Rise 'n' Shine: Taylor Swift & T-Pain Tell Thug Story

The country star and the rapper team up for quite the video...Lauren Conrad and Conan O'Brien teach life lessons...and more juicy links

•  You already knew about the Taylor Swift-T-Pain collaboration, but you ain't seen nothin' till you've watched T-Swizzle and T-Pizzle tell their "Thug Story." The country starlet may have swept up a pair of CMT awards last night, but she's really "so gangster you can find [her] baking cookies at night."

•  Conan O'Brien and Lauren Conrad teach us an important lesson: babies can, in fact, ricochet.

•  Blake Lively's boobs are better than Barbie's. That might be the only physical difference between the two.

•  Heidi Pratt asked, "What would Jesus do if posing for Playboy?" and didn't get a response, so Kim Kardashian came to the rescue.

•  We hate to say it, but Jason Biggs is, um, living up to his name.

•  Dear Readers: Instead of sending you to see Gene Simmons' urinal cakes, here's Penélope Cruz's mug on a mug. Oh. Oops. Love, Rise 'n' Shine

From the looks of the CMT Awards gallery, everyone looked quite lovely last night. Even Luke Wilson.
