Diddy Dirty Money's new video, "Looking For Love," features Diddy and Usher "Yeah Man" Raymond on top of a building and in some of the city's darkest, most Gotham-esque corners while extolling both the virtues of and warning against an irresistible woman who may be after love... or just their billions upon billions of dollars.

Producer-slash-rapper-slash-actor Diddy plus R&B legend Usher appear to run the town as they perform the latest single from Diddy Dirty Money's Last Train To Paris album, which has sold a not-unimpressive quarter of a million copies since its December 2010 release. The video, directed by Colin Tilley, features some steamy footage of Diddy getting a wild one-woman private dance show. Diddy watches the girl dance for him before the camera cuts back to the performance aspect of the video. WHY MUST YOU TEASE US LIKE THAT, DIDDY? WHY.

The video's an intensely cool companion to the song, which is the seventh single off of the album.

Justin Bieber has a new fragrance out, hot on the heels of his unisex cologne, My World. The new scent is called Someday, and its corresponding commercial, filmed on a zero gravity plane to achieve a flying effect, is intriguingly scintillating.

In the commercial, a young blonde spritzes herself with the fragrance and suddenly finds herself transported into the clouds with a leather-clad Bieber wooing her and nuzzling her neck. We didn't even KNOW hoodies came in leather -- and we definitely want to shop where Bieber picked up those lilac suede high-top sneakers. Lost Boy chic!

Three parts Peter Pan, one part Superman, the girl is a modern-day Wendy as she flies through the air with her Bieber boy wonder. "I wanted to do a fragrance for women basically because I want to be smelling the girls' neck, I want to tell the girls what I like and what I think is going to be hot," Bieber told Ryan Seacrest, adding that the fragrance is also for moms. So moms who want to smell like the type of lady who can attract Justin Bieber? It's your lucky day, lady!

Also, given how steamy Bieber's Someday commercial is, we're rather relieved it features a young Dianna Agron look-alike and not a mom. That'd just be weird.

Oh, and if that bottle looks familiar -- it's because it very closely resembles the Marc Jacobs' Lola with its brightly colored plastic top, as BellaSugar pointed out. However, Marc Jacobs' iteration is in the shape of a flower, Justin Bieber's is a Russian-nesting-doll effect of hearts. Someday will hit stores on June 20 and retail for $35 to $55.

Are you tempted to start flinging fairy dust and spritzing yourself with Someday? Never say (directly, anyway) never.

If you like red-haired singers this is probably your year. Between Rihanna's fire truck-esque red locks, Florence + the Machine's Florence Welch and Paramore singer Haley Williams' dyed orange 'do, there's a lot of cool hair to answer for. Fortunately for you, too, Paramore's got a new song called "Monster," coming out on the 'Transformers: Dark Of The Moon soundtrack. "Monster" would be the first official new song (so far "In The Mourning" is just a demo) released since brothers Josh and Zac Farro left the band back in December of last year.  Josh (drums) and Zac (guitar) were founding members of the Franklin, Tennessee pop-punk outfit and left due to creative differences within the group. Very sad, yes, but we do have Tropicana-coiffed, vocally gifted Hayley Williams to be thankful for.

Paramore will be filming a video for "Monster" in Los Angeles in June, while the soundtrack will drop around the movie's July 1 release.

After going all out for her last video, "What the Hell," eternally scrappy pop-rocker Avril Lavigne has taken a slightly simpler approach to her new video, "Smile," the second single off her latest album, Goodbye Lullaby. "You know I'm a crazy bitch/do what I want when I feel like it," she sings, while flipping her green highlights around and generally being sassy. A man has once again broken her heart, and as we all know by now, Avril Lavigne does not take kindly to this.

But rather than enact any kind of retribution, Avril decides to be the bigger person and take a cleansing walk through the city, smiling at the people she encounters and making them happy. In a wonderfully emo flourish, the wounded Canadian literally picks up the pieces of her heart as she goes along. Apparently, her heart is made of glass, or maybe some type of hard, durable plastic. If only all hearts were so easily mended!

By the end, she has all the pieces back and is feeling much better, with nary an angry snarl in sight. In fact, she looks downright bubbly. Could it be that our angry little skater girl is learning to deal with things in a more grown-up fashion? Watch and decide for yourself.

For a woman who lives her life as a loud, proud electric cyclone of theatrical performance art and avant garde fashion, Lady Gaga has a series of rare quiet moments in her upcoming MTV special, "Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside." In this highly personal, emotional documentary, which airs Thursday, May 26, at 9 p.m. and at 11 p.m. ET/PT on MTV, Lady Gaga opens up about life pre-Gaga, when she was still a precocious, dangerously talented and at times an admittedly "bad kid" named Stefani Germanotta. In some highly personal, almost therapeutically revelatory instances, Gaga discusses the impact of having been bullied as a child, losing herself in classical piano before discovering Bruce Springsteen, her devastation upon being initially dropped her first record label, the solace and support she found in her family at that time, and her father's disapproval.

At a screening yesterday at MTV in New York, director Davi Russo, himself a native New Yorker, referred to truly down-to-earth Gaga, who immediately connected with him when he asked her about New York City:

"There was this amazing moment when she comes waltzing out in this pink majestic outfit with this huge bow on her head," Russo said about his initial meeting with Gaga. "She sits down, and I remember kneeling down next to her... and I said, 'I want to talk to you about New York and your childhood.' She looked at me and said, 'I need to change.' Fifteen minutes later she comes back in this amazing leather jacket that was just total New York City punk rock... I just saw that person transform."

Gaga's leather jacket became both a symbol of her transformation from international pop icon to New York City girl as well as a metaphor for her relationship with New York, which she personifies as her husband. "This is how I get home," Gaga explained. "My leather jacket is like my Dorothy slippers. That's why I changed when we sat down. He [Russo] said, 'I wanna ask you about New York.' I said 'You better get my leather.'"

In her leather jacket, Lady Gaga elaborated: "I wrote so many songs about New York... One in particular, "Marry The Night," that record is about my husband, New York."

Watch Gaga discuss her leather jacket and her marital relationship with New York in this exclusive video clip from her upcoming MTV special, "Lady Gaga: Inside the Outside," and watch director Davi Russo discuss meeting Gaga. Plus, watch more behind-the-scenes videos from Gaga's MTV special, and don't miss the show this Thursday, May 26, at 9 p.m. and at 11 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Earlier this week, we gave you an exclusive sneak peek of Jason Derulo's new video, "Don't Wanna Go Home," in which our hero outlasted the bevvy of sleeping women on his couch, dancing in a smoke-filled warehouse. Now we're excited to show you the full version, which features Derulo, Melody Thornton of Pussycat Dolls and various dancers waking up from a night of clubbing to keep the night going.

With his very attractive friends passed out beside, around and on top of him, Derulo reminisces about the night before, dancing over to the one girl still awake at the party. Dude, are you contractually obligated to dance instead of walk? I don't think I've seen you take three steps without instinctively busting into some "West Side Story." It's fine, we'll take it because it works on you and because we can't dance.

Eventually everyone wakes up, including one girl who slept in a closed trunk for some reason. And here, we have to respect Derulo for saying, "If the club is closed, let's just create our own." At 5 a.m., I am usually face deep in a gyro, one sock missing, while nodding off to a kung fu film. Jason Derulo and his crew are practicing full-scale choreographed dance routines. Jason Derulo wins every time.

When you're done watching the Rich Lee-directed video, check out our exclusive Jason Derulo interview, where the singer discusses the idea behind "Don't Wanna Go Home," celebrating his success with his parents and the meaning behind the name of his upcoming album, Future History.

Justin Timberlake caught a Broadway show and some dinner last night in New York City, and apparently he took along a girl who looked a lot like an Olsen. But much to the chagrin of Olsen fans, she was actually not an Olsen. Justin went to see "The Book Of Mormon" (the musical by the "South Park" guys) and then walked a few blocks over to his very own Memphis BBQ restaurant, Southern Hospitality in Hell's Kitchen. We've been there and can confirm it's a really good restaurant! Try the rosemary grits!

Seeing as how he the owns the restaurant, Justin probably sat wherever he wanted. After his meal, he left, perhaps to go home to catch the finale of "Dancing With The Stars." For some reason, I can't help wonder if he paid for the meal or if he has a tab or he's automatically comped.

Anyway, Justin is fresh off his highly praised hosting stint on "Saturday Night Live" this week, and there's a lot of buzz over this unaired sketch where he plays Mozart and pokes fun of himself... and Justin Bieber. Watch it below. And seriously, you have to try the grits.

Speak Now, Taylor Swift's third album, has already sold more than 3 million copies, but the singer is showing no signs of slowing down as she gives MTV an exclusive look at the video for her latest single, "The Story Of Us."

In her brand-new "Story Of Us" video, which is literally broken up into literary chapters, Swift reminisces about a college boyfriend and all the joy and issues that accompany a relationship. After meeting her future love in a library, the inevitable problems of pride and ego kick in, and pretty soon, we get Swift and her man looking sheepishly into their books and trying to avoid eye contact. When will casting directors learn that you can't make someone a nerd simply by putting glasses on them?!

But we digress. As the pair act out the song's line "This is looking like a contest of who can act like they care less," we're treated to frenetic cuts of library patrons, Swift's band and our romantic leads, culminating in a tornado of papers and a difficult decision. But we're not gonna tell you everything.

Directed by Noble Jones, whose previous work includes videos by Goo Goo Dolls, Michael Buble, Keith Urban and Seal, "The Story Of Us" is the fourth single from Speak Now.

+ Watch Taylor Swift's "The Story Of Us" video below, and watch Taylor Swift's "MTV First" interview with Sway to see Taylor answer questions from her fans.

THIS JUST IN. Tween pop megastar Justin Bieber was spotted in Hawaii with his girlfriend Selena Gomez yesterday, but that isn't the big news. Oh no. Are you ready? OK, according to our friends over at Idolator, JUSTIN BIEBER HAS A NEW TATTOO.

Yes, you are reading it correctly: There is a new tattoo on Justin Bieber. The tattoo is on his left side and allegedly says "Jesus" in Hebrew. This bombshell of a discovery was revealed just in these last few hours after paparazzi shots of Justin Bieber surfaced of the pop superstar and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez.

There's no official word yet of the tattoo from Bieber himself, but word on the blogosphere is that he perhaps received the tattoo while in Israel. Interesting! So for those keeping track, Justin Bieber now has two tattoos: this new one, and a small bird (looking not unlike the Twitter bird, IMHO), which matches one that his father has in the same place. Getting tattoos at 17! Justin Bieber sure is turning into a rebel, that's for sure! Soon he'll be riding a motorcycle in no time. It's a cool tattoo, at least, Biebs. Far better than this grown man's tattoo of your face.
