You poor girl -- you poor, poooor girl, so close to Tyson Ritter in the It's On With Alexa Chung audience. If that were me, oh, the outrage: A prop? A prop, Tyson? Is that all we mean to each other? You reach out to me, press my hand on your skinny, sweaty torso, but only because "it fits with the lyrics"? No, no. Stop playing with people's hearts, Tyson Ritter. I have FEELINGS. A REAL HEART beats within this chest.

But, you know, make your own call on The All-American Rejects' live performance from It's On With Alexa Chung, which features the lyrics to which I referred, from the band's When The World Comes Down single, "I Wanna."

And OK, maybe I overreacted. The girl in Alexa Chung's audience could have had it much worse -- she could have been that guitar. Seriously, Tyson gets up in that guitar, then he shimmies his, he-chest and (I swear) licks it...

Apologies if you were here for the music. Of course, after you watch the Rejects, you can check out videos of Alexa Chung's assorted musical guests, including Kid Cudi, Phoenix, Metric, Sean Kingston and more.

If you watch REALLY closely and very carefully, it ALMOST seems like Joey Fatone's hitting on the model in this behind-the-scenes video taken at an *NSYNC video shoot back in 2000 -- from the looks of Joey's Manic Panic red streaks, I'd say they were probably shooting the "It's Gonna Be Me" video. And I know -- Joey? Hitting on a pretty girl? Crazy, right? And so subtle!

Oh, and here's some knowledge for you, the girl in the video is model Kim Smith -- Tyson Ritter's longtime girlfriend. She was also in *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye" video and Maroon 5's "Wake Up Call."

+ Watch *NSYNC's vintage video after the jump, check out more prom videos, watch Justin make fun of Lance Bass for forgetting the words to "It's Gonna Be Me," and watch JC Chasez at the TRL finale.

Oh, the lengths to which Tyson Ritter will go for your happiness... Months ago he stood on a Malibu beach, staring down the icy ocean water, knowing exactly how much it was gonna hurt to jump in.

The All-American Rejects' frontman used an airplane metaphor to describe the inevitable suffering, saying that he knew his "landing gear" was gonna come way up in that chilly water. "I might have ovaries by the end of the day," he joked. Had he seen this coming, the song may have been called "The Ocean Blows."

After watching the Rich Lee-directed (Fergie, Chamillionaire, Evanescence) video for "The Wind Blows," I can safely say that it was well worth the shrinkage. The video -- a hazy ocean-side romance, perfectly matches the song's melodic heartache. The band describes it as a "love story that doesn't end bad, it just ends." Kinda like their latest album, When The World Comes Down: a thrilling emotional rollercoaster that has to end, but does so on a positive note. Follow the Oklahoma boys down to the Malibu beach, and watch the dreamy video for their second When The World Comes Down single, "The Wind Blows."

Five words for you: Tyson. Ritter. On. The. Beach. One more to push you over the edge: "Wet." ... I. KNOW, girl? Tyson himself called the All-American Rejects' upcoming video, "The Wind Blows," their sexiest video of his life, and not for nothin' neither.

After AAR's devil-may-care, waking-up-the-neighbors high-school hijinx video for their last smash single, "Gives You Hell," director Rich Lee, who also shot Fergie's "Clumsy" video, framed up the guys under a sophisticated yet undeniably adult lens, employing a wind machine and icy-cold Cali waters that almost turned Tyson's "landing gear" into ovaries. (Tyson's words, not mine). Open heart, enter lust.

Watch a clip of All-American Rejects' upcoming video, "The Wind Blows," and don't miss the video premiere this Monday, April 27.
