Diddy and Paul Rudd hit the club where The Lonely Island tell them to perform absurd tasks in "Go Kindergarten."

Diddy and Paul Rudd hit the club in The Lonely Island's "Go Kindergarten" video.

It can be SUPER hard to keep up with songs that require an entire dance routine (see: "Gangnam Style," "Cotton Eyed Joe," "One Cent, Five Cent, Ten Cent, Dollar," "Macarena," "The Electric Slide," "The Hustle"... Whoops, did we lose you?). But no matter what the routine, we have perfect faith in Diddy's ability to keep up -- heck, dude even CREATES dances (#DiddyJetDance). On the other hand, an awkward soul like Paul Rudd might have a little trouble adapting to the clurrrb, which is exactly the problem in The Lonely Island's new video, "Go Kindergarten," featuring Robyn.

Austin Mahone confessed his love for Mila Kunis on "Live From MTV"!

Austin Mahone confessed his love for Mila Kunis on "Live From MTV"!

When Austin Mahone stopped by for his "Live From MTV" interview yesterday, we may or may not have put him through the ringer juuuust a bit. We made him do push-ups and participate in a pie-eating contest merely for our amusement (sorry, dude), buuuut we also talked about his new video, "What About Love," and asked him deeply important questions like who he would take with him on a desert island. And his answer? "Oz: The Great And Powerful" star Mila Kunis! (We're assuming he'd take Mila's "Oz" character over Meg Griffin from "Family Guy.")

Watch Austin Mahone "meet" his dream girl, Mila Kunis, at "Live From MTV" after the jump.

It's Tuesday! Time for another round of "5 Must-Hear Pop Songs of the Week"!

This week's roundup features an electro-pop singer-songwriter's triumphant return to form, a bouncy club cut from one of the most promising new U.K. pop princesses, and the shiver-inducing summer anthem by pop's best DJ-meets-electro-violinist pairing.

This week's roundup features an electro-pop singer-songwriter's triumphant return to form, a bouncy club cut from one of the most promising new U.K. pop princesses, and more in 5 Must-Hear Pop Songs Of The Week.

1.) Frankmusik, "Chasing Shadows"

It's been almost two years since U.K. electro-pop prince Frankmusik laid out his latest studio effort, Do It In The AM, and a lot has changed since. He's undergone a few brief name swaps (he's back to Frankmusik!), decided to go the indie label route, released a slew of demos, and now we've finally arrived here with Between, his gorgeous new LP. The album really feels like a return to the singer's roots: sharply crafted pop ditties with stinging, glitchy, aching melodies, including lead single "Chasing Shadows." "I keep chasing shadows/ I have been for years/ You wouldn't exist if I wasn't here," he croons with all his might atop the glacial synthesizers on the arena-size power ballad -- something like Jonsi meets M83. It's further proof that despite label drama and industry foolery, Frankmusik's got plenty to offer as the talented songwriter we first fell in love with back in 2009.

Listen to Kelly Rowland's "Gone" featuring Wiz Khalifa.

Kelly Rowland and Wiz Khalifa collaborate on "Gone."

Her Talk A Good Game disc won't officially drop until June 18, but that doesn't mean Kelly Rowland (i.e Kellendria!) hasn't provided us with an ample taste of what's to come. We've already heard Kelly's emotionally revealing "Dirty Laundry," followed by the sultry "You've Changed" featuring her Destiny's Child sisters, Beyoncé and Michelle Williams. Now, Kelly's still on her collaboration train with her latest single, "Gone," featuring Sebastian's proud daddy, Wiz Khalifa!

Listen to two new Mac Miller songs from "Watching Movies With The Sound Off."

Mac Miller releases two new tracks from his upcoming "Watching Movies With The Sound Off" album.

We already thought Mac Miller posing nude on the cover of his sophomore studio album, Watching Movies With The Sound Off (dropping June 18), was, like, the gift to end all gifts. Now, not only can we stare at Mac's well-placed "Parental Advisory" sticker for days (heh), but we can top that off with listening to two brand-new tracks straight from the album: "Suplexes Inside Of Complexes And Duplexes" featuring Jay Electronica and "Gees" featuring Schoolboy Q.

Watch Grouplove's "Ways To Go" video.

Grouplove inspire peace in North Korea in their "Ways To Go" video. (We know. WHAT?!)

Some bands shy away from controversy (ahem, Beyoncé), and others fully embrace it (Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young circa "Ohio," M.I.A. circa "Born Free," Courtney Love circa EVERYTHING). And some bands don't feel it's their place to comment on polarizing world conditions, like, say, North Korea's totalitarian leadership. But Los Angeles indie-pop collective Grouplove is not one of those bands. Not only are they perfectly OK with depicting a young Kim Jong-un going around his mansion/castle spreading peace, love, and understanding in their new video, "Ways To Go," but lead singer Christian Zucconi also seems to have no problem wearing Kurt Cobain's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" striped T-shirt/scraggly hair look. Which is controversial in an ENTIRELY different way.

Watch Mindless Behavior's "Used To Be" video.

Mindless Behavior in MATCHING JACKETS. Enough said.

Between "All Around The World" and "Hello," Mindless Behavior have become so swaggy that we're not even sure we can call them kids anymore. But we kinda have to, right? Since literally NOT ONE MEMBER OF THE BAND is 18 yet? That kinda makes us feel a teensy bit weird, especially when Mindless' brand-new video, "Used To Be," features the bros singing about a love lost. Seriously?? I'm still waiting to fall in love, and these boys are already moving on to chick No. 2??? Dads, lock up your daughters right now!

The Wanted's Nathan Skyes has returned! Please enjoy this confused-faced Instagram.

It wouldn't be a proper "welcome back" without a dazed/confused selfie!

The Wanted sure love to honor their boy Nathan Sykes. First, Nathan and Max George grabbed some R&R on a fishing trip (where they also took their shirts off -- THANK YOU) before Nathan underwent throat surgery in April. Now, Nathan is BACK (#PRAISE!), and what did the boys do to celebrate? Why, COMMEMORATE THE OCCASION WITH PHOTOS, OF COURSE! Although we kinda have to say that the above photo looks a liiiiiiittle too "we're looking a little confused with our shirts on" and not enough "wanna count our abs??" But we'll take what we can get!

Word on the street is that Nathan surprised the crowd at London's Wembley Stadium on Sunday, where he popped up to sing his solo during "I Found You." #EMOTIONAL. And naturally, close buds Siva and Nathan took to Instagram to mark the occasion. Siva captioned, "Good to have the boy back." We agree! But maybe show us a little smile next time, as opposed to "deer in headlights"? Then again, whatever, because can anyone say: DUAL STRONG JAWLINES?

Kanye West premieres "Yeezus" during NYC listening party, watch One Direction's anti-bullying PSA + check out Justin Timberlake's "Tunnel Vision" single artwork in today's Buzz Bites.

Kanye West premiered "Yeezus" during a listening party last night at New York's Milk.

Kanye West premiered his upcoming album, Yeezus, during a listening party at New York's Milk. He also revealed that his track "Can't Handle My Liquor" features both Chief Keef and Bon Iver's Justin Vernon (that must've been some session!). Watch out for Yeezus when it drops June 18. (Pitchfork)

+ In more Yeezy/Yeezus news, Kanye is reportedly filming an "American Psycho"-themed music video, and he also debuted new songs during his Sunday set at New York's Governors Ball. Watch him perform "On Site" and "I Am A God." (RapFix)

+ Check out One Direction's new PSA for Office Depot's Anti-Bullying Back To School Campaign. The guys end the empowering PSA with the positive message "Live kind, love everyone, move together against bullying." (Just Jared)

+ Justin Timberlake unveiled the artwork for his third single from The 20/20 Experience, "Tunnel Vision." The clever design depicts a cutout photo of JT's face that can also be interpreted as a nude woman. (Idolator)

+ Skylar Grey revealed the track list for Don't Look Down, which drops July 9. Executive producer Eminem guests on "C'mon Let Me Ride," and the album also features Big Sean, Angel Haze, and blink-182's Travis Barker. (Rap-Up)

+ Kelly Clarkson debuted her new country-tipped track, "Tie It Up," during Nashville's CMA Music Festival on Saturday. The wedding-themed tune has cover art to match with Kelly wearing a wedding veil, all of which seems timely as she and artist manager Brandon Blackstock got engaged in December. (MTV News)

Watch For The Foxes' Running Back To You lyric video.

For The Foxes describe romantic love in their brand-new lyric video, "Running Back To You."

Did you know that 75 percent of love songs (rough guestimate) are all a lie? They're actually about falling out of love, or wishing that the object of your affection was in love with you. That's why it's a nice change of pace to hear a song like For The Foxes' "Running Back To You," which actually seems about a mutually shared love. Weird how that works!
