So this is... different. If you'd told us last week that we'd be telling you about a collabo between T-Pain, Lily Allen and Wiz Khalifa we'd have told you to please remove yourself from our personal space. But, alas -- Lily Allen, T-Pain and Wiz have joined forces on a collabo song called "5 O'Clock." If you're thinking this tune already sounds vaguely familiar, that's because it does. "5 O'Clock" is a variation of Lily Allen's song, “Who’d Have Known,” off her sophomore album, It's Not Me, It's You.

"5 O'Clock" opens with Lily's cheeky hook, and it's backed by a mellow hip-hop beat. Then, true to form, T-Pain pops in with his signature Auto-Tuned vocals. While Lily's original hook sweetly talks about waiting patiently for her man in bed, T-Pain switches it up: His lyrics are all about hooking up in da club and partying hard, duhhh. He sings, " 'Cause you've been waiting on me since I said that I was heading to the club.../Like, gorgeous get your ass up in that car, and come get all of this love." Wiz chimes in later with some slick rhymes, because you know how Wiz Khalifa does.

"5 O'Clock" is slated to appear on T-Pain's forthcoming album RevolveR. Stay tuned for the video, shot recently in Amsterdam, due out this month.

+ Listen to T-Pain featuring Lily Allen and Wiz Khalifa, "5 O'Clock."

+ NOT using f-bombs regarding his Best New Artist nod is VMA nominee Wiz Khalifa. Everything's gravy with the "Black And Yellow" rapper, as he told MTV news: "I think it's really good competition, and it's just a good sign of the new wave of how an artist can come up and get recognition these days." That's what we call "exemplary sportsmanship." (MTV News)

Eliza Doolittle's stage name may bring to mind the salons and drawing rooms of "My Fair Lady," but in reality this British singer's sound is very much a product of London's multicultural present. Growing up in the vibrant Camden neighborhood of London, Eliza (born Eliza Caird) makes music that reflects the sound of her surroundings, incorporating hip-hop, Caribbean and dance influences into her traditional radio-pop sound.

It's no shock that Eliza has adopted a stage name, if not a sort of persona, as her parents both have backgrounds in the theater. However, musically, Doolittle is refreshingly straightforward in her delivery.

With songs that will remind some of Lily Allen, she navigates the often funny, sometimes heartbreaking minutiae of modern love. Songs like "Pack Up," which saunters along with a sunny beat and whistling, find Doolittle being followed by a rainy cloud: "I get tired, and upset, and I’m trying to care a little less. When I Google I only get depressed."

Check out Eliza Doolittle's music and her adorable "Skinny Genes" video. Her self-titled EP, featuring "Pack Up," is out now. Look for a full-length album later this year.

Welcome back from the weather, everyone! Here's a toast to the last "10 To Know" of the year! Oh, you're the designated driver, you say? Well, okay. We'll just clap.

1.) Is 50 Cent falling on hard times? The rapper took to the streets during Snowpocalypse 2010 to SHOVEL houses for $100 a pop. He should've charged $0.50 to stay on brand. (JustJared)

2.) Speaking of Snowpocalypse, aren't blizzards a snowman's most favorite thing ever? Buzzfeed has pics of 30 drunken snowmen who celebrated their good fortune a little too much. (Buzzfeed)

3.) Videogum basically did my job for me this week and rounded up all of 2010 biggest and most beloved viral videos in one concise listing. (Videogum)

4.) 2010 has turned out to be the year of a bajillion celebrity engagements! We can now add to the rolls: LeAnn Rimes, Lily Allen (yeah, that happened two seconds ago), Natalie Portman, Hugh Hefner (yuck), Ginnifer Goodwin, Jason Mraz, Bret Michaels, and Shania Twain. Who'd I miss? Oh, and Natalie gets bonus points for also being preggo. By the way. Rihanna? Not engaged. She and Matt Kemp broke up.

5.) A just-surfaced handwritten note by one teenage Amy Winehouse reveals that the future superstar dreamed of one day getting her teeth fixed and owning a tanning bed. Between that and her gravity-defying poof, I think we've got a solid case for at least one season of "Jersey Shore: London." (The Sun)

6.) THIS JUST IN! Celebrities like to get crunk and tweet about it! People has prodigiously assembled a gallery of famous people, among them Katy Perry and Lady Gaga, tipping their glasses. (People)

7.) Gawker has this handy mashup of all the year's best pop songs in a neat 3 minutes and 18 seconds, with Ke$ha landing serious real estate. (Gawker)

8.) Check out my favorite song of the year, "Whip My Hair," performed on ice by a mini Willow Smith--who is already rully small, so imagine how teeny this tiny ice dancer is! (Buzzfeed)

9.) This is what it looks like when a cat puts on a bunny hat.

10.) Sir Elton John is a baby-daddy. Mazel, ya'll! (MTV News)
