If anyone should have an opinion on Jay-Z and Beyonce's trip to Cuba, it should be Pitbull. While this may sound far-fetched, Mr. 305 is a Miami native, but both of his parents are Cuban immigrants to the South Florida city.

On April 23, CBS will mark an early celebration of National Teacher Appreciation Week with a special, titled 'The Real Change Project: Artists for Education.' They'll have some pretty big names involved, including Justin Bieber, Pitbull, and Miley Cyrus.

Hip-Hop beefs are nothing new. Matter of fact, the "rap battle" helped catapult the genre into the masses worldwide in the 80's. Not mention, it boosted the career of many a rap star (50 Cent, Game, Eminem, Jay-Z and Nas to name a few powerhouses)...

Okay, hear us out on this. It just makes sense that Carly Rae Jepsen, who had arguably the biggest song of 2012, would close out the year by singing her hit 'Call Me Maybe' on New Year's Rockin' Eve, right?!

Pitbull geared up for the Thanksgiving holiday by bringing a little 'Global Warming' to the TODAY show this morning (Nov. 21.)

Pitbull's performance at the 2012 American Music Awards began before the applause for Christina Aguilera had even died down, so we had a feeling they were tied together in some way. Sure enough, after a ferocious rendition of 'Don't Stop the Party,' Pitbull brought out Xtina for a cameo on their new collaboration.

After Carly Rae Jepsen accepted her award, 2012 Europe Music Awards host Heidi Klum was on hand in a sexy orange-y gold dress to announce the next performer of the night.

What a life Pitbull has: He creates good music, tours the world, makes loads of money, and gets to film music videos like 'Don't Stop the Party,' in which he hangs out with dozens of hot girls, some in bikinis, some in lingerie, and some totally nude.

Remember that whole web-generated prank (we mean “campaign”) where writer David Thorpe helped a Walmart nestled in the remote location of Kodiak, Alaska win a visit from Cuban-American dynamo Pitbull by garnering the most “likes” on Facebook? Well, Thorpe was on hand for the event, which took place on July 30, but not on Walmart’s dime. Turns out the generous Pit himself paid for Thorpe to attend.

We weren’t expecting new music from Fergie in 2012 after she announced she wanted to take time off to hang out with husband Josh Duhamel and maybe have a baby. But she has returned as a solo artist with ‘Feel Alive,’ a dance track featuring rapper Pitbull.

Pitbull wants to ‘Get It Started’ with Shakira on a track from his upcoming album, ‘Global Warming.’ The track blends a dance beat and up-tempo verses with a slowed-down, piano-driven pop chorus.

Despite the fact that follow Young Money recording artist Nicki Minaj has collaborated with French DJ/producer David Guetta, don’t expect Drake to follow suit. The Toronto-bred rapper is not a fan of fist-pumping dance music.
