If the sexified hair and glasses didn't convey this already, LMFAO's Sky Blu has some serious good taste: In the group's new video, "La La La," inspired by the late John Hughes, Redfoo, with some intense keyboard tappage, programs the ultimate "virtual woman" experience, Weird Science-style; and Sky Blu chooses Chelsea Korka from The Paradiso Girls (that's my girl!) for his first go-around.

Overall, the video's a hilarious composite of '80s concepts of the future, in all their neon pixelated glory. For the uninitiated, I would describe LMFAO as a cross between Chromeo and Brett and Jemaine from Flight of The Conchords. The late John Hughes inspired the LMFAO "La La La" video, and in a strange and sad turn of events, Redfoo and Sky Blu actually spoke to MTV's Tim Kash about their Weird Science concept, unknowingly, on the day Hughes died.

Also, point of contention: Chelsea's look lends itself to more of a '90s feel than an '80s look -- girl is channeling some straight-up Kelly Kapowski from Saved By The Bell. You can see it, right? That is straight hotness, Chels. (And the booty shake? To think Robin Antin said you couldn't dance...)


We've got SO much to discuss regarding internationally-flavored group Paradiso Girls. I will try to remain composed, but I have such an investment in these girls that I may chick out at some point...

Let's ease in with the video for "Patron Tequila," from the quintet's debut album, Crazy Horse... Wait, first I want some credit: I was an early adopter of this track, even texting uninterested parties: I am obsessed with this ridiculous song that Keri Hilson wrote about puking from margaritas ... which is what "Patron Tequila is about.

Watch the video below for a little Eve and Lil Jon, as well as Paradiso's hip-thrusting fiend of a lead vocalist (on this track), Aria Crescendo. Now it's cool each of the five Paradiso Girls is of a separate nationality, but I'm only going to discuss two: Aria, born in Paris, raised in Transylvania (I didn't make that up), and Chelsea Korka, the group's sole United States-ian.

I remember Aria from a gay-ish music video a few years back, "Girl I Told Ya" by Valeria (just gay-ish, as in Katy Perry, wink-wink, we-might-be-two-girls-who-actually-hook-up-at-"sleepovers" gay).

Now here comes my inappropriate investment: Chelsea, if she looks familiar to you, was straight-up robbed on the first season of The Pussycat Dolls: The Search for The Next Doll. I didn't watch -- I couldn't watch -- Season 2 of that show out of outrage and protest. Chelsea was my girl; now, as a Paradiso, sweet revenge is MINE!

Anyway, like The Pussycat Dolls, Paradiso Girls is a Robin Antin production, and it was sort of built around Aria. Working with Interscope and will.i.am, Paradiso auditioned and recruited the four other members you see now. Since then, the girls scored a featured spot on DJ Space Cowboy's "Falling Down" and made their TV debut on LOGO's 2009 NewNowNext Awards. Check out the live performance, with a lead-in from none other than RuPaul. Whut?

By the way, just one year ago, Lady GaGa made her TV debut on the NNN Awards. Could be a good sign...
