Coming at you from L.A. post-VMAs is this week's episode of "Bigger Than The Buzz"! Buzzworthy's very own Tamar Anitai and MTV News' James Montgomery sat down to discuss big VMA news and surprises in episode 6 of the most hilarious short-form pop culture web show to ever hit the internet in all of eternity. (Just my completely objective opinion.)

Up first, THE COOLEST BABY EVER!!!! In case you missed it, Beyoncé announced her pregnancy at this year's VMAs, first on the red carpet and then officially at the end of her performance of "Love On Top." As expected, the audience went crazy, and don't even get me started on the cut to Jay-Z after Beyoncé rubbed her belly. I will cry real tears in front of you. Do not even.

In addition to the Beyoncé/Jay-Z news that almost broke Twitter, at the VMAs we also found out that Katy Perry dances like your mom. No, seriously -- there is video evidence of Katy Perry dancing to Beyoncé's performance, and she's doing the adorable "I'm not really sure how I should be moving right now because this song is kind of mid-tempo so I'm just going to step from side to side and clap my hands" dance. Oh, and she's wearing a block on her head, so like, WATCH THE VIDEO.

And of course, what kind of VMA wrap-up show would this week's "Bigger Than The Buzz" be if Tamar and James didn't discuss Lady Gaga going full-on DUDE. Lady Gaga showed up to the VMAs (and stayed that way for the entire evening) as Jo Calderone, her male alter ego (and Adam Goldberg's seriously uncanny doppelgänger). And it turns out homeboy is a playaaaah. Kissing Britney Spears AND rubbing up on Snooki? Be careful, Jo. Lady Gaga's s*** list is not one we want to be on.

You might have seen her running around backstage with Beyoncé after she announced her pregnancy in our exclusive, all-access footage we shared with you guys, but we just wanted to make sure that you got a good look at Kelly Rowland's head-to-toe bla-DOW-ness at the VMAs. Let it all soak in; I'll give you a minute.

I'll just be the first to say it -- Kelly Rowland looks like Barbie! And I definitely mean that as a compliment! The perfectly straight bangs (is there just like, not weather in L.A.?), the dress that fits to a tee, and those peep-toe pumps (I'm pretty sure Barbie literally owned those)... She's a real life doll! After she partied it up at the VMAs, Kelly probably went home to her pink dream house (elevator included) and then became an architect. Some girls have all the luck.

You saw the convincing greaser hair and the stained guy's T-shirt, but there might have been an extra ingredient to Lady Gaga's VMA attire that you did not see -- Lady Gaga may or may not have worn a prosthetic penis to the VMAs to complete her female-to-male transformation from Lady Gaga to her alter ego, Jo Calderone. Initiate pun overload.

According to Us Weekly, Lady Gaga's Jo Calderone getup at the VMAs not only included sideburns, fake stubble and men's slacks, but also a prosthetic penis. We have to say, though, we were at the VMAs and didn't see anything suspicious going on in Jo's pants, but then again, we didn't look. It's really not our business!

Lady Gaga's creative director Laurieanne Gibson spoke to MTV News about why Gaga chose to attend the VMAs as Jo Calderone and Jo Calderone only: "I hope people take the fearlessness away [and] the creative notion that we constantly push boundaries, that we're not followers."

A follower Lady Gaga is not! We definitely get that! Considering Lady Gaga seamlessly integrated fake horns onto her head and wore actual meat to last year's VMA, we'd applaud Lady Gaga if she went all in and committed to Jo Calderone by packing some faux heat.

You know, for someone who is considered such a sex symbol, it's kind of ironic (AND VERY GRATIFYING) that when no one's watching, Katy Perry kind of dances like your mom. We have video proof! Thanks to MTV's All Access cameras that were set up all around the Nokia Theatre L.A. during the 2011 VMAs, we have an exclusive look into the unique dancing styles of Katy Perry that she was practicing during Beyoncé's live performance of "Love On Top." And by "unique" I mean, "Wait, does she seriously dance like that? TRIUMPH!"

It could have been that GIANT BLOCK ON HER HEAD that was hindering her moves, but from the looks of this exclusive vid, Katy Perry could maybe use an Amazon gift card so she could pick up some of Carmen Electra's instructional DVDs or something. We love you Katy, and we know what a goofball you can be, but when Beyoncé's performing, the swingy elbow dance thing is not what you're supposed to do!!

+ Watch "VMA All Access: Katy Perry's Rhythm" and watch Katy's version of "getting down." And then stand up a little straighter today knowing that even the Video Of The Year winner has a hard time looking cool sometimes.

So yes, everyone's talking about Lady Gaga as Jo Calderone and little Jayoncé (Beyoncé and Jay-Z's baby!) and Bruno Mars' tribute to Amy Winehouse, but what about the stuff you might have missed at the 2011 VMAs? MTV had their cameras set up virtually everywhere at the VMAs, and they allowed visitors to MTV.com to access whatever camera they wanted at any time they wanted. Oh, thought you knew!

In case you happened to just catch the show on TV, we got three exclusive videos from some pretty hilarious moments that you may have missed from the 2011 VMAs. Up first, we have a super stealthy video (no, seriously, you guys got kinda creepy with those angles!) that shows some very private moments that didn't air during the show. We see Tyler, The Creator freaking the eff out in his dressing room, Katy Perry literally running around backstage, Lady Gaga as Jo Calderone lighting Adele's cigarette (!!!!!!!) and an obviously drunk-ish Lady Gaga celebrating her win backstage. This is all access stuff, people!

In our second video, we see Beyoncé's big pregnancy reveal from the beginning of the night to the end. We see her posing in that stunning orange dress on the VMA red carpet as she announces, "I have a surprise," just before she rubs her belly. And after her big reveal during her performance of "Love On Top," we see her run backstage as she's followed by BFF Kelly Rowland and hubby Jay-Z. If you liked Beyoncé before, you'll LOVE her now. She's just the sweetest ever!

Family reunions are the best, especially when they're to celebrate world VMA domination! After receiving two Moonmen for Best Pop Video and the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award , Britney Spears grabbed a cocktail and a cozy spot on the couch to catch up with baby sis, Jamie Lynn Spears. Too much cuteness on one piece of furniture, IMHO.

Everyone knows blood is thicker than water, and there's nothing more adorbz than seeing two related BFFs out for a post-VMA celebratory night on the town. Judging by the cocktail in her hand and total adult-profesh attire, it looks like Jamie Lynn's all grown up, guys. WHAT. When did this even happen!? Remember when she was itty-bitty "Zoey 101," calling boys for dates? Now she's probably calling babysitters on speed dial.

Side note: Does having amazing skin run in the Spears genes? Um, can you add a limb to your family tree for us?

IDK if any of y'all noticed that Justin Bieber seemed kind of somber last night at the 2011 VMAs. The camera cut to him several times throughout the show, and he just didn't seem his usual self. I thought maybe it was a case of the sadz or like, maybe his leopard print high-tops were too tight. I DON'T KNOW, PEOPLE, I'm not a mind reader.

I'm also wrong, apparently, because according to this photo, Justin Bieber was having a damn good time. Video Of The Year winner (w00t!!) Katy Perry and husband Russell Brand were seated in front of Bieber in the audience and posing for what would have been a totally dece photo for the couple's fireplace mantel or a bedroom dresser... until Justin Bieber PHOTOBOMBED the hell out of it! Seriously! Look at that face!

We're glad to see you weren't actually sad last night, Biebs. And that you are still a goofy teenager. Also, commence internet Bieber Photobomb Memegate 2011 NOW.
