Thank GOODNESS for Will and Jada Smith. And not just because he was legendary in Six Degrees of Separation and her biceps are a constant reminder of what ours never will be. It's because they BEGAT Willow Smith who begat whipping your hair, which begat the now-legendary parrot dancing to "Whip My Hair" video, which WON the O Music Award for Best Animal Performance. I'm partial to cats and sax-playing walruses, so I'm a little bitter, but I tip my hat to that parrot who nabbed the majority of OMA votes. He whipped that ish like a pro. I guess the internet likes parrots more than cats.

And there's MORE O Music Award news! While the internet is great for watching funny animal videos and finding photos of naked people, it's also an invaluable tool for finding new music. Which is why the O Music Awards Best Music Discovery Service category featured some of our most beloved online music apps and services. But only one music discovery service could rise to the top. And that is... Pandora, which O Music Award voters voted Best Music Discover Service. Many have tried to replicate the musical treasure trove that is Pandora, but it's kinda like Mark Zuckerberg famously said: "If you had invented Pandora, you would've invented Pandora." Well, he didn't say that. (Please don't sue me!) But the point is, there's no better music discovery service or application out there.

And rounding out the trifecta of O Music Awards is the Best Performance Series, which went to "Live From Daryl's House," proving that after the cop 'staches, power mullets and sweet synthy harmonies, the future of Hall & Oates lies in Daryl Hall's living room, and the future is now.

Watch this parrot accept the award for Best Animal Performance, watch Matt Pinfield bestow the Best Music Discovery Service Award upon Pandora founder Tim Westergren, and watch MTV TJ Gabi Gregg announce Live From Daryl's House the Best Performance Series O Music Award winner. Watch the O Music Awards live at OMusicAwards.com on Thursday, April 28, at 11 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT, and stay tuned for live updates and behind-the-scenes access on Buzzworthy, on Twitter at @MTVBuzzworthy and at Omusicawards.tumblr.com.

So we know that Beyoncé's busy making kids exercise and traveling the world with her husbo Jay-Z, but we were kind of hoping she could fit a "What To Wear To The Airport 101" class into her schedule. Homegirl is FLAW. LESS. Is it logical to show up to France's Charles de Gaulle airport (the most confusing airport ever) in red patent-leather peep-toe booties? No. But we do not look to Beyoncé for logical decisions -- we look to her for good decisions.

Seriously, even those quasi-pajama pants look amazing on Beyoncé. And remember that Goofy hat she wore at Euro Disney? On Bey, perfection. Or what about those studded leggings that are only really appropriate if you're a villain from a 1980s Nintendo game? They worked on her! I don't know how many times we've said this already, but let's just reiterate: The girl can do no wrong.

OK, maybe not NO wrong. There was that one time called "the late 1990s" when Beyoncé and Destiny's Child were just starting out. But, hey, that was decades ago. Just keep the sheer lace cardigan buried in your closet and act like it never happened, Bey.

Once upon a time, Warren G -- with the late, great Nate Dogg -- was one half of the classic '90s rap jam, "Regulators." In a sign of the times, Warren G has now been spotted in a real commercial ("real" in this case meaning "somehow not a joke") for a "nutritional supplement" meant to help dudes who have trouble, er, "working their equipment." Seriously.

It's called Affirm XL, and Warren G (who dons a crown for the occasion) is surrounded by tight-lipped beauties in bikinis who help prove that commercials for "performance" pills will always be funny, as long as that "BOIIIIIING!" sound effect is put to use. The commercial, unsurprisingly, makes very little sense, and includes Warren G spitting the following rhyme: "Affirm XL is the place to be/I want you to call that number at the count of three." Who was the poet laureate behind that one?

We do have to admit, though, that it's a pretty ballsy (LOL) move to to agree to be the spokesperson for a male enhancement supplement. A rapper admitting that he has trouble with -- wait, THIS JUST IN: "I am the original Regulator; I don’t need nothing," Warren G confirmed to future girlfriends everywhere. Welp, never mind then.

"Super Bass," the next single off of Nicki Minaj's Pink Friday, was supposed to debut tomorrow on BET's "106 & Park," but, alas, such is not the case, according a tweet by the Harajuku Barbie herself. Nevertheless, an eagle-eyed viewer (or, you know, a Nicki fan with a camera phone) uploaded footage from a preview of the video to The Internetz, and -- from the little we can see -- it's going to be dope.

From the looks of it, Nicki has a slew of other ladies dressed up just like her in pink wigs and denim short shorts, all dancing in front of enormous, bass speakers shaped like icebergs. Nicki looks fly, as always, but not quite as "rough, rough, like a dungeon dragon" as we're used to (see: "Roman's Revenge"). But when you're Nicki Minaj, you don't need to pull out all the bells and whistles to put on a good show. As long as Nicki brings her usual A-game (and a couple of awesome wigs), we'd watch her do just about anything.

Beyoncé has teamed up with first lady Michelle Obama on her "Let's Move!" initiative to help fight the rising numbers of childhood obesity in America. She rerecorded her song "Get Me Bodied" from her 2006 album B'Day for the campaign, transforming it into the kid-friendlier "Move Your Body." And now there's a video!

The "Move Your Body" video is basically a four-minute long flash mob, and we're definitely not mad about that. (Everyone loves flash mobs!) The video begins during lunch hour at what looks like a junior high cafeteria. Everything is status quo until Beyoncé (in short shorts and green knee-high socks) busts through the doors. Suddenly all the kids are on their feet, following along as Bey leads the group through all kinds of dances, getting their hearts pumping (in more ways than one).

I think it's safe to assume that if your Jazzercise instructor looked more like Beyoncé than your Aunt Dolores, we'd probably be the healthiest country in the world. For more information on the "Let's Move!" campaign, check out letsmove.gov.

Never one to shirk on incendiary visuals, Lupe Fiasco brings a hyperkinetic style to his politically minded video for "Words I Never Said," the second single off his recently released album Lasers. Black militaristic combat boots and a black hoodie set the scene as we find Lupe in the midst of planning a prison break-in to free one of his captured soldiers.

"It was more so me being this liberator, undercover agent who was sneaking into this prison to kinda rescue one of my comrades from the clutches of the evil people," Lupe recently told Rap-Up.com. "There's fight scenes and a whole lotta action. It's very aggressive, but at the end, I get the girl, so that's all that counts."

The preview also intersperses shots of Lupe in prison with footage from 9/11 and the Gaza Strip. The MC certainly isn't shy about expressing his political side, and with footage of actors portraying ambassadors from the U.S., Israel and France positioned in a police lineup, "Words I Never Said" isn't exactly breaking that streak.

"Words I Never Said" was directed by Moroccan-American director Sanaa Hamri, whose past work includes videos by Jay-Z, Prince, Christina Aguilera and Nicki Minaj. Check out the preview below, and don't miss the premiere of Lupe Fiasco's "Words I Never Said" video Thursday, April 28, on MTV.com.

1.) You may think you've seen every side of Lady Gaga, what with her fondness for wearing underwear as outerwear. But in a new three-minute-plus teaser from HBO's upcoming special "Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour at Madison Square Garden," we get a glimpse of a teary-eyed, vulnerable pop star. (HBO)

2.) My favorite Tumblr of the week, Cute Boys With Cats, knows EXACTLY what women want: pictures of cute boys with cats. (Tumblr)

3.) Big ups to the Robyn superfan who translated the pixie pop star's hour-long Swedish documentary, in which she talks about being bullied and breaking out of her label's predetermined image for her. Click through to watch the whole thing. (ONTD)

4.) As if Ellen DeGeneres didn't already have it all -- a talk show, a gorgeous wife, a frickin' beauty campaign! -- "Glee" hunk Darren Criss has made her an honorary Warbler, red-on-navy blazer included. (EW)

5.) Nicki Minaj has made giving lap dances to NBA stars a recurring feature in her live performances as of late, and that made Phoenix Suns point guard Steve Nash REALLY confused, excited, back to confused and then visibly uncomfortable. (Deadspin)

6.) The logical sequel to Double Dream Hands is, of course, Double Dream Feet. It's out -- you can watch it -- but I'm not entirely convinced this guy isn't just making it up as he goes along. (BuzzFeed)

7.) Oof. If anything can be learned from this eyeball-melting gallery of The Best Of The Worst Pop Group Outfits Of All Time, it's that sequins, lamé, pleather and other shiny, synthetic fabrics should be avoided at ALL COSTS. Yes, I'm looking at you, Destiny's Child. (Idolator)

8.) Don't be mad, but your dad, back in the day, was kind of hot. Also, he was a hipster. (Dads: The Original Hipsters via Urlesque)

9.) Serena Williams, not satisfied to just be a powerhouse tennis player, fashion designer and model, is now in the studio becoming a rapper. We bet her first single will be ACES -- sorry. (PopEater)

10.) Soooo much to love about this Britain's Got Talent's contestant (aka the next Susan Boyle), who's throwing some uh, SERIOUS STANK on everyone's favorite childhood nursery rhymes. Also to note: his necktie. (Jezebel)

What better place to film Simple Plan's video for their latest single, "Can't Keep My Hands Off You," than in a high school parking lot during prom. Prom is basically ground zero for borderline inappropriate fondling (well, if you're lucky). The pop punk band's video for the song, off of their yet untitled fourth studio album, brings us back to our high school days, even though we totally weren't cool enough to have been invited to their party.

"Cant Keep My Hands Off You," which is featured in the movie Prom, starts out with a bunch of drab looking teenagers looking super sad about the lame music playing over the loud speakers in their high school's gym. But then -- record scratch! (literally) -- Simple Plan's loud drums kick in, and everyone's bum-rushing the band who's going H.A.M. in the parking lot. Typical high school hijinks ensue: tee-peeing, food fights and getting rowdy on the football field.

Even though the song's all about touching, the "Can't Keep My Hands Off You" video is totally SFW. Oh, and the voice in the song during the second verse, that's not lead singer Pierre Bouvier's? It's Weezer's Rivers Cuomo. Boom. Instant cool points.

Attention Australia: Katy Perry is in you right now! Although the "Teenage Dream" singer didn't look too excited to be touching down Down Under, she tweeted otherwise: "#THECALIFORNIADREAMSTOUR HAS OFFICIALLY LANDED IN OZ! WE SO EXCITED." All caps? That means she's serious.

You guys know it takes, like, 500 hours to get to Australia, right? (That's an approximate number.) So we're not exactly blaming Katy for not exiting the plane all smiles and waves. She grabbed the nearest towel to hide her face from the paps, and we'd probably do the same thing. If I had cameras up in mah grill after a billion-hour flight, I'd probably just completely give up and put a paper bag over my head.

And how about Katy's wearing a beige sweat suit (actually, a beige CHANEL sweat suit, thankyouverymuch) and yet she still somehow manages to look totally presentable. A beige sweat suit? It's basically like wearing a huge Ugg boot over your entire body. It's just not supposed to work! On anyone! But Katy Perry makes latex dresses work, so I guess we're not that surprised. Stars! They're just like us!
