To follow up the studio's critically acclaimed nature film, Earth, Disney will be releasing, Oceans. And to promote what will undoubtedly be an incredible cinematic adventure into the mysteries of the deep, Disney enlisted two of the world's foremost oceanographers, Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato.

I kid! The Sonny and Cher of Disney have actually teamed up for the single "Make A Wave," a lush ballad celebrating all the glories of the world's oceans.

Joe and Demi are pretty cute, but they've got their work cut out for them here, going up against a veritable who's who of the cutest of ocean dwellers. I mean, Demi Lovato vs. a sea otter?

Sorry, Lovato, YOU LOSE! Joe Jonas? He may be the dream date of millions of girls, but can he jump out of the sea and do a 360 twirl like a dolphin? I don't think so.

The video is super cute and full of adorable pop stars singing and sea creatures doing their sea creature business.

Disney's Oceans is in theaters April 22nd.

Shakira wandering out of a sunset wearing a somewhat see-thru sarong, playing a harmonica while tennis star Rafael Nadal sits on a chair, wistfully staring at post-apocalyptic landscape.

What!?

"Gypsy," the latest video from Shakira's She Wolf album, is a kind of Celtic ballad. It's really pretty. None of the lyrics or music would suggest what happens in this awesomely crazy video, though. The action is largely comprised of Shakira and Nadal making out and writhing around with one another. At some point, Shakira does a belly-dance routine for a shirtless Nadal, who seems pretty happy to be resting his busted-up knee in this setting.

The Jaume De La Iguana-directed clip is really just a stage for these two to get physical with one another. And while the question as to why the unbelievably hot duo are getting down in a barren wasteland never quite gets answered (there is no "story" to this video, per se), you'll probably find yourself not terribly minding.

Enjoy the belly dancing, the Irish folk music, and the heavy petting below. She Wolf is in stores now.

Word around the campfire is that Usher's still-delayed new album, Raymond vs. Raymond, is going to be the musical equivalent of tell-all book, with Usher pulling back the veil on his failed marriage with Tameka Foster.

This is, commercially and artistically, a good look for Usher, seeing as how last time he took a look in the mirror, musically speaking, it produced 2004's Confessions. That album, which was allegedly about the infidelities that crippled his relationship with T.L.C. singer Chilli, catapulted Usher to the top of the pop  heap, producing songs like "Yeah" and "Throwback."

After the light flirtations of "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)," Usher will surely get tongues wagging with "Guilty." Produced by the talented Ester Dean ("Drop It Low"), "Guilty" starts out with some TMI and never retracts, with Usher singing, "I guess I'm guilty for wanting to be up in the club, I guess I'm guilty cause girls always want to show me love, I guess I'm guilty for leaving and having a little fun."

T.I. joins in on the action, claiming, "she ain't caught me on no Tiger Woods s++t, knew what I expected when she met me."

One listen and it's clear that heartbreak and 808s are the magic formula for more artists than just Kanye West. This is probably the best Usher track since his mid-decade glory days. Raymond vs. Raymond is due out March 26th.

+ Listen to Usher, featuing T.I., "Guilty," here.

Like Jay Sean, Taio Cruz is a Brit making inroads in the American R&B scene. And like Sean, his success has been a long-time in the making.

After working for years in the shadows, writing and producing for U.K. pop acts like the Sugababes and Cheryl Cole, as well as American artists like Britney Spears, Brandy and Justin Timberlake, Cruz has stepped into the spotlight, with his breakout single, "Break Your Heart," featuring Ludacris.

"Break Your Heart," which is taken from Cruz's Rokstarr album (released in the U.K. last year, due out this year in the States) perfectly embodies Cruz's infectious, dance-floor-friendly sound and sleek, immaculate production. The same kind of surging, dance pop (think Jason Derulo and Akon) can be heard on "Dirty Picture," which features Ke$ha and is about... taking dirty pictures.

Watch Taio Cruz's "Break Your Heart" video below, and expect more big things from this rising hip-hop star.

+ Lady Gaga's music videos have become must-see TV; events unto themselves. Her nine-plus-minute epic "Telephone" clip, featuring a foul-mouthed Beyonce, certainly has tongues wagging today, and that's exactly how she wants it, telling MTV News, "I'm always trying to convolute everyone's idea of what a pop music video should be." (MTV News)

+ Chris Brown is appealing to fans to help him out with a very important cause. What cause? The health and well-being of Chris Brown's career. Brown released an audio message to his fans, asking them to call radio stations and request his songs, which he feels are not being played due to the nosedive his public image has taken in the wake of his recent Rihanna-related legal issues. (Idolator)

+ Soiled Ballet Slippers by Amy Winehouse... Because you're worth it. Yep, the "Rehab" singer is expanding her horizons, collaborating with legendary English fashion label, Fred Perry. Winehouse, when she's feeling up to it, is frequently seen wearing the brand, which has been a longtime favorite of Brit musicians, from The Specials to Oasis. (Limelife)

+ The artwork for Alicia Keys' new single, "Un-thinkable (I'm Ready)" has been leaked. And, no surprise, she looks absolutely stunning. (We Are Pop Slags)

+ Madonna was a guest judge on Jerry Seinfeld's new show The Marriage Ref. With her wealth of experience in the fields of unions and divorces, she was probably the perfect person for the gig. But that didn't stop Curb Your Enthusiasm's Larry David and Brit funnyman Ricky Gervais from poking fun at her. (Seriously? OMG! WTF?!)

While "Telephone" isn't my favorite of her extended-play/ long-version cinematic videos (my favorite being "Paparazzi"), and it doesn't trump the stunning effects and shock and awe of "Bad Romance," it's certainly the funniest and most satirical work Gaga's done. A play on mid-century TV commercials? Gaga and Beyonce as a Bonnie and Clyde killer duo? All. That. Tarantino? Knowing winks at the camera? CHOMPING ON A HONEYBUN? What's not to love? For as intense as Gaga can be, she's clearly got a lighter side, and that biting wit is laced throughout the tongue-in-cheek video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund.

Okay. Enough me. More you... you watching "Telephone." Did it live up to your expectations?

And speaking of hearts, Justin Bieber probably broke every heart at the Hollywood Palladium when he played a swoon-filled Valentine's Day concert. Check out this footage of the characteristically chill Bieber rolling into the Palladium and discussing My World 2.0 before his big show on Valentine's Day. And pre-order Justin's new album, My World 2.0, and watch Justin Bieber's exclusive QVC QSessions Live performance again tonight at 10pm ET on QVC.

Yesterday we got to know the mood-swinging punk rock of A Day To Remember, who are riding high off the success of their album, Homesick. And today? Well feast your eyeballs on this sneak peek of A Day To Remember's upcoming video for "I'm Made Of Wax, Larry, What Are You Made Of?" nabbed from a line in A Night At The Museum.

A bunch of you fine folks jumped on the comments of yesterday's post and begged to see the video a couple days ahead of its March 16th MTV2/ mtvU premiere. While we can't do that (sorry!), we can give you a solid sneak peek.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this one is gonna be tons of fun. Looks like we get a mixture of performance footage (they excel at performing!) and classic hijinx in the form of a kickball game, which they look slightly less ready for. There's also some lingering shots on kickball cheerleaders, which I did not know existed.

So check out the sneak peek video below, and be sure to tune in to MTV2 and MTVu on March 16 for the premiere of A Day To Remember's "I'm Made Of Wax ..." video.

I know what you're doing this summer! And it has nothing to do with Jennifer Love Hewitt! The world's best twin, folk-pop duo, Tegan & Sara and the best female-fronted rock band from Nashville, Paramore, are teaming up to to bring some rock and roll (and some delicate harmonies and interesting haircuts) to the towns and cities of America this summer.

Tegan Quin recently took to her band's site to announce this momentous meeting of the musical minds. "We first heard about Paramore a few years ago and have been HUGE fans ever since," she says. "Their new record, Brand New Eyes, is one of our favorite releases of the year, and we're already practicing our dance moves in preparation for the tour."

Well, that pretty much says it all! We, too, love Paramore. Brand New Eyes is one of our favorite releases of the year, and we already have the dance moves down pat.

The tour starts July 23 in Raleigh, North Carolina, and will hit about 30 cities across the United States. Tickets go on sale March 22. Check Paramore's site for more info.

To celebrate this awesome news, peep Tegan & Sara's "The Con" and Paramore's "That's What You Get" below. See you in the pit!
