After announcing their net swag surfing skills on their last video, "Dot Com," the New Boyz return with "Tie Me Down."

With a little bit of the love of Ray J., the New Boyz engage in a bit of social networking weird science, conjuring up friends and more-than-just friends with a click of a button (much like LMFAO did in their "La La La" video). Hot girls jumping though some kind of Matrix-style portal to hang out with you on your drab couch? There's an app for that. With technology like this at their fingertips, you can't possibly expect these either of these dudes to be one-woman kind of men... hence the song title.

+ Words cannot even BEGIN to describe how amazing these pics are of the crap from the foiled Michael Jackson Auction Collection (just LOOK at the picture above!!!  And remember those creepy life-size white people we told you about??) Uh. Effing. MAYzing. Especially the side-by-side comparison of MJ/Macaulay Culkin paintings. That one gave us the heebie jeebies. (Slog)

+ Hm. So, Jennifer Hudson's manager and publicist are now denying those preggie rumors we told you about yesterday. But. We're not actually hearing it from J. Hud herself. Hmmmmmmm... (Lifeline Live)

+ Oh, FOR THE LOVE! Evidently we're the only ones not watching Ray J.'s show on VH-1. It broke serious records on Monday, making it the most-watched show that day on ALL of cable, and the channel's most-watched show EVER. SIZE DOES MATTER! (Singersroom)

+ Alicia Silverstone is making a Clueless sequel? Is this even remotely a good idea, Tai?? (Star Magazine)

+ What is with all these Gossip Girl stars coming out with albums?? Now Leighton Meester?? (PopEater)

+ In case you were wondering, Tila Tequila is STILL dating bald eagle Billy Corgan. You're welcome. (Agent Bedhead)

+ We're hoping that you guys caught our favorite distress signal with red hair, Lindsay Lohan, on Ellen today. Three words: skinny, scattered, sad. What happened to the girl from The Parent Trap??? We want her back. (Scandalist)

Forget about Super Tuesday -- today's your next-to-last chance to vote for this year's Best Hip-Hop Video nominees! And since voting ends at 11 a.m. ET on Thursday (a.k.a. after your Egg McMuffin, but before your Supersized Big Mac and fries) it's probably best to get to the polls today. But first, check out our helpful rundown of the leading hip-hop contenders:

+ Maino, "Hi Hater" - An unequivocal office favorite, this song has helped us through late nights, early mornings and our daily food coma. In short, this is the song we love to hate.

+ Lil Wayne, "A Milli" - We've said it before, and we'll say it again. Anyone who can turn the phrase "I'm a venereal disease" into a chart-topping smash hit is clearly some sort of evil, diabolical genius.

+ Snoop Dogg, "Sensual Seduction" - Why? Because it's got that campy, Ladies Man thing happening. Plus, Snoop's so big pimpin' in his wardrobe that he makes Huggy Bear look like the epitome of understated refinement.

+ Flo Rida, "Low" - This vid deserves a shout-out for embodying virtually every single hip-hop stereotype, including (but not limited to) indoor shades, brightly colored tracksuits and an extremely bendy crop of female extras.

+ The Game, "Game's Pain" - Fresh Prince references! A cameo by Ice Cube! 50 Cent rocking the couture sweatband! Need we say more?

+ Ray J, "Sexy Can I" - Three words for you, Ray J: "Yes," "When?" and "Hummina hummina."

+ Lil Wayne, "Lollipop" - We love this video in spite of -- or possibly because of -- Weezy's highly questionable air guitar solo.

+ Tyga, "Coconut Juice" - Aside from making us thirsty, this video has it all: the laid-back beach vibe, the amazingly shirtless MC and the completely superfluous cameo by Pete Wentz.

+ Jay-Z, "Roc Boys (And the Winner Is)..." - This song is like the music video equivalent of Good Will Hunting. Except instead of the annoying Robin Williams character it's a glammed-out Mariah Carey. (How do you like them apples??)

+ Shwayze, "Buzzin" - The song that launched a tv show! And catapulted Shwayze and Cisco Adler to insta-fame, despite their defiant refusal to adhere to "No Shirt, No Service" signs.

+ B.o.B., "Haterz Everywhere" - We totally have that purple hoodie sweatshirt B.o.B. wears in the video! (You got it from Forever 21, right?) Also: that part where he raps "Haterz everywhere we go?" It's like he's reading our minds! No, seriously, B.o.B. -- get out of our heads.

Now, go get your vote on!

We just finished watching "Gifts," the latest non-pornographic video release from Ray J, and we gotta say, it's no "Sexy Can I." Well, that's not exactly true. It sounds an awful lot like "Sexy Can I" (the melodies are, in fact, frighteningly similar) except instead of the flashy, orange sports cars and bottles of Cris, it's basically just Ray J rolling around on his duvet. That said, the song's still slightly stuck in our head, and we enjoyed watching Brandy's pot-smoking little bro do the two-step while hammering home "gifts" as a vague metaphor for ass and bedroom prowess.

So how young is Yung Berg? He's about 21 or so, but when it comes to looking just-born and dropping Lycra-tight rhymes we really want to ask him, "How you do that there?"

The Lilliputian rapper -- you know his hit "Sexy Lady," and you've seen him in Ray-J'z "Sexy Can I" video -- seems to have actually gotten smaller and, well, younger since his 2007 EP, Almost Famous: The Sexy Lady EP, which certainly can't hurt his career; no one wants to be the old guy at the club. Or an old rapper. Unless you're Rev Run.

We can't really explain why we still can't stop watching Ray J's "Sexy Can I" video (off his upcoming album, All I Feel), but we know we've definitely seen worse from Brandy's little brother. Or at least more of him. Next to his "home movie" with Kim Kardashian, "Sexy Can I" looks like a church picnic.

And speaking of Kim, it looks like Ray J's mom is suing her for credit card fraud. Allegedly Sonja Norwood gave Kim her credit card and she never left home without it.
