This Monday, Beyonce fans were treated to another leak off the songstress' forthcoming album 4. The Kanye West and Andre 3000 infused "Party," has since been removed from the net, but not before the synthesized track was coined the next signature summer anthem.

Kanye opens the track with,

"You a bad girl and your friend's bad too/ You got the swag sauce, you drippin' swagu."

Admittedly, we were hoping "swag" would die after -if not before- Diddy renamed himself with the moniker for a one week stint, but Ye has seemingly revived the word, in what many are comparing to Swizz Beatz's verse on Drake's "Fancy."

Bey then croons over the "La Di Da Di" sample,

"I might be young, but I'm ready/To give you all my love/I told my girls you can get it/Don't slow it down, just let it go."

Further romancing us with:

"I'll give it all away/ Just don't tell nobody tomorrow/ So tonight I'll do it every way/ Cause knockin' till the morning light/ 'Cause we like to party."

Seasoned ATL emcee Andre 3000 wraps up the track with his veteran standing in the game. Rapping:

"Spit this sh-- for rillo, brain Brillo/ Kiddo say he looks up to me, this just makes me feel old/ Never thought that we could become someone else's hero."

"Party" joins formerly leaked Bey tracks "Run the World (Girls)," "1 +1"  and "Best Thing I Never Had." With four tracks down and likely 8 to go, what are your thoughts on Beyonce's highly anticipated anthem?

Sound off in the comments, or @MTV3.

For anyone doubting the power of a 3D dance flick, bow down! The release of "Step Up 3D" went way beyond expectations, passing the $30 million mark since opening day (August 6). As dance fans, we've been tagging along for all the parties and red carpet events.

Check out some of the exclusive footage Tr3s got from the “Step Up 3D” premiere at L.A.’s El Capitan theatre. The Argentinian Lombard twins (who were absolute scene stealers) gave us some bilingual insight into their memorable onscreen moments. “We improvised most of our scenes and that was amazing,” they revealed.

Leading man Rick Malambri also stopped by to chat about how grueling the dance process really was. He told us, “We went through a month and a half of six days a week, 10 hours a day. Full on choreography…personal training, weight training, you name it! It was intense.”

"Step Up 3D" is more than a movie, it’s an experience! Imagine perfectly aligned dancers doing kicks, twirls, and tumbles through the screen and right in your face! This week, Blogamole was lucky enough to tag along with a few of the actors, choreographers, and creative masterminds behind this extremely ambitious project.

First up, the glorious pre-release bash (August 1) at the Skybar on the Sunset Strip. Now we know why big studios like to release their movies in the summertime…it's definitely the best season for a premiere party!

For those who thought last week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo was strictly for gamers, techies, Warcraft lovers, and guys living in their mom’s basements, think again! The biggest annual event in video games brought out industry heavy hitters, A-list celebs, and (most importantly) tons of insane parties!

Did somebody say recession? Not here! Take Activision for example. As a way to promote (and add some “street cred”) to their latest DJ Hero release, they actually rented out the LA Staples Center and packed it with private performances by Eminem, Rihanna, Usher, and more!

Imagine seeing Chris Cornell wail on “Black Hole Sun” against a backdrop for the new Call Of Duty: Black Ops game, or being able to get a free live rendition of tracks like “Won’t Back Down” from Em’s upcoming Recovery release. We loved catching his voice in that recent Activision commercial!

All this for video games? You better believe it — and that’s only the beginning. How about Microsoft renting out actual Cirque du Soliel performers to stir up guests about its new Xbox Kinect?

Rolling Stone magazine threw a party for their latest cover girl Shakira last night at the Bowery Hotel in New York City. La Loba looked lovely in a black sequined jacket, loose white tank, sky high black pumps, and tight jeans. Pero fue su pelo that caught everyone's attention. Looks like Shaki is heading back to that twisted locks look.

What do you think? Love it or Hate it?

Shakira also accepted a plaque commemorating 1 million copies sold of her album's title track.  Su nuevo album, She-Wolf, will be released en los Estados Unidos in two weeks.  Will you pick it up?

When you're Jenny from the Block, and you've moved it on up from a dlux 6 subway car to the lux life for realz, you value other hard-working, aspirational Latinos.

So naturally, it made sense when JLo invited another Bronx American Dream Latina to dinner, the newly-confirmed Sonia Sotomayor!  Lopez has shown her support not only of Sonia Sotomayor, but also of Barack Obama throughout his presidential campaign and inauguration.  With a powerhouse carrera, a full familia and a fashion line, es un milagro que JLo finds time to support the Democrat cause in such style!

JLo and hubby Marc Anthony invited twelve guests in total to their Long Island mansion for cocktails and dinner.  With Madre's now closed, it's good to hear that JLo can still throw together a mean Puerto Rican supper for VIP guests! [Latina]
