MTV News' James and MTV Buzzworthy's Tamar take a break to sit down and discuss the bands that may overtake LMFAO and Pitbull as this summer's breakout stars. Yes, there are acts that are gaining serious heat as August moves on.
Here's a tease: One has a blood tie to Green Day and the other brings us back to the sounds of summer '96.

No Doubt have been in the music business (some call it "the biz") for enough time now that they know what they're doing. You might even call them veterans. But they need your help on their summer tour.
When Gwen and the boys get up on stage to play their first hit, "Just a Girl", the video playing on the big screens will be you. And your friends. And your pets.
The band is asking you to do your best impression of Gwen from way back in '95 and upload footage of yourself for them to use on tour. Complete details and submission can be found at NoDoubt.com. The deadline is May 1, so get shootin' and uploadin', even if you're just a boy.
Pretty cool, huh? We thought so too. And it got us thinking that we'd heard this idea before. Lo and behold, MTV News met some crazy No Doubt fans back in 1997 who had the same idea. They dressed up like Gwen, went to a show and even got to meet the band.

Since we posted about 50 Cent skipping out on Wrestlemania down below, it got one of our producers, Andrew Millard, thinking about one of the more bizarre segments in the MTV News vaults.
Andrew writes:
Any wrestling story is an excuse to dust off some of the classic WWF footage we have in our library. Witness the post match interview from 1985's "The War To Settle The Score" - the precursor to Wrestlemania I. It features Mean Gene Okerlund interviewing an extremely agitated Hulk Hogan, Mr. T, Capt. Lou Albano and Cyndi Lauper. Oh, and also pro-wrestling's least likely fan, Andy Warhol.
Seriously? Yeah, Seriously. It's like someone made the whole thing up.
