The trailer for Tomorrowland 2013 hit the Internet on Monday (July 8), and the three-minute-plus clip makes good on its "ninth magical chapter" promotional copy with a wizard-like character whose fascination with planets is set against a backdrop of a full moon and a sky strewn with stars.

And while the three-day fest kicks off on July 26 in Boom, Belgium, the video, seemingly titled "The Arising of Life" borrows from another time and place. In addition to the otherworldly trailer, fans also got a preview of this year's Tomorrowland theme song when festival performer Pete Tong played it on Friday's episode of his BBC Radio 1 show.

A thumping, high-energy track, "Chattahoochee" was produced by headliners Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, who have been capturing the festival's uniquely international feel for the past three years with anthems like ("Chattahoochee" will be available on Beatport on July 22.)

Tomorrowland will offer stages for every EDM taste, including sets by Tiesto, Nervo, Steve Aoki, Zedd, Afrojack and former Swedish House Mafia members Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso and Axwell. While MTV News won't get a peek at the Belgium festival grounds until the festival's start on July 26, our 2012 private tour should give a hint at what might be in store.

And as the voice in the 2013 trailer reminds us, "Just because you haven't seen something, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist!"

The 2013 MTV Video Music Awards are coming to Brooklyn, and the borough's most influential artist is helping them feel right at home.

Internationally famous artist and provocateur KAWS has redesigned the VMAs' Moonman award, giving the silver spaceman his first facelift in 30 years. And for a guy who's reinterpreted everything from Mickey Mouse to the Michelin Man, not to mention worked with top brands like Nike and Marc Jacobs, taking on the Moonman was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.

"It's such a strong, iconic thing. Everyone sees the Moonman and knows right off the bat what it is," KAWS told MTV News. "When I was first invited to do the project, I knew that I didn't want to create something new entirely, I wanted [to do] something you see that's immediately KAWS and immediately Moonman; people just get it."

KAWS first rose to fame in the mid-90s with his graffiti tags and guerilla-style re-workings of bus stop advertisements — he'd literally pick locks to replace ads with his own work — around New York City, but he's lived and worked in Brooklyn for nearly a decade now ("I remember coming over to Brooklyn to paint and it seemed like a playground," he said). And in that time, his bold, street-indebted work has won over the art world and earned him legions of admirers, including Kanye West and Pharrell Williams.

He's also crossed over to the mainstream — one of his most iconic characters, Companion, flew in last year's Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade alongside the likes of Buzz Lightyear and ...

Jay-Z has received a lot of hefty thumbs-up for Magna Carta... Holy Grail — from the likes of Courtney Love, who sanctioned Hov's use of Nirvana lyrics, to The Dean of Salisbury, the Very Reverend June Osborne, who allowed the album artwork to be displayed next to the original Magna Carta. Now, Jay can add another endorsement to the pile — this time from Tom Ford, who was "completely flattered" by his Magna Carta namecheck.

Jay-Z drops a lot of fashion references on his new album, including Givenchy on "Picasso Baby," Herme on "Oceans" and Gucci on "BBC." No designer, however, got as much love as Tom Ford, who scored an entire track under his name, replete with further namechecks.

Ford was apparently tickled by his ode, telling Billboard, "I mean, come on, who would not want a Jay-Z song named after them?"

This is not the first time Jay's name has been tied to Ford's. Hov sported the designer in his and Justin Timberlake's video as part of the designer's The 20/20 Experience partnership with JT. Ford created looks for the as well, along with the album artwork.

In addition to being a savvy rapper, Jay has always been a brand advocate — the most recent addition to his endorsement ouevre being Samsung devices. Hov aligned himself with Samsung for the release of Magna Carta, dropping the album on July 4 before its July 9 wide release date exclusively on Samsung phones via a specialized ...

Migos may be relative newcomers to rap, but the Atlanta trio already has a gang of fans — maybe none bigger than October's Very Own Drake.

"He came up to us and he started naming songs off the mixtape. That was crazy, if Drake came up to you naming songs of your mixtape, how you gon' feel?" TakeOff told MTV News, recalling the time the group met Drizzy backstage at Atlanta's Hot 107.9's Birthday Bash on June 15.

Migos is composed of TakeOff, Quavo and Offset, who was in jail at the time of the interview. Their breakout mixtape, Y.R.N. (Young Rich N---as), dropped on June 13 and features stand-out tracks like "Bando" (an ode to selling drugs out of abandoned building), the super-repetitive "Hannah Montana" and the Gucci Mane-assisted auto-tuned "Dennis Rodman." Still, it's the Drake remix to "Versace," which has had fans in a frenzy since Drizzy dropped it on June 22, a week after meeting Migos at Birthday Bash.

Without the guest verse, the Zaytoven-produced bouncy banger has all the right ingredients for a summertime hip-hop hit. The sparse keys, rolling drums work beautifully with the infectious chorus, which is just a repetitive chant promoting the luxurious clothing brand: "Versace, Versace, Versace."

The added Drake verse was the icing on the southern-baked cake. "Versace, Versace, Medusa head on me like I'm 'luminati/ This is a gated community, please get the f--- off the property," Drizzy starts off spitting before ending: "I'm trying to give Halle Berry a baby and no one can stop me."

"We kept ...

Hard to believe that Paris Hilton is signed to the record label that built its empire off street-bred artists like Juvenile, B.G. and Lil Wayne, but in May it was announced that the Hilton heiress has joined Cash Money, and Birdman couldn't be more excited.

"Honestly, I don't think people know how talented Paris is. I just left from her house she was playin' me some music and we were meeting," the Cash Money CEO told MTV News last month, when taking a break from a Los Angeles recording session where he was finalizing his upcoming Rich Gang album.

The actress announced the deal back in May and hopes to have her sophomore LP out later this year. Her first album dropped in 2006, but Hilton says that this new LP will be different from her initial pop offering. "It's really going to be house music," she told Showbiz 411.

Birdman certainly has an ear for talent. Not only has he groomed Lil Wayne from a kid rapper to a global rap master, his roster boasts a lineup that includes Nicki Minaj, Drake, Tyga, DJ Khaled, Busta Rhymes and Ace Hood. He's also recently added Limp Bizkit, Christina Milian and EDM act the Stafford Brothers into the fold and he absolutely stands by Paris.

"She got a record we're about to come out with and she's very talented. You know she's already somethin' special as an entrepreneur and everything that she do," he said. "But on the music side, I'm super excited. We all — me, Wayne, everybody — ...

John Mayer ended an already emotional tour-opening show at Milwaukee's Marcus Amphitheatre on a high note when he reportedly dedicated the last song of his set, "A Face To Call Home," to on-again off-again girlfriend Katy Perry, calling her "my face to call home."

Mayer hit the stage Saturday to kick off his Born and Raised Tour, his first since undergoing throat surgery last summer. The musician made scant mention of that experience during the show, except at the very end, when he remembered how caring Perry was during his recovery. "[She took the time] to continue to get know me and love me," he said, according to Rolling Stone.

Mayer and Perry were first spotted together last summer and continued to date on and off until this past spring, when Mayer confirmed the breakup on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."

Recently, however, Perry told Vogue that her feelings for the crooner have not gone away. "[I] was madly in love with [Mayer]," she said. "I still am madly in love with him. All I can say about that relationship is that he's got a beautiful mind....Beautiful mind, tortured soul. I do have to figure out why I am attracted to these broken birds."

But after Perry posted a photo of the two together on the Fourth of July, it seems likely that the two are back together. Mayer's dedication on Saturday adds more fuel to that fire.

Although Mayer played a multitude of songs from 2012's Born and Raised during Saturday's show — the album that the tour takes its ...

At this point, M.I.A.'s problems with record labels are pretty well documented. First, the folks at Interscope delayed the release of her Matangi album because it was and then, after months of tinkering, she was apparently so frustrated that she decided to premiere the album's first single, herself.

Now, she's at war with Jay-Z's Roc Nation (which began operating as part of the Universal Music Group — the corportation that also owns Interscope — earlier this year) over a teaser clip for a Matangi documentary that began making the rounds this weekend and was quickly pulled by the Roc citing copyright infringement.

According to the doc's director, Steve Loveridge, the teaser was made in 2012 "to show Interscope what the film would feel like." Though after months of delays, Loveridge decided to force the label's hand, posting the clip on his blog and instructing M.I.A. fans to "reblog the sh--out of this and maybe they'll wake up."

Of course, those fans did as they were told, and within hours, Loveridge was hit with a copyright claim from the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which caused the Matangi clip to be removed from YouTube. Out of frustration, the director then posted an email from a Roc Nation employee, who claimed that, despite the delays, the label was still planning on releasing the film in time for the album's promotional cycle and M.I.A.'s festival appearances, then added:

"The timing of this leak is not good, as it screws with everything we've been working on ...
