As Mobb Deep prepare to roll out theirBlack Cocaine EP in November, followed by their ninth, self-titled album at the top of 2012, Prodigy and Havoc are looking to expand their horizons with a series of new collaborations. One artist the Queensbridge duo are particularly keen to work with is Rick Ross.

During Wednesday's episode of "RapFix Live," Prodigy told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway that he has already reached out to Ross for a feature.

"All that is in the works, man. We like Rick Ross," Prodigy said. "I'mma be honest: We come from an era where longevity and consistency is key, and in the beginning, I ain't really see that in him. Then while I was locked up, he was dropping more and more music. I was like, 'Damn, I'm starting to like this dude.' That's when I was like, 'We need to holla at son and do some music with him.' "

After wrapping up a three-year prison stint for weapons possession in March, Prodigy said he headed directly to G-Unit's NYC offices, where he met with 50 Cent — who signed the group to G-Unit in 2005 — to discuss the collaboration. 50 Cent and Rick Ross have a notorious beef, which hit fever pitch in 2009 when Fif launched a full-scale attack against Rozay on his blog ThisIs50.com.

"The first day I came home, I went to the G-Unit office and told [50 Cent], 'Listen, Mobb Deep needs to start doing songs with everybody. We need to start reaching out to people even if we got little conflicts — people like Rick Ross, people like Lil Wayne, everybody that we respect and we like their music — and start doing songs with them.' "

50 Cent's answer? "He was like, 'Yeah, you right.' "

Prodigy didn't talk specifics about his intended Rick Ross collaborations, but during an earlier episode of "RapFix Live," the Bawse himself confirmed that fans could expect a Mobb Deep collaboration soon.

"I respect him most definitely, as being a Boss," Ross said of Prodigy. "When he was released, he gave me a call a few days after that. We spoke on the phone maybe once or twice, and it was a genuine conversation, us just touching bases. We most definitely put a record or two on the table, and just to be frank, I was always a fan of the homie, HNIC."

What do Britney Spears and Usher have in common? Well, they are both global superstars with a back catalogue of tunes that have kept fans dancing for a really long time and they both recently hooked up with will.i.am for tracks on their latest releases (the Black Eyed Peas mastermind worked on the pop vixen's Femme Fatale tune "Big Fat Bass"). And, if Spears has her way, she and the "OMG" singer could be hitting the road together.

When Spears sat down to talk with Sway Calloway for her "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" special — airing Sunday (April 3) at 9 p.m. ET on MTV — the singer revealed that Usher is first on her list of artists she'd like to join her on tour.

"Oh, I'm so excited. I'm really excited about going on tour, very," she explained about her forthcoming summer trek, which happens to have a spot open on the bill now that Enrique Iglesias has pulled out of the gig. "I think Usher's really great right now. I think he's really hot right now. That would be cool [to tour with him]."

The North American road trip is expected to kick off June 17 in Sacramento, California, and will run for 26 dates, winding up on August 13 in Toronto. More details will be announced soon.

The "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" special is a mixture of behind-the-scenes footage of the singer as she wraps up production on her album, which dropped this week, as well as an inside look at her life and fans. In addition, those who couldn't make Spears' recent nightclub show in Las Vegas will get to see her as she takes the stage in her latest pop incarnation.

Don't miss "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale," airing Sunday (April 3) at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.

It's hard to escape what everyone else is saying about the stars of "Breaking Dawn - Part 1" — whether it's fans gossiping about Rob and Kristen or teen girls fawning over Taylor's abs — but what do the three biggest stars from "Twilight" have to say about one another?

» "She looked amazing. I really didn't do anything much but just stand there." — Rob on Kristen in her "Breaking Dawn" wedding dress

» "It's fun to watch with [Taylor Lautner], because we actually sit and watch it. Me and Taylor are actual 'Twilight' fans, so we can sit there and be totally into it! Whereas I sit there with Rob ... he likes it, but he has just such a different energy." — Kristen on watching "Twilight" with Taylor

» "You're so cute." — Taylor on Kristen

» "I don't feel like kissing you!" — Rob to Kristen at the MTV Movie Awards

» "It was really fun to see Kristen try and act all tough, and she's a vampire and she's chucking me across the yard into trees. It was funny." — Taylor on Kristen throwing him around in "Breaking Dawn"

» "It's not tough when you're working with someone like this. She's extremely talented, and we get along really, really well." — Taylor on working with Kristen during "Breaking Dawn"

» "He's really buff! He definitely is. It took him a lot of time." — Kristen on Taylor

» "It's just totally false ... Rob and I are good friends." — Kristen on rumored relationship with Rob

It was an '80s rock goddess reunion as a once again shaved head Sinead O'Connor, 44, and a wigged out Debbie Harry, 66, from Blondie joined forces at an amfAR event in L.A. last night.

Nothing compares 2 them.

Michael vs. Lindsay: Lohan Mug Shot Showdown!


We may as well rename our celebrity mug shots gallery the Lohan gallery.

Michael Lohan's hilarious arrest this week (the second of two) has set the family bar really high/low. It's hard to top his daughter's antics, but getting stuck in a freaking tree after jumping off a three-story balcony to flee the cops? Incredible.

Come to think of it, this explains a lot about Lindsay ...

Michael Lohan Mug Shots

As the ol' saying goes, like father like daughter ... making excuses, having zero respect for authority, keeping lawyers in business and entertaining the crap out of THG.

What the heck is wrong with these miscreants? How hard is it to read a restraining order or show up for community service? These mysteries boggle the mind.

Our question to you, readers, is a much simpler one:

Which Lohan has the better mug shots?

Taylor Armstrong Seeks to Heal Others, Herself


It's been a tough few months for Taylor Armstrong, as the Real Housewife of Beverly Hills star has dealt with the suicide of her husband and then the multiple ways in which she could exploit the tragedy through interviews and photo releases.

But Armstrong is doing better these days, she tells Life & Style, saying simply: "I've been taking care of myself the best I can."

What has helped? Spending time with women foundations such as the 1736 Family Crisis Center.

"I'm looking into projects that can help women," Armstrong tells Life & Style. "The more I can help heal others, the more I heal myself. It gives me strength."
