Natalia Capuccini, otherwise known as underground pop songstress Natalia Kills, has some seriously famous friends. She's worked with "Buzz On" alum Frankmusik, party-poppers LMFAO, Far East Movement and super producer/rapper Akon. Her album boasts collaborations with Kid Cudi, she's slated to go on tour with Ke$ha and did I forget to mention that consummate hitmaker will.i.am is featured on Natalia's new single, "Free"? I'm dizzy.

If you live in Germany, chances are you might've already gotten your hands on Natalia Kills' new album, Perfectionist, when it was released there this past spring. But, now Ms. Kills is setting her sights on the rest of the world, and will.i.am, whose verse on "Free" was added after the German release, has plans to make sure this record is a hit.

Known more for her darker, edgier and less commercial vibe, Natalia Kills serves up some lighter, breezier pop fare with "Free," a perfect accompaniment to the brutal summer heat. (Seriously, NYC? I'M DYING. I digress.) The will.i.am-sanctioned tune is driven by a plucky, plunky piano track and sugary layered synths. Real talk: "Free" almost sounds like an early B.E.P. record (circa "Where Is The Love?") where Natalia Kills is Fergie, and will.i.am is well, will.i.am.

And speaking of Mr.am, his verse is as chill and swagged out as you'd expect from the hitmaker. He raps, setting the carefree tone for the rest of the record, "I got some money in my pocket, and I wanna go shopping and go buy me some things I like. I saw some kicks up in the mall that I just gotta be rockin'... I'm no material guy, I just wanna look fly."

Yo, Will. You and Natalia both look massively fly to me, but if you gotta make a quick pit stop at the mall to tweak your look, go right on ahead. Who am I to judge?

Natalia Kills' forthcoming album, Perfectionist, is slated for release on Aug. 16.

Day-um! Rihanna proves for the umpteenth time that she's smoking hot, this time at the Staples Center in Los Angeles last night during her performance. We'd wager that few people could simultaneously pull off THAT state of undress in what is essentially a beaded belt and hot pants combination while playing a game of handsies with THEMSELVES. The outfit looks more like a pair of accessories than a duo of garments, and yet showing that much skin paired with patent-leather two-tone booties looks AMAZING on her.

Rihanna even tweeted after the show, saying "Was GREAT to see so many of you tonight!! Whenever celebs come to a show I feel special!! But #RihannaNavy was in the house DEEP!!Love yall" Awww! Shout to the fans. Also on Twitter, Rihanna announced that a date in Alabama has been added to her Loud tour, where the proceeds will go toward tornado relief for the state. The show is set for July 11.

+ Lady Gaga's disclosed that her latest alter ego is that of a panda on Japanese talk show. According to Gaga, it's TOTALLY a no brainer. Why? Because "pandas have paws, and I always tell my fans to put their paws up. I've been eating a lot of bamboo this week," she joked. And shortly thereafter, the singer even began referring to herself as Gagapanda on Twitter.  (MTV News)

We have to admit that most of the time the International Board of Celebrity Wax Figure Manufacturers (or whoever does those things) unveil their latest creation, we're usually throwing them a little side-eye. No offense, but there are a lot of celeb replicas out there that completely miss the mark. But kudos to Madame Tussauds for totally nailing Alicia Keys (figuratively) -- not only does the wax figure genuinely look like the "Superwoman" herself, but they picked the perfect pose. And brownie points for the badass leather ensemble.

And, hello, the real Alicia Keys looks better than ever! We're seriously about to start a petition to keep Alicia Keys in this teal-y green at all times. The skin, the hair, the dress -- stuh-ning. More of this, please.

Hey look, Kreayshawn put out another song! And all we can say is THANK YOU, BASED GODDESS! THANK YOU! "Rich Whores" totally serves anyone who rudely assumed she'd be a one-viral-hit wonder -- as haters often do when confronted with a monster hit from a 21-year-old, multi-talented Bay Area young gun newcomer stunner. Oh, and she's also just DIRECTING RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS' NEW VIDEO. NO BIGS.

Released online late last week, "Rich Whores" is a classic dis track directed at all the "rich whores" clogging up her thrift store, "dancing with no rhythm," doing drugs and generally being posers. Well, she certainly told them twice. (And we're more than certain she's been to heavily populated neighborhoods of Brooklyn.)

Kreayshawn's flow on "Rich Whores" is slow and simple, almost childlike, which juxtaposes the nasty things she's saying quite nicely. "Rich whore rich whore/standing at the thrift store/line it up, line it up/sniff more sniff more," goes the taunting refrain. Another choice line: "You can put a pig in lipstick, but you can't disguise the stank." Burn notice! She also manages to incorporate both Gucci Mane and The Spice Girls into her insults.

Will the feisty Oakland native ever run out of people to hate on? With a short summer tour coming up, and of course, her forthcoming full-length, the pressure is on.

It's been four months since the former Fall Out Boy frontman released his debut EP, Truant Wave, which was filled with posi-core soul-punk anthems such as "Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia)" and "Big Hype," and we couldn't be happier that the Boy is back with a new song, featuring Lupe Fiasco.

The two collaborated years ago when Patrick Stump produced Fiasco's song "Little Weapon," and it looks like the rapper (and fellow Chicagoan) is returning the favor on "This City." More soul than punk, the song is an ode to their beloved Chi-Town, highlighted by lyrics like: "You can take my picture/You can take my name/But you're never going to take my city away." We wouldn't dare, Patrick.

Looks like you can take the boy out of the Midwest, but you can't take the Midwest out of the boy.

Patrick Stump's debut solo album, Soul Punk, is out later this summer.

Fun times electro-rock group Cobra Starship are back with a video for their song "You Make Me Feel...", and it's a very welcome summer jam for those of us who prefer dark clubs to sunny beaches. "You Make Me Feel...," from Cobra Starship's upcoming Night Shades album, is set in the decadent world of downtown New York nightlife (or is it Brooklyn?). The Kai Regan-directed video features cameos from a host of familiar NYC faces, including doppelgänger DJs Andrew and Andrew, Brooklyn rap crew Ninjasonik, photographer Nicky Digital and MTV News' very own James Montgomery. Also: a HEAVILY hirsute Robin Williams(?!?!) Party on, dude!!!

But it's not all dance floor gyrations and poppin' bottles with models. Our hero Gabe Saporta must track down a beautiful mystery woman -- played by the extremely cute and talented Britney collaborator Sabi, who also sings on the track -- without whom he will never feel complete! What ensues involves internet stalking, the taking of photo booth photos (which is always fun), and lots of dancing and merrymaking. Will Gabe dance his way into his fair maiden's heart? Watch the "You Make Me Feel..." video premiere below and find out!

French DJ David Guetta can always be counted on to provide a blazing-hot summer dance record. And, since it's officially shorts-chafing weather, it's about time he delivered.

After several sneak peeks, the full-length "'Where Them Girls At" video has finally dropped, and it hits up all the classic "big summer smash video" marks that a big summer-smash video should. We've got hot girls in bikinis, a luxe pool resort chock full of fruity drinks with umbrellas (jellis!) and a classic supernatural subplot line (somewhat reminiscent of our fifth favorite thing about Britney's "I Wanna Go" video) -- only in this case, it's a magic air bubble that makes the hot girls dance uncontrollably. Oh, and then there's Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj who infinitely raise the video's summer-smash ranking.

The video begins at the pool, darlings, where we see Flo Rida scoping out the "merch" and setting his sights on the hottest chick there. Somehow, the supernatural bubble is cognizant of this and floats towards his girl of choice. Perplexed, she stares at it for a while and then decides to pop it, not knowing she'll be overtaken by its contents and be forced to dance to the music (read: flail about).

The magic bubble then floats a little more, targeting other hot girls, and making a brief pit stop at David Guetta's location, which is, unsurprisingly, atop the highest building in the city. Guetta seems to be unaffected by the bubble, so it decides to make its way to the underground club where Nicki and her entourage of shirtless male models are chillin'. Nicki, in a leopard-print hat, also seems unaffected by the bubble's power, so it leaves the club and once again hits the streets. That bubble's got MOXIE!

Next thing we know, the video cuts back to Guetta as he's DJ'ing on top of the building. We soon learn that it's actually not a supernatural agent but rather DJ Guetta who is responsible for the mystical bubbles. We should've known!

Even though the plotline of this video is a bit far-flung, at least Guetta and pals provided us with some closure! We're literally still wondering who the hell that guy was at the end who drove off with Britney in the "I Wanna Go" video.

Marvin's Room has been getting pretty packed lately. First, JoJo dropped a drunk dial-y cover version set from a female's perspective. Then, Chris Brown's "Marvin's Room" remix took the side of the dude who is now dating Drake's Ex. But even though Marvin Gaye's name's on the door, it's really Drake's space, and there's just room for Drake and his official "Marvin's Room" video.

Taking to his personal blog (the same forum he used to release his track, "Trust Issues") in the wee hours of the a.m., Drake unleashed the "Marvin's Room" video. If you thought Drake was sad in "Trust Issues," the hazy, slow and melancholic vibe of the "Marvin's Room" video indicates that Drake is still mad depressed. (And still rocking some mad '70s hair.) We see Drizzy musing about dimly lit bars and later, roaming around the abandoned Toronto streets with his head hanging low.

All's not totally lost though. Drake has his good pal liquor to keep him company. A large chunk of the video shows Drake seeking comfort in the many (presumably free?) beers and top-shelf liquors he's throwing back. As if he's intentionally seeking the pity vote from female fans, the video then cuts to a downhearted Drake hitting on random women, all the while singing about that one who got away and who he later tragically drunk-dials.

Adding to his pile of woes, while examining himself in a mirror, Drake gets seriously contemplative and seeks to examine his own failures while questioning the pitfalls his fame. He raps, "I don't think I'm conscious I'm making monsters out of the women I sponsor, till it all goes bad."

Day-om, Drake. You're in a straight-up rut. I bet we could find you like, 90,000 female fans who just might be willing to help you get out of it. (Translation: CALL! ME!)

They feel the heat, the heat between me and you, Joe Jonas.

When I was a very little kid I went to this ridiculous weeklong summer camp called Safety Town, where I learned how to drive a tricycle through traffic cones (some things just aren't innate!) and, even more important, not to play with matches. The latter went on to become a lesson I carry with me to this day. And it's a fire-safety lesson I fear Joe Jonas has not learned. Or at least, he hasn't surrounded himself with risk-adverse individuals who know better than to start fires, like the girl in the sneak peek of his "See No More" video, which is a far cry from his artistic lyric video for the song. And with the "See No More" video fiiii-nuh-ally premiering tomorrow, there's never been a better time to warn Joe Jonas to wear some protective gear and maybe even consider finding a fire hose.

Remember in "The Social Network" when Brenda Song goes cray on Andrew Garfield and lights a fire in his room (SPOILER!)? Basically that's what happens in Joe Jonas' "See No More" preview when this chick goes all Prodigy on his ass. Fortunately we got a MAD HOT "beauty shot" (as they say in the business) of Joe before the room ignites, frying what looks like some pretty pricey furniture.

"See No More," off his FastLife album (Sept. 6), already feels dark and foreboding, which, of course tends to happen when and where arson is involved. Will it go the direction of Eminem's "Love The Way You Lie"? Kanye West's "Flashing Lights"? (Lady! PLEASE don't beat the ish out of Joe Jonas with a shovel!) We'll have to wait and see... more (get it? Dumb pun, I know) when Joe Jonas' "See No More" finally premieres.

+ What do you think will happen in Joe Jonas' "See No More" video?
