This new Lloyd Banks video is incredibly economical in how it delivers a ton of info in just a matter of seconds. Within the first few opening frames, we learn that Lloyd Banks sleeps in PJ bottoms with the windows open, that he fancies himself something of a sensitive singer-songwriter (peep the acoustic hanging on the wall) and that he has himself a "shorty" concierge who calls to alert him that his girlfriend is on the way home. So he better clean up his romantic crime scene, scrubbing off all evidence of infidelity.

We also learn that he's friends with R&B sensation Lloyd, which must be hell when they're out in public together and people shout, "LLOYD!" and they both look up.

Anyway this banger's video, courtesy of J. Jesse Smith, finds Lloyd & Lloyd doing it up at a party with a disturbingly out-of-balance girl-to-guy ratio. They seem to be managing somehow. Frankly with a track this addictive it could be a film strip highlighting water treatment processes, and it would still go hard.

"Any Girl" is off of Lloyd Banks' Hunger For More 2. Check out the video below.

As if the kids at MTV's Spring Break celebrations needed any encouragement to shed clothing and dance like they were extras in "Footloose," Young Money brought the bouncing beats of their hit "Bedrock" to the party in Acapulco, much to the obvious delight of the crowd.

While Lil Wayne might be otherwise engaged, the rest of the crew more than held it down for their boss. With Nicki Minaj and Drake leading the way, they had the crowd shouting out lines ("GROCERY BAG!") and harmonizing with the angelic/devilsh Lloyd-sung chorus (even though Lloyd wasn't present for the proceedings). Nicki especially gets to Hanna-Barbera levels of animation while ripping her verse.

Be sure to check out all the live videos taken from MTV's Spring Break in Acapulco, featuring performances from Ludacris, Pitbull, B.o.B. and more.

This is gonna be one helluva farewell party.

Details are sketchy at the moment, but here's what we know: Sunday evening, November 16 there will be a huge special filled with big stars and awesome memories of a decade of the pop cultural phenomenon that is TRL.

And if you watched TRL today, you'd know that the first confirmed performer for the big party is none other than bona fide superstar Beyonce (whose new videos "If I Were a Boy" and "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" got their world premiere on MTV.com yesterday). If you didn't watch, well, now you know, now don't you? As more guests are confirmed for the finale, we'll post the info here on Buzzworthy, so be sure to come back often for the latest updates.

And keep your eyes on TRL on MTV, too. Starting a week from today (Tuesday, October 21), Damien and Lyndsey will begin the countdown to the finale by celebrating some of the most awesome moments that have been part of the show for 10 years. Each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday leading up to the finale, they'll be looking back at the biggest guests, insane moments, killer performances and more.

In the meantime, weigh in on your favorite TRL memories on the TRL message boards and check out some of those amazing TRL live performances, including Sara Bareilles' "Love Song" and Lloyd's "Girls Around the World" after the jump. Read more...

Ever since we first saw Lloyd's mercury-busting "Around the World" video, we've been wanting to hit him with the quintessential (albeit admittedly lame) interview question: boxers or briefs? But thanks to this exclusive clothing-optional photo shoot, we finally have our answer.

And that's not the only thing about this bondage-friendly pictorial that might surprise you. We also learned that Lloyd enjoys playing with duct tape, kicking our photog in the face, nibbling on his neck piece, and wearing his pants on his head.

So check out the rest of our exclusive Lloyd photo sesh and see why the ladies love to love the Lloyd.

+ A new, analogy-filled cover story describes maybe-exes Nick Jonas and Miley Cyrus as the "Charles and Di" of Magic Kingdom, and says "middle child Joe [looks like] a prettier version of the actor Peter Gallagher." We wholeheartedly agree on both counts. (Rolling Stone)

+ Bow Wow describes the inherent difficulties he faced in an upcoming Entourage cameo. "I'm playing a character named Charlie who is an up-and-coming comedian," says Bow Wow, "which is different for me, because I'm not really a comedian." True dat. (MTV)

+ Nas' new album, "Untitled," bumps Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" out of the top-spot on the Billboard 200 chart. The upside of being demoted to #2? Lil Wayne will finally have time to explain that whole "I'm a venereal disease" metaphor. (Billboard)

+ Dr. Dre's Detox is a lot like Rev. Run's Boneless Chicken Dinner: Currently, it's all talk. (Idolator)

+ A country cover of Green Day? Thanks, but no thanks. (Stereogum)

+ Ryan Seacrest is disproportionately excited about Chris Cornell's new song. (Best Week Ever)

+ Ben Folds reveals what was going through his mind after his divorce: "I came out of the courthouse, kissed the ground, and walked straight into the studio." (Webster is my Bitch)

+ As one (female) interviewer quickly discovers, R&B singer Lloyd is "a pretty smooth talker." (Neon Limelight)

+ Amy Winehouse's beehive, tattoos and skintight mini-dress will live on forever...thanks to the enterprising folks over at Madame Tussaud's. (People)

What do all the girls around the world -- or at least the ones in Lloyd's new video -- have in common besides skimpy Day-Glo dominatrix outfits (i.e. Britney Spears during her red/pleather "Martian" phase) and stripper moves? For starters, they all (literally) have stars in their eyes! Good thing Lil Wayne had the foresight to bring his sunglasses.

And you know, it's that commitment to realism (and proper retinal care) that makes Lloyd's "Girls Around The World," so damn entertaining -- though the girls' seemingly endless supply of painted-on bathing suits, Cover Girl foundation and pouty stares don't hurt, either. Also awesome? The video (directed by visionary Hype Williams) bears an uncanny resemblance to Janet Jackson's "Feedback" while the melody plays like an R&B remix of Milli Vanilli's trademark lip-synch, "Girl You Know It's True." (Who knew Lloyd was so eclectic??)
