Another day, another border run. In today's installment of live performance videos from MTV's Spring Break 2010 in Acapulco, we bring you more Ludacris, a performance from up-and-coming Atlanta MC B.o.B., and wrap things up with a turn from Pitbull.

With two dancers rocking outstanding neon tank tops, Luda breaks the speed limit on his Battle Of The Sexes single, "How Low." The second clip finds Pitbull stirring the Spring Breaking crowd into an absolute frenzy. The Miami MC is clearly an energetic performer, as you can see his button-down drenched in sweat. Props for having a full band with him, which definitely adds a bit to the casual hook-up ode, "Hotel Room Service." Finally we have, B.o.B., who gets heavenly with his afterlife anthem, "I'll Be In The Sky."

Spring Break is a time for America's students to let their hair down, bear down on a few brain cells with some responsibly consumed beverages, and generally rock out. But no matter where you celebrated your Spring Break, you really weren't doing it right, unless you were doing it with MTV.

This year, our traveling circus went down Acapulco to entertain throngs of young adults with the sounds of young America. With master of ceremonies (if not subtlety) Funkmaster Flex presiding, a bunch of great acts packed their bags and brought their music south of the border to the delight of Spring Breakers in attendance.

Below, we have the first batch of great live videos culled from MTV's Spring Break. Check out Ludacris and Nicki Minaj performing their single, "My Chick Bad," Drake taking his new song "Over" out for a test drive and Trey Songz doing a live demonstration of his "I Invented Sex."

Buzz Bites (3/22/10): Ludacris Says Justin Bieber Is A Shy Guy

Filed under justin bieber, Ludacris by on March 22, 2010 at 11:12 am {no comments}

+ Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 drops tomorrow. It will no doubt be a smash, fueled by Bieber's incredible charm and personality. But according to Ludacris, Bieber's a bit of a wallflower when you first meet him. The Atlanta rapper worked with Justin on their single, "Baby," and according to Luda, ""When I first met Justin, man, I felt like he's definitely a little shy at first. I understand. I'm kind of the same way till I get comfortable with my surroundings, and then it's just all out, just wild." (MTV News)

+ Avril Lavigne seems to be patching things up with her husband Deryck Whibley. Lavigne and the Sum 41 guitarist/singer sealed the deal the way any respectable, loving couple would: they got tipsy and tattooed. This being 2010, these events were obviously filmed and uploaded to the Internet. Ah, young love. (TMZ)

+ One couple who will likely not be getting back together is Lady Gaga and her ex-boyfriend Rob Fusari. Seems Gaga's astronomical rise to fame h$as ruffled Fusari's feathers a bit; he's suing her for $30 million, claiming that he came up with the name "Lady Gaga," and that he's contractually due revenue from merchandise and album sales. (Idolator)

+ Snoop Dogg's appearance at South By South West was apparently a smoking success. The legendary Long Beach MC ran through his huge catalog of hits, playing everything from "Gin And Juice" to his recent smash, "I Wanna Rock." The usually subdued D-O-Double-G then got the crowd barking a little louder with a cover of House Of Pain's "Jump Around." (Spinner)

+ Here's some good news to tide the Gleeks over while they wait patiently for their high school musical to return on April 13th: talks are currently being held to turn Glee into a Broadway musical. The producers of Legally Blonde and Hairspray want to bring the hit show to the Great White Way. (Limelife)

+ Do we ever get sick of seeing Kevin Jonas and wifey Danielle hold hands and shop? Uh, NO. (I'm Not Obsessed)

+ Just like we never get sick of seeing Katy Perry and Russell Brand wear matching flipflops. (Just Jared)

Song You Need To Know: Justin Bieber, ‘U Smile’

Filed under justin bieber, Ludacris, Twitter by on March 16, 2010 at 12:29 pm {no comments}

Twitter God and Ludacris mentor Justin Bieber is on a roll. I wish I could take him to a craps table and have him just stand next to me for luck. Except that would be illegal because he is 16. In any case, things are only going to get bigger and brighter for the Canadian heartthrob/pop sensation with his new release, My World 2.0, due out this time next week.

We've heard a few songs from My World 2.0 so far, including the shuffling R&B of "Never Let You Go" and the sugary pop of "Baby." Now we get a mid-tempo ballad in the form of "U Smile."

Justin's best songs always have one special ingredient: the juxtaposition of his innocent vocals with hard, hip-hop drums. Even on "U Smile," a piano-driven piece of pop, a solid rhythm still lies underneath.

"U Smile" holds a place close to Bieber's heart, as the young pop pinup recently tweeted, "I wrote it for all my fans who got me here. U took me from a small town in Canada to this amazing opportunity I am living now."

"U Smile" is currently available on iTunes. My World 2.0 is out March 23.
