Miley Cyrus and "Jersey Shore" star Snooki are from different worlds. Miley grew up near Nashville, while Snooki is straight from the Tri-State area. Still, it seems that these two lovely young ladies share a kinship over big hair and hot guys.

As it turns out: Snooki has inspired young Miley. The teen queen wants to dress as the reality TV star for Halloween. (Yes, we know it's still 10 months away.) "Yes! [I watch 'Jersey Shore'] all the time. It's my favorite show," Miley exclaimed to the MTV News guest correspondent at the Grammys. "I'm gonna be you for Halloween — I'm doing the poof and everything. My boyfriend's going to be Ronnie. Or The Situation we haven't decided ... he's more of a character." (Apparently Miley is all about referring to her "Last Song" costar, Liam Hemsworth, as her boyfriend now!)

Over the past six seasons, "The Office" has had a number of great guest stars that would be hard—that's what she said—to beat. We're thinking of folks like Oscar-nominee Amy Ryan and bombshell Jessica Alba, who made a memorable cameo in a boot-legged video alongside Jack Black. But when we heard that Golden Globe host and series creator Ricky Gervais' dream guest star was Ryan Gosling, well, we nearly melted. Now if only Ryan were game. When we caught up with the 29-year-old while promoting his new flick "Blue Valentine" at the Sundance Film Festival, we just had to ask.

"I love it. He's my hero," Ryan said regarding Ricky and the proposed cameo. "He was like, 'Yeah, I think Ryan would be the perfect guy to play a total psycho, to go into his office and kill everybody," he added with a laugh. "Yeah, anytime. He's the best."

If you've ever grazed past a shot of "White Collar" actor Matt Bomer in a magazine, on TV or on the Internet (maybe you saw him on Hollywood Crush?) and done a major double take, you're not alone. We, too, think he has an uncanny resemblance to a few other choice attractive actors, namely "Vampire Diaries" bad boy Ian Somerhalder and "Smallville" star Tom Welling.

So, when Matt came into the MTV News offices to chat about the return of his USA series, we just couldn't let him leave without asking him the real question on all of our minds: Are the three of you guys really not related? Just look at those pictures above — it's hard to tell the difference, right? After the jump, check out what Matt had to say about our family tree inquisition!

It seems like if you work with "Southland" star Ben McKenzie at some point you're bound to get cast in the newest, hottest vampire franchise. Don't believe us? Well, Cam Gigandet was on "The O.C." and then went on to star in "Twilight." Kevin Alejandro is on "Southland,", but he'll also be joining the cast of "True Blood". Plus, as Ben so, um, nicely reminded us he also has a connection to the world of "Vampire Diaries."

"Paul Wesley played Donnie [on "The O.C.] and is now on 'Vampire Diaries,'" Ben reminded MTV News, jokingly adding, "You need to do your research."

So with such a connection to the world of bloodsuckers and night crawlers, is there a vampire franchise he'd like to sink his teeth into, too? Well, the answer is yes, but its' also not "Twilight," "True Blood" or "The Vampire Diaries." Ben, you see, has more rock'n'roll aspirations on his horizons. That is, if they'll have him.

Remember when Lady Gaga was on "The Hills?" No? That's fine because we've searched deep within the MTV archives and unlocked the September 2008 clip for your enjoyment.

You might be asking yourself: How did we remember that she was on "The Hills?" Well, to be quite honest, we didn't. But, "The City" star Kelly Cutrone did. When she stopped by our offices to chat about her new book, "If You Have to Cry Go Outside," and her new show, "Kell on Earth," the often forgotten Lady Gaga episode was resurrected from reality TV heaven.

If you caught our sneak peek clip last week of Ryan Gosling nearly jumping off a bridge in his and Michelle Williams' latest film "Blue Valentine," you know it's some heavy stuff. The film, which debuted Sunday at the Sundance Film Festival, finds Ryan and Michelle playing a young couple who try to salvage their failing marriage by stealing away to a theme hotel. Their love story is then replayed through multiple time periods. When MTV News caught up with the playful pair, however, it became obvious that not everything about "Blue Valentine" is as super serious as we had expected.

If you've ever wondered what Michelle's hidden talent is, apparently it is reciting all of the presidents' names, in order, by memory. When MTV's Josh Horowitz asked how it came about, costar Ryan joked, "She just did that. No one knew she was going to do that." After a little cajoling, Michelle agreed to sing the presidents for us. Click play on the clip below to above all 44 commanders-in-chief. And yes, Michelle, we do think this earns you a spot in Dead Man's Bones.

What do you think of Michelle's singing skills?

The men have spoken, and AskMen.com has put out its yearly list of the top 99 most desirable women. In what shouldn't be too surprising, Emmanuelle Chriqui took the top honor. Maybe you haven't heard her name before, but the male-heavy audience of HBO's "Entourage" certainly has. Though Emmanuelle has only appeared in six episodes in the past year, her presence and looks were enough to make an impact on the eight million voters.

When Reuters talked to AskMen.com's editor-in-chief James Bassil, he told them the combination of Emmanuelle being the sweet, perfect girlfriend on screen and not a big media presence off screen helped her win this year, whereas last year she was ranked 12.

Hopefully, you've already checked out our list of the top 10 best dressed ladies from the 2010 “Golden Globes” (if you haven't, what are you waiting for?!). Anyways, it was hard to pick out 10 favorites from the “Globes,” but as usual it was easy, perhaps too easy, to pick out the night's worsts. We take no pleasure in doing this (ok, maybe we take a little pleasure in it), but it has to be done. So, without further delay, because let's face it, this is the list you've really been waiting for, here are the top 10 worst dressed actresses of the 2010 “Golden Globes.”

Let us first start with one deep and thought provoking question –Cher, what were you thinking?! We really don't know what to make of her long-sleeved black ensemble, which appears to be half-blazer, half-ball gown, and is oddly open at the front. We get that she's got this whole rock star thing going on, we really do, but this is so not the way to go about it. By the way, not to bring Christina Aguilera into this, but watching her present next to Cher made us think they could totally have their own good witch/bad witch show.

We thought we were in love with the romantic comedy "(500) Days of Summer," but apparently we may be the film's second biggest fan behind a Texas man named Ricky. The smitten suitor took over an outlet mall courtyard to propose to girlfriend Stephanie by reenacting Joseph Gordon-Levitt's "(500) Days" dance sequence to "You Make My Dreams Come True"! And, of course, it was all caught on tape.

Dressed in a sweater vest/chino ensemble, Ricky walks his girlfriend through the El Paso shopping center as the Hall & Oates classic blares from an unknown source. He high fives passersby (implanted friends, no doubt), finally stopping in front of a fountain with an unfortunately positioned pole that obscures part of the performance. Oh well. Undeterred, he dances. He cracks a bat. He's lifted by a group of friends. All while his girlfriend looks on likely wondering, "What the heck?" until he grabs her hand and gets down on one knee. And if the suspense is killing you, yes, she said yes.

Now that Katy Perry and Russell Brand are officially planning to get hitched, we can all officially start to act as pseudo wedding planners. So, first on our to-do list for their nuptials (no date has been announced, but seeing as how they got engaged so quickly, we're imagining a spring wedding) is to come up with some kind of show-stopping number for the couple to participate in during their reception. After all, she's the pop tart who once entered the Grammy stage via a banana and he's the actor who speaks unabashedly in public about politics and the Jonas Brothers' virginity.

After visiting the MTV vault to come up with ideas for stunts for the couple, we kept turning our attention back to the video of Katy taking a nose dive into a bubblegum pink cake while performing "I Kissed A Girl" at Los Premios (the Latin America version of MTV's Video Music Awards) in October 2008. It was a delicious moment (pun, intended) because after flopping direcetly into the cake with a sly smile on her face, she struggles to stand up amid icing covering the floor. We definitely see this as an option for Katy and Russell's wedding day — wedding cake is so much more fun when you get to play with it.
