"Watagatapitusberry." Huh? "Watagatapitusberry." Say that again. "Watagatapitusberry." Me confused. "Watagatapitusberry."

Oh, now I get it! "Watagatapitusberry." That's the new Pitbull joint, right?

Pitbull may've just released Rebelution in September 2009, but he's already setting his sights on a new album—and, this time, it's going to be all in Spanish. Ay papi! Armando, the Miami rapper's first Spanish-speaking album, is slated for release this May. However, in order to tide fans over, Pitbull is debuting the video for the album's first single, "Watagatapitusberry," next Monday, March 1st on MTV Tr3s.

So, what exactly does "Watagatapitusberry" mean? Pitbull's not telling—yet.

To see Pitbull explain 'Watagatapitusberry,' watch the video below and don't forget to tune into MTV Tr3s on March 1st to see the song's video premiere.

It's been a while since we heard from The Maine. They haven't called, bought us flowers or taken us dancing in a really long time.

However, just when we were about to delete them from our buddy list, we learned that the Arizona-based band has been busy partnering with IC Bus for the second-annual America's Greenest Schools contest, which is hunting to find the most environmentally conscious school in the country.

The winning school will get a hybrid-powered bus, a green makeover and a scholarship. Plus, they'll also get a free concert from The Maine. (Cue screaming teenage girls!)

For contest details, check out America's Greenest Schools' site. In the meantime, enjoy a return trip to The Maine's "Into Your Arms" clip.

Paramore's Hayley Williams has become quite the fashionista. Sure, she might not be taking the same risks as Lady Gaga, but her style is equally as unique—yet totally accessible and affordable. Finally! A fashion icon for girls on a budget!

We recently spotted (pun intended) Paramore performing at the Soundwave Festival in Sydney, Australia, and couldn't help but fawn all over Ms. Williams' ferosh leopard pants. Wonder where she picked up such a pair? We can't be exactly sure we came up with a couple animal-obsessed possibilities:

FIERCE: True Religion Stella Leopard Velveteen Jeans - If these jeans solidify your title as Queen Of The Fashion Jungle, then I don't know what will. Dress them up with heels or, if you're like Hayley, a sturdy pair of Vans or Converse. Either way, they totally RAWR-K! (Zappos.com, $163.30)

FRUGAL: Forever 21 Studded Leopard Skinny Pant - If you don't have a ton of money to burn, then these jeans are purrrrrrrrrrrrrrfect. Not only do they have metal-stud embellishments, but they're made of a cotton/spandex blend twill, which means the waistband will be totally forgiving if you decide to indulge in an In-N-Out hamburger, animal-style. (Forever 21, $22.80)

Justin Bieber, known around these parts as the "luckiest boy in the world," has recently been tweeting up a storm about his birthday, being in Paris, the tracklisting for his forthcoming My World 2.0 album and other events going on in his world.

When he mentioned the other day that his new single would be called "Never Let You Go" and it would hit iTunes next week, we thought that the song title sounded awfully familiar. Turns out Bieber performed "Never Let Me Go" on MTV's VMA Tour last fall.

With a melody not unlike Chris Brown's "Forever," "Never Let Me Go" is filled with Bieber's signature soft-pop combined with layers of hip-hop and R&B. On stage, the little dude really holds his own, performing the song completely solo and keeping the crowd in the palm of his hand the entire time.

Check out the live performance of "Never Let Me Go" from MTV's VMA tour. "Never Let Me Go" hits iTunes on Tuesday, March 2nd. My World 2.0 is out March 23rd.

In the last couple years, Poison singer Bret Michaels has become best-known for kicking back and watching the magic happen on VH1's Rock Of Love. (And by "magic," I mean "women cat-fighting and out-humiliating one another for the chance to see what's under Bret's cowboy hat.") However, fans of his '80s hair-metal music will be stoked to hear he's taken a break from the small screen to return to the recording studio.

As I listened to Michaels' new single, "Nothing To Lose," I started to recognize the female voice in the background of the song's chorus. It's little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll and a combination of youthful exuberance mixed with weathered old-soul. In other words, I hear Miley Cyrus!

Apparently, "Nothing To Lose," spotted via JustJared, is the product of a recent studio session between Michaels and Cyrus. According to the Hannah Montana star, she thought it was a "rad collaboration." (Awww, sounds like she's just bein' Miley.)

Not to sound condescending, but the song isn't that bad. It's actually got an "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" feel to it. Hell, at least the duo had the foresight to make this a power ballad. I don't think the world could handle a "Talk Dirty To Me"-style rocker with Miley involved.

For fear of Big John opening a can of whoop-ass on our blogging tushes for embedding a non-official video, we thought it would be better to direct you a link for the song—and, instead, celebrate Michaels' Poison greatness with the clip for "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" below.

Ever wondered what your web site would sound like if it were translated into music? Me neither... But now that I've discovered CodeOrgan, which does exactly that, I can't stop typing in URLs to hear what kind of tunage erupts from the html. Beyonce's site sounds like a disco-tastic church procession, CNN's homepage translates into a tribal piano concerto, and Kanye West's site is so frenetic, CodeOrgan can't even process his URL. (Natch!)

Plus, you can send the results directly to your Twitter and Facebook feeds. For example, when I typed in the URL for MTV Buzzworthy, the site posted the following odd-bird tweet to my Twitter:

If this page took a shower, this is what it would sing: http://www.codeorgan.com/?url=buzzworthy.mtv.com #codeorgan

This might be the most bizarre site ever, but I kind of love it. What about you? When you enter in your favorite URL, what does it sound like?

+ Want to know what drives Lady Gaga and fuels her tireless work ethic? Curious why this innovative woman is on a fearless mission to take a over a world? The Cosmopolitan cover girl tells the magazine that part of her initial drive was to seek revenge on an old flame, saying during their break-up, "'Someday, when we're not together, you won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f***ing deli without hearing or seeing me.'" Mission accomplished. (PopEater)

+ Rihanna's song "Rude Boy" received something of a mixed reception from fans, bloggers and culture vultures. On one hand, the song was dope, Rihanna looked great and the video matched the tune's feel. On the other hand, it looked a lot like M.I.A.'s "Boyz" clip. Now director Melina Matsoukas is responding to the criticism, claiming, "It definitely wasn't trying to rip anybody off." (MTV News)

+ Lily Allen will take a brief hiatus from her indefinite hiatus to play London's Wireless Festival this summer. What prompted this U-turn from Allen, who had announced her retirement from actively recording and touring earlier this month? Some guy named Jay-Z requested that she play. When duty calls... (Spinner)

+ File under mental images we'd rather not contemplate: Courtney Love recently went buckwild on Twitter, asking her followers if they ever think about having rage-fueled nookie with John Mayer—except she didn't quite put it that way. Love went on to imagine, "totally throwing him around the room in bits and then you just BAM punch him in the face? good times [sic]" Great times! (Idolator)

+ We're all about playing matchmaker and we've got our sights set on Ke$ha and English funnyman Ricky Gervais. Whaddya think, Ke$ha? "That fat guy who's in The Office? I'd hit that." Torn from the pages of a Jane Austen novel, she is. (E! Online)

+ Recording news! One of the greatest female rappers in the game, Eve, is back in the studio. That's exciting on its own, but the fact that she's in there with Canadian electro producers MSTRKRFT makes it all the more electrifying. (Rap Radar)

One EskimO and us go way back. We're old pals. We've been out on the road with them and even chatted with them about Star Wars and zoo animals. In other words, we're practically besties.

That said, it brings us great pleasure to bring you the new video from the London-based, acoustic-rock quartet; albeit a new video for a familiar song. An initial video for this soulful ballad saw the band—who've been favorably compared to Dave Matthews Band and Coldplay—performing the song with various images projected on to them.

This new video, which is part of a series of animated bonus cartoons called "The Adventures Of One EskimO" that comes with the deluxe re-release of their self-titled debut album, follows the adventures of a lone eskimo. (It's a stretch, right?)

Have a look-see at both the animated version of "Kandi" and the O.G.-version, below.

Dissected magazine cover courtesy of Q Magazine

Seeing that Lady Gaga collected two scandalous magazine covers this month, we asked you earlier this week to tell us which one was more Gagalicious—Q or Cosmopolitan. Had we but known, we would've asked you which one was more likely to get banned.

The results are in on that question and the answer is Q. According to the magazine's web site, the cover has been banned by "certain U.S. chains" because Gaga is showing the lower portion of her left boob, which is apparently a big no-no. In addition, New York state law also prohibits showing any area of the breast below the nipple, which could sacrifice the magazine's additional distribution in NYC, as well.

Gagaloo has yet to comment on the cover being banned, but in a statement published on QTheMagazine.com, the magazine's editors "can't help wonder what Lady Gaga herself would make of this turn of events, given her prophetic quote, standing at the start of the Q photo shoot with a dildo in her hand, 'It'd be a real f**king story, right'..."

What do you think? Did Gaga go too far on the cover of Q Magazine? Plus, why is no one saying anything about the black dildo camouflaged against her pants?!?

The official on-air premiere of MTV's newest original movie Turn The Beat Around happens tomorrow Friday, Feb. 26 at 10 PM EST, and I couldn't be more excited. In order to prepare for the film's debut, I've been stretching my jazz hands, breaking in my Capezio Sofia heels and busting out my old Grind Workout: Hip-Hop Aerobics VHS to reconnect with my Club MTV roots. Wubba wubba!

What I'm most excited about, though, is watching "Whatcha Say" singer Jason Derülo show off his acting skills.

In the film, Derülo plays—wait for it—a pop singer who is searching for dancers to appear in an upcoming music video. MTV news recently sat down with Derülo about his acting debut and former Lady Gaga opener revealed that this might be the first of many acting roles to come. "This is my foray into acting and I'm really excited 'cause I've been acting my entire life. So I mean, I definitely want people to get to know that side of me because I feel like my acting will take precedent at some point. My music is obviously the forefront right now, but I'm as much an actor as I am a singer."

Check out the video below to see what else Derülo had to about his acting aspirations and watch the trailer for Turn The Beat Around here.

+ Don't forget to catch the premiere of Turn The Beat Around Friday, Feb. 26 at 10 PM EST.
