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.

Yesterday we featured David Guetta's video, "Sexy Chick." Lest we leave you in a lurch wondering who, exactly, David Guetta is, here's some backstory.

David Guetta is essentially Supreme DJ Overlord of Europe's dance circuit (unofficial title); so while David doesn't have to impress anyone over here, he's been winning over U.S. audiences all summer.

Do I need to ask if you're familiar with Guetta's summer jam, "When Love Takes Over," with vocals by Kelly Rowland? How about the Black Eyed Peas number, "I Gotta Feeling," which Guetta produced and co-wrote? So yeah, whether you knew it or not, your summer's been Guetta-rrific.

DJ Guetta's name may come to the U.S. forefront soon enough, though, thanks to latest album, One Love; Guetta has a ridiculous set of collaborations: Of course there's Kelly Rowland -- as well as a remix of "I Gotta Feeling" -- on the album, but he's also got will.i.am, Estelle, Ne-Yo, Kid Cudi and Akon (on "Sexy Chick.")

A little back story on Guetta? He was born in Paris, and he began remixing vinyls and throwing parties by age 15. Guetta became club king a few years later, DJing blowouts in Paris and Ibiza. His renowned "F*** Me, I'm Famous" party in Cannes actually hosted Guetta's initial meeting with Kelly Rowland -- who was shaking her booty to Guetta's mix 'til the wee hours, until she approached Guetta in the DJ booth for a collabo. So nice when they come to you!

So, that's what you need to know about David Guetta. That, and he DJs parties bigger than your hometown. Now go remix your own version of "Sexy Chick."

I know DJ David Guetta is married with two kids and everything, but he just exudes "I get some every time I turn my head" out of every wonderfully Euro-trash pore. I even called this/made it up before his new "Sexy Chick" video, in which Guetta's "performance" consists of circling a pool party, smiling and receiving countless kisses from chicks in bikinis. If I had this on mute, I'd think I was watching a Wham video. A Wham video with Akon.

Anyway, with vocals by Akon, "Sexy Chick" is the second single from DJ Guetta's One Love album; the first single was, of course, the no-club-is-safe number "When Love Takes Over," featuring Ms. Kelly Rowland. If it's possible, "Sexy Chick" is even more club-ready than the Kelly re-inventer (a more vivid diagram of cavernous clubs, lasers, and glow sticks there never was).

And while he's loving him some Euro rave insanity, Akon keeps the "Sexy Chick" lyrics pretty clean to avoid disrespecting said "chick" and likening her to a whore. Awww! Whatta gent!

I'm so happy to see my girl Kelly Rowland shine as a performer -- not as a reality show cipher, not as Beyonce's second banana. But I never imagined she'd find her niche in dance music. Kelly has a success on her hands: DJ David Guetta's "When Love Takes Over" is a dance chart darling in Europe, and it's no surprise -- the beat and piano scream for glow sticks. While Kelly is "featured" on the Guetta track, she's front and center in the Jonas Akerlund-directed music video.

If you're unfamiliar with "When Love Takes Over" -- if you're European or gay, then I'm astonished -- now's your chance to hear Kelly push her vocals like never before.

The saturated theme gives the video a welcome dreaminess, and Kelly's gazes and coy smiles are totally hypnotic. At video's end, Kelly joins DJ Guetta in his "booth" -- I'm assuming a nod to the musical partners' initial meeting in Cannes, France.

Kelly's charisma makes this video, and for me, she had some competition: I know Kelly's performed this number for at least one Gay Pride festival, but I have seen some fierce drag queen lip-synchs to this track! You know it's tough for Kelly to top that...

Note to the extremely naive: you might want to sit down before you read on... We'll wait...

OK. Turns out Kelly Rowland didn't grow those B-cups all by herself. The now more-womanly former Destiny's Child member told People magazine that she had breast implants last October to bring her from an A- to big-girl B-cups.

Before "Ghetto," her hood status video with Snoop, Kelly Rowland got muy elegante for a super-posh upscale loft party in her "Like This" video. But now she's showin' off her laid-back side with Gym Class Heroes, and they're all setting up shop on an NYC rooftop and maxin' all chill at a house party you weren't invited to in Kelly's new up-all-night-sleep-all-day video, "Daylight."

If you're picking up on the song's golden-oldie vibe, that's 'cuz it's actually a revival of a 1976 song by the legendary Bobby Womack. (Which would explain the dated yet amusing reference to "FM music"). Kelly's version is also apparently going to be featured on the soundtrack of the upcoming movie Asterix at the Olympic Games.

Oh, and it looks like Travie was hiding something at the video shoot, by the way.
