We've spent this week exploring every last aspect of Tokio Hotel, the German-born band who have taken over the world with their hook-heavy albums and unique sense of style. Just this week, we've learned that the band has crazy fans, had difficulty putting together Humanoid, they've got famous dogs and frontman Bill Kaulitz wouldn't mind acting next to Robert Pattinson.

The group also has a lot of hidden talents (though "Big Buck Safari" isn't one of them — in the first edition of Multiplayer editor Russ Frushtick's celebrity challenge, the band didn't finish). It turns out they're pretty excellent ping-pong players (they spent some time challenging each other while they were backstage before their visit to Monday's episode of "It's On with Alexa Chung"). And as the video from their sit-down with Buzzworthy shows, they are excellent at fighting off robots (which makes sense, considering their latest album appears to address the inevitable cyborg-infested future).

It's reassuring that the band members don't allow any cameras in their bedrooms, as they're certainly famous enough without it.

Be sure to check out the rest of the week's coverage of Tokio Hotel, including the Extended Play video interview that reveals details about their album, their fashion and their aspirations for world domination. Be sure to also check out the evolution of the band in photos and stay tuned to Buzzworthy for the inside scoop on Tokio Hotel and the rest of the breaking bands you need to know about.

Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

50 Cent took some time out of his preparation for the release of his new album Before I Self Destruct (which hits stores on November 23) to fly across the pond to promote a new movie. 50 stars in "Dead Man Running," a British gangster picture that hits cinemas next week. The man born Curtis Jackson plays Thigo, a mob boss who gives an associate 24 hours to repay him the 100,000 pounds in cash he is owed, and the film follows the breathless search to scare up the money before 50's character can strike. 50 hit London for the premiere and was spotted at the Mayfair Hotel, a top-shelf luxury spot in England's capital. But he's not going to let his intercontinental travel get in the way of the march for Before I Self Destruct: According to his official Web site, the video for his new song "Crime Wave" will premiere tonight on the page.

Mr. Jackson wasn't the only star on the street yesterday. The boys from Tokio Hotel paid a visit to a Best Buy store in New York, while Ciara enjoyed a meal at the Phillipe Chow restaurant in Beverly Hills, California. Click here for these photos as well as the entire "Spotted!" archive, which includes over 300 candid shots of Madonna, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga, Kanye West, the Jonas Brothers and Mariah Carey!

"It would be the perfect role for me. That's kind of my dream thing to play a vampire. I always loved vampire movies, but I never had the right script. ... I had a lot of offers from different movies, but they weren't the right things. I think [a 'Twilight' film] would be the perfect movie. I don't know if I'm talented in those things, though. I never tried it. We were in one movie when we were 6 years old, and it was not really good. Robert Pattinson is definitely a better actor than me."

-Tokio Hotel frontman Bill Kaulitz, discussing his cinematic aspirations. The singer told MTV News that he has often thought about exploring his undead, blood-sucking side. "I was at a Halloween party when I was really young, and I was a vampire," he said. "And then I started to wear makeup and stuff. That was the whole beginning. That was the whole story." The band is currently supporting their new album Humanoid, which features the hit single and video "Automatic."

Check out "The Evolution of Tokio Hotel"!

There's something very likeable about the boys from Tokio Hotel. They may be siblings and share the same screaming girl demographic as the JoBros, but the similarities stop there.

With no disrespect to Gustav or George (who sit quietly in the back row chiming in once in a while), most of the attention is commanded by the two brothers sitting up front, Bill and Tom Kaulitz. After all, they are the Noel and Liam of the group.

After talking about their latest offering Humanoid — which features a bigger, bolder and more electronic sound — we talked on the importance they place on being in control of their own image, music and lives.

In Bill's case, you might think he has the perfect frontman image for a pop-punk band that was cleverly devised by a room full of record label executives. But it was interesting to hear that the now-famous trademark spiky hair, eye make-up, leather jackets and chains are all his own creation. Since the beginning of their deal, Bill has turned down his label's offers to hire him a stylist. Instead, he prefers to stick to his guns and design, cut-up, make outfits and dress himself. A fan of fashion, Bill has aspirations to have his own line of clothing one day.

And then there's Tom. He too has a trademark look, and while Bill talks about hoping to one day meet his soul mate and fall in love, Tom is ... let's just say a little different, preferring to fall in love with a different girl each night.

It wasn't all groupie talk. We spoke about the sci-fi image around their new album and where it came from. We talked about what it was like being in one of the most popular bands around right now. While so many actors and artists complain about the fame, these guys love it, with Tom openly admitting that he wants more. But what choice do they have? The hopes of a normal life are well and truly out the window. There aren't many places in the world that they can go without getting mobbed by their fans. So when I asked them what was the last "normal" thing they did, I was a little surprised when Bill said it was when they rented out an entire theme park for a day. If that's a normal day with Tokio Hotel, I'd love to see what they do on a special day.

We look forward to seeing big things from Tokio Hotel in the future!

It's Tokio Hotel week at MTV News, which means that everywhere you look there will be four glammed-out Germans and their groovy new album Humanoid. You should check out the MTV News Extended Play on the band, which will be updated daily with more tidbits from our exclusive video interview. And be sure to stay tuned to Newsroom for all the behind-the-scenes news from Tim Kash's time with the band. Humanoid represents the next step in the band's development, as they've taken the format that made them infamous (heartfelt lyrics matched with sleek riffs and anthemic choruses) and added bits of electronic music, dance beats and a bit of orchestration. It's a huge, widescreen album that perfectly matches the band's attitude.

Even though Humanoid is only the band's second English album, it's actually their fourth overall, and throughout their near-decade together, their appearance has evolved profoundly from album to album. Frontman Bill Kaulitz started out onstage with a sleek, almost aggro look (in this photo, you could probably convince somebody that he was actually Adam Lambert). Along the way, they've added futuristic fashions and a lot more hair (though Tom Kaulitz's signature dreadlocks have changed very little in the past eight years). Click here for more photos that detail the evolution of Tokio Hotel, from their beginnings as a Germany-only phenomenon to their breakout with Scream to the worldwide sensation that is Humanoid.

The chill in the air is enough to convince us that fall is actually here. So rather than hitting the backyard barbecue, it's time for leaf peeping, pumpkin carving and watching college football. But before you wrap up the last of your work for the week and hit the nearest hay ride, be sure to check out everything you might have missed this week on the MTV Newsroom blog, from the deep dirt on Lady Gaga to some pre-emptively rejected Kris Allen album titles.

» Before Lady Gaga was a fashion-forward hit machine, she was just a New York University student desperately trying to eat a salad without hurting anybody.

» Backstreet Boy Brian Littrell forced the group to bow out of a bunch of promotional dates because he caught swine flu, but that didn't stop us from celbrating the release of the group's new album This Is Us.

» On "Dancing with the Stars," Debi Mazar and Tom DeLay both did the loser shuffle. Meanwhile, Chuck Liddell is gaining some serious skills, but the competition is still Mya's to lose.

» Kris Allen's debut album doesn't have a title yet, and MTV News' Jim Cantiello wants him to know what not to do.

» In other correspondent news, James Montgomery wrote some lovely things about Pink — so lovely, in fact, that she tweeted her gratitude.

"I have more sex in my voice. Actually, the decision [for Bill to be the lead singer] was because of the securities. The securities asked us for it, because if I sing, there would be an escalation at each show. To calm things down, we went with Bill."

-Tokio Hotel guitarist Tom Kaulitz, discussing the fundamental differences between his voice and that of his brother's, singer Bill Kaulitz. Though he cheekily brags about his own vocal prowess, Tom acknowledges that his brother has an extremely difficult job — and Bill completely agrees. "They have to do this super complicated thing: change the session ... from German to English," Bill explained. "Yes, constant switches. I believe no other singer has to remember so many different lyrics like I do. It's only the third album, and I already have 10,000 songs." Tokio Hotel's new album Humanoid hits stores next Tuesday, October 6. The video for "Automatic" has already built a significant buzz for the band,

Watch out, MTV Germany! I'm not sure if you have MTV News Correspondents there, but as you can see in the Tokio Hotel segment below, I am fully capable of reporting the news in your language! (Sort of.)

Okay, I'll come clean. I don't know how to speak German at all. (Big shocker there, I'm sure.) Before today, the only German word I've ever even pronounced was "Volkswagen." So when MTV News producer Saimon Kos asked me to do a Tokio Hotel stand-up in the band's native tongue, you could imagine I was feeling a little verklempt. (Oh wait, that's Yiddish? I just can't win with these Germanic languages.)

As you can see from the approximately 462 edits, I was a lost cause. We had to shoot the segment in chunks, with Saimon (who spent the first 10 years of his life in Germany) feeding me pronunciations right before we taped. I felt a lot like Paula Abdul on "American Idol." I wasn't sure if what I was saying made sense, I was more concerned about my fashion accessories and my mouth felt all sorts of weird.

Wait, does this mean a lesbian comedian is going to replace me next week? Meet your new MTV News Correspondent: Wanda Sykes!
