One of the truly amazing things about Twitter is the insight it gives us into the minds of our favorite celebrities. And we aren't just talking about their tweets. Many celebs choose to express themselves in their profile pics, in weird, unique and fascinating ways. Let's take a look at some of the best (and strangest).

1.) Nelly, who goes by @nelly_mo, comes prepared for the next Twitter outage.

2.) Kevin Jonas: As the Jonas Brother with the lowest profile, @KEVINJONAS keeps up appearances by not making one in his Twitter profile pic. Instead we get a shot of his and wife Danielle Deleasa's yorkie, Riley.

3.) Trey Songz: You'd think @treysongz, the inventor of sex, could afford a nicer digital camera!
4.) Tyrese: @Tyrese's Twitter profile pic is only kinda safe for work. (View it here). Tyrese shows an affinity for online "animation" with this .gif.

5.) Kellan Lutz: "Twilight" star @kellanlutz does not look, um ... nearly vampire-y enough.

6.) VV Brown: Nice hat, @VVbrown!

7.) Dan Coddaire: The Set Your Goals guitarist, who goes by @danthejew, discovered the effects tool on iPhoto with this pic. Who hasn't had fun with that?

8.) Justin Pierre: That is not actually the Motion City Soundtrack lead singer, AKA @JCPMCS. But he seems like a chill dude just the same, which must be why Pierre made him his profile pic.

9.) Jessica Simpson: Technically this is Jessica's background image, not her profile pic. But just the same, no image quite depicts @jessicasimpson's charms and ability to laugh at herself like this one.

10.) Kanye West: Honorable mention, since he just joined Twitter today (follow him @KanyeWest). Kanye's profile image is the artwork for his most recent single, "Power."

It's the most anticipated sequel since Empire Strikes Back or Star Trek II: Wrath Of Khan or when the McRib returned in 2007. It's Lady Gaga and Beyonce, back again, with the video for Gaga's "Telephone."
The last time these two shared a music video, with Bey's "Video Phone," the result was a Hype Williams-helmed monster full of Tarantino references and style for days.
This time around, Gaga's go-to director Jonas Akerlund (who directed "Paparazzi" as well as videos for Madonna, Metallica and blink-182) will be behind the camera, as the heavyweight champs of pop reunite for round two.
According to MTV News, Gaga purposely tried to take a backseat in "Video Phone," deferring to Beyonce and Williams and playing the supporting role as Bey rocked a Bettie Page 'do and played with guns. For "Telephone," Gaga will likely be front and center, "rocking frilly leotards" and "destroyed denim," from designers Franc Fernandez and Oscar Olima.
More tidbits about Gaga and Beyonce's "Telephone" video: "Telephone" will apparently continue the Tarantino-homage, as Beyonce and Gaga have been snapped filming the video in a yellow truck not unlike Uma Thurman's whip in Kill Bill. Also, Tyrese is rumored to be making an appearance.
You can check out photos of Gaga and Beyonce on the video set at PopShelter. And in the meantime, take another look at the "Video Phone" video below.

Wow, R. Kelly. To invoke a joke from 2005, why can't I quit you? Maybe it's because, despite everything (and I think we all know what that means), you keep coming up with modern art masterpieces like this... this... this ode to reproduction, "Pregnant."
So many bon mots here, it's hard to choose. Kells compares his taste in women to his taste in tequila, meets a girl with an "unbelievable booty" and decides he wants to move with her to a picket-fenced suburb with a dog. There's also a lot of talk about getting said lady pregnant, but I figured you could infer that from the song title. At this point in his career, R. Kelly isn't playing games. He just wants to go Cody Chesnutt on you.
BTW -- and this is also disturbing -- Tyrese, who has a verse of his own on the song, seems to be talking to the exact same girl (though I could be wrong). Either way, bravo, Kells. You have done it again.

Today's episode of It's On With Alexa Chung featured a little something for everyone -- book suggestions, Tyrese and his man muscles, Transformers helmets, cake smashing, and a live rendition of "Birthday Sex." If you weren't entertained, then you just don't know good TV. Anyway, here's what Alexa wore today!

Wednesday, July 1
+ Dress: A.P.C.
+ Shoes: Frye.
+ Knee-highs: Hue.
+ Beaded necklace: Her own.
So, look what's on sale... a gorgeous navy A.P.C. (one of Alexa's favorite brands) mohair dress. It's not super summery, but it's winter somewhere, right? Buy it and keep it for later, because it's on sale for $190 at apc.fr.

... Or check out this more summery navy button-down dress by model Erin Wasson's RVCA line. It's $105 at Opening Ceremony -- one of Alexa's favorite shops.

Finally, Alexa wore her own beaded necklace, but check eBay's selection of Native American beaded medallion necklaces.
