How you like me NOW, PETA? Still think Kelis doesn't like animals? The above image is taken from the artwork to Kelis' forthcoming Flesh Tone album. In case you need me to write out what your own eyes are telling you they see: yes, it's Kelis' top half with a dog's lower half.
This comes hot on the heels of the "Acapella" singer's exclusive Buzzworthy chat, wherein she discussed her ongoing feud with the animal rights organization. Whether Kelis made the image above to throw shots at PETA is further prove that she does not give a WHAT about anything or just wants to be half woman/half dog is up to you.
Check out Kelis' thoughts on fur below.

The Jonas Brothers have been busy brother bees. When they're not getting married, picking up awards or romancing young Disney starlets, they somehow find the time to churn out new songs.
The first song, "It's On," is from Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam and features guest vocals from a bevy of the movie's stars -- like Joe Jonas' GF Demi Lovato and former Missy Elliott backup dancer Alyson Stoner. The song is unbelievably perky (much like the cast itself) and it's the perfect dance-battle soundtrack.
The second Jonas Brothers offering, on the other hand, is called "L.A. Baby" and is from the upcoming second season of their Disney show "J.O.N.A.S.," which premieres June 20. "L.A. Baby" is more of a rock 'n' roll romp, perfect for cruising down the Pacific Coast highway -- or your town's Main Street -- with the windows down.
Isn't the visual of wind flowing through Joe's luxurious locks reason enough to check it out?
We thought so. "Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam" airs on Sept. 3, and the new season of "J.O.N.A.S." premieres on June 20, both on The Disney Channel.
+ Listen to "It's On" and "L.A. Baby" and tell us which song you like better.

The latest development in temporary skin art comes from newfound tattoo enthusiast Justin Bieber. As we breathlessly mentioned earlier today, Justin Bieber got a tattoo! And being Justin Bieber, this was photographed, and those photos were spread across the internet.
We asked earlier if you all thought J.B. was a little young to go under the needle. But just as we were considering such moral quandaries, commerce comes in and kicks those questions to the curb.
The Official Justin Bieber Online Shop has temporary Bieber tattoos for sale! For just 10 bucks, you can have your very own little piece of Bieber to do with what you'd like. If you want Justin Bieber on your forehead, forearm, regular cheek or, I guess even butt cheek, there's a tat for that.
Personally, I would've gone for a Justin Bieber/Black Flag tat, but that's just me.

First Justin Bieber and Nick Jonas fans sparred on Twitter, subverting Twitter's trending topic algorithm by an elite force "fanjacking" (an AMAZING portmanteau!) campaign. Then, Justin Bieber PRACTICALLY BROKE THE INNERNETZ when photos surfaced of Justin getting a tattoo of a bird while in Toronto. I mean, that photo of Justin getting his little waist forever emblazoned with a bird is pretty much going to be the next Buzz Aldrin walks on the moon, in terms of photos that rocked pop culture.
Anyway, aside from the fact that that photo pretty much brought the internet to a screeching halt, let's shine some light on one of the issues Bieber's tattoo raises: Justin Bieber is just 16 years old. Though his father accompanied him to get the tattoo (and apparently several members of the Bieber family have tats themselves, specifically a tattoo of a bird), there have been grumblings that 16 is just too young to get a bird on your waist.
What do you think? Is 16 too young to get a tattoo, even if you're with a parent? Is "But Justin Bieber Has A Tattoo!!!" going to be the rallying cry for anyone under 16 who wants a tat? Are you worried Justin might become the next Benji Madden or Trace Cyrus? Oh, Justin. With just a simple bird, you've opened up Pandora's Box of Bieber-related what ifs.
+ Plus: What did Justin Bieber think about the mom of a fan who got a tattoo to win tickets to meet him?

Here we see Katy Perry, leaving a gym somewhere in Hollywood. She may be keeping her L.A. Dodgers hat on, but we must doff our cap to her total and complete commitment to this whole "California Gurls" thing. Not only is she rocking the Dodger blue, but her T-shirt, which says, "4 Like Ever," is seemingly a tribute to that distinctive, equally loved and derided dialect of Cali Valley Girls called Valspeak.
Perhaps fearing that some other regions of "gurls" might feel left out of her pro-California anthem and the California gurl wardrobe of daisy dukes shorts with a bikini top, Perry took to Twitter yesterday to come up with a number of variations for different regions of the country. She even went as far to flip her lyrics for all the Amish gurls out there: "Floor length skirt, bonnet on top!"
Let it never be said that Katy Perry turned her back on Amish Gurls.

When we first heard about Steel Train, it was the lonely classic rock-inspired band on Drive-Thru Records' primarily pop-punk roster. In the years since releasing its 2005 debut album Twilight Tales From The Prairies Of The Sun, however, the band has kicked dust in the eyes of its Warped Tour brethren and forged a pretty impressive path on the indie-rock circuit.
Instead of signing with a label, the band decided to release a new self-titled album on its own imprint, Terrible Thrills. Filled with Modest Mouse-sounding romps (like "Turnpike Ghost") and ambient arena-rock jams (like The Killers-esque "Behavior"), Steel Train's third album is probably its best yet, and we can't wait to see the band perform new songs like "Bullet" and "Children Of The '90s (I'm Not The Same)" when it hits the road this summer.
Did we forget to mention that these guys are also totally easy on the eyes? Singer Jack Antonoff, former paramour of Scarlett Johansson and Alia Shawkat, can fuel our engine any time. Or, he could just introduce us to his fashion designer sister, Rachel. Her clothes are dope!
Steel Train's new self-titled album will be released June 29. In the meantime, check out the video for "I Feel Weird," off Steel Train's sophomore record, Trampoline.

Overshadowing (or SERIOUSLY HELPING) the promotion and impending release of Christina Aguilera's new album, Bionic, has been the incessant questioning, pondering and theorizing over whether or not Christina's intentionally swagger jacking Gaga's steeze.
We delved into this turf war ourselves, investigating the claims of Gaga's little monsters and the counter-claims of Aguilera's partisans about who influenced what and when.
Over the course of her press tour, Aguilera has vacillated between faint praise and mild derision for Gaga. She seemed to have finally given up any air of ambiguity by responding to Out magazine's asking her about Gaga, "Oh, the newcomer? I think she's really fun to look at."
So icy. Or not. Because, according to a statement posted on Christina's site, these comments were taken out of context and printed to "create unnecessary drama -- especially between us women." Christina herself had this to say about Lady Gaga:
"I have absolutely nothing against Lady Gaga or any other female artist in this business. I think she is great, and I appreciate any woman fearless enough to go against the norm. She has earned her success with hard work and a clear focus, and I have nothing but respect for that. There is room for all of us on everyone’s iPods."
So that's settled. At least until the next interview.

Inspired by the amazing work of Viek, a Beijing artist who makes Barbie-size versions of classic Lady Gaga ensembles, we started thinking about all the celebs we'd like to see endowed with a Barbie created in their image. After a lot of research -- and a couple unnecessary trips to the American Girl store -- we came up with the following list of 6 celebs we'd like to see in Barbie form.
We'd explain more, but we've got to go back and pick up Lanie from the doll hair salon. We can't wait to see how her double-flip twist turned out!

1.) Hayley Williams: The Paramore singer has already admitted to collecting Barbies so it seems only fitting that she have one of her own. Her hair would change color with warm water and, in a perfect plastic world, she'd be wearing creepers, Dickies pants and an H20 hoodie. Plus, she'd come with a Chad Gilbert boyfriend doll, as well. [Insert collective pop-punk swoon here.]

2.) Tyson Ritter: When he's not giving you hell on stage with The All-American Rejects, Tyson Ritter can often be seen striking a pose for various clothing campaigns. Yup, homeboy is a male model in his spare time. Color us impressed. And attracted. A doll version of the Oklahoma native would have to come with a vial of silver glitter and your own temporary AAR tattoo.

3.) Katy Perry & Russell Brand: Sure, Katy already has her own doll and likes to kiss girls, and he's had kind of a ton of sex, but the Barbie brand could really benefit from having a power couple in bustiers and extremely tight pants.

4.) Justin Bieber: With his perfect button nose, pouty lips and all-too-perfect coif5., Justin Bieber already looks like a living doll. However, just like Oreos, jelly bracelets and episodes of "Party Down," you can never have too much Bieb. That said, we'd like to see our Bieber doll come with a pair of Nike dunks, a fitted cap and a long-bristled dandy brush so we can spend hours grooming his luxurious hair. What? It's not like that's creepy or anything.

5.) Ke$ha: We imagine Ke$ha's doll incarnation would be a little less Barbie and a little more Jem, but that's just us. Either way, possible accessories include mini Whiskey bottles, hair feathers and flamboyant male backup dancers.

6.) Bill Kaulitz: The Tokio Hotel frontman is so beautiful, we're worried that Barbie might be threatened by his looks. She's been super-insecure since that behatch Bella Swan Barbie hit the scene and started flirting with Edward Cullen Ken.
