"The lion fell in love with the lamb." It's a quote we all know and love from Twilight, a movie we all know and love. However, "the lion fell in love with the lamb... but the lamb was kinda bummed to find that the lion, her love, wound up being A BODY PILLOW," doesn't quite have the same doomed, romantic ring to it, does it?

Author Stephenie Meyer might not've seen it coming, but Twilight-themed body pillows seem to be all the cuddling rage amongst spoon-happy Twi-hards. According to Etsy, where the pillows are retailing for only $15, this amazing new development in vampire faux-companionship is known as a Manllow—half man, half pillow.

Here's a few choice nuggets from the product description: "Edward Cullen is finally here to be with you and only you. Sleep with him, cuddle with him, use him as a neck rest, the Edward Manllow is there to be your man and pillow all in one"

It's funny how life imitates art. It's even funnier how life imitates 30 Rock, isn't it?

Mark your calendars, and get READY, because the 2010 MTV VMAs are SET for Sunday, September 12, live from Los Angeles. That's right. Everyone knows New York was so 2009. Which is why we're packing up our laptops, live camera thingies that help broadcast stuff live, our Moonmen, and our favorite celebrities, ditching Times Square (old news!), and going someplace sunny for the 27th VMAs in Los Angeles.

Obviously anything could happen -- Someone could end up covered in blood! or even GET INTERRUPTED! Hugely famous people could meet, fall in love and GET MARRIED (right Katy and Russell?), all of *NSYNC could rise from the dust and perform "Bye Bye Bye" (#veryunlikely)... YOU NEVER KNOW! And seeing how I snuck backstage at Radio City Music Hall into a tiny, scary prop closet to take the above photo of a Moonman at 2009 VMAs, I'll be bringing you tons of Buzzworthy insider access to the 2010 VMAs. So stay tuned...

+ Relive the 2009 MTV VMAs and get secrets of the 2009 VMAs.

+ Brush up on your VMA history!

+ Not only has Miley Cyrus participated in the recording of both major Haiti benefit singles (Quincy Jones' "We Are The World" and the Simon Cowell-organized cover of R.E.M.'s "Everybody Hurts"), she's also organizing a charity auction as well. Miley, along with Demi Lovato and Britney Spears, is auctioning off clothing and memorabilia at Ebay.com/Miley. Proceeds will benefit the American Red Cross. (People)

+Last night's Super Bowl, which, in case you were doing your laundry or something, was won by the Saints (WHO DAT!), featured plenty of music. Queen Latifah sang "America The Beautiful," Carrie Underwood performed the national anthem, and The Who rocked (or wheezed) their way through the half-time show. But the whole thing was kicked off by Jay-Z, who, in a pre-recorded segment, performed a version of "Run This Town," backed by the Rutgers Symphony Orchestra. The only thing missing was Rihanna, who, though her vocals were used in the segment, did not appear. (MTV News)

+ Maybe it's because girl was busy! Rihanna is apparently back on he studio grind, hard at work with dance-pop producer/hitmaker David Guetta. You have to wonder if Guetta, who recently worked with Kelis, will move Rihanna away from the murky, atmospherics of Rated R and towards the dancefloor. (That Grape Juice)

+ Last week we mentioned that Ke$ha had released a video in which she defaced the famous Holllywood sign so that the letters read "Ke$hawood." Some thought it was a prank then; a bit of viral video trickery. Well, some were right. Entertainment Weekly did the while "news gathering" thing (I think it's called "reporting") and talked to someone at the Hollywood Sign Trust who called you-know-what on the whole escapade. (EW)

+ Justin Timberlake was awarded Harvard's coveted Hasty Pudding Man of the Year Award. Naturally, when accepting an award from such a hallowed institution, one dons a blond wig and a bra. (Rolling Stone)

+ In a recently released Twitvid, R. Kelly announced he had 15 (FIFTEEN!) more chapters of Trapped In The Closet ready to go. Much like with the three additional Star Wars films, I'm hoping for the best but fearing the worst. Wait, what am I saying? The worse these things are the better! Bring 'em on, Kells! (Idolator)

The 2009 MTV VMAs were exactly one month ago, and by now you've watched Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" performance, sat in awe of Beyonce's "Single Ladies" performance and Pink's high-flying trapeze act, squirmed uncomfortably over Lady Gaga's big, bloody "Paparazzi" performance, had your face rocked by Green Day's "East Jesus Nowhere," and worshiped at the altar of Jay-Z's "Empire State Of Mind" (with Alicia Keys and that unexpected Lil Mama drama) more times than there are Kanye interruption memes. And you know all there is to know about the making of Janet Jackson's breathtaking tribute to Michael Jackson.

But there are still a few things you might not know about the 2009 MTV VMAs. Like...

+ How a shocked Taylor Swift got from Radio City to the New York City train for her performance.

+ How Madonna slipped into a VMA rehearsal undetected DURING LUNCH!

+ How Pink's performance of "Sober" required not just her amazing acrobatics but some amazing camerawork.

+ Who took Jay-Z's place before the show.

+ How Green Day turned fire into fans...

And more!

For all the boys out there wondering why things just don't go their way with the ladies, just take note of Russell Brand*. Want to impress a girl? You don't have to be a sensitive, considerate human being; you don't have to buy her a nice, thoughtful gift. Heck, you don't even have to put a ring on it! All you have to do is make lewd comments from the stage while hosting a globally televised awards show, suggesting that you are readily available for a bit of the no-pants-dance.

Russell Brand, who's made no secret of his affection for Katy Perry during his stint hosting this year's VMAs -- he told the VMAs that he liked what he looked up the hole in Katy Perry's trousers --  has apparently gotten his girl. According to the Daily Mail, Brand and Perry just spent a romantic week in Thailand, getting to know one a little bit better while spending some time on the beach. And while Katy didn't exactly come out and name names, she more or less confirmed the union on Twitter, claiming, "After a week in magical Thailand I'm ready 2 face the real world again. Been schooled on Morrissey, Oscar Wilde & Peter Sellers... inspired." This led Perez Hilton, sort of a one-man C.S.I. for celeb-love trysts to conclude it must be on between the American rocker and the Brit funnyman, since Wilde, Morrissey and Sellers are a holy trinity to Brand.

Mission accomplished, Russell!

*This is sarcasm. While Russell Brand is an extremely amusing celebrity and probably an incredible person to hang out with we cannot, in any way, suggest mimicking his pick-up game unless you want to spend a night in central booking for harassment.

+ Watch Katy Perry rock Russell Brand at the 2009 VMAs.

After Madonna's sobering, heartfelt eulogy to the late, great Michael Jackson opened the 2009 MTV VMAs, Janet Jackson, along with some of the top dancers and choreographers in the world, paid tribute to her late brother in a way that made the most sense: a room-shaking, mind-bending pop spectacle of theatrics, special effects, and, of course, seemingly superhuman dance. It was an absolutely arresting performance, (I felt overwhelming privileged to be standing stage left watching the performance as the entirety of Radio City screamed as Janet reenacted "Scream"), wrought with power, emotion, and new meaning.

One more time, for one night only, Michael Jackson, whose performances brought sheer, unadulterated, ecstatic joy to his fans, danced again through the power of Janet's love and energy.

Watch Janet Jackson's 2009 VMA performance again, and watch the trailer for the new documentary, Michael Jackson's This Is It, out October 28.

And don't miss the MTV exclusive presentation of "The Making of Janet Jackson's Video Music Awards Tribute Performance," on Saturday, September 19 at 12:30pm.

Kristin Cavallari, Katy Perry, and Amber Rose picked up Buzzworthy Fashion Awards for the silvery spectacles and primal get-ups they wore to the 2009 VMAs. Now see which fashion honors Buzzworthy has bestowed upon Madonna, Olivia Palermo, Hayley Williams and more celebs for their VMA style!

MOST COMMANDING: TIE! MADONNA & OLIVIA PALERMO
Some stars like Amerie and Cassie opted for full-on color on the VMA red carpet. Madonna and Olivia Palermo, who wore Susan Woo, commanded the carpet in head-to-toe black. How New York of them.
+ Watch Olivia Palermo on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Madonna open the VMAs with a tribute to Michael Jackson.
+ Photos: MTV Stars on the red carpet.

ALL-AROUND CUTEST: HAYLEY WILLIAMS
THANK you, Hayley Williams. See, THIS is how you dress for the VMAs. When I chatted with Hayley inside of Radio City that night, she told me that Katy Perry told her about Jeremy Scott, who designed the LP-inspired skirt she's wearing. Hayley's vintage-rock look is spot-on perfect for the VMAs. It's youthful but not ridiculous, fun and dressed up (especially with those heels and the bright pop of color from her lipstick), but it's not over-the-top. Ahhhdorbs.

HOTTEST, MOST MAD MEN-INSPIRED GUY: GABE SAPORTA
Gabe Saporta + Balenciaga = Yeah you did.
+ Watch Cobra Starship on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Gabe introduce Lady Gaga's performance at the VMAs.
+ Watch Gabe discuss his VMA Mad Men style.

COOLEST THING COVERING SOMEONE'S BOOB: PINK
The sparkly pink heart covering Pink's boob during her death-defying performance of "Sober" was just one of the coolest elements of her jaw-dropping performance. I don't know what that heart thing was, but I kind of want one to stick on my laptop.
+ Watch Pink perform "Sober" at the VMAs.
+ Watch Pink on the VMA red carpet.

MOST REFLECTIVE/ SELF-REFLEXIVE: TIE! ADRIENNE BAILON & BEYONCE
Get it? GET IT? Because Adrienne, in a Stephen Sprouse dress, used to be in the Cheetah Girls, and Beyonce's wearing mirrors!
+ Watch Beyonce's "Single Ladies" VMA performance.
+ Watch Beyonce on the VMA red carpet.
+ Watch Adrienne Bailon interview everyone on the red carpet at the VMAs!

MOST THOUGHTFUL TRIBUTE TO FALLEN HOMIES: TIE! KID SISTER & DJ PREMIER
Buzzworthy idol Kid Sister took her red carpet fashion opportunity to pay tribute to the late Aaliyah, wearing in a shirt she bought on Aaliyah.com. Later that night at Lyor Cohen's VMA after party, DJ Premier (pictured with DJ Cassidy) remembered DJ AM by wearing a t-shirt with a photo of them together.
+ Watch Kid Sister discuss her amazing nails on the VMA red carpet.

MOST CASUAL FRIDAY ON SUNDAY: TIE! BRENT BOLTHOUSE & ANDY SAMBERG
Lazy Sunday? More like casual Friday. Brent Bolthouse kept it biznass casual like a BAWSE in Vans on the VMA red carpet, and Andy Samberg was his usually perfectly-bedheaded-and-a-little-unkempt-but not-in-a-way-that-he-smells-and-I-wish-all-guys-dressed-like-this self. I digress.

MOST LIKELY TO BE SEEN SPREAD OUT ON TOP OF A CAR ON HER MYSPACE: AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL'S JADE COLE
I mean, I'm just sayin'...

I took Buzzworthy on the road the other night -- and by "on the road," I mean 11 blocks south -- to the G-Star Raw Spring 2010 show at New York Fashion Week, where I caught up with Gabe Saporta on the red carpet (which he walked with Kara DioGuardi!)

We chatted about the VMAs, and invariably, about Taylor Swift and Kanye's big interruption. Here's what Gabe had to say about Kanye Gate -- "Kanye's crazy! It means he likes you!" and being Team Taylor. (And about looking TOTALLY Don Draper at the VMAs.)

This week, the Internet has been so atwitter with Kanye West VMA mashups, parodies, LOLpegs and so much stuff that I'm surprised Al Gore didn't have to go run and create a whole other Internet just to keep up with the contast demand for jokey Kanye interruption photos and videos. You can even have Kanye interrupt your entire website. Kanye's even been interrupting himself.

Taylor Swift's stock's through the roof, and Kanye kind of won too (for Team Kanye) by turning himself into a meme and making us all laugh through the week by turning into the new LOLcats. Here are 10 of the funniest Kanye interruption images.
