  1. Obsessively blogging about pop music, pop videos, pop stars, and pop culture from inside the MTV headquarters in Times Square. We also have a slight Jonas Brothers problem. And a little fixation with Tokio Hotel.

Okay, between us, Drake even told ME I'M the best. I'm beginning to think Drake gives all the girls the "you're the best" treatment.

Donna and Ruby Ibarra, two sisters from California, and their friend Anna De Guzman -- they're sheselle on YouTube -- covered Drake's "Best I Ever Had" and gave it the song a whole new not-just-boobs-and-basketball feminine twist. And they even threw in some Filipino pride with a verse in Tagalog. A verse that Ruby wrote!

We've had their Drake cover on repeat here on the 17th floor of MTV.com, and when I played it for one of the designers here, his response was "I thought it was gonna be like a joke. These girls can sing." Someone needs to sign these ladies. I believe there's a blank space on the Young Money roster where Omarion's name used to be, right?

Lil Wayne's tour bus is dark and cold, and it's not all that easy to tell what's going on. But it makes sense that Weezy likes it like that. Dark and twisted. But it also makes it tough to tell exactly what we got here.

This Buzzworthy video interview, shot before his MTV Spring Break performance, is a Young Money ensemble interview, featuring answers from Jae Millz, Gutta Gutta, Lil Twist, Nikki Minaj, Lil Chucky, and Shanell -- the lyricist behind "Prom Queen."

More importantly, this royal panel puts to rest major questions like, "Who would you like to see in a bathing suit?" And "Who would carry Lil Wayne's Grammys at the beach?" The stand-out moment is when Wayne introduces Shanell, "his Grammy," and gets all soft on the lady MC.

For a little taste of what it's like to live like Lil Wayne, take a look at the video below. For a big taste, tune into FN Spring Break Rules at 8PM EST, tonight!

I had a conversation recently with one of the bands who played MTV Spring Break 2009 -- probably better not to tell you which one -- and among the glory stories, was one of waking up on the beach between two beautiful women, both of whom were rubbing his head affectionately. If that's what the morning is like at Spring Break, can you imagine the night?!? Well, you won't have to imagine anything much longer. Tonight FNMTV returns to take you directly to the thick of this year's Spring Break at its baddest!

I can't promise that you'll get your head rubbed. That's up to you. But I can absolutely guarantee that you'll be throwin' elbows and your head back as the crowd gets down to live performances by...

Lil Wayne

Asher Roth

Jim Jones

Kid Cudi

N.E.R.D featuring Santigold

Flo Rida

All-American Rejects

You'd have a hard time coming up with a lineup that good on the bestseller rack at a record store. But then, I guess you'd also have a hard time finding a record store! OH SNAP! But who needs one when all the hottest action on earth is cookin' out in that Panama City Beach sunshine, just waiting for you to join in?

Then tune in tonight at 8pm ET to see what it's all been building up to!
