Here we have Rihanna hanging out in the Pacific Ocean, spending some time in Hawaii. Just to get this out of the way, awesome matching headband/headwrap and bikini. It's the little things, you know?

Why was Rihanna in Hawaii? Fair question. It might be because she looked at the forecast for the East Coast this week, laughed and booked a ticket to the first island she could think of. Or maybe Rihanna's a really big "Lost" fan (the show was shot in Hawaii), and what we're really seeing is her, staring out into see, looking for Desmond's yacht.

The likely answer is that Rihanna is in Hawaii because Rihanna can do stuff like that. She can plan a trip to Hawaii the way you plan a trip to Target. Apparently the "What's My Name" singer was also doing a bit of jet skiing, but after you've seen Rihanna jet ski once, you've seen her do it a thousand times, am I right?

I would never in a million years think to put Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll" together in the same song. I would also never in a million years think that the result of said song would sound so cool. Enter "Glee," reigning prime-time TV musical mashup kings. (OK, maybe the only prime-time TV musical in the running, but still.)

This Sunday, Feb. 6, marks the return of "Glee," everyone's favorite sing-along show, and they're kicking off the season premiere with a bang. Covering the Yeah Yeah Yeahs is one thing, as anyone who's ever butchered "Maps" on Rock Band can tell you (AHEM). But covering Michael Jackson is entirely another. Yet somehow the musical geniuses over at "Glee" seem to have pulled it off without making you want to write them a strongly worded letter. Job well done!

The "Glee" "Thriller/Heads Will Roll" mashup is a high-energy, super dance-y take on the two already danceable originals. It's perfect for your afternoon Jazzercise routine, and I mean that in the best way possible. Their "Thriller" dance, though? We haven't seen it yet but godspeed, "Glee" cast. You are entering dangerous territory.

Last fall, we talked a bit about a leaked video for a Rihanna track called "Who's That Chick." Now, months later, the official version has finally hit the web.

Initially thought to be a track on Rihanna's Loud, "Who's That Chick" is, in fact, a kind of online video/advertisement for Doritos. However, the David Guetta-produced track wouldn't sound out of place on Rihanna's club-friendly Loud.

The video, directed by Lady Gaga favorite Jonas Åkerlund (who is also directing Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" video), is a space-age fantasy of bright colors and candy coating; think of it as a sci-fi version of Katy Perry's "California Gurls."

With liberal use of Auto-Tune, Rihanna delivers a knockout hook while clad in PVC leggins and rocking bright pink lipstick.

By all means, light up your life with Rihanna and David Guetta's "Who's That Chick" video.

Just as you've perfected your Dougie, the guys of The Lonely Island teamed up with Nicki Minaj during this weekend's "Saturday Night Live" to bring us "The Creep" -- a Frankenstein-like dance perfect for your inner weirdo, stalker and...creep. Don't worry, this one's not too difficult. Even Barbara Walters might be able to master it.

The skit showcases Andy Samberg and company dressed in their uncomfortably accurate creep attire -- ill-fitting suits, pencil mustaches, geek glasses and Brylcreem (patting myself on the back for referencing Brylcreem). They "creep" on girls in the club, at the ATM and in the tree outside of their neighbor's window. Nicki Minaj, aka "Point Dexter," shows up trying to get her "creep" on too, but she actually just looks like an adorable nerd.

Well, pretty adorable until the end when she tries to kiss a dead guy -- "When you sneak into a wake and you see a beefcake/Do the creep, do the creep." Gross! But just like she does on every other guest spot, Nicki steals the show. I want some of that mojo.

And maybe we're alone here, but creep or no creep, we still wanna marry The Lonely Island. Like, collectively. And Nicki Minaj, too, but that's obvious.

You know that scene in "Stand By Me" where Will Wheaton puts his hand on the track and can feel the train coming? Well, for the purposes of this post, I am Will Wheaton (and not just because of my boyish charm). And Jessie J is the train.

Jessie J is a burgeoning British pop star, though the word "star" might prove to be a bit of an understatement by this time next year. Jessie's music blog buzz and songwriting skills are such that her success might be more a matter of "when" than "if."

We're talking about a lady who cowrote Miley Cyrus' "Party In The U.S.A.," folks. Jessie has also written songs for Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake and Alicia Keys, but it was the song she didn't give away that might have made all the difference.

Jessie J's breakout single is "Do It Like A Dude," a ferocious piece of metallic pop that was originally penned for Rihanna. Listening to the provocative lyrics and slithering music, it's not hard to hear Rihanna on the track, but Jessie certainly put her stamp on it. And she teamed up with B.o.B on her newest single, "Price Tag."

Jessie J is currently prepping the release of her debut album, Who You Are, due out on March 28. You've been warned.

Why oh why do I suddenly feel compelled to use only words like "vivacious" and "vibrant" to describe Lea Michele's look on the March 2011 cover of Cosmopolitan? Oh, I don't know, maybe because I haven't seen a V that deep since Jennifer Lopez's legendary green Versace dress that spun the Earth off its axis at the 2000 Grammys.

That is a lot of sternum on parade. If that top were any lower, the world would be Lea's collective gynecologist.

The beauty part she's got down. Lea's hair and makeup are "Glee"-fully perfect. The cute striped, high-waisted skirt is chipper and cheery, almost like Rachel Berry herself. If that plunging V-neck were just a little narrower and her entire inner-boob weren't showing, the effect would be a lot more tasteful. So Lea? We know it's Cosmo, and they're all about a look I like to refer to as "The Silver Platter" (because you're basically offering ALL OF YOUR ASSETS up on a tray.) But there's a time and a place for that much chest to be shown, and it usually involves several shots of Goldschläger. Not that we've done that or anything.

We hope Lea Michele keeps her assets a bit more under wraps when she sings "America The Beautiful" at the Super Bowl next month.

After years of attracting throngs of screaming girls during his teen days, Jonathan Knight now joins the ever-growing band of boy banders who like boys -- including founding members *NSYNC's Lance Bass and Menudo's Ricky Martin -- by confirming publicly that he is gay. Many Jon Girls (girls whose favorite New Kids on the Block member was Jonathan Knight back in the '80s, during the band's original run) speculated as to whether Jonathan was really like "Please DO go girl" when he was crooning "Please DON'T go girl." One famous former Jon Girl in particular (perhaps THE most famous Jon Girl), Tiffany, unwittingly kinda outed the New Kids On The Block member in an interview on Bravo's "Watch What Happens Live." A week after the interview, Jonathan posted a blog in the members-only section of the New Kids on the Block website, confirming his sexual orientation for the first time publicly but claimed he had actually privately revealed he was gay "almost 20 years ago."

Tiffany told Bravo host Andy Cohen that her ex "became gay later." "Now looking back when we were dating," Tiffany said, "he was so much fun. We used to do facials together. He was so easy to talk to… And he was fabulous." Tiffany later apologized for outing Jonathan on Twitter: "Really didn't know that was the wrong thing to say... Never meant to hurt Jon."

Replied a good-natured Jonathan, "Tiff, please don't lose any sleep over it! I know you weren't being mean, and I found it to be funny!"

We applaud Jonathan Knight for being open with the public about his sexuality after so many years. But we're still not retiring our oversize Jon pin before the NKOTBBSB tour this summer. And memo to Backstreet Boy A.J. McLean: While Jon's coming out, we're glad that you're going IN -- to rehab to get some help. We look forward to seeing both groups back in action come June!

Here we have Britney Spears walking the aisle at a Miami wedding this weekend. No, the "Hold It Against Me" singer was not tying the knot with longtime boyfriend Jason Trawick. She was a bridesmaid in the wedding ceremony of her friend and assistant, Brett Miller, who married actor Frank Lionetti.

Britney's looking rather bridesmaid-y there, no? I find myself just shouting, "Aquaaaa!" in my best Oprah Winfrey voice.

Maybe that smirk from the singer comes from being such an old hand at weddings; Britney's been married twice herself, and has been rumored to be on the verge of tying the knot with Trawick on numerous occasions. Maybe Britney's down-the-aisle expression is like "Yo. I got this."

Britney and Jason Trawick, perhaps in an attempt to deflect media attention from themselves, kept a low profile over the weekend of wedding festivities. But that didn't stop some tabloids from finding out all the details. According to the Daily Mail, Britney skipped the reception, opting instead for a room service feast of turkey burgers, spaghetti and chicken noodle soup.

No offense to ol' Brett there, but if girl is opting for what amounts to a bad school cafeteria menu, you need to step your wedding food game up. Like, get some chicken skewers and dipping sauces up in that piece! At least some canapés.

We wish the happy couple (and Britney, of course), a lifetime of love.

This week's MTV PUSH Artist of the Week is the Los Angeles group Warpaint. We've been going kinda crazy about these California girls for a while now. They're one of MTV's Artists To Watch in 2011; they've got a fantastic, atmospheric and haunting debut album out (The Fool); and as you will see in the below videos, they're capable of making quite a gorgeous little racket, live.

Warpaint is Emily Kokal (vocals/guitar), Theresa Wayman (vocals/guitar), Jenny Lee Lindberg (bassist/vocals) and Stella Mozgawa (drums/keyboards), and on The Fool, the band crafts an exotic, ghostly sound with minimal instrumentation to back Wayman's ethereal vocals. But it's onstage where Warpaint is perhaps most in their element.

By way of illustration we have unmissable highlights from Warpaint's recent "Live In NYC" show for you. Watch Warpaint perform "Bees," "Composure," "Undertow," "Warpaint," "Set Your Arms Down" and "Majesty." And check out Warpaint interviews and photos from the group's "Live In NYC" performance.
