As the inventor of sex, Trey Songz has been keeping the neighbors wide awake at night and well aware of his name with his signature panty droppin', boot-knockin' bedroom jams. And on Monday, April 26, we'll be premiering Trey Songz's "MTV Unplugged" performance, complete with his all-new take on "I Invented Sex," "Say Aah," a cover of Kings Of Leon's "Use Somebody" and some classic soul songs that Trey gently caresses with that that sensuous Songz touch.

+ Check out exclusive photos from Trey Songz "MTV Unplugged" performance and stay tuned for more exclusives from his "MTV Unplugged" performance.

Cage the Elephant makes stomping, punk blues rock that reflects its disaffected youth and Bowling Green, Kentucky, roots. So it only makes sense that the group would be bigger in England than the States, right? Wait, wha?!

Yeah, this Kentucky power trio, which makes rock jams for the skaters, the geeks and the kids on the margins, is actually bigger across the pond than on these shores; a fact they discuss on this episode of "The 5." Their Brit popularity stems from some time they spent over in London, near an area called "Murder Mile."

Members of Cage the Elephant also discuss stuff like crunchy vs. smooth peanut butter, say "true story" many times and discuss the recording of their second album, the follow-up to their 2009 self-titled debut.

Check out the interview, as well as Cage the Elephant's "In One Ear" video below.

Those flavor inventors at Ben & Jerry's never cease to amaze us. In what appears to be the best summer treat mashup since Stephen Colbert's AmeriCone Dream, the Vermont-based ice-cream titan just introduced its latest flavor, Bonnaroo Buzz, which features a combination of light coffee and malt ice creams with whiskey caramel swirls and English toffee pieces.

Not only is the chilly treat named after the annual three-day music festival in Manchester, Tennessee, but Bonnaroo will also donate its share of the proceeds to the Bonnaroo Works Fund, which invests in community-wide philanthropic endeavors. So, it's a treat on so many levels.

In addition to getting my stomach growling, Bonnaroo Buzz also got me thinking about other music-themed food products that I could put together in one delicious meal. After the kind of arduous search that would make Anthony Bourdain proud, here are the best music-themed food products.

Rap Snacks: Nope, you're not dreaming. Those are really potato-chip bags with Lil' Romeo (aka "Bar-B-Quin With My Honey" flavor) and Master P (aka "Platinum Bar-B-Que" flavor) on 'em. If you're lucky enough to find these at your local 7-11, grab as many as you can! Along with Cher and cockroaches, I have a feeling that Rap Snacks will outlive us all.

We just love Kate Nash's style: It's a little bit retro, a little bit contemporary and a whole lot unique. However, when the "Foundations" singer stopped by MTV HQ recently, we couldn't let her go without asking her about the style trends she hoped would die a painful death.

Gladiator sandals? Oversize sunglasses? Jeggings?

Her answer might surprise you!

Check out the video below to see which fashion trend Kate Nash hates, get Kate's take on '60s girl groups, and watch more new Kate Nash interviews. And don't forget to pick up her newest album, "My Best Friend Is You," which is out now.

Here we have another LOL-inspiring video from the very funny mind of The Ready Set's Jordan Witzigreuter. Last time we saw Jordan Witzigreuter and Decaydance label boss Pete Wentz discuss the keys to music biz success: skinny jeans and Bieberisms. (Watch it again below.) But in this new video, we see an entirely new, rebranded Witzigreuter.

The video is an incredible satire on some of Nike's incredibly pretentious (and often awesome) ads for Air Jordan sneakers. In the originals, we usually see someone like LeBron James reciting some speech about history and legend and some other stuff that sounds like it was ripped from the screenplay of "Braveheart" or "Gladiator."

But our boyeee Witzigreuter flips that script, rocking chem lab goggles and black low-top sneakers, solemnly talking about his failures. It's ultimately about, "a man that is full of dreams ... but bad at sports."

Check out another great Ready Set video below.

Travie McCoy, the frontman for Gym Class Heroes and now solo artist, is a busy dude. He's readying his new album, Lazarus, for a June 8 release; he's got an underground single with Ke$ha ("Want U Bad") and a real one, "Billionaire" with Bruno Mars, pinging around the solar system. Plus, he's preparing to head out on his Too Fast For Love tour with Cobra Starship and 3Oh!3.

So with all that in mind we thought it would be best to sit down with Travie and have him give us the lay of what's going on in Travieland, as it were. In the below interview clips you'll hear all about the sound of Lazarus and meaning behind the album title. But most importantly, McCoy discusses his infatuation with the '80s pop-soul duo, Hall & Oates.

Dude really likes Hall & Oates. Like, he has the Private Eyes album cover tattooed on his hands. That's dedication.

Check out our brand-new interviews with Travie McCoy below. And get tickets to the Too Fast For Love tour. Select dates from this tour will also be mtvU Movies and Music Festival dates leading up to the big show airing June 6 at 9/8c on MTV.

The music of The XX is so simple and so beautiful -- minimal guitar lines, basic drum-machine patterns, boy-girl vocals -- that it's often hard to imagine what visuals would go well with it. But this new video for the song "Islands" (taken from the group's brilliant 2009 debut album, "xx") trumps anything we could have ever imagined.

Directed by the very talented Saam, the video is composed of a series of tracking shots. We see the trio, listlessly sitting, as dancers engage in the same, choreographed routine, over and over again. But with each run-through, there seems to be a slight change, a small difference in gesture or movement, that suggests unrest under the surface -- much like the band's pristine, subtly menacing sound.

Check out the "Islands" video below. "xx" is out now.

+ Had it not been for his initial YouTube stardom leading him to a record deal, we might have been watching Justin Bieber on "American Idol" this season. (MTV News)

+ Lady Gaga and one of her favorite designers, Terence Koh (designer of her "pearls" ensemble), collaborated again, this time on a benefit concert in Tokyo. (Idolator)

+ Despite rumors, Pink isn't pregnant. But that doesn't mean she can't still joke about the gossip, tweeting, "Off to the gym ... Lord knows when this 600-pound baby comes out that I've been growing for 8 years, I better be strong and physically prepared!!!" (PopEater)

+ Adam Lambert has announced the dates for his Glam Nation Tour. (Just Jared)

+ Totally bizarre and awesome if true: Action star Jason Statham and "Hills" vixen Kristen Cavallari were reportedly cautioned by police for joyriding in a golf cart together. (I'm Not Obsessed)

The above photo of Nick and Joe Jonas, rolling deep in a classic black Mustang, was sadly not taken right after the two brothers busted up an illegal bookmaking ring. Nor was it taken on the set of some insane Jonas Brothers remake of "Smokey And The Bandit." And, to my great chagrin, it wasn't snapped directly following the dastardly Jonas Brothers boosting another car, just for kicks; because grand theft auto gives them a thrill a million screaming fans can no longer provide.

No, in typical angel-faced Jonas Brothers fashion, the above pic was snapped after the Nick and Joe finished a quiet post-church meal. Oh well. Anyway, nice wheels, Nick!

To counter-balance all the dark things I just said about the Bros., check out the below MTV News video, wherein Joe Jonas does an impression of Kevin's dog.

Last week we went cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs over "Drunk Girls," the first single from LCD Soundsystem's third album, "This Is Happening." Now we have the video for said song and, man, are we happy.

The video for "Drunk Girls" does not actually feature any drunk girls, per se. Unless they are among the people dressed up as rather aggro pandas. Yes ... pandas. These dudes (or possibly gals) dressed as bears impatiently push microphones in front of the very faces of LCD as they sing the not-as-simple-as-you-think lyrics to the dance-punk tune.

Things continue to get more intense and, frankly, abusive as the action goes from producing a smirk on your face to raising an eyebrow.

Check out the video for "Drunk Girls" below. "This Is Happening" is out May 17.
