This weekend's sojourn to the cinema will let you enjoy a delightful '80s flashback, full of leg warmers, Aqua-Net and Olivia Newton-John songs. "Hot Tub Time Machine" stars John Cusack, Rob Corddry, Clark Duke and Craig Robinson as four down on their luck guys who stumble back in time after a wild night in a hot tub apparently capable of temporal shifts. It's a wacky premise with a hilarious cast and promises to provide anybody who loved "Better Off Dead" with a delightful neon-colored blast of nostalgia.

That sort of walk down memory lane requires the right soundtrack, which is why we've constructed a video playlist in honor of "Hot Tub Time Machine." It works two ways, as you'll get a number of great nuggets from the '80s (including songs from Salt-N-Pepa, David Bowie, the Replacements and Spandau Ballet, all of whom are included on the movie's official soundtrack) as well as a number of hits about skipping back through time. There's Michael Jackson's "Remember the Time" (which is paired with Eddie Murphy's '80s dance hit "Party All the Time," as Murphy stars in both videos), Muse's "Time Is Running Out" and Green Day's "Time of Your Life (Good Riddance)."

There's also an ode to the titular bathroom fixture (Chumbawumba's "Tubthumping") just for good measure. But let's kick it off nice and slow with some R. Kelly, who wished that he had a hot tub time machine in "If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time."

Will you be checking out "Hot Tub Time Machine" this weekend? Let us know in the comments!

It's Musical March Madness! The sprawling bracket — both a parody and a tribute to the NCAA basketball tournament, masterminded by MTV News' James Montgomery — takes the 65 biggest names in rock, splits them up into four regions, assigns them seeds and puts them up against one another in a single-elimination series of match-ups in a winner-take-all contest. We're leaving it to you to decide an actual champ in this field of 65. Over the next few weeks, we will present a series of polls that will allow you to vote for the match-ups presented in MTV News' Band Bracketology. You vote for the winners, we'll keep advancing the seeds and, in the end, we'll have some sort of champion. What will the winner receive? Little more than our esteem (as well as that of the fans) and some Internet bragging rights.

Last night's NCAA basketball games featured a tremendous double overtime tilt featuring Kansas State and Xavier, as well as Butler's upset over top-ranked Syracuse. The voting in Musical March Madness remains aggressive, and most of the second round voting remains tight. Today, we plow through the South bracket in preparation for the Sweet 16 on Monday.

(10) Mastodon vs. (15) Coheed and Cambria
Both bands pulled off first round upsets using their individual brands of prog-friendly headbanging. Now they are entrenched in a great second round tilt. This is a great section of the tournament, because no matter who wins either of these games, the Sweet 16 will have a metal versus jam showdown that will be epic.

(3) Dave Matthews Band vs. (6) Phish
Two of the jam universe's biggest titans won their first round match-ups handily, but only one can stand alone. A longshot prediction: Whoever wins this match-up will make a run to the finals. But which one will it be?

The third day of WMC 2010 proved to be monstrous. We started our afternoon with a chat with DJ A-Trak, whose highly anticipated Fool's Gold showcase would ultimately close out our night. From there, the day snowballed into controlled insanity as we caught up with Calvin Harris, up and coming artist Burnes, NGDJ winners Maya Vanya, industry sage DJ Dan, rising star Dennis Ferrer, prolific producer/DJ Kaskade, electro rockers Shiny Toy Guns and of course the insanely huge David Guetta. And that was all before lunch.

The afternoon temperatures soared into the 80s and our interviews only got hotter. We had the honor of hosting a long chat with the godfather of all dance music Tiesto and followed that up with chats with Deep Dish member Sharam, fresh and funky DJ Riva Starr and finally the legendary Paul Oakenfold.

After briefly regrouping, and a quick shower, it was time to rally the troops and head to two of the most anticipated events of this years gathering. First was the DJ AM tribute party (headlined by A-Trak and Travis Barker) at LIV nightclub in the recently renovated Fountainbleu Miami Hotel (the former stomping ground of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and the rest of the Rat Pack). Tiesto, Oakenfold, Lil Jon, Steve Aoki and "The Situation" from "Jersey Shore" were all in attendance and rocking out to a truly memorable set.

From there we jumped in a car with A-Trak and rolled up to his anxiously-awaited first live set with mega DJ Armand Van Helden and their new collaboration that they've dubbed "Duck Sauce." They were joined at the Fool's Gold showcase by acclaimed producer Just Blaze (Jay-Z, Fabolous). It was an incredible show that had the crowd going insane. Even our friend Tommy Sunshine showed up (and sends a big hello to his new MTV family). How on earth can we top this day?

We certainly plan on trying on Friday (March 26). Our lineup includes Swedish House Mafia (Axwell, Sebastian Ingross and Steve Angello), DeadMau5, Ferry Corsten, Above & Beyond, rising star Agnes Carlsson, the Crystal Method, LMFAO and Will.I.Am. Then we head to Bicentennial Park with approximately 100,000 other dance music lovers to help kick off the Ultra Music Festival headlined by Tiesto, David Guetta, WMC breakout artist Afrojack, Kaskade, Dirty South, Laidback Luke, Carl Cox and Passion Pit.

What wild stories will come of this years bash? Keep up with our crew and all of the action at MTV News and on Twitter @MTVNews.

On this day 15 years ago, the rap community suffered one of it's most fatal blows when the godfather of gangsta rap Eric "Eazy-E" Wright passed away from complications from AIDS at the tender age of 31. The rapper/producer/record executive who introduced one of rap's most fearless groups (N.W.A.) to the world fought his last battle after he was admitted to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, publicly announcing he'd been diagnosed with AIDS. Ten days later, the hip-hop world was shocked when Eazy passed from the virus, leaving a legacy of music behind.

They say the good die young, and Eazy was about as good as it gets. Not only did he spawn one of hip-hop's most volatile rap cliques with N.W.A. (and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony later down the line), but the Compton native introduced a wealth of savvy business tactics within hip-hop that continue to be used today.

Wright's music shall reign supreme forever thanks to the copious number of MCs who cite him as a reference point, such as the Game, Nipsey Hussle, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. Even Eazy's son Eric Wright Jr. (aka Lil Eazy-E, who was ten years old at the time of his dad's death) has followed the same career path his father created.

In remembrance of Eazy, we decided to bring back this old clip of his debut on "Yo! MTV Raps." Even Fab 5 Freddy admitted this was his first time visiting the hood.

Shortly before Eazy passed, he left his fans with one last jewel from his hospital bed. "Yeah, I was a brother on the streets of Compton doing a lot of things most people look down on — but it did pay off," he said. "Then we started rapping about real stuff that shook up the LAPD and the FBI. But we got our message across big time, and everyone in America started paying attention to the boys in the 'hood. Soon our anger and hope got everyone riled up. There were great rewards for me personally, like fancy cars, gorgeous women and good living. Like real non-stop excitement. I'm not religious, but wrong or right, that's me. I'm not saying this because I'm looking for a soft cushion wherever I'm heading, I just feel that I've got thousands and thousands of young fans that have to learn about what's real when it comes to AIDS. Like the others before me, I would like to turn my own problem into something good that will reach out to all my homeboys and their kin. Because I want to save their asses before it's too late."

R.I.P. Eric "Eazy-E" Wright.

What's your favorite Eazy-E moment? Let us know in the comments.

Stone Temple Pilots may go down in history as the most underrated band of all time. When they first dropped their debut single "Plush" in 1993, they were buried as Pearl Jam imitators (though that didn't stop them from doing massive sales and becoming MTV staples). They have spent the remainder of their collective career trying to dig their way out from under that label, despite the fact that they put out some of the most interesting, inventive and unforgettable music of the post-grunge era.

Case in point: On this day in 1996, the band dropped their third album Tiny Music ... Songs from the Vatican Gift Shop, a confusingly named but roundly excellent collection of rock tunes. Coming off the heavy Purple, the band expanded their musical palette with Tiny Music, wandering into areas normally inhabited by shoegaze and psychedelia. Despite the experimentation (especially with the tuning and voicing of Dean DeLeo's guitar), the songs were still sharp and tight. The first single "Big Bang Baby" pushed the band into glam territory that was equal parts T. Rex and Jane's Addiction, while "Tumble in the Rough" let the group flail with garage band abandon.

Unfortunately, Tiny Music got short shrift in 1996, as though it spawned a handful of hits, STP were derailed by frontman Scott Weiland's drug problems. The group was forced to cancel a bunch of tour dates because Weiland had to check into court-mandated rehab, where he stayed for most of the rest of the year. By 1997, the group was on hiatus (during which Weiland cut a solo album and the rest of the group recorded a record as Talk Show) and well on their way to an eventual break-up in 2003. But they re-formed in 2008 and have a new album due soon.

Tiny Music remains a profoundly underrated album, and the trippy ballad "Lady Picture Show" is one of the group's better videos.

Little more than our esteem (as well as that of the fans) and some Internet bragging rights.

We close out the Midwest bracket with a couple of truly unexpected pairings. On Friday, the second round wraps up with the South. All voting for the second round of MTV News' Musical March Madness closes on Sunday evening (March 28), and Monday (March 29) kicks off the Sweet 16. Keep voting, and keep leaving your thoughts in the comments!

(4) The White Stripes vs. (12) OK Go
The White Stripes used balance and consistency to put away aggro-punkers Rise Against, while OK Go pulled something of an upset against much-beloved masked metal icons Slipknot (apparently, all those views of the "This Too Shall Pass" video added up to some killer online good will). Will Jack White put another notch in his belt, or will the Internet-savvy upstarts in OK Go score another win as an underdog?

(9) Patrick Stump vs. (16) The Hold Steady
Of all the upsets in the first round, the Hold Steady defeating Nickelback may be the most surprising, simply because of the discrepancy between the size of the two groups. Can their fans keep pushing them through the tournament, or will Stump use the momentum created by his first round victory and his recent performance at SXSW to land in the Sweet 16?

One of the most exciting parts of attending WMC is hearing that one track that echoes in all of the lasting memories of your festival experience. Over the course of the next few days, MTV News will be catching all the acts that are generating a lot of buzz and catching our ears at the same time. The one that jumped out right away? "Scarcube" by the Cube Boys.

"Scarcube" just might eclipse LMFAO's "I'm in Miami Trick" as the unofficial theme song of Miami and WMC. In fact, "Scarcube" could easily be the sinister b-side to "I'm in Miami Trick," and it samples one of the greatest movie characters (and southern Florida icons) of all time: Tony Montana of "Scarface" fame. When you sample Al Pacino in a killer house track, that might just be the perfect storm necessary for success at WMC 2010.

But said success takes a bit of work, and sometimes that means skipping sample clearance. "Al Pacino called us to say 'What? You used my voice? Why? Who are you!'" Cube member Luca Provera joked. "Maybe the clearance is too difficult to have it, but maybe if you know him personally, give him the promo and tell him to call us!"

We'll give it our best shot Luca, though we can't promise anything — except that we'll continue to crank up "Scarcube" while we float from party to party for the remainder of the Winter Music Conference!

Every day a multitude of stars wander through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with our intrepid correspondents. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

There are plenty of teen stars whose careers flamed out once their initial time in the sun was over, but Jennifer Love Hewitt has risen above all that. She had an incredible run at the end of the '90s, starring on the hit TV show "Party of Five" and in films like "Can't Hardly Wait" and "I Know What You Did Last Summer," and now has her second hit TV show (the Friday night juggernaut "The Ghost Whisperer"). She also recently published a book called "The Day I Shot Cupid," a guide to dating based on her high-profile love life (her ex-boyfriends include John Mayer and Jamie Kennedy). One aspect of her career that always got short shrift was her ability as a singer. She has put out a handful of albums that are all underrated (how the 1999 single "How Do I Deal" wasn't a massive hit remains a colossal mystery), though she has had more success with her music outside the United States (she was especially well-received in Australia). Hewitt is supposedly at work on a country album, which may show up some time this year, but in the meantime, she'll keep plugging her book and glad-handing with fans, just as she did outside her hotel in New York on Wednesday (March 24).

Hewitt wasn't the only star out among the people, as Taylor Swift bowled in Studio City, California and Justin Bieber continued his promotional tour for My World 2.0. Click here for these photos as well as the entire "Spotted" archive, which features over 400 candid shots of stars like Britney Spears, Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Simpson, Jay-Z, Rihanna, 50 Cent, Katy Perry, Diddy, Lady Gaga and the Jonas Brothers!

With the second round battles in the West bracket already underway, we move to the Midwest region for another set of intense showdowns.

(2) Muse vs. (10) Breaking Benjamin
In a region of the tournament that was full of stunning upsets, Muse went head-to-head with Red Hot Chili Peppers and pulled away late when it mattered. It's proof that their stadium-filling quality isn't just hype, as they've got the support of the people who fell in love with them through The Resistance. Breaking Benjamin don't have the same kind of cultural sweep behind them, but they've got grit and moxie for days. Is it enough to upend another favorite?

(11) Shinedown vs. (14) AFI
Each of these underdogs knocked off big-time fan favorites in the first round, as Shinedown took Cobra Starship to the buzzer (the difference was a mere 10 votes) and AFI fell behind Foo Fighters early before mounting an incredible comeback and finishing with a landslide victory. Can AFI keep their momentum going, or will Shinedown plow ahead to the Sweet 16?

"I play everything on [the record]. And I'm kind of being very strict about that, because it's one of those things where I've always wanted to do it, but also because I've had a lot of friends I've wanted to work with, and it's sort of a nice blanket rule to work under, because then I don't have a sea of guests. Plus, I feel like some musicians are really good at relating to other musicians and improvising on the spot. I don't know if that's my strength. I'm more of an internal musician ... I groove a lot better with myself than I do with other people, so it's a different sound altogether. And it's also this big, convoluted way to get me to play drums again, because I really just miss playing drums. And there's no reason for me to play over [Fall Out Boy's] Andy [Hurley], because he's a really good drummer."

-Former Fall Out Boy frontman Patrick Stump, discussing the one man band approach to his first solo album. MTV News' James Montgomery sat down with Stump in Austin, Texas, where he also made his live debut at this year's SXSW festival. He hopes to have the still-untitled album out by the summer, though he says it continues to evolve in strange and unexpected ways. "I've ended up having a lot of writing to do, that took on a more ... cathartic thing. So it's kind of half-and-half now — I don't really know what record it is anymore. I could've told you a month ago that it was going to be more of a funk record, but now I don't really know."

While the music is happening naturally for Stump, he's having to re-navigate the world without any other band members on whom he can rely. "Everything's kind of been a new learning experience. I'm having to do interviews where what I say matters. It's very strange," he laughed. "I have this big open road right now, as far as how I want to do it. I want to get a band together, and I want to practice, I really want to go out and play shows. And I'm hoping that people like the record enough so I can go do some small theaters and stuff. But we'll see how it goes."
