Lil' Wayne is ready to party like it's 1999! Literally. With Limp Bizkit. Also in music news, DMX dislikes Drake and his haircut, Chris Brown probably stole some girl's cell phone, Andre 3000 isn't planning another Outkast album anytime soon, and Lady Gaga really likes baseballs and pearls. We'll explain.

Lil' Wayne thinks rap metal's ready for its comeback, apparently. The New Orleans native told New York's 98.7 KissFM that he's been "signing everybody" to his Cash Money record label, including 2000's surprisingly short pride and joy, Fred Durst.

Durst, who last caught attention for live-tweeting his Paltrow-esque juice cleanse, gleefully tweeted, "Rock s**t doesn't rock anymore! They say the whole game done went pop so I'm back in this ho!"

Oh, joy. Look forward to seeing more of this goateed gem in the coming months. Keep your fingers crossed that Scott Stapp doesn't strike up a friendship with Weezy in the near future, lest we find ourselves plagued with a Creed reunion tour.

DMX has also been out of the spotlight for the past couple of years, and it seems he's not too down with some of the current players in hip-hop. During an interview with Power 105's Breakfast Club, the rapper opined, "I don't like anything about Drake. I don't like his voice, I don't like what he talks about, I don't like his face, I don't like the way he walks, I don't like his haircut. I might just ... Let me shut up, I'll just stop right there."

We'd love to hear DMX's opinion of that chick who had Drake'! s name t attooed across her forehead.

Chris Brown: Awesome at living up to his reputation. (Bauer Griffin) Filed under UGH: Chris Brown is being investigated for potential theft, after he allegedly swiped a fan's iPhone when she took his picture outside a nightclub over the weekend. Brown being Brown, he reportedly snapped, "B**ch, you not gonna put this up on no website."

TMZ has a video of a woman named Christal Spann talking to police immediately after the alleged swiping, saying, "I just want my phone back!"

Since Brown is still on probation for felony assault charges, this could end up getting ugly. In other news, someone needs to give Chris' publicist a hug. It's been a rough week.

Andre 3000 is too busy collaborating with Damon Albarn and James Murphy to work on another Outkast album right now. He told GQ's Zane Lowe:There's been a lot of talk on the Internet about an OutKast album and I have to say that as of now, there are no plans for another OutKast album. There's a lot of music on the horizon. I've been living off the excitement of new artists. I've been privileged to have these new artists kind of reach out and grab back and say, "Hey, Andre, we want you on this song." So I've been taking those calls and for the last two years, I've been doing collaborations. So these new artists have kind of been keeping me alive. I've just really been feeding off of that and this year I think I'm planning to do a solo project. I don't know when it will come out, but hopefully it'll come out this year. As far as OutKast, I really don't know if or when that will happen. Lady Gaga ! is into pearls. She's into baseball. That's about all we gleaned from her latest column for V magazine, which details her thought-process upon watching the Brad Pitt flick Moneyball:

In this moment I looked down at my pearls, and I saw all the teeny-tiny home runs Id hit over the past year. I knew some of them were more perfect than others, but I knew only an eye trained in pearls would notice. The thing about music is youre not in competition with anyone else. Youre in competition with the psychology of the industry as a whole. Youre in competition with you. You must delve deeper and deeper into your creativity, history, and modernity to change not just this moment, but every moment that came before it. How can I hit a home run that will make every player question every run that was ever scored? How can I round third to home plate and bewilder some of the greatest players of all time? How can I change the game, until 30 years goes by and someone changes it again?

Madonna just lost her eyeballs somewhere in the back of her head.

Also worth noting: Gaga admits to shopping at Claire's. Be still my 12-year-old heart.
