Just when we think OK Go can't get any radder, the group goes and stomps our yard with its ingenuity and awesomeness.

The treadmill-savvy quartet recently performed at the Maker Faire -- an event sponsored by Make magazine, which celebrates engineers, inventors and other bril peeps making a DIY difference in the world of science. And for their encore of "This Too Shall Pass" and "I Want You So Bad I Can't Breathe," bassist Tim Norwind, guitarist Andy Ross and drummer Dan Konopka all donned snorkeled-head fishbowls while frontman Damian Kulash dunked himself in a ... um ... you kind of have to see it for yourself.

Ta-da!

Watch OK Go's underwater performance at Maker Faire in the behind-the-scenes video below. Plus, in case one fishbowl clip isn't enough, hold your nose and check out Panic! At The Disco's "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" and Radiohead's "No Surprises," both below. Cannonball!

If I told you that Soulja Boy and Justin Bieber had teamed up for a song I bet the following would happen: First, your head would explode. Then, after months of rehabilitation and therapy, you'd think, 'Man, this Soulja-Bieber collabo is likely swagtastic."

Right? I mean Soulja Boy hops up out his bed, and turns his swag on. That's like his every day. And Bieber! Bieber had an actual swagger coach. So there's a lot of swagger going on here, right?

Wrong! Oh, it's got a dope beat that struts a little. But with the kinda emo keyboard melody and Bieber's sad-boy chorus, this song has more in common with Owl City than it does "Turn My Swag On."

Which is just fine, really. The song is pretty delightful and shows off Bieber's undeniable charm (he can make a verse about who is going to pay the bill on a date sound great). It's just that Bieber sounds so ... bummed.

Check out the track below.

+ Listen to Soulja Boy and Justin Bieber, "Rich Girl."

Välkommen tillbaka, Robyn! (We just said "Welcome back, Robyn!" in her native Swedish tongue for those who didn't take Swedish in high school.)

Fans have waited six years since Robyn's last full-length album -- 2005's self-titled album featuring hits like "With Every Heartbeat" and "Konichiwa Bitches" -- but the platinum-blonde beauty is more than making up for lost time by releasing three albums this year.

At long last, we have a look at the "Dancing On My Own" video, the first single off the first album in the Body Talk three-part series. Amid a sea of strobe lights and PDA-stricken couples, Robyn seems cautiously fed up with dancing solo. Sad. We'll dance with you, lady!

If you, too, want to dance with Robyn, then be sure to check her out when she opens for Kelis this summer. Dates for the All Hearts Tour can't be announced soon enough.

Michigan rapper Mike Posner has been on the come up recently, releasing the One Foot Out The Door mixtape to critical acclaim. Through collaborations with 3OH!3 as well as Kid Cudi, he's developed a following among the pop and hip-hop set, respectively. Now, as he prepares his debut album (due out later this year), Posner has dropped this new video for the track "Cooler Than Me."

The song -- the pulsing electro-beat, hip-hop swagger and pop smarts reminiscent of Kanye West's "Stronger" -- is about a girl who plays a little too-cool-for-school with M.P.; she rocks designer shades that hide her face and never remembers the Posner name. Bummer.

Ironically, after watching this video, it's sort of hard to imagine anyone cooler than Mike Posner. After playing a show to a fawning audience, he heads to a hotel via a secret entrance, hits up a super-posh hangout and freezes time! Only to start it again with his own music! I mean, stopping time and starting it again? How cool does this girl need him to be?

Check out the video for Mike Posner's "Cooler Than Me" below.

For last night's premiere of Russell Brand's new comedy, "Get Him To The Greek," Brand and his fiancée, Katy Perry, decided to keep it pretty casual. It's all about the movie, not the spectacle of our voracious celebrity culture.

Oh, who are we kidding? Look at these two! Brand in all-white everything (except for those gold disco boots) and Perry rocking a sequined number from Georges Chakra. Perry recently called herself and Brand "the new Brangelina." But really, these two are more destined to be a Vegas cabaret act. Cher hair, anyone?

Can't you see them, in their late middle age, doing some kind of variety show; Russell firing off jokes and then Perry exclaiming, "You remember this one? It's called "I Kissed A Girl!" I can't wait for Katy & Russell: The Vegas Years.

For those of you on Carrie Bradshaw watch, you already know that the Sex And The City 2 Soundtrack leaked this morning, which means you've probably been bopping along with Alicia Keys' "Rapture," Erykah Badu's "Window Seat" and Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors."

Unfortunately, that also means you've probably had to stomach an ungodly dose of Liza Minnelli's truly horrendous rendition of "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)." Tsk, tsk.

Don't get us wrong, Ms. Minnelli is an entertainment icon, and we would never dare to besmirch an icon -- but that was before said icon butchered our beloved Beyoncé.

After only 30 seconds, our ears are bleeding more than the staples from David Gest's last face-lift. Oof!

+ Listen to Liza Minnelli's version of "Single Ladies," -- if you dare.

And watch one of our favorite performances of "Single Ladies" -- the 2009 VMA performance -- and the classic video.

Finally, a dance movement that we can actually see ourselves participating in. Jerking looks sooo trying. "Voguing" looks ridiculous and complicated. And we could never get behind the "Superman" part of Soulja Boy's "Crank That Soulja Boy." But this new move, courtesy of L.A. youngsters Cali Swag District, seems simple enough.

Basically, it looks like a combination of Hurricane Chris' "Halle Berry" and Digital Underground's "Humpty Dance." It's simple, slow and looks fun enough.

A little about Cali Swag District: The group is obsessed with skating and BMX as much as it's into hip-hop and look fetching in gingham. Plus, the vibe is more Karmaloop than any kind of hard-core rap clique, so it stands to reason that it's bringing us what could be the latest dance craze.

Check out Cali Swag District's "Teach Me How To Dougie" video, along with "Halle Berry" and "The Humpty Dance," below.

When the new video for Diddy-Dirty Money's "Hello, Good Morning" dropped, we just couldn't take our eyes off one thing: Kalenna's bottoms. That's because, during the video's club scene, the singer sports a pair of black-and-white leggings covered in patterns and stripes galore. Sadly, her geometric legs only made a 15-second appearance before getting upstaged by helicopters, cameos by Rick Ross, T.I. and Swizz Beatz, and an extra-long feather earring worn by fellow group member Dawn Richard. BUT STILL. Funky pants shall prevail!

French label Givenchy designed the eye-popping pants, which sell for $650 a pop. And it's not the first time we've seen these. Rihanna stepped out in the same ones the other week in London. Who rocked the look better?

+ Get the look: StyleBOP.com sells the Givenchy leggings, seen below at the label's spring 2010 runway show, for $650. Snag a similar pair from American Apparel for $34.

Earlier today, we reported about Lady Gaga's latest granny-inspired gray hair, and it got us thinking about all the celebs that seem to be going prematurely gray lately -- but, like, on purpose.

Since when did sporting your grandma's old wig start being stylish? Because apparently it's cool to look like you're a card-carrying member of the AARP.

Kelis, who told us she doesn't care what people think about her style, seemingly started the trend by debuting her luxurious gray mullet back in February. And not long after that Kelly Osbourne followed suit by rocking a pink-hued Nana 'do. Not to be outdone, Gaga takes elderly chic to the next level by pairing her silvery beehive with a spot of tea.

Hope these young ladies don't spoil their appetite for the early-bird special at Denny's.
