  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

Back in Febrero we semi-hipped you to a special Kid Sister project where she was teaming up with Reebok and Foot Locker to sell their shoes, along with an exclusive Jungle Brothers cover. Apparently she's one of several artists (Kidz In The Hall, B.o.B., etc) who will be putting new spins on favorite old jams in honor of Reebok's sweet new sneaks.

Well, Kid Sister savants, your wait is almost over. I just got an email that includes a commercial with a sneak peek of her Chi-town take on the JBs' "I'll House You," as well as some live footage of that photo shoot I creeped around with my camera this winter. Revisit my photos and sneaky interview here, and be the first to see that Kid Sister Reebok spot, after the jump!

This is it! The final tour diary from the lovely and amazing 3OH!3. And babies, let me tell you, it sure does deliver. This time around, Nat and Sean are checking in from Panama City Beach, Florida, where they were a major factor in the insanity that is MTV Spring Break 2009. Dive right in (they did!) to your last weekend of 3OH!3, in which they stay up all night, declare their love for men, toss their cookies, and crash their Jet Skis. Must be Spring Break!

PANAMA CITY BEACH your lovely shores are stocked full of hot bodies and no reservations. We were just in Cancun and it was pretty g*ddamn epic, so we were trying to top it here.

We met up with our boy Benny Blanco at the airport in Atlanta on the way -- he came down from NYC to hang out and DJ for us. If you don't know, Benny is the illest beatmaker and producer in the world right now. His s**t is insane. He's done Britney, Spank Rock, B.o.B. and I co-produced "Don't Trust Me" with him. We are in love with him. He's in love with us. It's one of those things. Don't judge.

We got into the hotel and worked on the set until we couldn't keep our eyes open any more.

Wake-up call. We went to the beach to record a bunch of interviews for the different MTV networks. We said some dumb s**t probably, maybe some smart s**t intermingled in there. Probably mostly dumb s**t. Over to the beach to check out the stage and soundcheck. It was a rad setup -- mad people already and they were going off for our sound check. I threw cookies out to the crowd for some reason. People seemed stoked.

We started the show and s**t went OFF!!! There were something like 6-7,000 people on a BEACH... in FLORIDA... under the SUN... with all sorts of cameras and loud speakers. It was so much fun out there. We went crowd-surfing with our little pink and blue inner-tubes. Benny killed the set.

We got done and went straight to renting Jet Skis. Good idea. We crashed going like 45.

MTV SPRING BREAK ---  I love spring break now. So much. Man, that was a fun day...

+ See it all for yourself, tonight at 8pm ET, on FN Spring Break Rules!

Forget about Super Tuesday -- today's your next-to-last chance to vote for this year's Best Hip-Hop Video nominees! And since voting ends at 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (a.k.a. after your Egg McMuffin, but before your Supersized Big Mac and fries) it's probably best to get to the polls today. But first, check out our helpful rundown of the leading hip-hop contenders:

+ Maino, "Hi Hater" - An unequivocal office favorite, this song has helped us through late nights, early mornings and our daily food coma. In short, this is the song we love to hate.

+ Lil Wayne, "A Milli" - We've said it before, and we'll say it again. Anyone who can turn the phrase "I'm a venereal disease" into a chart-topping smash hit is clearly some sort of evil, diabolical genius.

+ Snoop Dogg, "Sensual Seduction" - Why? Because it's got that campy, Ladies Man thing happening. Plus, Snoop's so big pimpin' in his wardrobe that he makes Huggy Bear look like the epitome of understated refinement.

+ Flo Rida, "Low" - This vid deserves a shout-out for embodying virtually every single hip-hop stereotype, including (but not limited to) indoor shades, brightly colored tracksuits and an extremely bendy crop of female extras.

+ The Game, "Game's Pain" - Fresh Prince references! A cameo by Ice Cube! 50 Cent rocking the couture sweatband! Need we say more?

+ Ray J, "Sexy Can I" - Three words for you, Ray J: "Yes," "When?" and "Hummina hummina."

+ Lil Wayne, "Lollipop" - We love this video in spite of -- or possibly because of -- Weezy's highly questionable air guitar solo.

+ Tyga, "Coconut Juice" - Aside from making us thirsty, this video has it all: the laid-back beach vibe, the amazingly shirtless MC and the completely superfluous cameo by Pete Wentz.

+ Jay-Z, "Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)..." - This song is like the music video equivalent of Good Will Hunting. Except instead of the annoying Robin Williams character it's a glammed-out Mariah Carey. (How do you like them apples??)

+ Shwayze, "Buzzin" - The song that launched a tv show! And catapulted Shwayze and Cisco Adler to insta-fame, despite their defiant refusal to adhere to "No Shirt, No Service" signs.

+ B.o.B., "Haterz Everywhere" - We totally have that purple hoodie sweatshirt B.o.B. wears in the video! (You got it from Forever 21, right?) Also: that part where he raps "Haterz everywhere we go?" It's like he's reading our minds! No, seriously, B.o.B. -- get out of our heads.

Now, go get your vote on!
