NEW YORK - At 7:30 p.m. on New Year's Eve, hundreds of thousands of revelers had already begun packing into Times Square, chanting and posing for photos (many would also later don questionable hats). And though it was still early, it was just as hectic high above it all in the MTV studios: a frantic mix of cables, cameras and controlled catastrophes.

It was the final rehearsal for MTV's "Iced Out New Year's Eve," and lights had to be arranged, lines rehearsed and the set decorated. The celebrities were all safely in their dressing rooms, tables and tables of sushi had been arranged, and the MTV crew — all decked out in matching white jumpsuits — was running through final preparations for the live show. With so many celebs in the house, so many live performances scheduled and so many people watching around the world, everything had to go according to plan.

And they pulled it off. The show was a near-flawless good time. And while the weather outside might've been frightful in most of the country (except New York, where it was a balmy 50 degrees), the temperature inside the studio was red-hot. Here's a behind-the-scenes look at the "Iced Out New Year's Eve" celebration you didn't see.

Lindsay Lohan kicked things off with a live performance from Times Square, and she looked cool and calm doing it. But before cameras rolled, everything was up in the air. As she stood backstage, a trio of stylists added last-minute dabs of makeup and a string of diamonds around her neck. And then there were dress issues.

"This dress is falling off," Lohan stressed to her assistant. "That's all I need, for Us Weekly to see me like this!"

Team Lohan managed to apply a few strategic safety pins before she was whisked to the "TRL" green room, which was serving as a makeshift press-tent. As flashbulbs popped, Lohan was bombarded with questions ranging from the serious (what she thought of the tsunami tragedy in Southeast Asia) to the, um, frivolous (what her favorite fashion trend of 2004 was). Meanwhile, as the paparazzi cornered Lohan, Ryan Cabrera ambled by. Upon spying him, many of the photographers began snapping away.

"Oh man, I'm not even dressed yet!" Cabrera laughed, and ducked into his dressing room.

But he couldn't hide for long. His drummer tried several times to force his way into the dressing room, pounding on the door loudly and yelling, "Ryan, are you naked?!?"

"Come on, man!" Cabrera yelled back. "Do you want to see me naked or something?"

"Yeah," his drummer hollered. "Everybody out here does!"

While the press waited with bated breath to see if Cabrera would emerge in the nude, Green Day's drummer Tre Cool was patrolling the green room (now devoid of Lohan). He approached the open bar and immediately became infatuated with a bucket of "Iced Out New Year's" novelty ice cubes. He asked the bartender for as many of the blinking cubes as he could carry, plunked them in his drink, and then spent the next 10 minutes showing somewhat terrified green-room occupants his now-glowing beverage.

"These things are so cool!" he yelled. "These things are Satan!"

Then he cornered "TRL"'s Damien and upon seeing his beverage, threw himself into a mock fit of rage.

"Unfair! You got two glowing ice cubes in your drink, and you didn't even have to ask!" Cool laughed.

And even though Cool and Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong were decked out in white linen suits and eyeliner, they still proved to be a pair of punk-rock hell-raisers. As they made their way to the stage, they both drew the ire of studio security: Cool for beating his drumsticks against the hallway walls, Armstrong for smoking (security first assumed the smell was "one of the smoke machines on fire.")

After Armstrong chucked the smoke, the whole band was corralled by Ashlee Simpson, who first hugged Armstrong and then made a move toward Cool.

"Stop touching me!" he fake-freaked. Then, after pausing a second: "OK, touch me again."

Simpson laughed and followed the group inside to catch its performance. As the bandmembers waited for the show to return from a commercial break, they launched into a series of punked-up covers (Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Baby Got Back" and Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It"), much to the delight of the studio audience.
