Like that promising K-Fed fella, who “has attempted rapping and acting” since appearing in Brit’s “My Prerogative” (2004) and landed cameos on CSI and One Tree Hill, where he dug deep to play (ahem) “a wannabe musician.” (MTV News)

+ Omigod, remember that time David Archuleta, like, totally DIDN’T win American Idol? Yeah, he’s pretty much moved on. Unfortch, we can’t say the same thing about these traumatized-for-life tweenage girls … (Best Week Ever)

Linkin Park’s new CD/ DVD, Road to Revolution: Live at Milton Keynes — shot at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes, England in June of 2008 — is mere minutes away from its November 25 release. So Chester and Phoenix sat down to answer a few questions about LP’s latest live effort and handing over the baby-naming duties, once again, to Linkin Park fans.

Check out the interview below, and stay tuned for more Buzzworthy interviews with Linkin Park.

Truth time! We’ve been chugging along on the Estelle train (Choo-choo!) ever since we first heard/downloaded/ruined (by slaughtering it at Sing Sing Karaoke) “American Boy“ back in March. But in our (admittedly) way-biased opinion, her new video, “Come Over,” — the third single off her breakthrough sophomore album, Shine) has everything you want out of a four-minute (and six-second) track:

Wispy/hypnotic soprano vocals? Check. Shiny, Hefty-bag inspired little black dress? Check. Smooth reggae beats from a cornrowed/shades-wearing Sean Paul? Double check.

And let’s not forget the fact that she looks absolutely flawless (love those thick, lustrous maybe-it’s-Maybelline lashes!) despite rocking an edgy, Rihanna-like side ‘do and an impossibly pointy pink strapless number. So check it out, watch Estelle send those amazing/regrettable late-night drunken(?) text messages (Booty call!) and give it up for her new, sultry Jazmine Sullivan/”Need U Bad” sound.

+ Plus, watch Estelle and Kanye West rock the EMAs with their live (and oh-so-topical) rendition of “American Boy.” It’s an Obama-nation!

To say that Britney Spears has had a tumultuous few years is an understatement akin to saying that the War on Iraq was “kind of a bad move.”

Following a series of wrong turns that transformed her from record-breaking pop princess to fallen idol and TMZ punchline, the world finally saw a renewed, redeemed, and stronger-than-ever Britney at the 2008 VMAs this past September.

But beyond the tabloids, and aside from the pink wig, the trips to Starbucks, the hectic paparazzi chases, and what seemed like the endless stream of strangers coming in and out of her life, what the hell really happened to Britney Spears?

On Sunday, November 30 at 10 pm ET, Britney’s returning home — to MTV — in “Britney: For The Record.”

On the brink of her 27th birthday and the release of her highly anticipated new album, Circus, Britney Spears is pulling back the curtain to tell her side of the story, reveal how she returned to the spotlight, and prove that everyone deserves a shot at a second chance.

Watch the trailer below, check out exclusive photos from the documentary, and find out more about this revealing look at one of the world’s biggest pop stars.

Britney: For the Record

Last week, we told you all about our crazy red carpet adventures at the 2008 mtvU Woodie Awards. And in addition to stalking Locksley’s publicist, making moony-eyes at Boys Like Girls‘ Martin Johnson and gulping down a seriously unhealthy amount of mini sliders, we also managed to score killer seats to the show.

Which means we had an un-frickin’-believable view of Lykke Li and All Time Low’s performances, Paramore’s acceptance speech (Oh, like you didn’t already know they won) and Santogold’s Aladdin-meets-Purple Rain parachute pants.

So check out a few more pics from the show (and yes, that’s Hit The Lights making the most of the beer pong table) and tune in tonight on mtvU to catch the entire thing!

Meanwhile, for those of you who demand instant gratification (as in, you can’t wait another SECOND without knowing whether or not There For Tomorrow got wood) here’s a list of all the big winners.

+ Plus, head over to the official Woodies site at mtvU.com to flip through the show highlights. And check back soon to catch the full performances online.

Simple Plan’s latest single, “Save You,” is an emotionally charged love letter to lead singer’s Pierre Bouvier’s brother, Jay Bouvier, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma at age 28 and is now in remission. “Save You” details Jay’s struggle and serves as a moving, hope-filled tribute and show of support not only to Jay and Simple Plan guitarist Jeff Stinco’s mother — also a cancer survivor — but as a platform to raise awareness about the need for a cure for cancer.

Proceeds from the downloads of “Save You” single go to the Simple Plan Foundation, which donates to cancer charities around the world.
