Here, on this lovely Tuesday, we have a video sneak peek of Hey Monday's new video "I Don't Wanna Dance." It's the first single off the group's new EP, Beneath It All, which is due out August 17.

In this briefest of brief glimpses into the video, we see singer Cassadee Pope lead her band through a raucous performance of "I Don't Wanna Dance," while some first-person perspective shows off some unlucky dudes getting drinks poured on their heads.

Hey Monday may draw some comparisons to Paramore, what with its spunky frontwoman leading a band of cool-looking guys in black through some up-tempo moves. But where Paramore definitely owes a lot of its sound to emo and punk, Hey Monday strikes out on its own with a more pure-pop sound, especially on this track.

Check out the video sneak peek below. The full length video for "I Don't Wanna Dance" premieres on Thursday, July 29, on MTV.

Russell Brand is currently in New York City remaking the classic Dudley Moore comedy Arthur. The paparazzi has been hounding the set of the film, which also stars Helen Mirren and Nick Nolte. Why?

Because of images like the one above.

If you saw a dude with his hair in a top-bun, rocking an old school Rolling Stones T-shirt, SHORT shorts and white gym socks pulled up, wouldn't you either a) cross the street or b) take his photo, print it out to wallet size and write, "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG," on it?

The insane thing is that this dude, the dude in the short shorts, dirty T-shirt and top-bun (yeah, it's for a role, I know), is going to marry ...

Unreal. I mean, I know Russ is a charming conversationalist, but, Katy! That dude looks like a dude you avoid on the bus!

Check out Katy's "California Gurls," video below. Arthur is due out next year.

Florence + The Machine, the recording project of the beguiling Brit artist Florence Welch, has been a Buzzworthy favorite since way back in the heady days of 2008. So we're positively giddy that she's this week's MTV PUSH Artist of the Week.

Evoking the ethereal, enigmatic power of PJ Harvey and Tori Amos, plus pipes easily mistakable for Beth Ditto, Florence + the Machine are still riding high off of their incredibly assured (and aptly titled) debut album, Lungs, while racking up music nominations and awards and spots on it-tours. And if you stopped in your tracks after hearing their ghostly sound on the Eclipse soundtrack, then you probably already know that that was Florence + The Machine's haunting "Heavy In Your Arms."

See how Florence quickly came up with the name Florence + The Machine.

There are a couple of things worth pointing out about this photo of John Mayer performing live this morning on the "Today" show. Let's go over them.

1. John Mayer's "O" face. I mean ...

2. John Mayer's pants. Is that AARP for J. Crew?

3. John Mayer's bass player. Maybe he designed the pants too?

4. John Mayer's sax player. a) He looks like Eric from "True Blood," b) John Mayer has a sax player!

5. Both of those dudes have looks on their faces that seem to express a real bewilderment as to how they arrived at the point in their lives where they were sharing the stage with a guy ripping off guitar solos while he looks like he just stumbled out of a shuffleboard tournament.

All that being said? Never change, John Mayer. Never change.

Remember way back to earlier this month when Prince, um, called off the internet? Well we came up with a few things we hoped might take the place of the internet once the whole "online fad" blows over. But so did comedian (and former host of the MTV show "Loveline"!) Adam Carolla, who's busy this summer with the Klondike Everyman Challenge and, of course, his unstoppable podcast, "The Adam Carolla Show." Adam's a lot funnier than we are, so check out his picks for conceivable replacements for the internet. OK. Here we go!

1.) A new game called "Put Prince In A Water Balloon Launcher And Fire Him At The Sun."
2.) "The Aqua Net" -- we'll fill a garbage bag with hair spray and huff it until we forget about the internet.
3.) Two words ... Curl-Ling.
4.) We invent a new video game called "How long does it take Prince to get inside a onesie."

That brightly lit vision above is none other than former child of destiny and current dance-floor commander, Kelly Rowland. We've been charting her evolution pretty closely over the last few months, as Rowland has emerged out of the R&B shadows and become something of a dancing queen.

We've been enamored with Kelly's recent collaborations with super producer David Guetta, which have led to the smashes "When Love Takes Over" and "Commander." While we anxiously wait for her new solo to drop, we'll have to tide ourselves over with these amazing photos.

Check out more photos below.

Now that Justin Bieber is extending his empire into the realm of television, with his imminent appearance on "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," we thought it would be a good idea to start brainstorming some future TV projects. We're not big-time Hollywood agents, but after reading the below list, we're thinking maybe we should be.

+ The Office: With Steve Carell's likely departure from the long-running comedy, Dunder Mifflin might be looking for a new boss. What about Biebs? He could be a child prodigy of sales and management. Sort of like Doogie Howser, but instead of being a doctor, he slings paper and printers.

+ Hoarders: We'd love to see Justin Bieber confront a fan who hoards ... Bieber memorabilia.

+ JONAS L.A.: This actually might cause a dent in the matrix or a rip in the space-time continuum. Either way, the shrieks of JB and JB fans might cause a national hearing loss epidemic.

+ Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: What if when they "move that bus," there wasn't an amazing new house that answered the prayers of two beleaguered parents, but rather, Justin Bieber! Answering the prayers of the hysterical daughters. That would be heartwarming!

+ Two And A Half Men: OK, so Justin could play a long-lost brother to the show's "half" man, Jake. There could be a shockingly dark story line about how Justin was usurping Jake in the heart's of Charlie and Alan. This would end in a fight to the death, naturally.

Which show do you want to see Justin Bieber on next?

Earlier this month, We The Kings revealed their new tattoos. Last week, Travis Clark blogged about a mom who hit on him on Warped Tour. (It happens.)

I'm back for another Warped Tour update! Lately a ton of movies have been coming out, so I took it upon me to go on a "man date" with one of my best friends, Josh Franceschi from You Me At Six -- haha. We went and saw "Despicable Me" in 3D!!!!! It was one of the better movies I've seen in awhile. I absolutely love it. The movie made me want to go adopt a thousand kids.

Yesterday afternoon, you might have noticed that Twitter started convulsing, people started breathlessly tweeting, "OMG!" and Katy Perry's name went climbing up the trending topics chart. That's because her new single, "Teenage Dream," the title track from her new album, hit the internet. And once again we were left powerless, singing along after the second listen and well into the 15th play.

"Teenage Dream" isn't dissimilar to "California Gurls," and I've even read a couple of people compare it's delicate opening and dazzling chorus to Phoenix's "Lisztomania." But with its chiming guitars, glorious bridge and ever expanding ecstatic feel, it has all the hallmarks of another Dr. Luke and Max Martin classic: Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone."

But where Kelly's anthem was about getting rid of a suffocating love, Katy's "Teenage Dream" is to disappear into the arms of her lover, for eternity: "We can dance until we die/You and I/We'll be young forever."

Honestly, kids: Resistance is futile. This thing will rule the second half of your summer. Check it out below. And as a bonus, check out Phoenix's "Lizstomania" and Kelly's "Since U Been Gone" videos, both below.
