This dapper dude is still single, ladies.
Honestly, thank goodness for Twitter. I know, I say this all the time. But how the hell else are we gonna find out about CRUCIAL WORLD NEWS? Case in point: Lil Wayne's engagement rumors! Weezy basically caused a Twitterpocalypse when he tweeted something mysterious early this morning: "She said yes!"
She said yes!
— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 15, 2012
So then everyone was all, "OMG WEEZY'S ENGAGED" and bottles were popped, and threatening letters from female fans to his girlfriend Dhea were already stamped and ready to go. But Lil Wayne just cleared up the whole scenario: "I meant 'she said yes' to being my valentine!!!"
Ohhhhhhh now I see why!I meant "she said yes" to being my valentine!!! Hahahahahahaha! Y'all krazy! — Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 15, 2012
So all is right again with the world, and Lil Wayne is not engaged. Jeez, I wish my tweets were this popular. How many followers do you need for people to start actually sending you at replies? Still waiting to make that milestone.

Lil Wayne's been showcasing his sensitive side lately. He recently took us on an emotional roller coaster in the graphic "How To Love" video, and now he's pairing up with Bruno Mars, emo crooner extraordinaire, for an equally expressive tale, "Mirror."
We immediately learn two things right off the bat: Lil Wayne doesn't mind going shirtless to prove he's just as vulnerable as the next guy, and bro has A LOT of tattoos. Like, his tattoos are probably getting together and having tattoo babies while he's sleeping -- not an ounce of blank canvas left! Even though his ink doesn't exactly give off an "I'm sentimental, I promise" vibe, the angelic lighting and innocent stares into the camera make us want to go out for ice cream and talk about puppies with Weezy.
And just in case being a poetic lyricist isn't touching enough for you, we catch the diamond-grilled rapper going all Jackson Pollock on us -- throwing, spraying and swirling red paint in every direction -- while Bruno Mars makes dramatic hand gestures during the choruses. These dudes have feelings, guys.
+ Watch Lil Wayne Featuring Bruno Mars, "Mirror."

Sorry, Hanson's brilliant "Blues Brothers"-inspired "Thinking 'Bout Somethin'," but I have a new favorite music video. Ke$ha recently uploaded the visual accompaniment to her "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier," and there are so, so many things to like about it! I will tell you about them!
The glitter princess chose to sit this video out and instead enlist the help of a couple senior citizens, Pedro from "Napoleon Dynamite," and a gaggle of drag queens. They all come together to lip-synch verses from T.I., Lil Wayne, Andre 3000 and Wiz Khalifa, while a large African-American man with a mohawk won the prized role of Ke$ha. I know, you already like the video and you haven't even seen it.
There isn't too much rhyme or reason to what's going on in "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier," but it's not like you need it -- there's just something about an old man playing chess in a park and ABSOLUTELY SLAYING T.I.'s verse that really makes our hearts flutter. I mean, when's the last time you saw a 65-year-old in a wheelchair mouthing the words "Bitch, my swagger supernatural/Get you pregnant lookin' at you"? (Hopefully never.)
+ Watch Ke$ha's "Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier" video. (Language NSFW.)
Sure, I totally get that pop stars have to have a few regular friends, but I mostly think famous people just wanna be friends with other famous people. Why? Common ground! Take me, for example: I have no clue what it feels like to have private planes at my disposal, a famous boyfriend or a closet full of pricey clothes. But BFF's Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez can talk and bond about these things!
Demi totally understands how hard it is to date a dude in the limelight and can advise Selena on how to properly shoo away female groupies. And Selena totally understands what it's like having too many clothes in her closet and can let Demi in on where to purchase the most efficient and space-saving hangers! #PopStarProblems

OK, yes, Lil Wayne is Nicki Minaj's boss. And OK, yes, they probably did! may or may not have hooked up. But we're still calling them BFFs! I mean, just look at the love right there. Nicki's about to give her bossman a big ol' smooch on the cheek, and she's making sure to capture the magical moment on her BlackBerry. And Weezy is just chilling the eff out with an expensive cigar, but what else is new?
