with David Letterman." This week Imma point you to Mike Posner's smooth-as-steel cover of Adele's "Rolling In The Deep." (Idolator)

10.) This has nothing to do with anything but my mouth: CHOCOLATE-COVERED POTATO CHIP ICE CREAM. It's real! It's happening! Thank you, Jimmy Fallon. Srsly. Thank you. (Rodzilla)

Big weekend in hair, fellow celeb watchers. Two stars decided to take locks into their own hands and switch up their looks, as Chris Brown dyed his hair platinum blond and Lady Gaga darkened her bangs. I know, we can hardly believe it ourselves.

First, Chris Brown. The "Yeah" singer jumped on Twitter, posting a photo with the simple caption, "look at me now." So we did. Because he told us to! And there we see Breezy rocking what can only be described as the male version of the Amber Rose -- close-cropped and platinum blond.

Lady Gaga, on the other hand, was probably sitting around all weekend, making snack food for an Oscar party and waiting for her "Born This Way" video to debut when she decided to switch up her look a little bit. To be fair, Gaga switches up her look a little bit pretty much every waking hour of her life. But her dye job, turning her bangs dark brown, looks adorably DIY. Plus, extra points for her sorta neo-Brenda Walsh denim outfit!

What do you think of Chris Brown and Lady Gaga's hair adventures? Let us know in the comments!

One of the best things about watching the Grammy Awards was the virtual peanut gallery of voices created by Twitter, with your entire feed gushing about Lady Gaga, crying for Justin Bieber, tipping their hat (or throwing it on the ground) to Arcade Fire and, all at once, asking, "Who is Esperanza Spalding!?"

But the Grammy Award for Best Live Tweeting of the Grammys definitely should have gone to a man who was conspicuously absent from last night's proceedings: Kanye West. Bundled up somewhere with a remote control and mad zings, Kanye expressed a wide array of emotions, as well as a couple of totally hilarious observations, throughout the evening. Let's take a look at five of his best tweeted bon mots.

1.) Upon Train winning for Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group: "I didn't know Howie Mandel was a part of Train"

2.) This could only be about Justin Bieber's performance: "NINJAS...YESSSSS!!!!!!!"

3.) Respect for the aged: "Mick Jagger is crazy fresh!!! #OGSWAG"

4.) John Mayer, you got zinged: "I didn't know Johnny Depp played guitar"

5.) "Damn... I can't find the words to explain how I feel about the best new artist award... Don't wanna say the wrong thing" No, BY ALL MEANS, say the wrong thing!!!!

A couple of days after Christmas, I was home, staring at leftovers when I decided, as I am wont to do, to check Twitter. And much to my utter joy, my favorite MC, Fabolous, was live-tweeting an episode of the true crime/entrapment show, "To Catch A Predator." Which was great news.

As you may know, Fabolous is an accomplished tweeter, capable of starting a trending topic at the drop of a dime (most of which are not appropriate to reprint in a family publication such as this). He's also an avid culture vulture, often commenting on movies and shows he happens to be watching.

The thing about Fabolous' "To Catch A Predator" tweets are how much joy he gets from watching, well, predators get caught by the show's host, Chris Hansen. Like, nothing in the world gives Fabolous as much joy as seeing Chris Hansen walk in on a very, very bad man and tell him that he and his sins have just been broadcast on television.

Here are some of his finest TCAP tweets:

+ "MSNBC's "To Catch A Predator" is 1 of the funniest shows on TV.. & its not a COMEDY"

+ "I don't know how Chris Hansen does this show wit a straight face... I would bust out laughing every time I walk in & c the guy"

+ "The funny s--- is Chris Hansen got the white man voice that people do when the imitating a white man.. Lmfao."

+ "Chris Hansen said "There ain't no 40 yr olds to party wit, in the whole state of Ohio?" #ImDead"

Kanye West closed last night's 2010 MTV VMAs with his incredible new song, "Runaway." It was a stunning performance, packed with surreal white-draped stage show, ballerinas and special guest MC Pusha T. But most of all, what Kanye's VMA performance did was put the spotlight back where it belongs: on Kanye West's music.

So here are 5 things you need to know about Kanye West's brand-new song, "Runaway."

1. The live performance wasn't the first time you heard "Runaway."
A 30-second trailer for what would seem to be the song's video (though calling them "videos" almost seems quaint after the "moving painting" that was "Power"), aired early in the evening. The clip we saw, directed by West, himself, featured some deer (!), some dancers and a silhouetted Kanye, holding a woman in his arms as explosions go off. Calling to mind films by Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch, the video looks tremendous.

2. The guest MC at the end of the performance was Pusha T, from The Clipse.
Long thought to be one of the best MC's in hip-hop, Pusha T -- one half of the beloved if under-appreciated duo The Clipse -- got his moment in the spotlight last night. Decked out in a salmon-colored blazer with the sleeves pushed up (Miami Vice style), Push spit his guest verse at the front of the VMA stage. With Push now signed to Kanye's G.O.O.D. Music imprint, expect to hear a lot more from him soon.

3. Kanye West and Heidi Klum have similar tastes in suits.
The eagle-eyed folks at TMZ noticed the distinctive similarities between Kanye and the "Project Runway" host's fashion choices.

4. "Runaway" was positioned as response to Taylor Swift's "Innocent." But it really wasn't.
Coming a short while after Taylor Swift's emotional response to last year's VMA fiasco, many thought Kanye's performance would have some Taylor content. However, it was not to be. "Runaway," is more or less about how Kanye keeps screwing up whatever good relationships he's had with women (Amber Rose? His ex-fiance Alexis Phifer?), telling them to "run away as fast as you can."

5. The initial reaction to Kanye's "Runaway" was overwhelmingly positive.
"The New York Times" called "Runaway" "alternately punishing and mesmerizing," while the "Village Voice" declared, "Kanye still the best. Like, there are few things more obvious than this in the twenty-first century." Meanwhile, on Twitter, the the public seemed to be resoundingly behind "Runaway."

There were so many gasp-worthy moments, eye-popping outfits and legendary performances from last night's 2010 MTV VMAs that's it's hard to wrap your head around it all. So what better way to look back at an incredible VMA than through the always-interesting lens of celebrity Twitter accounts.

+ Nicki Minaj had a great night, kicking things off with her pre-show performance of "Check It Out" with Will.i.am. But the fun had just begun. Just check out Nicki Minaj with Ke$ha, Rihanna and her co-presenter, Katy Perry, in this Twitpic she posted:

(Credit: @NickiMinaj)

Rihanna made a shocking appearance onstage with Eminem, where she performed her part of their duet, "Love The Way You Lie." It was a special gift to all her fans watching, and Rihanna seemed to know it would come as an unexpected turn of events, tweeting, "SURPRISE!!!....just had to do it guys."

For Katy Perry, the MTV VMAs are a special event. It's where she first met her fiancé, Russell Brand. Perry tweeted about the anniversary, shortly before showtime: "To the 1-year anniversary of our love @ the #VMAs @rustyrockets. You're here w/us in spirit :)." She then showed off her manicure love letter to Brand:

In celebration of his Best New Artist victory, Justin Bieber invoked the name of '80s action icon Chuck Norris (who Biebs once jokingly suggested should play him in the film version of his life), on his Twitter, declaring, "CHUCK NORRIS...We did it. Hahahaha."

But perhaps the best tweets came from one of our favorite comedians, Aziz Ansari. Last week, the host of the 2010 MTV Movie Awards joked, "Looks like I'll be introducing @kanyewest Sunday at the MTV VMAs. I missed last year's show. Hope there's nothing I need to know." During the show he panicked when he found out Kanye had approval over his introductory jokes.

And since the final curtain he has sent out a bunch of hilarious tweets chronicling (the fictional) exploits of Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith (aka "The Karate Kid").

Twitter is a great way to keep up with your friends, keep up with breaking news and keep your pun game tight. But it also has a downside, especially for celebs who insist on using it as a constantly updating, stream-of-consciousness look at the inner workings (or derailings) of their mind.

There really ought to be a squad of Twitter Cops who go can intercept celebs when they're about to make an ill-timed or ill-advised tweet, telling them in a cool, calm voice: "Back away from Twitter, put the BlackBerry down. It's gonna be alright."

So without further ado, here are 5 celebs who might want to think twice before hitting send on their next missive.

1.) Tameka "Tiny" Cottle: T.I.'s longtime girlfriend and now wife usually tweets pretty innocuous stuff, like, "On the plane headed 2 Vega$$$." But she might want to think twice about tweeting after she and her on-probation husband get busted on drug possession charges. Tiny! You got the right to remain silent! Exercise it!

2.) 50 Cent: Curtis' tweets have been super entertaining, if occasionally a little aggro. But last time I checked, a couple of bullet holes and a few platinum albums do not equal a law degree. So with that in mind, Fiddy, maybe don't advise Tiny to take the blame for her husband?

3.) Paris Hilton: The tweets may lie, but TMZ, in this case, does not. The other night, Paris Hilton was somehow in bed, watching "Family Guy." I say "somehow," because she was simultaneously being arrested for drug possession in Vegas. This could be a classic example of what happens when you have your assistants tweet for you but don't mention to them that you've been arrested. Paris has since used Twitter to proclaim her innocence.

4.) Chris Brown: Subtly throwing shots at his ex-girlfriend, Rihanna? Check. Getting into beef with Soulja Boy? Check. Ranting at music retailers? Check. Chris Brown and Twitter need couples therapy.

5.) Lindsay Lohan: Sadly, Lindsay's Twitter account might be a rather accurate representation of where she's at her in life, literally and figuratively. In the course of three tweets, a prerehab Lohan alerted people to a fashion website, thanked someone for assisting her in her fight against draconian child labor practices and took a shot at her father. She's been pretty mellow since getting out of rehab. Let's hope it stays that way (for her sake).

...And for the record, the celebrity who should NEVER take a Twitter break is Kanye West. Obvz.

It's been a long time since America has seen such a hotly contested and tight election. The mind wanders back to the heady days of 2000; to hanging chads and protests outside of Florida civic buildings. Well, folks, it looks like happy days are here again: Lady Gaga has just barley edged out Britney Spears (and Barack Obama and Justin Bieber), to become the Queen of Twitter.

That's right, Lady Gaga is actually the most followed person on Twitter. Back in July, we noted that Gaga had hit the 5 million follower mark, putting her a couple hundred thousand Twitterers behind Brittles in the follower race. But today she pulled ahead of Spears, accruing to 5,741,000 to Britney's mere 5,703,000.

As they say in the journalism biz: the situation is fluid! You never know when they sleeping giant that is Britney Spears could awaken.

Fluid situation or not, Gaga is taking her title rather seriously. The Queen of Twitter released a video, addressing her constituency, thanking "all my beautiful little monsters for following me and claiming she would "never to partake in celebrity online shenanigans." Meet the new queen, not quite the same as the old queen.
