With Def Jam celebrating 30 years as hip-hop's most storied record label, it's only fitting that one of its banner artists, Redman, has some big things brewing for nostalgic rap fans.

First up for the Funk Doctor Spock is the third installment of Blackout! his popular collaborative album series with longtime partner in rhyme, Method Man. With a laundry lists of classic tracks like ""Da Rockwilder," "How High" and "A-YO" on their collabo curriculum vitae, it's no wonder fans are chomping at the bit for another sonic bite of that '90s-era flow.

"We gon' do Blackout! 3," Redman assured MTV News backstage at Def Jam's 30th Anniversary showcase at SXSW. "RZA, Erick Sermon, get y'all asses up! Rockwilder, get yo muthaf--kin' ass up! We need a Blackout! 3 album. Once we get our beats from RZA, Erick Sermon and Rockwilder, then we can take other producers that wanna be a part of the Redman and Method Man experience."

For fans of the classic LP Muddy Waters, Red has a sequel of sorts in the works that'll bring back that old hip-hop love affair with samples.

"I'm coming out with a Muddy Waters 2. It's gon be called Even Muddier. I'm not trying to top the Muddy Waters album. What I'm doing by naming it Muddy Waters 2 is to let you relive that '90s kind of sound and experience," he said, referring to the beats he's choosing for the follow-up. "It's not gonna be sounding too much New Wave. Not too much high hats, you know the fast high hats? None of ...

Call off the dogs: Courtney Love has a lead on that missing Malaysian Airlines plane.

Nine days after flight MH370 went missing, the Hole frontwoman took to Facebook to share her theory, pointing to an ocean-view photo and claiming, "I'm no expert, but up close this does look like a plane and an oil slick."

The Beijing-bound Boeing 777, carrying 239 passengers, disappeared on March 8. The last signal received from the craft came in at 1:19 a.m., with the co-pilot stating, "All right, good night" to air traffic controllers. Immediately following, the transponder was shut down.

Love followed up her photographic proof with some hard facts, citing "It's like a mile away, Pulau Peak, where they 'last' tracked it, 5°39'08.5"N 98°50'38.0"E, but what do I know?"

The last confirmed siting of MH370's location was noted at 2:14 a.m. by military radar as it headed west over the Strait of Malacca, and an additional satellite record at 8:11 a.m. indicated a faint, final "ping" from the disabled ACARS system.

Theories surrounding the whereabouts of the missing craft have run the gamut from piracy and terrorism to alien abductions. Although it feels unlikely Courtney Love would solve the mystery, she's only aiding search efforts by searching through the satellite image database at tomnod.com.

We're sure many people were upset when Chris Brown was ordered to spend a month in jail after violating his probation.

But no one seemed quite as despondent as fellow pop sensation Ariana Grande, who took to Twitter shortly after the news spread Monday afternoon to say: "Oy vey."

You see, the Yours Truly singer got "buttaflies" working on a long-simmering collaboration with Brown, a joint called "Don't Be Gone Too Long." After weeks of teasing fans with curious tweets and one intimate Instagram photo of the pair in dance rehearsals, the two formally kicked off a countdown to the duet on Sunday, just one day before a judge ordered him back behind bars.

Naturally, that countdown is going to have to be pushed back.

"sooo.... i have bad news and good news.... but just please keep in mind how much i love you and how i wish more than you do that this wasn't the case... ok so.... my loves... so obviously some things have changed recently... so we have to delay the dbgtl countdown... some things are out of our control," Grande said in a series of tweets Monday afternoon.

The "The Way" singer was fiercely apologetic to her fans, saying "nothing upsets me more than upsetting you" and "i love you and I wish there was something I could do," even making it up to them by giving them a preview of some music via an Instagram video straight from the recording studio. She wouldn't tell us what track it is, but Brown doesn't drop any lines in ...
