The cast of the Broadway production of 'Newsies'

Ummm, I'm not even going to tell you how many times I watched the original "Newsies" film as a kid, but the number is probably somewhere between 999 and 1,000 -- I was mildy obsessed. So you can imagine my excitement when I got word that the original Broadway "Newsies" soundtrack was being released! I had an even larger flip-out when I heard that we got our mitts on some behind-the-scenes action and a sneak peek at "The World Will Know,” one of the Broadway show's original songs.

Miley Cyrus and her new pup, Happy, at Miami Airport.

Miley Cyrus loves all her dogs, y'all. And she tweets pics of them on the daily! But we're starting to think she's playing favorites with her newest addition, Happy. That dog has been treated everywhere: a Cinco de Mayo party, a visit to the salon and now, a trip to the airport! That dog's gotten more five-star treatment in the last month than we ever have in our entire lifetime.

"The Climb" singer was snapped hanging with the recently rescued pooch at the Miami airport while looking all kinds of, well, happy. They say that people who have dogs live longer than those who don't, and judging by Miley's glowing smile (and the same kind of smile we've seen on gazillions of other pop stars who have pets), we're going to have to say that's a pretty accurate assessment. Plus, Happy is looking equally content rolling around in that blinged-out skull and crossbones leash. We just wonder if Miley's other dogs are starting to get reeeal jealous of this new dog's baller status. We know we are.

Today's installment of  "A Rap Video I've Been Eagerly Awaiting but Completely Forgot Was Coming" is this new joint 2 Chainz and Kreayshawn just dropped for their track "Murder." The internet went a little nuts back in January when photos from the Alex Nazari-directed video set we're released, and thankfully, the final video delivers on the song's promise of "murda." We see 2 Chainz and Oakland's Kreay Kreay giving in to "The Hunger" in a haunted hunting lodge, licking blood-covered knives and splitting a feast of raw (people?) meat.

Attention Glamberts! If we can just tear you away from your repeat listening of Adam Lambert's brand-spankin'-new Trespassing album (that dropped today), we'd like to show you some Adam Lambert photos! (I know. Feel free to address thank-you cards to MTV HQ). In celebration of THE MOST-ANTICIPATED ALBUM OF 2012 (too much?), we combed our archives to bring you some classic Lambert shots -- we went all the way back to his "American Idol" days in 2009 and continued through his evolution into 2012. Now we feel like we know him better than he knows himself.

Go back in time with us as we explore the many hairstyles of Adam Lambert, as well as the pristine forms of facial hair he's sported over the years (á la the photo above from last year). You'll laugh you'll cry, and you'll grab your crotch in camaraderie! Check out Buzzworthy's BEST OF ADAM LAMBERT PHOTO GALLERY, and peep more of our faves after the jump.

It's Tuesday! Time for another round of "5 Must-Hear Pop Songs of the Week"!

In case you haven't already heard (and really, my grandma already heard so you should be ashamed of yourself), Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are officially joining L.A. Reid and Simon Cowell on the judge's panel of next season's "X Factor"! What? That's in-sahne! I know! To celebrate the news, I've selected one song from each of the judges (well, and one "X Factor U.K." judge to round it all out) to celebrate their repertoire.

Seacrest out! (WAIT. Wrong show, wrong show...)

1.) Britney Spears, "Hot As Ice"

After weeks of negotiations, Britney's "X Factor" deal finally became a reality in late April -- as well as a reality show first: When all was said and done, Queen B made an icy hot $16 million on the deal, making her the highest-paid television judge in history, y'all (which is still a bargain, if you ask me).

In honor of the multimillion dollar deal, what better way to celebrate Brit Brit's legendary reign than with a spin of her 2007 Blackout brag attack, "Hot As Ice"? Produced by the unstoppable Danja, the springy number sees the Princess-turned-Queen of Pop merrily skipping on top of a space-age hip-pop beat while playfully massaging her ego. "New and improved, I'm saying thank you very much/ Living legend, you can look but don't touch," Brit Brit croons on one of the sassiest numbers in her back catalog. Though the song was released during one of the darkest periods in Queen B's career, it's still a standout. As you can see, fortunately, she's cold as fire... 14 years and counting! Viva La Holy Spearit!

+ LISTEN TO BRITNEY SPEARS, "HOT AS ICE"

Carly Rae Jepsen shares 10 things she's obsessed with. We co-sign on all of them.

It seemed only natural that when Carly Rae Jepsen stopped by MTV recently, we HAD to ask her which 10 things she is obsessed with right now. Because, duhhhh -- we've been obsessed with "Call Me Maybe" for 1 million years. The adorable Canadian was kind enough to share some of her current obsessions with us, and basically we love all of the same things and should be BFFs forever. ESPECIALLY if she'll let me borrow that broach she's wearing. UH-mazing.

Guess what: Carly's part of the Robyn fan club, y'all! Her first obsessions is "Call Your Girlfriend," both the song and the video. (We couldn't get her to reenact it like "SNL"'s Taran Killam, though.) Carly goes on to share more of-the-moment faves: her favorite YouTube video, her favorite accessories, and of course, Ryan Gosling. On her Gos obsesh, Carly gushes, "I'm OBSESSED with Ryan Gosling. Not in like, the creepy way, I hope. Just in like, a healthy way... I'm obsessed with him in a completely normal way." Us too, girl. Us too. (100 percent sarcasm.)

+ Check out 10 Thing's Carly Ray Jepsen's Obsessed With below, and become obsessed with her song "Call Me Maybe" after the jump (if you're not already).

If anyone knows how to write a stunning love song, it's Ne-Yo. So it makes sense that the "Think Like A Man" collaborator's latest tune, "Lazy Love," does not disappoint. This may be the slickest, most subtle love song we've heard in a minute.

A collaboration between Usher (the original panty dropper) and Rick Ross (the Teflon Don) seems like a match made in hip-hop heaven. And, surprise -- it is! Rick and Usher's collabo is titled "Touch 'N You," and it's a laid-back, sultry tune that boasts Rick's swagged-out rhymes and Usher's inimitable falsetto. Read: This is a nighttime-themed tune (IF YOU CATCH MY DRIFT).

Let Young Jeezy take "y'all bitchez back to '05" (but really back to only about a month ago on his recent Hustlerz Ambition tour) in the video for his epic tribute to all-night partying, "Way Too Gone." From the looks of it, Jeezy had his go-to West Coast director, TAJ, bring some cameras to his L.A. show, and the result is a black-and-white, strobed-out journey behind the scenes and on stage at a Young Jeezy show. Normally I'm never too impressed with music videos made with tour footage, but there's something about TAJ's film treatment and how his use of the Hype Williams strobe effect builds throughout the video to match Mike Will's layered prog-rap production that is really working for me here. He ultimately freaks out on the effect to the point where it's hard to focus on any of the images, but that's kind of just like that point in the night where you know you should just call it quits and go to sleep because the room is upside down, but you're already "way too gone" so you might as well keep it going.

L.A. Reid, Demi Lovato, Simon Cowell and Britney Spears -- your new 'X Factor' judges!

Uh. Muh. God. Let's talk about this, shall we? Where do we even start?! Even though it was basically official (and the worst-kept secret ever), we recently told you that Britney Spears was set to join the judges panel on the new season of "The X Factor." And just yesterday, we let you know about Demi Lovato joining that same group of judges (!!!). But the proof is in the pudding (or the Getty photo) -- the newest lineup of judges became OFFICIAL yesterday when both Brit and Demi were on hand for Fox's announcement of the show. We. Cannot.

First of all, who do we start talking about first -- Demi and Brit look equally amazing/flawless/stunning that we don't want to start talking about one without mentioning the other at the same time. Second, can you guys even wait for this show? I'm like, thinking of growing a playoff beard until the show starts and I'm a woman. Finally, Simon's pointy toe shoes -- now you cannot unsee them.
