Wiz Khalifa is prepping his 5th album, Blacc Hollywood, for release before the end of 2014 but the Taylor Gang rapper also has a few more tricks up his sleeve. A new Taylor Gang compilation is on the horizon, as well as the sequel to "Mac & Devin Go to High School" with Snoop Dogg. Wiz broke down his upcoming projects during Wednesday's episode of

New Single "We Dem Boyz"
Earlier this month, Wiz dropped "We Dem Boyz," the first official single from his upcoming LP Blacc Hollywood. "I love the energy of that song, it's just so fun and every time it comes on I go crazy, so I figured everybody else would too," he said. "Detail is the producer on it and he's so on right now, so we just made it happen." And the video is coming soon, of course. "We're gonna shoot the video in two weeks, I'm gonna go down south somewhere and eat some good food. [It'll have] definitely a lot of energy, because I wanna touch the people. Everybody who knows me, know I keep it simple. So [there will be] a lot of real people in the video."

"Drop It Down On It" Teaser
After premiering "We Dem Boyz," the Pittsburgh rapper also previewed a snippet of another song called "Drop It Down On It," without revealing where it would actually end up. "That's for my album Blacc Hollywood, which is gonna drop before the end of this year," he confirmed. Wiz joked that the song was made specifically for girls to ...

Lily Allen has proven time and time again that she's not afraid to take a few shots at music's biggest names (and, uh, Azealia Banks) ... but her latest move may be her boldest to date: she's playfully swiping at Kanye West.

According to several reports, during her upcoming appearance on BBC One's "The Graham Norton Show" (which airs in the UK Friday night), Allen will reveal that she's calling her third album Sheezus, a none-too-subtle salute to West's most recent record.

"It's a confident title choice and a little nod to Kanye West," Allen tells Norton.

Confident, indeed. Of course, there's still no word on how West feels about Allen's homage (he's too busy proclaiming himself to be one of the greatest MCs of all time,) or, really, if Allen's album is actually called Sheezus ... reps for the singer did not respond to MTV News' request for comment by press time.

Then again, that title seems to fit with the cool, confident tone Allen is setting for her upcoming album: take, for example, the sublimely scathing single which snapped at the sexual politics at play in society and the music business.

There's still no release date set for Sheezus (or whatever the album is called); though late last year, a rep for Allen told MTV News she was working with frequent collaborator Greg Kurstin in the studio, and that the duo were "finishing up" the record for release in 2014.

On January 16, polarizing ladyblog Jezebel offered a $10,000 bounty on unretouched images from "Lena Dunham's Vogue cover shoot; a stunt that left a lot of people wondering if Dunham would have something to say in response.

The answer? Yes, she does. And ooh, it's scathing.

First, the backstory: Jezebel made the internet an offer it couldn't refuse, in the form of a $10,000 reward for unretouched versions of the photos from Dunham's big, glamorous feature spread in Vogue's February issue.

It didn't take long for the pics to surface: 24 hours later a post went up proclaiming, "Here Are the Unretouched Images from Lena Dunham's Vogue Shoot," with accompanying side-by-side comparisons of the portraits before and after they'd been digitally altered. Jezebel's decision to call for these photos — as opposed to those of some other celebrity — almost certainly hinged on the hypothesis that Dunham, who looks decidedly unlike a conventional, cookie-cutter Hollywood starlet would need a particularly major makeover in post-production before she was fit for the pages of Vogue. And so it was interesting (and not a little gratifying) to discover that actually, the alluring shots of the actress and director had barely been altered at all. The biggest surprise: The pigeon in this photo was digitally added after the fact — which probably had less to do with Vogue's beauty standards and more to do with the fact that pigeons poop roughly every six seconds.

Meanwhile, Dunham's response at the time was largely confined to a single, dry tweet suggesting ...

Pharrell Williams is primed to drop his second solo album, G I R L, on March 3, and, according to a newly posted tracklist, it's going to be a big old reunion for Skateboard P. Yup, the record will include contributions from past collaborators and heavy-hitters including Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, Daft Punk and Alicia Keys.

Noisey posted the tracklist for Pharrell's new record Friday (February 21), a list replete with girl-referencing titles ("Marilyn Monroe," "Lost Queen," and "It Girl") in keeping with the album's title.

"Women have been so good to me over this entire career and they've done so much for my family," Pharrell told BBC Radio 1 with regard to the title. "Everything I've ever gotten is because they've paid for [it], so they're, like, my bosses — indirectly and directly — you guys are like my bosses. So for me, I wanted to analyze that for a second."

Prior to this announcement, we already knew that the album would include "Despicable Me 2" soundtrack hit and Oscar-nominated jam "Happy." We also could have guessed that it would feature tons of guest stars; his 2006 debut, In My Mind, included appearances by Gwen Stefani, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, Charlie Wilson, Pusha T, Nelly and Slim Thug.

G I R L's tracklist, however, reads like a "This Is Your 2013" for Skateboard P, reprising match-ups with last year's big hitmakers. The only collaborator missing, it seems, is Robin Thicke. Maybe he'll catch P on the remix?

While we're all waiting for more info ...

In the closest we've gotten to a confirmation that Marvel Studios is working on a cinematic version of their Sorcerer Supreme "Doctor Strange," The Hollywood Reporter is Hollywood reporting that the studio will be meeting with four directors this week.

Doctor Strange, for those with less than a passing knowledge of the over half a century old comics character, was created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko. In the comics, Dr. Stephen Strange is an arrogant but brilliant surgeon who gets in a drunken car crash and loses the use of his hands. To get them back, he travels to visit the mystical Ancient One, a man who eventually trains him in the mystic arts. Though Strange initially rebels, over time he revokes his arrogance and gains the title of Sorcerer Supreme.

So basically, "Iron Man" but with magic.

According to the report, the directors Marvel is looking at are: Mark Andrews ("Brave"); Nikolaj Arcel ("A Royal Affair"); Dean Israelite ("Welcome to Yesterday"); and Jonathan Levine ("Warm Bodies," "50/50").

In addition, the studio may be looking to court Jon Aibel and Glenn Berger, the duo behind "Kung Fu Panda" to write the script. Which, given their experience with having an arrogant main character who travels to a remote dojo to learn mystical skills before learning to care for others seems pretty on the nose.

The director choices, on the other hand, are all over the map. Here's what we think each one might bring to the project:

1. Jonathan Levine
At least around the MTV offices, Levine is the number one ...

Are you suffering from Jon Snow withdrawal? Luckily, has you covered, marking the transition of Kit Haringtonfrom the small screen to the big one.

"Pompeii" tells the story of the ill-fated city and its inhabitants before Mount Vesuvius destroyed everything in its path. And no, that's not a spoiler. Just ask your fifth-grade history teacher.

Taking its cues from movies like "Titanic," Paul W.S. Anderson's "Pompeii" uses the eruption of Mount Vesuvius as backdrop for a love story. Harrington plays Milo, a gladiator slave who who must save his love Cassia (Emily Browning) from her evil husband. And just because that would be too easy, he also has to defeat gladiators and outrun the destruction of Vesuvius while doing so.

Is it good enough to survive the critics?

Come For The Volcano, Stay For The Gladiators
"All that pales before the gladiatorial stuff. Anderson's battles are crisp, brutal, and stirring, and unlike Ridley Scott he doesn't try to shame us for wanting to see gladiators crack each other's skulls. The choreography is about killing and blocking rather than heroic poses, and Anderson distinguishes himself as the rare action director who shows us real bodies in real space in real reaction to each other, who prizes legibility over quick-cut dazzlement, who stages his fights with comic-book zeal rather than puffed-up graphic-novel miserableness." — Alan Scherstuhl, The Village Voice

But Don't Stay For The Love Story
"But with a central love story that feels contrived from the very first note, the major pleasure here is seeing it all blown to smithereens as quickly ...

Pharrell's 30-gallon hat arguably won the Grammys, shut down the Internet and brought this into the world. And now, that hat can be yours.

That's right: The Grammy-winning producer is putting his Vivienne Westwood "mountain hat" up for auction, with all proceeds benefitting his From One Hand to Another non-profit, a foundation that aims to "change the world one kid at a time by giving them the tools and resources to meet their unique potential."

So if you play your cards right — and if you have a few thousands to burn — that chapeau could be all yours in just a few days. Well, technically, you'll get anywhere between March 17 and March 21, according to eBay, which is hosting in the auction.

At press time, the highest bid was at $10,500 — and that's after just over an hour of bidding. There's still nearly 10 days left — bidding ends on March 2 at 5 p.m. PT — so chances are, this number is going to multiply.

And while anyone is welcome to enter the race, Pharrell had a special invitation on Twitter. "Hey @Arbys, you want my hat? Now's your chance," he wrote, weeks after the fast-food chain tweeted "Can we have our hat back?" at the Grammys on January 26.

And if you're part of the 90 percent of the population who doesn't have 10K to spend on a hat, Pharrell has a separate hat collection, with headgear ranging from $75 to $300.
