Admittedly, we don't know much about the world of professional wrestling (you caught us). But we're going to go out on a limb and say that the cameo Mya made on "WWE Raw" to sing "Happy Birthday" to Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is not just weird, it's OMG-WTF-where-am-I? weird. What planet are we on where Mya, the Grammy Award-winning singer and dancer, comes out from nowhere to wish The Rock a happy birthday...during a wrestling show? Do these two know each other? What?!

We totally think it's cool that The Rock wants to remain loyal to the audience that made him a star by returning to the WWE ring, but who decided that Mya should show up to perform her best Marilyn Monroe "Happy Birthday" impression? And The Rock was so happy after his birthday serenade that he followed it with a guttural scream: "IF YOU SMELL WHAT THE ROCK IS COOKIN'!!!" Yes, that's how I say "Thank you" after someone sings "Happy Birthday" to me, too.

The whole thing -- just really weird. Sorry, wrestling. Sorry, The Rock. Sorry, Mya. But we don't get it. WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?

If you like vampires or Janet Jackson, today's your lucky day! No, we don't have any Twilight news to break. And, sadly, Janet hasn't leaked a new track either. But Kat Graham of "The Vampire Diaries" has, in fact, released a new song and music video for “Love Will Never Do Without An Escapade," a kick-ass track that marries two of Janet Jackson's biggest hits, "Love Will Never Do (Without You)" and "Escapade."

A series regular on "The Vampire Diaries," where she plays Bonnie Bennett, Kat doesn't plan to showcase her musical abilities on the show anytime soon. In fact, she told Hollywood Life that she prefers to keep Bonnie "as she is.  I’m nothing like her in real life.”

She does, however, remind us of Janet, as well as Ciara and Mya, meaning that the girl from that TV show about vampires may very well have a bright future ahead of her, bite marks and all.

Seems to be a minor trend going on these days of female R&B singers embracing elements of dance and electronic music in their sound. Not that this a particularly new phenomenon--from the disco days of Diana Ross to the electro-funk of Missy Elliott, the two genres have always mixed well. But there seems to be a real uptick in the stylistic cross-pollination these days. We've seen Kelly Rowland's recent foray into house music, Amerie's new techno sound, and now, Mya, embracing an '80s freestyle/electro-pop sound with her new single, "Fabulous Life."

"Fabulous Life" has been described in some circles as a J-Pop song. She released in Japan first, and she worked with acclaimed J-Pop producer Jeff Miyahara on the track. But to our ears, this jam is ready for the roller-skating rink. Whether it's in Tokyo or New York City, it's an addictive piece of dance pop stuffed with melodies.

Let's hope Mya continues in this dance-centric direction when her new album finally drops. The singer has recently been working with legendary dance producer Junior Sanchez on the album. We can't wait to hear the results.

It's not easy to compete with Madonna and Justin ripping each other's bodies apart -- literally -- on their quest to save us all (from what, though, I'm not sure) in "4 Minutes" -- which came in at #2 on today's TRL Top Collaborations countdown -- or Madonna and Britney almost-but-not-quite making out in "Me Against the Music," which made a respectable #5. But four scantily clad ladies dressed like a tramped-n-revamped version of Cirque du Sluttay -- plus Missy Elliott -- managed to edge out Madge, Brit and Justin and make history too.

Mya, Christina Aguilera -- lookin' like the bride of Frankenstein's trashier step sister, Lil' Kim -- looking surprisingly more sophisticated than usual -- and Pink, looking like the hottest ringleader evar stole the show away from the Moulin Rouge!, the movie, in 2001 when their remake of "Lady Marmalade" (LaBelle originally recorded it back in 1974) became the second song in chart history to hit number one without being released as a commercial single.

But less boring history, more grunting, gyrating, and singing about brothels.

We see you, Maino. And we see a significantly higher production value than the original "Hi Hater" video, which truly looked like it was shot on someone's Razr.

And we also see you, T.I., and you, Fabolous, and Swizz Beatz (killed it!), you, Jadakiss, and Mya, lookin' all relaxed and comfy and stuff. Welcome back, girl! Seriously, this is by far my favorite Mya collabo since "Ghetto Superstar."

Watch Maino's "Hi Hater Remix" video -- you get far more gratuitous pec shots on Maino's behalf. Looks like someone's been hittin' the Bowflex!

And speaking of "Ghetto Superstar," check out this old-school TRL clip from 1998 and marvel over how much Maino looks like Old Dirty Bastard (R.I.P!):
