Spankin' New Music Week is coming to MTV November 23 through 27. It's a celebration of five new mega-albums that are all being released in one big mega-week.

Lady Gaga's dropping The Fame Monster Limited Edition, which if you're sharp enough you've already heard The Fame: Monster on MTV's The Leak (a whole week early!). Rihanna's Rated R also hits on Monday and you've already seen new videos for "Russian Roulette," and "Wait Your Turn." Meanwhile, Shakira's long-awaited, hotly anticipated She Wolf album drops next week.

Beyonce has the Deluxe Edition of I Am, and on Tuesday, Britney's releasing the Deluxe Box Edition of The Singles Collection.

So what's in store? We have interviews with Gaga, Shakira and Rihanna, MTV News sat down with some of the girls as well, and we'll have performances, videos, and more. It's an unofficial "ladies week," but because we're not biased we're not forgetting that 50 Cent also recently dropped his fourth LP, Before I Self Destruct and we sat down and talked to him too.

Check in next week for more Spankin' New stuff on MTV, and, until then, watch Rihanna's "Wait Your Turn" video.

50 Cent so crazy, I think he wanna have your baby! No really, 50 Cent is ready to be your baby daddy and make you really really rich.

Watch the exclusive premiere of 50 Cent's new video, "Baby By Me," directed by Chris Robinson, featuring Kelly Rowland and Ne-Yo, produced by Polow Da Don, off 50's upcoming album, Before I Self-Destruct, set to be released on November 16, 2009. Oh yeah, and don't worry -- that crying infant and those dirty diapers won't stop 50. He's still gonna keep it freaky.

50 Cent sure has changed his tune, hasn't he? Used to be, he just wanted to meet you in the club and do it. Then he just wanted to take you to the candy shop. Now he's ready to be your baby daddy! Hey, he's financially secure and can afford the kind of diamond-encrusted baby shoes that is the birthright of every infant. Of course, 50 Cent still really really really wants you to know how good he is at pleasin' you. Just because he's a dad doesn't mean he's not still totally into pleasing you. Don't get it twisted.

Watch the exclusive MTV sneak peek of 50 Cent's "Baby By Me" video, directed by Chris Robinson -- the hook and the video feature Kelly Rowland and Ne-Yo too. "Baby By Me" is produced by Polow Da Don, off 50's upcoming album, Before I Self-Destruct. If you're following that epic release-date saga, 50 Cent's next album SHOULD be released on November 23, 2009.

Fat Joe and 50 Cent's beef is approaching Montague vs. Capulet/Hatfield vs. McCoys territory now. Nobody remembers how it started, nobody remembers what it's about and nobody knows when it's going to end. These kind of sieges can be a real drag on the populace, so credit to 50 for having the consideration to at least take some comedic shots at the Terror Squad Don.

In two recent, frankly hilarious postings on ThisIs50.com, Curtis goes all funny-or-die on Fat Joe. In the first episode, 50 Cent is rushed to the hospital after listening to Fat Joe's new album, J.O.S.E. 2. If the overall concept isn't amusing enough, the interpolation of footage from E.R. (Sherry Stringfield!) certainly seals the deal.

In 50's follow-up clip (WARNING: F-BOMB!) a bandaged 50 advises viewers against listening to Fat Joe, lest they suffer a similar fate and/or die. 50 goes on to show a veritable greatest hits of YouTube fails -- including an amateur ninja hitting himself in the face and Young Buck falling off a motorcycle -- as examples of others feeling the effects of Joey Crack's tunes.

This conflict has long passed the point where someone should have stepped in and said, "girls, girls, you're both pretty." But if it keeps producing viral magic like this, then let the beef continue to cook.

+ Because Justin Timberlake doesn't have nearly enough to do (running clothier William Rast, golfing, making tequila, owning a BBQ restaurant in NYC, and CERTAINLY the most time-consuming thing: dating Jessica Biel!), an obvious next step would be to do an ad campaign for the Givenchy fragrance "Play." Holla for a dolla! (Popbytes)

+ NYC Police are preparing for the worst when rapper 50 Cent holds a "surprise" free concert in late August in the Queens neighborhood where he grew up. (NY Post)

+ Anyone in the mood for some new Weezer? We are too -- the band just announced their new single will drop on August 25. And if ya look real hard, it might just be floatin' around on the GooTube. (NME)

+ Will someone please tell me why Madonna is swimming in boxing trunks and a basketball jersey? (DrunkenStepfather)

+ Celeb feuds are as old as 'The Hills,' and Perez Hilton is usually the cause. This week, Ashlee Simpson told the Queen of Pink where he can stick it (and we're pretty sure it's a dark, dark place, devoid of all life), after meddling in her and hubby Pete Wentz' drunken affairs. (Cele|bitchy)

+ And speaking of Twitter, you'll be surprised to learn that Robert Pattinson does NOT like Twitter...(PopEater)

+ ...probably because people catch him maaaaaaybe kissing his maaaaaaaaybe girlfriend and co-star Kristen Stewart. (MTV News)

T.I. is SERIOUS about being sorry. You know how I know? Because he put Mary J. Blige in his new video, "Remember Me," and no one calls on Mary J. Blige unless they're super serious. I'm not saying Mary J.'s a downer, but she is strictly business. No one puts Mary J. in their video strictly for comic relief, you know? She doesn't pop up in wacky pie-in-the-face gag reels. Because Mary J. Blige a closer.

But just because T.I.'s had the book thrown at him and the jail cell closed on him -- he's currently serving a 366-day jail sentence for attempting to buy firearms from an undercover cop -- doesn't mean he's gone for good. T.I. DOES NOT want you to forget him. Ever.

Promise T.I. you'll be waiting for him the minute he gets out of the clink by watching his new video, "Remember Me," directed by Jessy Terrero (50 Cent, Wisin & Yandel).

Maybe not that sorry?

Diddy's a very, very busy guy, what with his Bad Boy empire and making all of those bands on MTV and such. But he's not all behind-the-scenes. And he's certainly not too busy to get right in on the action, as you'll see below, when he lends verses and his million-dollar face to Cassie's brand-new "Must Be Love" video. A minimal R&B slow-burner with a beat that sounds like rain, the track is the latest to surface from her upcoming album, Electro Love.

It was real nice of Diddy to help out on "Must Be Love." His rhymes definitely beef up the track and his million dollar face undoubtedly attracts attention. But, by now, you've probably seen a few photos of Cassie. She doesn't really need any help attracting attention, does she?

Aside from giving the beautiful Cassie plenty of air-time, the Bernard Gourley (50 Cent, Flo Rida, M.I.A.) -directed video also does plenty to fuel the frenzy over her effortless talent (not to mention the frenzy over her long-rumored romance with Diddy -- these two look pretty comfortable!). Get your first look at what everybody's gonna be slow-grinding to this summer, right here on Buzzworthy!

+  Eminem did a lot of reaching out when he was addicted to drugs. Reaching out to people he has things in common with. People who understand the lifestyle he leads. People like Elton John. (MTV News)

+ There has been a lot of good buzz about Depeche Mode's new album "Sounds Of The Universe" and the subsequent world tour this summer. Sucks that singer Dave Gahan is having really bad stomach problems, forcing them to cancel tons of shows. (The Tripwire)

+ Looks like that Rihanna and Lady GaGa track we told you about Tuesday was a fakity fake. Ugh... it's always too good to be true. (Singersroom)

+ Our favorite feline Kitty Purry (Katy Perry) brought the lolz on last night's American Idol when she managed to piss off anyone from middle America who is not voting for little "Lamchop" (Adam Lambert). What didn't bring the lolz, however, was how flat she was. Give a girl an earpiece! (Neon Limelight)

+ Speaking of things that AREN'T flat (and no, we're not talking about Katy Perry's boobs) -- have you seen her new video for "Waking Up In Vegas?" She took us behind the scenes as only KP can do. (Buzzworthy)

+ DMX has evidently found Jesus (by Jesus, we mean the Son of God, not Madonna's love sponge Jesus Luz) and you'll never guess where -- in jail of course, while the rapper was doing time for animal cruelty and sundry other indiscretions. (NME)

+ If it's really true that actress Bette Midler wants to collabo with 50 Cent, then we really WILL be able to eat Dippin' Dots in hell. (The Hip Hop Chronicle UK)

In the interview below, Rick Ross doesn't mention that he lied through his teeth to get "All I Really Want" made. He had to. His Colombian video fantasy was just too dangerous for his label to sign off on without a little embellishment.

It was so important to Ross that his video's backdrop be beautiful Colombia, that he insisted he "had people" in Medellin, once the famous headquarters of drug lord Pablo Escobar, and that the crew would be welcomed with open arms. He even straight-up lied to The-Dream, who guests on the track. Now that is commitment.

As you'll soon learn, Ross has been deeply committed to the greatness of "All I Really Want," and to Deeper Than Rap, from the beginning. Maybe even more committed than he is to beefin' with 50 Cent!

Hit play below to find out which record-breaking album inspired his latest sounds. Here's a clue: he used to listen to it "on vinyls" with his mom.

Then watch Rick Ross's lush Colombian masterpiece, "All I Really Want," after the jump.

My biggest regret in my life used to be not owning a unicorn. Now it's not owning a time machine that'd enable me to go back in time, convince my parents to move to New Jersey and allow me to go to prom with all of Honor Society -- Michael Bruno, Andrew Lee, Alex Noyes, and Jason Rosen -- who had LONG hair at his prom! Can I get a WITNESS? Photographic evidence? OMG, I'd totally wear some kind of Katy Perry-inspired dress (or maybe something Taylor Swift-y?), we'd dance to 50 Cent, do the Honor Roll, and then we'd all get Pinkberry after.

+ After the jump, Watch Honor Society share their prom memories, and get more Buzzworthy prom stories. Oooh, and while you're here, stay tuned for more exclusive Honor Society videos and photos, coming soon soon soon!
