You already know Jason Mraz's new single, "Lucky," by heart. The Colbie Caillat duet has been a hit since it got its first taste of the airwaves in January. The pair celebrated its success with a Saturday Night Live performance, and watched it climb the charts.

But Jason Mraz's "Lucky" story doesn't end there. In anticipation of the release of his Latin American version of We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things., Mraz has re-recorded "Lucky" as "La Suerte," a duet with Spanish lyrics, featuring Mexican singer/actress Ximena Sariñana.

Her name may be new to you, but Sariñana is a Grammy nominee and a telenovela veteran who got her start acting at age 11. Now, Jason Mraz is bringing her beautiful face and voice into the US spotlight. Get your first look at the seductive new video for "Lucky," aka, "La Suerte," premiering today on MTV Tr3s!

The thought of going to prom with David Archuleta is so unbelievably, arrestingly adorable that it's probably best not to even entertain those dreamy Mcdreams, because it's just fertile ground for getting absolutely, Archudorably carried away.

I mean Archie -- who's never been to an actual prom but has been to a Senior Ball -- would wear the CUTEST tie and possibly something red (because David looks THE CUTEST in red, no? And purple! And scarves! Arghh!), and we'd maybe dance to "I Will Always Love You," or something by McFly, or Demi, or Pink, or Jason Mraz or we could even dance to his duet with Miley. Would that be weird? And OMG, Archie would ramble and be like "haha" all the time, and it'd be pretty much the best night ever.

But, since my big dream date with David Archuleta hasn't happened yet, I'll just have to settle for this prom interview with David. (Mentally, I'm substituting myself in every time I refer to "your date.") And now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to water my corsage and brush my David Archuleta Build-A-Bear's hair. "Haha!"

I mean WHO? WHO? In their RIGHT OR LEFT MIND would LEAVE David Cook? SHAME ON YOU, Sarah Roemer, even though you're just PORTRAYING David Cook's lost love. Also, David, you are PHENOMENAL at playing piano in reverse and hailing a cab in the middle of the woods. (I can hardly get one in Times Square!) That takes SKILL! And, as always, David Cook, your soulful scruff is the picture of perfection!

Watch David Cook's visually arresting new video, "Come Back To Me," from his certified Platinum self-titled debut. The "Come Back To Me" video was shot at LAX airport -- Maroon 5 also shot their "Make Me Wonder" video there -- by Gavin Bowden (Lifehouse, Jason Mraz, Red Hot Chili Peppers).

I don't wanna shatter any illusions here, but if you're looking to a professional blogger for advice on anything romantic, you have some serious thinking to do. That's why I'm handing this Valentine's Day post off to a pro. John Vesely, aka Secondhand Serenade has more magnetism in one frosted tip than the whole rest of the Internet combined. Can the Internet play piano and sing with its eyes closed? No. It doesn't even have feelings (or eyes). All it can do is make a heart out of a bracket and a three. Weak. John Vesely was born to tell you he loves you. Stick with him. Here's a special Valentine's Day message and a crazy romantic love-playlist from the man himself:

I've always been a lover, not a fighter which is why I love this time of year. And one of my true loves is obviously music. So to come up with a list of long songs/videos is no problem for a guy like me. It's the time of year where you hear songs you may have heard 100 times before, but you suddenly realize they have a special meaning or remind you of someone close to your heart. So hopefully you can take a look at the videos I decided to go with, and let it remind you of whoever may be that certain someone for you.

+ Jason Mraz, "I'm Yours" - A simple song and a simple video. Both are undeniable.
+ The Fray, "You Found Me" - The video showcases both a great band and a beautiful city.
+ Thriving Ivory, "Angels on the Moon" - These guys are good friends of mine. They went all out on this video.
+ Plain White T’s, "Hey There Deliah" - One of the biggest songs and best videos of a few years back.
+ Katy Perry, "Thinking of You" - I love her retro style, which is overly evident in this video.
+ Kanye West, "Love Lockdown" - Kanye is always evolving and this is a colorful, left-of-center display of his art.
+ Justin Nozuka, "After Tonight" - He's a great new young talent, which is clear as day in this, his first video.
+ R. Kelly, "Real Talk" - Because the video is just as real as the song.
+ We The Kings, "Secret Valentine" - Travis's hair turns me on.
+ Augustana, "Sweet and Low" - I love how the song was written it was written very personally.

Wow ... Thanks, John!!

In the upcoming Nickelodeon movie Spectacular!, Simon Curtis plays Royce, who's a total rude dude. But in real life, Simon Curtis is whip-smart, courteous (look how polite he was to the stylist at Popstar!), and sweeter than the cheesecake he may or may not be digging into with the Spectacular! cast when the movie premieres this Monday, February 16 at 8pm. Find out more about Simon Curtis, and see what he and cast member Victoria Justice have up their sleeves the next time they turn their camera on and record another home movie.

Buzzworthy: Hey Simon! What'd I just catch you doing?
Simon Curtis: I just came from breakfast with Victoria and Avan. They live so close, we all hang out together. We were really excited because Drea from Danity Kane walked in, and Making the Band was our show! "Damaged" was our song up in Vancouver on the Spectacular! set. We were always screaming that song at the top of our lungs. So it was kind of a serendipitous thing to have Drea walk in! And Victoria's so gutsy -- she sees someone and just has no problem to be like “hey we met at the Teen Choice Awards!” And I’m like shrieking in my seat, cowering!

Buzzworthy: How’d you prepare for the role of Royce?
SC: I was raised in Oklahoma, and it’s like the heartland of show choir! So I knew all about show choir. I swear I knew at least five Royces back in my high school. When I was auditioning, I was telling my roommates, like this IS my high school, and I have to get this role so I can make fun of this hilarious depiction of a quintessential show choir guy. So I totally connected with the character based on my experiences in high school.

BW: What kind of guy were you in high school?
SC: I was such a chameleon. I really kept to myself. I was very friendly and well-liked but I had my two best friends and I really stuck to them. I did do drama, and I did do choir, but my big thing was the school newspaper. That was where I really thrived. I loved performing but I never really got along with those kids. The newswriting kids were who I hung out with. I guess looking back I was a bit of a nerd!

BW: What was the hardest part of shooting?
SC: We had some difficult days on set, and it was very cold on night shoots, but it was honestly the best time I’ve ever had in my life. There was one scene I shot with Victoria for and I we were shooting “Lonely Love Song.” It’s the hardest dance number in the movie, and we shot in this room that was soooo hot -- of course, it’s the hottest day in Canada! And for some reason we only shot the musical number from the beginning to the end. So by the time you've done 40, 50 takes of a musical number, we’d done it the whole way through the entire time! It was so grueling! They were taking us outside between every take to drink Gatorade and cool down. So it was the hardest day, but it was the best day because it was Victoria and my last day of shooting. But we loved every moment we had up there.

BW: What Spectacular! secrets can you share? And I already know about the heating pads!
SC: I’m so glad you called them out! To this day I still don’t know what they are! They’re these weird little crunchy sandbags that get extremely hot, and our clothes were STUFFED with them! I don’t know what chemical reaction is taking place, but it still blows my mind. Also, our big finale number is in the scene where we’re performing in a big auditorium, but most of those numbers were shot on a soundstage with no audience or auditorium. There was only about five feet of space from the end of the stage to the wall. It was such a tight fit, but when you watch the movie, it’s so seamless. You’d never ever guess you we didn’t shoot the movie with an audience. So there's a little movie magic for you!

BW: Who’s your favorite Spectacular! cast member?
SC: Victoria’s like my little sister now. We became really close because we played boyfriend/girlfriend characters, and we instantly connected. I’m older than her, but she’s a very old soul. I’m very protective of her like an older brother, and she rags on me like a sister! But I’m really close with Andrea Lewis and Avan. I made some really really good friends.

BW: Do you and Victoria have any more YouTube videos coming up?
SC: They’re spur of the moment. Victoria and I have been trying to do a singing video since the summer, but we keep arguing about which song! She wants to do that Jason Mraz/ Colbie Caillat duet “Lucky,” and I wanna do “Falling Slowly,” from Once. So we’ll see.

BW: Are you guys all getting together to watch the movie when it premieres this Monday?
SC: Yeah, we’ll all probably just go out to eat and hang out and watch it! I’ve been on such a hardcore diet lately and focusing on fitness, so the night the movie comes out will be my big release! There will be some Cheesecake Factory in there somewhere! It’s my downfall. What can I say?

+ Don't miss Simon in action as Royce when Spectacular! premieres this Monday on Nickelodeon! But until then, check out an exclusive interview with Tammin Sursok, see a brand-new photo of Nolan Gerard Funk, who plays Nikko, and watch the "Your Own Way" video from the movie!

I know. It's hard to believe that the guys above actually play music and aren't extremely life-like mannequins, designed to just stand there and stare back at you, making you think slightly impure thoughts because they're SO FREAKING HOT IT'S INSANE.

But they're actually for-real living, breathing human beings AND musicians. You know Jay Lyon as Whitney Port's boyfriend on The City, and that's Potsy on the right, and they're both in the beachy band, Tamarama -- think Jack Jackson meets Jason Mraz on holiday at Bondi Beach. (Do you like how I just casually said "holiday"?) And they're both extremely hot, if I didn't mention that yet. I would mention the fact that they have Australian accents, but your either your head or monitor might detonate.

+ Check out brand-new Tamarama photos, and watch Tamarama's latest video, "Everything To Me."

(P.S. Jay's actually that absurdly gorgeous in person.)

We're not sure whether Jason Mraz's "Lucky" -- directed by Darren Doane, who also shot Jason's "I'm Yours" video -- is a music video or an ad for that new ck one V2.0. We're also not sure we care. The song, a pretty duet with the breathy, sunkissed Colbie Caillat, may be short, sweet and a bit on the hokey side, but trust us when we tell you the cinematography's no joke.

Get a taste of the good life by watching Jason Mraz (and by the way, nice to see Jason looking way more Chuck Bass than guy-from-Spin Doctors!) pound Prague's picturesque pavement while his one and only leaves wet, sandy footprints somewhere off the coast of paradise. Oh, to be warm and in love ...

Somehow, though we've meant to, we haven't yet posted about Tristan Prettyman. So we're doing that now.

The Ani DiFranco-inspired surfer chick (who turned heads with her debut LP, t w e n t y t h r e e) has already toured with Jason Mraz. And her newest video, "Madly," off her latest album, Love, goes out to anyone who's ever tried to relive a failed relationship by poring over old photos and obsessively recalling memories of happier times. (Not that we've ever done that... DAMN YOU, Tristan!)

Aside from expertly encapsulating the mixed emotions that accompany a painful breakup, the San Diego native also skillfully captures the bittersweet process of moving on via lighthearted melodies and melancholy lyrics. And in addition to that soothing voice (think Colbie Caillat), Tristan is a former Roxy model and is maybe the most photogenic person you'll ever see in your life. Diplomatic terms like "unflattering lighting" and "not her best side" do not apply. (Damn you again!) But enough of the shallow stuff, which we excel at pointing out. Watch the video.

Jason Mraz: singer, songwriter ... magician? Apparently, Jason started dabbling in magic (coin tricks, to be exact) while working on his new album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things, out today. In fact, he's so into his new hobby that he took a magician on the road with him during his Music, Magic & Make Peace Tour.

But Jason's love for sleight of hand doesn't end there. He has also released three bonus EPs featuring demos, live performances and acoustic versions of songs that appear on his new full-length studio album. One of those EPs, We Steal Things, includes some "stolen" cover songs.

See what Jason had to say about the connection he feels between music and magic and why he decided that releasing one album's worth of new material just wasn't enough.
