T.I. has a lot to celebrate this New Year's Eve. This time last year, the King of the South was locked up, serving an 11-month sentence for a probation violation, but since his September release Tip has been on a tear, dropping a ton of new music and landing a reality show with his wife, Tiny, on VH1.

Tip has some big plans for ringing in the new year, even though he tries to downplay things. "For New Year's I'm gonna be waitin' on F--- da City Up to drop. We got a party poppin' off down here in Atlanta, 200 Peachtree. We gonna turn up and it's basically that," he told MTV News nonchalantly. "Between the party and the mixtape, that's all I got going. New year, new money. That's that."

Tip has been dropping viral teasers for F--- da City Up for about a week; the latest one, which dropped on Tuesday, shows T.I. in the studio with Dr. Dre.

"Dre was here. He sent for me, and of course I answered. We really just turned up more than anything else. It was about creating chemistry," T.I. told MTV News while in Atlanta preparing for the release of the tape.

On New Year's Eve, T.I. and his Grand Hustle fam will host a party in the Grand Atrium at 200 Peachtree in downtown Atlanta from 9 p.m. ET to 3:00 a.m. Sounds like fun.

For those who want to snuggle up on their couch and avoid all the partying madness, MTV has your back. This year Demi Lovato, Mac Miller, Selena Gomez, J. Cole, Jason Derulo and more will be on hand for "NYE in NYC 2012," which will air live at 11 p.m. ET on Saturday (December 31) from Times Square, where the famous ball drops on, you guessed it, MTV.

Karina Smirnoff Bowls Her Way Into 2012

She's less than a month removed from calling off her engagement to baseball player Brad Penny, but that didn't stop Karina Smirnoff from partaking in the New Year's Eve festivities in New York City last night (December 31).

The "Dancing with the Stars" darling sparkled in silver as she joined a packed house in ringing in 2012 at the Joonbug's End of the Year Bash at Bowlmor Lanes Times Square.

Joining up with "Karate Kid" actor Ralph Macchio at the festive affair, Ms. Smirnoff sipped on drinks before taking to the lanes to do a little bowling – during which time she appeared to struggle with her balance before quickly catching herself and rolling the ball towards the pins.

The NYE night out in NYC comes as Karina has been named as the most searched for DWTS pro over the course of 2011.

Smirnoff, who celebrates her 34th birthday on Monday (January 2), beat out second-place finisher Derek Hough by a slim margin with Mark Ballas, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Lacey Schwimmer rounding out the top five.
