Hollywood Popular Artists

Pitbull might need to change his name to Sled Dawg cuz he's going from the 305 to the 907, baby! (Know yo area codes.) Thanks to some cheeky internet pranksters who launched a social media strike on a Facebook contest from Wal-Mart and Energy Sheetz, the 6,130 citizens living in the remote outpost of Kodiak, Alaska are getting a very special performance from this Cubano crooner.

Now maybe some artists might freak about hitting up the Frontier State for a one-off rando concert, but not Mr. Worldwide. He's ready to travel anywhere for his fans. Check out how he turns the tables on the jokers who helped send him waaaay North:

Pitbull is gonna look goooood in an all-white parka and iced-out aviators (literally). And we think he can DO some good, too. So here are some things we think he should do in the Final Frontier:

+ Save The Whales

Kodiak is an island -- so we think Pitbull should hit the water (Shrinkage Alert: better not wear that South Beach speedo!) and do some whale watching to raise awareness for the endangered sea creatures that cruise Alaska's shores. He doesn't have to transform into Captain Ahab out there, but he could at least adopt a baby beluga or two.

+ Go Into The Wild

The Man in Black III should hop on a seaplane and check out the Artic National Wildlife Refuge, the largest in the country. Then he can make an informed decision about one of America's longest-running political battles: whether or not oil drilling should be allowed in this pristine preserve. Would he oppose it like his boy Obama or be down with digging in like Mitt?

+ Warm Up Voters

Homey should host a voter registration drive in Kodiak. As the son of Cuban immigrants, Pitbull was all about getting out the Latino vote in '08 and this year too. So why can't he spread the election love from the tropics to the tundra! The state might not have a candidate in the race this election year (Well, Mitt hasn't announced his VP yet) but Pit will get 'em reved up to vote!

+ Fight Global Warming

Pitbull is used to the heat, but once he sees the devastating effects of global warming on the Arctic Circle, he might think twice about his superstar carbon footprint. (Turns out speed boats and Hummers suck major gas.) The native Inuit tribes of Alaska are dealing with the daily impact of melting ice on their way of life -- you know how we're worried about polar bears becoming extinct? Imagine an entire race of people. Senor 305 can join the global 350 movement to solve this climate crisis.
