So, OK, you already know that Mac Miller took home Woodie of the Year at the 2012 mtvU Woodie Awards. But there's so much y'all don't know about what went on at the Woodies. That's why you need to tune in to see the whole show go down this Sunday, March 18, at 8/7c ET on MTV and mtvU.
With performances by Santigold, Steve Aoki, and Mr. Woodie of the Year himself, Mac Miller, you know this show has to be a least a little rowdy. Also not to miss: Vanessa Hudgens, Kat Graham, Mike Posner, B.o.B., Cobra Starship, Chiddy Bang, J. Cole and MGK paying homage to the up-and-coming bands they love, and Jersey Shore/G-Note's DJ Pauly D spinning throughout the night.

Birdman and Slim are having to deal with yet another lawsuit involving non payment of royalties. This one involves music giant EMI.
EMI alleges they are owed nearly $500,000 from the label that is home to Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj and Drake. This lawsuit stems from a previous one in 2009, when EMI sued Cash Money for copyright infringement. The suit was settled and a payment plan was put in place to compensate EMI for songs that Cash Money Records' artists illegally sampled.
EMI is now suing again, alleging the payments from Cash Money have stopped according to Courthouse News.
"Because Defendant has ignored numerous communications from EMI regarding Defendant's contractual obligations, EMI once more is being forced to commence a lawsuit against Defendant to recover royalty payments," the complaint states.
According to the parties' agreement, EMI is entitled to a multiplier penalty of 1.25, which means Cash Money owes more than $491,000 in damages.
"The sales of Defendant's products have far exceeded the payments that EMI has received," the complaint states. "Once EMI realized that Defendant owed more money under the Second Payment it notified Defendant and explained that due to the increased sales, EMI was entitled to additional compensation."
"It is clear from Defendant's conduct that it has no intention of honoring the Agreement."
EMI is represented by Richard Roth of New York City.

It looks like all of the rumors can be put to bed now. Bobbi Kristina Brown and Nick Gordon are officially engaged according to US Weekly.
19-year old Bobbi is the only child of Bobby Brown and late singer Whitney Houston, and who died suddenly on February 11 at the age of 48. Gordon, now 22-years old, was practically raised by Houston from the time he was 12-years although he was never formerly adopted.
The couple is reportedly living together in one of Houston's Atlanta homes. Bobbi is using one of her deceased mom's diamond rings as an engagement ring to Nick.
"The situation is beyond sad," a source told US Weekly. "Whitney never formally adopted Nick, but he lived with her and Bobbi Kristina from the age of twelve and they were raised like brother and sister. Nick came from a really bad background. Bobbi Kristina is still so vulnerable since her mother passed away. But Nick has become like her rock."
Bobby Brown and Whitney's mother, Cissy Houston, are "upset" and "worried" about the romance.
This situation gets a little more strange every day.

Sway of MTV said it best when he was introducing 50 Cent this morning at SXSW in Austin, Texas, calling him "the hardest rapper of the new millennium." 50 lived up to that billing and then some.
The G-Unit General performed hit after hit from Get Rich Or Die Tryin, as well as many others including "Crack a Bottle" with Eminem.
During one segment 50 left the stage as Precious Paris and Kidd Kidd took over to perform "Do Your Thing" off of Paris' mixtape From Paris With Love.
When the show ended the fans wanted a second encore. Unfortunately that didn't happen, but the show was epic anyway. Watch it in full below.
